  • City of Evanston Local Reparations

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    In December 2020, the City of Evanston's Reparations Subcommittee recommended that the City Council discuss a proposed restorative housing program as part of the city's local reparations initiative. The proposal drew on N'COBRA and NAARC definitions of reparations as a process of repairing and restoring communities harmed by institutional injustice, emphasizing that remedies must be defined by those who suffered the harm and managed through independent structures. The city had established the Reparations Fund in November 2019 with $10 million in funding from a 3% Municipal Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax, tasking the Reparations Subcommittee with conducting a feasibility study on housing assistance programs and economic development opportunities for Black residents to address historical wealth and opportunity gaps.

  • Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council CC:

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    On February 24, 2020, the Plan Commission recommended denial of two ordinances (29-O-20 and 30-O-20) proposing creation of a new R5a General Residential zoning district and rezoning of approximately 85 parcels north of Emerson Street. The rezoning was intended to reduce height limits in the area to better align with existing lower-height residential buildings and prevent creation of nonconforming uses, though the area has been zoned for similar height and density since at least the 1960s. The matter was forwarded to City Council for introduction.

    Proposal

    Ordinance 29-O-25 authorizes the City Manager to execute the sale of city-owned property at 1222 Washington Street to Evanston Township High School District No. 202 for an affordable housing initiative.

The sale requires a two-thirds majority vote per City Code Section 1-17-5, and income-eligible employees of ETHS and the City of Evanston may be prioritized for purchase.

  • The 2019 Referendum to Hold Non-Partisan Elections in Evanston

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    On October 29, 2019, the Evanston City Council passed a resolution instructing the City Clerk to place a referendum on the March 17, 2020 ballot asking voters to approve nonpartisan elections for the positions of mayor, city alderman, and city clerk. Although Evanston has historically conducted most of its elections on a nonpartisan basis, Illinois constitutional requirements mandate that residents formally approve such elections through a binding referendum. The referendum would allow these municipal offices to be elected without party affiliation designations, effective with the 2020 election and thereafter.

  • The Small Donor Fund Ordinance can be found here.

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    On September 26, 2023, Evanston City Council proposed Ordinance 56-O-23 to establish a Small Donor Democracy Matching System for Fair Elections by adding new provisions to the city's municipal elections code. The ordinance aims to address concerns about the current campaign finance system, including that it discourages qualified candidates from running, favors wealthy donors and incumbents, reduces voter participation, and creates conflicts of interest. The proposal would implement a matching fund system designed to amplify small-dollar donations and reduce candidates' dependence on large donors and personal wealth.
