Speaking to dozens of 2nd and 3rd graders eating a pizza lunch at City Hall, Emanuel said he's making plans to launch a larger reading program similar that will be similar to one he sponsored as a congressman. “We’re going to do citywide a program called Rahm’s Readers,” Emanuel told Jenner Elementary students and the city employees who had helped them once a week with reading. “I don’t think we’re going to be able to pull it off for this summer, but I want to do it in summer months, so you don’t roll back on your learning.” Former Mayor Richard Daley, who also backed summer reading programs, launched his “One Book, One Chicago” program with "To Kill a Mockingbird" in 2001. Under the “Rahm’s Readers” program the new mayor offered as a congressman, children read books other than those assigned in school. They also took part in a bookmark decorating contest. At the end, they got a certificate and picture with Emanuel during a graduation ceremony. “We’re going to do graduation ceremonies throughout the summer called Rahm’s Readers,” Emanuel said today of the program he was still planning. Emanuel joked with the children, saying he “loved pizza” and was going to swipe some of theirs. He explained how he, his wife and children pick three books to read each summer. Smiling and lowering his voice, he added: “Sometimes we don’t get all three read. . . . A big summer reading list is really, really important, and I’ve already got two of my books picked for the summer reading list.” The mayor in his first days in office has appeared in settings with children, perhaps to underscore his emphasis on education. They sang at his inauguration, were on hand for the signing of his first executive orders and served as a backdrop for other official actions and announcements. Emanuel dropped by on the lunch, which was part of the non-profit Working in the Schools (WITS) Power Lunch Program. City employees helped students at Jenner, one of 26 schools served by the program, said Jenne Myers, WITS former executive director and now the city’s chief service officer. As a bonus, Emanuel promised to sign the certificates of achievement being handed out to students to recognize them for their extra-curricular reading.

The Festival culminates with its signature grand finale dance showcase on the stunning outdoor stage of the Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, the event that launched the Chicago Dancing Festival tradition five years ago. Highlights of the 2011 line-up include top Chicago companies Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, The Joffrey Ballet and River North Dance Chicago, the return of New York-based iconic companies Martha Graham Dance Company, Paul Taylor Dance Company and Lar Lubovitch, plus Rocky Mountain-region powerhouses Aspen Santa Fe Ballet and Ballet West.

About the Chicago Dancing Festival The Chicago Dancing Festival was founded in 2007 to heighten awareness of dance in Chicago, to increase accessibility to the art form and to provide aspiration for local artists. Its mission is to present a wide variety of excellent dance, enrich the lives of the people of Chicago and provide increased accessibility to the art form, thereby helping create a new audience. Its vision is to raise the national and international profile of dance in the city, furthering Chicago as a dance destination.

Born in Chicago, Lubovitch was educated at the University of Iowa and the Juilliard School in New York. Jay Franke (Founder, Artistic Director) first danced with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company in 2005. Jay began his formal training at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas. In 1993 he was selected as a Finalist for Presidential Scholar in the Arts and accepted into the Juilliard School. Upon receiving his B.F.A. in Dance from the Juilliard School, Franke went to work with the Twyla Tharp Dance Company, “THARP!” Franke has since danced with The 58 Group, Lyric Opera Ballet Chicago, and most recently Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.

