been entering into for some of our uh departmental
operations.

you know I gave
you know, I gave you a big hug when I saw you because I was
excited to just know that we have somebody who's going to
take care of the business. Uh, and I look forward to

of the business. Uh, and I look forward to working uh with
you. I think this is a great appointment by the mayor. Uh,
I commend him on it.
I commend him on it, uh getting No Nonsense people to come
back to City Hall. Uh, it's a benefit for the city of
Chicago and I know when I saw you I mentioned something to
you and I don't I'm not sure if it's with
with your department or not.
I mentioned something.
I mentioned something to the environmental, uh checks.
I mentioned something to the environmental, uh checks on
the Lots. Is that still is that what you were with the
environment? Yes, that's what you sow and what I
to you is that you know right now.
to you is that you know, right now it takes the city or
planning and housing a long time to sell Lots.
planning and housing a long time to sell Lots because of
the environmental.
the environmental, uh, check on them, right and uh,
the environmental, uh, check on them. Right and uh, and for
what I understand, uh in your department.
what I understand, uh in your department and I mentioned it
to other people in the administration.
to other people in the administration that there's only 1
person that deals with that.
person that deals with that environmental part with
checking a lot matter.
checking a lot matter of fact, I heard from uh, had a
conversation with uh, the head of NH,
conversation with uh, the head of NHS because they repair,
you know stuff.
you know stuff on houses and stuff, uh as a deleg
for us and they were saying that
and they were mentioning to me? It's only 1 Guy and that
department.
department that does that and uh, you know, do I don't know
if you had a chance to look at that.
if you had a chance to look at that but uh, Mr. Chairman
budget chairman, I think we need some more people to deal
with the environmental part because right now it takes us a
long time to be able to relinquish a lot to someone because
we're waiting on the uh, the see what the uh,
with you know, how
With you know how the the soil is, uh before they can do
it. So what was I correct that there's 1 person that does
that or so I did start looking into it we do have
that or so I did start looking into it. We do have uh
shortage of Staff. We do have a few vacancies. Um, so we
are looking to post those positions, uh within the next
quarter. All right, so you were correct. Yes.
quarter. All right, so you were correct. Yes fantastic. So
we so you guys just need to know um,
that environmental Park and
That environmental Park and hold up from us selling lots in
our Ward.
our Ward and or getting someone to build on a lot in.
Ward because sometimes it take as long as a year.
Ward because sometimes it take as long as a year before and
I just give you an example for me. I had a lot that would
that we
Gave to someone they won the bid on a lot we went.
Community meetings everything it took environmental a year
by the time environment.
by the time environmental gave them the uh,
environmental was done the lot of praise for more money.
and it
And it it cost them more money to get the lot now and they
said they didn't want.
said they didn't want it because the price went up so
over the years time and now we got to deal with somebody
got to go all over again to get the lot. So so so it has
the adverse effect.
the adverse effect on our economy on our Ward.
the adverse effect on our economy on our Wards, especially
those of us on the West Side who's trying to fill in these
vacant Lots in our community. So so I appreciate you
looking into it before you even got sworn in. Thank you
very much. Uh, you're welcome. That just shows me.
very much. Uh, you're welcome. That just shows me how good
of a commissioner you are and you're going to be thank you.
I support this 100% Thank you. Vice mayor that that is a
good point that you raised in relation to the uh amount of
time. It's taken to get Environmental.
Um, we can we look at the possibility of uh, you know
contract
Contracting out that that service uh, because it seems like
we have a bulk of lots that
primarily been on the large loss of shot block builders
that have uh, continuously been on hold because of
environmental clearance issues. So that's something that
you could look at as far as looking at a contractor get the
backlog cleared out and then as as you hire because I'm
sure we're still going to continue to have this challenge
but right now we've got a a huge
But right now we've got a a huge number of lots that need
to get out and and this seems to be an impediment to making
that happen, which is holding up development in a lot of
that happen which is holding up development in a lot of
communities. So, uh, we definitely appreciate you, uh,

Auto Machinist
Auto machinist and uh, we have 33 vacancies for auto
Machinist.
machinists. So what I'd like to start doing and that's 1 of
the top most vacancies that we have right now, but what I
would like to start doing Alderman is start talking to the
unions. Uh, we did this.

residents of the city of Chicago.
residents of the city of Chicago there. There's not a lot
of people who live in the city with these uh with this
background, but that just 1 example, right? Right. And so
background, but that just 1 example, right? And so and so
with that said, can you provide through the chair? Um all
23 of those different unions? Yes, and then the number of
vacancies you have within each of you know, the trades and
if you can provide that through the chair, I know you
mentioned the 33

just say it all out. Anyway, um, but if you

That would be very helpful.
We'll do thank you and then my my final.
We'll do thank you and then my my final uh question is has
to do with um, I guess the police car.
to do with um, I guess the police cars you guys manage
