Okay, automobile. Had a question. Yeah. Yes, automobile had a question. Okay, thank you. Madam. Chair a question that I have is just the other day. We had a meeting where people that were voting remotely. We're not allowed to be counted as Quorum and you stated that they will be counted towards Quorum so which is it people remotely can be or they can't be worth what it's worth on. I cannot speak to other meetings I can speak to this one, but I can say that today after you reached after you. app after you reach Quorum everybody who is remote is allowed to Dana Corporation counsel, please. Give an opinion. mark Mark Siegel assistant Corporation counsel Though I I can't give a formal legal opinion, but I can tell you what the law states with. The last date is that remote members cannot be counted towards Quorum but may participate in the meeting provided the Quorum has already been established. Okay, so they can that be counted towards Quorum. That's correct. I need to be a quorum established before they are allowed to participate remotelink. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. Secondly, you know, I'm just really really perplexed that we have been actively trying to have a committee meeting and have dialogue and conversation about the ordinance to put the question of sanctuary City on the ballot and then there's been there's been an aggressive. An aggressive movement to prevent that from happening. And if we want to collaborate and work together and try to work things out, you know, my phone is always on and nobody has ever called me and said automobile. Can you come in and we can talk about that Ordnance? Nobody's ever called me. So I'm always willing to sit down and you know come up with a compromise or you can't compromise with people who don't want to sit down and talk to you now. I did get a call at 6:30 last night from Jeff Levine asking me to talk about a substitute to the resolution and I asked him to send it to me. He said well, I can't send it to you. but But I can read it to you. and And I said, you know, that doesn't do me any good and I said, you know, this is the 12-hour and now is not the time to try to negotiate without the person who sponsored the ordinance and when you look at you know, the ordinance we have numerous amount of sponsors on that awareness and we're all willing to sit down and collaborate because of me and that's the word everybody likes to use nowadays and I would like to collaborate and you know, I'm always willing to do that, but you can't collaborate with people who don't want to collaborate with you. I'm I think I'm very reasonable person Very reasonable person. I think you know negotiated and collaborated my entire career. And so to put this forward to try to squeeze out the ordinance of sanctuary City I think is doing a disservice to this entire city, so we we would very much like to just we were we want very much like to just have the people have a voice. The people have never had a voice on on that particular ordinance or resolution and we spending a lot of money. We're spending a lot of money every single day. I think we have 240 million a month now ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 40 million a month. and to shut people out from having a boys is not what this city Foundation was built on at the same time. You're asking us to let the people have a boys on bring home, Chicago. Are you want that boy? but But you don't want the boys on Sanctuary City. now not Not a difference is the Saints the Saints word City you all is a non-binding resolution. It's just a discussion. it It's to hear what the people of Chicago are feeling and thinking. but But when you don't want when you don't want the people to hear you. when When you don't want the people to have a voice. You have chaos is what you see going on. That's why you seen the chaos in this city because you're trying to silence a voice of certain people that just want to be heard. And so and so my hope and throws behind people here in this body is just give the people Chicago voice you are giving people a chance to say yes or no. We don't we don't want. people to be disenfranchised and And so I think that's what this is doing. I think this is really throwing fuel on the fire and to not talk to the people who sponsored the ordinance I think is a disservice. and this is this is part of the division that people are talking about the division is not coming from the other side. The division is coming from inside. That's what the division is coming from. It's all ladies and gentlemen, if you all would just give the people a chance to say yes or no, that's all it is. And so I respectfully ask everybody to vote this soreness down both the soreness down and we can still today bring the sanctuary City or in this before this body by the majority of the members present to talk about it. Put it on the ballot and let the people decide what they want to do with their government. Thank you matter to me. Thank you and Lopez. Thank you. Thank you chairman and good morning members of the rules committee. At the alderman have his day. I guess. Again, thank you. Thank you chairman. And yes to the people in the gallery. We understand the frustration of public comment, but allow me to read what actually The Substitute of this resolution state. The original dealt with whether or not the city of Chicago should open more mental health clinics and considering that our mayor Brandon Johnson said that he was committed to opening more and was going to budget to do anymore. There was no reason to even have this as a question. It was