Individuals who understand that teamwork is critical to the success of our collective mission: to serve and protect the residents of Chicago. As part of that announcement, I introduced Garry McCarthy as my choice for Superintendent of Police. Garry and I remain committed to restoring a proven command structure to the department. And today I am pleased to announce the selection of Alfonza Wysinger as 1 st Deputy Superintendent for the Chicago Police Department. Alfonza is a model Chicago Police Officer, whose distinguished career has set him apart as a leader amongst his peers. He has received numerous awards and recognition, including the Lambert Tree Award, the department’s highest award for outstanding bravery in the line of duty. His knowledge of the department is extensive, and experience spans across multiple bureaus and divisions. Through hard work and dedication he has risen through the ranks but remains an advocate for beat officers, which are the backbone of the police department. Alfonza is a great choice for the 1st Deputy position, and am confident that he will help us accomplish our mission of keeping Chicago safe. As mayor, I am committed to providing the Police Department with the tools they need to be successful. We’re going to continue decentralize the Chicago Police Department and hold the local District commanders accountable. We are also going to continue working on moving officers to the beat. By placing these officers on the beat and under the authority of a district commander it promotes greater continuity in and accountability for police service, fosters a sense of ownership in the communities the officers serve, and creates stronger relationships between police and residents. Together with Gary McCarthy, the Command Staff of the Chicago Police Department and each and every officer, we will work to help make this a safer city for its residents. ### Chris Mather Director of Communications Mayor Rahm Emanuel From: Boutell, Jody [JBoutell@pritzkerrealty.com] on behalf of Pritzker, Penny [PPritzker@pritzkerrealty.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 11:05 AM To: 'mayor_re@rahmemail.com' CC: Loredo, Shannon Subject: Invitation: President Kagame Lunch Importance: High Dear Mayor Emanuel, On June 10th and 11th Chicago is celebrating Rwanda Day, and as a part of the celebration, I will be hosting His Excellency the President of the Republic of Rwanda Paul Kagame at a luncheon on Friday, June 10th, at 12:30 PM at the Park Hyatt Chicago, and would be honored if you would join President Kagame and me.

Cc: April Goble; Deborah Quazzo; Jonathan Cowan Subject: PRINTED FOR BVR NWEA-MAP Bruce: We had a very helpful and productive session this morning with Danielle Eisenberg, the member of Jonathan's team who is responsible for the Foundation's national assessment and evaluation programs and activities. The meeting was in part a very useful tutorial but also addressed next steps regarding the CPS project at hand. Our recommendations re next steps are as follows: -Arrange an abbreviated version of our tutorial session for your benefit to both establish a common factual baseline and framework of understanding regarding alternative testing approaches, vendors/tools, key judgment issues regarding performance growth targets, etc. and also to provide you the opportunity to drill down into these content areas as deeply as you wish. Of course, happy to include Phyllis as well; -Arrange a session with Josh Anderson to share KIPP's perspectives on teacher performance assessment, unpack TFA's apparently very different approach to performance assessment using MAP and compare the two methodologies; and -Arrange a meeting amongst CICS, KIPP, LEARN, Uno, NSfC and TFA to share learnings regarding use of MAP as well as exchange views regarding a common recommended approach to teacher performance assessment across CPS (district and charter). We suggest this first cut at the working group as it would comprise schools broadly comparable in terms of model and performance though diverse in approach, small enough to work productively and expeditiously yet large enough to be somewhat representative. We are happy to include others (such as AUSL, Noble, U of C, district magnets, etc.) though differences in models and total number of participants at too early a stage in process raises issues of efficiency. That said, particularly keen to get your guidance on composition of initial group and how, when and with whom to expand the circle over time. I would welcome the chance to discuss this at your earliest convenience. Ben Benjamin D. Chereskin Profile Capital Management LLC Wrigley Building 400 N.

Think again. During a classroom visit Thursday at South Loop Elementary School, 1212 S. Plymouth Court, a firstgrader asked Mayor Rahm Emanuel about his push for both, as if she just can’t wait to spend more time in school. “You would have more time in the classroom. You could have more reading time. You could have more math time. You like that one? Was that a thumbs-up on math?” Emanuel said, kneeling down to talk to the eager student. “We can have more artistic programs — painting or dance or things like that. Is that a thumbs-up, too?” The little girl replied, “Yeah,” and gave the mayor the thumbs-up sign. Emanuel scored a victory during the Illinois General Assembly’s just-completed spring session on his No. 1 legislative priority: an education reform bill that paves the way for a longer school day and school year and makes it easier to get rid of tenured teachers and more difficult for them to go on strike. On Thursday, the new mayor seemed genuinely surprised that the little girl not only knew about it, but welcomed more time in school. “I’m glad you know about the longer school day. ... Would you give a thumbs-up to a longer school day? How ’bout a little longer school year? Okay, we’ve got two thumbs up? And some more math and science? That’s a double thumbs-up,” he said. Minutes before, the student seated next to the little girl had proudly informed the mayor that Thursday was her birthday. That prompted Emanuel to say, “How ’bout some extra birthdays because, if you have a longer school year, you catch some extra birthdays’’ — which means more birthday parties at school. The birthday question drew the most enthusiastic reaction and giggles from the kids. Afterwards, Emanuel played a round of thumb war with the eager student. He either let her win or lost fair and square because of a Band-Aid on his thumb. “I got you!” she told the mayor.

