Hey, thank you so much, Chair. I, I will say I love the project. I love the continuing evolution of the Kinzie Industrial Corridor, the kinds of businesses that continue to open, expand, create jobs there. My, my only question was, why fund this work through a Class 6B rather than the Kinzie Industrial Corridor TIF?”

How is it that we’re going to incorporate what Ernst and Young found in their reports and recommendations into the CIP so that we’re tying in how we’re doing things?”
“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
Attendance

Roll calls at 13 of 14 meetings, through Oct 8, 2026

From the clerk’s own record, listed by seat. This is the official attendance record. It is separate from our voice counts, and we don’t compare members on it.
How the record counts. The clerk's roll call records present or absent only; there is no excused category. Only the City Council and a few committees publish it.