simply a tactic as my colleague said to squeeze out the original question that was proposed Channel Chicago remain a sanctuary City. Now ladies and Gentlemen Just substituted The Substitute question is as follows should the city of Chicago impose reasonable limits on the city's providing resources for migrants Sheltering such as funding caps and shelter occupancy time limits if necessary to prevent a substantial negative impact on Chicago's current residence. that That is the question. Okay, that is the question. I do. I don't think they're mad at me. but the But that is the question Madam chairman and members of the committee that we are now putting before that. We are discussing now putting before the voters. Should we limit how much we spend which sets us up? Go to Quest. Could a question that what happens when you reach the limit? What are you going to do? When you say we spent all the money we're willing to spend so you still have bus is arriving here. This question does not answer the issue as to why people continue to be shipped to the city of Chicago and they are shipped here because we remain on a Bosch and I'm staying a welcoming City a sanctuary City, even though Republicans and Democrats are not taking full advantage of that. add a Adam Sherman, okay. madame Madam chairman I can continue louder we We want clear the room and if we can't get order Madame chairman, I can say this I to do not support this resolution because it's automatically sets the city of Chicago up for failure again. We need to vote this down. We need a clean referendum that simply put the question to all of Chicago. Shall we remain a sanctuary City? Because what we know and what so many in this room fear is that the true Coalition of between the African-American and Latino communities does exist around this question because both communities want an Intuit. Both committees are being forced to house individuals while those that are proponents of this remain steadfast without a single migrant shelter in their communities. It is unacceptable that we continue down this path. I did. Additionally Madam chairman. I need to clarify something every meeting at the behest of his honor. I invoke rule 59 which allows for remote participation of members. To be perfect. To be perfectly honest it is not up to the chair or presiding officer and whether or not individuals are allowed to participate it is up to the majority of those present here physically to issue a motion to allow those individuals to participate count towards Quorum which did not happen. So if we want their voices to be heard, we must first incorporate a motion to bring them into this meeting officially in accordance with rule 59 because we do have a quorum of bodies here present their participation is only as a spectator up until this point unless we grant them permission. Otherwise They've been granted already ottoman Lopez by all them and dial are there other questions automatically panettone. Thank Lake Camanche what were what really gets me about this situation right now is about 4 weeks ago. We posed a simple question to be on the referendum simple question. Do you as a resident City Chicago believe that we should remain a sanctuary City. It's a simple question. NF in imposing that question when When we put it together we wanted to hear from them. we We wanted to hear from everybody outside of City Hall in four weeks. We've had everything done to keep this question off a referendum. Everything has been done so much so that we took five roll call vote until enough of us weren't here or were pushed out of the room where this could not be put on as a referendum. The entire city seen that happen. In three days you created another. play Question or a substitute substitute question to a referendum in 3 days. We're we were We wrote it and we came in here and we voted on to hear it or they have it submitted. We can't even get ours out of rules. We can't even get our foot to be talked about in these Chambers. All right everybody. are Everybody has to have a seat or you will be cleared out. are Alderman Napolitano, go ahead Alderman luppatatong to go ahead. so So here's my question. Let's just make this as simple as possible. This is what this question is causing right now. if If we are body and city council members that are elected to represent our residence and asking a simple question cuz they are dying to be heard and worked at 9 that then we avoided Council. We are not representative of our neighborhoods in our communities. They were we're representative Justice building and that's not what we're supposed to be doing here were supposed to be answering them. We're supposed to be answering to our neighborhood. Okay, let's clear the room sergeant-at-arms. Please clear the room. Girl doll Girl Doll room where We're going to stand at in 45 minutes by the sergeant in arms clears the room. the song play Ladies and gentlemen. Can I have your attention, please? Can I please have your attention? if If you are planning on staying in the meeting, please have a seat if you continue with disturbance the room will be clear. Please have a seat. I'm begging of you to please have a seat. This is the last warning. play ladies and gentlemen I'm asking you one last time. Please don't continue to disturb this meeting. Please have a seat receive the information that's being distributed and keep your voices to a minimum. If I have to ask you again. To cease and desist with noise. I will have you removed from this chamber. Thank you. All right. We are going to recess this meeting until Thursday at noon. Thank you.