Really cute. 1st-grader gives thumbs up to push for longer school day, year BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter fspielman@suntimes.com Last Modified: Jun 2, 2011 02:30PM With temperatures rising and summer vacation fast approaching, you’d think the last thing that a kid would want to talk about is a longer school day and school year. Think again. During a classroom visit Thursday at South Loop Elementary School, 1212 S. Plymouth Court, a firstgrader asked Mayor Rahm Emanuel about his push for both, as if he just can’t wait to spend more time in school. “You would have more time in the classroom. You could have more reading time. You could have more math time. You like that one? Was that a thumbs-up on math?” Emanuel said, kneeling down to talk to the eager student. “We can have more artistic programs — painting or dance or things like that. Is that a thumbs-up, too?” The little boy, Parker Rasmussen, replied, “Yeah,” and gave the mayor the thumbs-up sign. Emanuel scored a victory during the Illinois General Assembly’s just-completed spring session on his No. 1 legislative priority: an education reform bill that paves the way for a longer school day and school year and makes it easier to get rid of tenured teachers and more difficult for them to go on strike. On Thursday, the new mayor seemed genuinely surprised that the little boy not only knew about it, but welcomed more time in school. “I’m glad you know about the longer school day. ... Would you give a thumbs-up to a longer school day? How ’bout a little longer school year? Okay, we’ve got two thumbs up? And some more math and science? That’s a double thumbs-up,” he said. Minutes before, the student seated next to Rasmussen had proudly informed the mayor that Thursday was her birthday. That prompted Emanuel to say, “How ’bout some extra birthdays because, if you have a longer school year, you catch some extra birthdays’’ — which means more birthday parties at school. The birthday question drew the most enthusiastic reaction and giggles from the kids. Afterwards, Emanuel played a round of thumb war with the first student. He either let Rasmussen win or lost fair and square because of a Band-Aid on his thumb. “I got you!” he told the mayor.

But I think it gets all of his points across. How does this look to you (a few questions in brackets in the text). Autumn by Rahm Emanuel Days [NOTES: [[REALLY, JUST DAYS? NOT MONTHS, OR SO EARLY INTO MY TENURE.?..]]] into my tenure as mayor of Chicago, with my focus on keeping our city's streets safe, our schools strong and our finances stabilized, I expected my attention to be in the Midwest. But as an American and the son of an Israeli immigrant, I have a deep, abiding commitment to the survival, security and success of the state of Israel. I am among the many who know that the Israeli people yearn for peace. They have taken risks for peace in spite of dangers. They will again, when they have a viable partner in the process and the region [NOTES: [[NEIGHBORS RECOGNIZE?]]] recognizes a Jewish state with secure and defensible borders. President Obama, like every student of the Middle East, understands that the shifting sands of demography in that volatile region are working against the two-state solution needed to end generations of bloodshed. The fragile stasis that exists today cannot hold. Israel's survival as a Jewish, democratic state is at stake from many factors, including uncertainty brought by the Arab Spring, growth in the Palestinian population, unilateral efforts to create a recognized state of Palestine and technological advances in weaponry. That is why, from his first days in office, the president has invested so much in encouraging meaningful negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. His goal has been one shared by a succession of Israeli and American leaders: two nations, the Jewish state of Israel and Palestine for the Palestinian people, living side by side, in peace and security. As I listened to the president's speech on the Middle East, I heard him reaffirm his strong commitment to Israel's safety, security and prosperity. He said the U.S. relationship with Israel is unshakable. He said that the conflict cannot be resolved through unilateral actions or a U.N. vote establishing a Palestinian state but only through negotiations between the parties. The president said that Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with a Palestinian Authority that embraces Hamas, a terrorist organization sworn to Israel's destruction. He said that an independent Palestine must be a non-militarized state and that Israel's security should be demonstrated before phased Israeli withdrawals are completed. No peace can take place, he said, that does not provide Israel with the ability to defend itself. [NOTES:[[IF ISRAEL DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEFEND ITSELF.?..]]] One sentence that he uttered received the most attention: "The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states." There, the president stated a concept that has been the basis of every serious attempt at resolution since the negotiations President Bill Clinton held at Camp David in 2000. He reminded us that every president and many Israeli elected leaders have recognized that the borders are one starting point for negotiations, not the end point. That statement does not mean a return to 1967 borders. No workable solution envisions that. Land swaps offer the flexibility necessary to ensure secure and defensible borders and address the issue of settlements. As the president said at the annual American Israel Public Affairs Committee conference, "it means that the parties themselves - Israelis and Palestinians - will negotiate a border that is different than the one that existed on June 4, 1967." Those are the messages Obama carried to our allies in Europe last week, as they contemplated events in the Middle East and the prospect of a U.N. resolution. At a time when Israel is increasingly isolated in the world, our president is fighting efforts to weaken and delegitimize the Jewish state in the international arena. The president I know and worked for is deeply committed to Israel's peace and security. I have seen him make unprecedented commitments to guarantee the continued qualitative military edge essential to Israel's security in a dangerous neighborhood. I saw him withdraw the United States from the Durban II conference when it became clear the conference's purpose would be to slander Israel. Through sanctions and other means, he has worked tirelessly to rally the world against Iran and deter its nuclear program, the single greatest threat to Israel. He stood up to the skewed Goldstone report and other efforts to undercut Israel at the United Nations. And he has spent time, effort and political currency to breathe life into a peace process that holds out the best hope for Israel's longterm security. No American president can or should attempt to dictate to our staunch ally Israel the terms of peace. Only Israel can determine that, a principal that Obama also reaffirmed. Israel needs a partner in the peace process. To be certain, if during the two years I served in the Obama White House, the Palestinians had spent as much time working for peace as they did avoiding the table, the process would be much farther along. As an American and a Jew, however, I am grateful that this president has not given up trying to find a path that would bring the parties back to the negotiating table. I applaud his continued effort to work on and invest himself in this increasingly vexing and dangerous conflict. All who care about a safe and secure Jewish state of Israel should as well.

