  • Legislative process | City of Lexington, Kentucky

    Lexington, KY
    Other

    The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, composed of a vice mayor, two at-large members, and 12 district representatives, follows a five-step legislative process to write, revise, and adopt resolutions and ordinances for Fayette County. Resolutions are temporary or diplomatic in character, while ordinances establish permanent rules and are codified in the Code of Ordinances, appropriate funds, or are required by law. Items originate in one of four committees (Budget, Finance and Economic Development; Environmental Quality and Public Works; General Government and Planning; Social Services and Public Safety), where they are researched and discussed by committee members who vote to pass or fail them. Passed items are reported out to the full council at a work session, typically about one month later, where all councilmembers discuss and vote on them. If an item passes work session, it advances to first reading at the next scheduled Thursday council meeting, followed by a second reading at a subsequent meeting; the council may vote to suspend rules and combine both readings immediately.

  • Redlining in Evanston

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    This document traces the history of racial discrimination and housing segregation in Evanston, Illinois from 1860 to 1958. Key developments include Illinois repealing its 1853 act barring Black residency in 1865, though Evanston adopted Jim Crow policies between 1900 and the 1930s through exclusionary tactics and racial covenants prohibiting home sales to non-Caucasians. In 1920–1927, Chicago attorney Nathan MacChesney drafted a Code of Ethics addition forbidding realtors from introducing members of other races into certain neighborhoods and created a model racially restrictive covenant targeting "Colored" people for the Chicago Real Estate Board. The 1930 Home Owners Loan Corporation residential security maps graded lending risks across over 200 cities, with Evanston's Fifth Ward designated as redlined (D2 rating), based partly on HOLC statements characterizing Black population growth as "quite a serious problem." By 1948, a mass meeting addressed the city's failure to provide housing for Black residents, and a 1948 judgment ruled against Evanston's attempt to restrict veteran housing for Black residents. In January 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. visited Beth Emet the Free Synagogue in Evanston to speak on integration.
