  • Statement on Proposals that didnt move forwar

    Evanston, IL
    Budget

    Evanston's Participatory Budgeting process collected over 1,200 community ideas during the idea collection phase, which approximately 60 Budget Delegates then narrowed down to create up to 24 ballot proposals. Ideas did not advance for four primary reasons: ineligibility under American Rescue Plan Act federal guidelines, insufficient clarity or information, lack of volunteer support, or duplication of existing city operations. Budget Delegates made final decisions democratically through committee research and City staff feedback to determine which proposals would reach the ballot. All Evanston community members—defined as those who live, work, study, or have a child studying in the city—are eligible to vote on the final proposals in September. Ideas that do not make the ballot or do not win will be retained and shared with relevant City staff and non-profit organizations.