FULL TRANSCRIPT: WALTER JACOBSON: mayor emanuel in his new school ceo took a knife to the chicago public schools budget today while at the same time taking a shot at the state of illinois for making a financial crisis worse they say that it already is. j. levine spent the day trying to get to the bottom of the battle of the budget and found JAY LEVINE: for the second day in a row, a local politician is pointing fingers at the states for not paying its bills. adding to already huge deficits. MAYOR EMANUEL: part of the deficit is the fact that the state owes the city and the school system around $300 million. LEVINE: emanuel are now $75 million in budget cuts ranging from central office layoffs to a reduction in custodial services, anything the mayor said to avoid taking money from a classroom. the state's bill payer judy baar topinka would like to give a thumbs up to but she revealed today that she is sitting on $4 billion in unpaid bills. you have any idea when you'll be able to read that $300 million check? TOPINKA: i'm going to try within the course of six months if i can. because the mayor and governor clinton in an animated conversation at land park today. ask governor admits they're talking about money for education in which he says is there now. QUINN: i have a plan to do that. we have the revenue to cover that. it's called restructuring. TOPINKA: restructure is another word for borrow. and borrowing is just the easy way out. and it basically cannot go on because it just gets us deeper into debt. LEVINE: that is why lawmakers in springfield rejected the governor's restructuring plan and even the first grader the mayor visited at south loop elementary would understand why the cps bill remains unpaid. TOPINKA: i'd love rahm have is 300 million i think that is wonderful that the governor wants its but i don't have it. LEVINE: topinka's office says the chicago schools did get 100 million this past month alone but says the timing of the rest of the money will depend on several flat factors including the economy. all this doesn't take away from the fact that there were cut $75 million to the budget and still have $720 million left to balance this budget. about fioretti and where he is located 40 schools in this district he says there's a lot of bloat up at school budget.

CBS2 at 6pm: United Airlines bringing jobs to Chicago * SUMMARY: * Mayor Emanuel soundbite: "i will keep the competitive edge to make sure that chicago state's no. 1." * Jack Sander, retired chairman of CME, soundbite on Mayor Emanuel: "he is motivated to say "what can i do to help your business grow" and "what are the things that are competing in what can i do to nurture it?" we have had that conversation, and he hits the ground running and he will get it done." * Jeff Smisek soundbite: "these additional jobs are because i have faith in mayor rahm emanuel and in the city." WALTER JACOBSON: i am walter jacobson with another dose of good news for chicagos economy. united airlines bringing into town 1300 jobs, moving them here from all over the country, for the airline's new headquarters. BILL KURTIS: they promise 1000 new jobs two months ago and chief correspondent jay levine is here, let me ask a question. as the mayor and in the difference in both questions? JAY LEVINE: it appears so, he has been swimming upstream against companies trying to leave illinois. campaigning for their confidence in hoping that they will stay with their jobs. JEFF SMISEK: certainly with the mayor and the city administration, we think the future is a bright one and we believe the state will follow, because the state needs to follow. LEVINE: that is a shot from the ceo of united at gov. quinn who last year helped push a 47 percent income tax hike on business. quinn had to commit $230 million just to placate firms like caterpillar and motorola threatening to leave. but efforts are paying off but the united chairman said nothing about the governor. SMISEK: these additional jobs are because i have faith in mayor rahm emanuel and in the city. LEVINE: do you see a disconnect on the subject of business between the mayor and the governor? JACK SANDER: yes i do. LEVINE: he is the retired chairman of the chicago mercantile exchange, called by mayor rahm emanuel after reports that cme might consider leaving chicago because of business taxes. MAYOR EMANUEL: i know their frustration. LEVINE: that would not talk about the composition but it is clear that he found a sympathetic ear. SANDER: he is motivated to say "what can i do to help your business grow" and "what are the things that are competing in what can i do to nurture it?" we have had that conversation, and he hits the ground running and he will get it done. LEVINE: do you mean keeping you in chicago? SANDER: absolutely. EMANUEL: i will keep the competitive edge to make sure that chicago state's no. 1. LEVINE: that hated chicago head tax, $19 million per year in the city's coffers during the campaign, rahm emanuel promised he would ended and today he said next year's budget will be the first to reduce that tax $1 at a time and he will get rid of all of it in four years. another way of making a perception of inhospitality. JACOBSON: the buzz around the hall is, why didn't mayor daley do this? what is mayor rahm emanuel's magic?

"These officers are going to be the backbone of our police department, working on the beat," Emanuel told several reporters and roughly 50 parkgoers huddled at the Illinois Centennial Monument in Logan Square. "Now remember, we have to have a comprehensive strategy: More police on the street and getting kids, guns and drugs off our street." Emanuel noted the announcement today of the additional officers -- from administrative and clerical capacities -- comes less than a month after the mayor told reporters at a South Side police station that 400 officers would be redeployed to beat cop duties while another 100 work in various parts of the city to respond to flare-ups in crime. Those 500 officers were redeployed primarily from two specialized units: the Mobile Strike Force and Targeted Response Unit. Those redeployed to beat duties were given 90-day assignments to the most dangerous districts on the South and West Sides: the Grand Crossing, South Chicago,Calumet, Gresham, Englewood, Chicago Lawn, Harrison and Austin police districts. Emanuel today said that the 150 officers will be assigned to beat patrols across the city. The districts receiving those officers are the Wentworth, Deering, Ogden, Monroe, Wood, Shakespeare, Albany Park, Near North, Belmont, Lincoln, Prairie, Morgan Park, Town Hall, Rogers Park and Grand Central districts.​ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

We are announcing the sale of the CBOT building on Jackson. This has no bearing on the recent talks over taxes. We have been preparing this for sometime now. We have never been in the real estate business and we think it makes sense for us to exit the ownership of this building. My board approved the sale last week. We will be entering into long term lease backs with the new owner for our floor trading business. I still need to spend sometime with you at your convince on the tax issue. We are getting unfairly taxed at the highest rate of any company in this state. I will continue to explore what is in the shareholders best interest, I have no choice. This is a serious issue, our tax liability went up 50 million with the increase the state voted in last January. Our data center was a big investment but I assure you we get that back in a few years with the 50 million per year savings. We have many issues and we have always been a good citizen in Chicago, Illinois and the Country. We need your help on a host of things so we can remain relevant. We want no hand outs we just want to be treated fairly. I believe you are a great leader and what Chicago needs at a very important time in it's history. I look forward to working with you to do our part in continuing to build and maintain Chicago as a world class city. You are more than welcome to call me at home, office or cell to discuss if you have any questions on our press release.

We visited the first market of the 2009 season to talk to farmers, shoppers, and activists about their experiences. In the northeast corner of 101st Street and Princeton Avenue, a peeling sign lists activities forbidden by the 100th South Princeton Block Club: loitering, drug dealing, loud music. When Edith Howard moved from the projects to this block of brick bungalows in 1964, the neighborhood—Roseland—seemed a promising place to give her growing family a better life. But the Roseland of today is much changed: The block club hasn’t been active for years, and drug and gang activity is common. What’s more, Roseland lacks many of the basic resources that stabilize a neighborhood, including a good place to buy food. For groceries, Howard, 78, relies on her daughter to drive her the two and a half miles up to Chatham or down to the border of Morgan Park. “I used to shop in Roseland, but I never go over there now,” Howard says of the string of sneaker shops and discount clothing stores on Michigan Avenue. “There’s nothing to go there for. Everywhere I used to shop has moved away.” Howard is one of the 609,034 Chicagoans who live in what’s known as a food desert, a concentrated area short on access to fresh meat and produce, but flush with the packaged and fried yield of convenience stores and fast-food outlets. Mari Gallagher, of Mari Gallagher Research & Consulting Group and the National Center for Public Research, popularized the term in 2006, when she released a report on the phenomenon for LaSalle Bank. In the three years since, much has changed in the desert: The number of Chicagoans living within its boundaries has decreased, albeit slightly; at least one retailer is finding opportunity for growth in the affected areas; the green movement is taking hold, with farmers’ markets and backyard gardens blooming; and leaders are recognizing that community education—on eating healthfully, on creating a demand for grocery stores—is critical. And yet, the desert remains. *** What qualifies as a food desert? A cluster of blocks without a corner grocery doesn’t by itself warrant the label; an entire neighborhood, or a cluster of neighborhoods, without a mainstream grocery store—such as a Jewel, a Treasure Island, or an Aldi—almost certainly does. Gallagher has identified three separate expanses within the city limits totaling 44 square miles where access to fresh and healthful food falls notably short: an elongated ring connecting the Near North Side with Lawndale and Austin; an upside-down Y stretching from the Near South Side to Ashburn and Greater Grand Crossing; and a meandering mass swallowing most of the Far South Side (see map at right). While portions of neighborhoods such as West Town fall within these boundaries, Chicago’s food desert lies entirely below Division Street, affecting a population that is overwhelmingly African American: about 478,000 blacks, compared with some 78,000 whites and 57,000 Latinos, according to Gallagher’s calculations. For her 2006 report, Gallagher measured the distance from the geographic center of each of the city’s 18,888 inhabited blocks and found that not only do residents living in majority African American blocks travel the farthest on average to reach any type of grocery store—0.59 miles as opposed to 0.39 miles for majority-white blocks or 0.36 miles for Latinos—but they must travel twice as far to reach a grocery store as a fast-food restaurant. What does it mean for a community to lack access to adequate fresh food? Several things—and none of them good. Day to day, residents must leave their neighborhoods for basics such as raw meat and fresh vegetables. Edith Howard, whose daughter drives her to the store, is better off than many. An estimated 64,000 households in food deserts don’t have cars, so a weekly shopping trip can require cobbling together a multibus route. If the hassle of schlepping grocery bags on the CTA sounds tiring—especially given that 109,000 food desert residents are single mothers—that’s because it is. Many simply opt out, ducking into a fast-food outlet or a convenience store instead, where the inventory often runs more toward potato chips and liquor than spinach and oranges, and where a banana that would cost 29 cents at Dominick’s goes for around 70 cents, if it’s even available. “Diet has a direct link to obesity, diabetes, and other diseases, and you can’t choose a healthy diet if you don’t have access to it,” Gallagher says. “Many in the food desert who suffer are children who already have diabetes but who have yet to be diagnosed and treated.” Although other factors such as poor health care and stress are likely contributors, Gallagher found that, among those living in neighborhoods with the worst access to fresh food, ten out of every 1,000 people die from cancer, as opposed to fewer than seven per 1,000 in neighborhoods with the best food availability. The comparison is even bleaker when it comes to deaths from cardiovascular disease: 11 per 1,000 in the hardest-hit neighborhoods, compared with fewer than six per 1,000 among the best off. And because nearly one-third of Chicago’s food-desert residents are children, these latent repercussions have years to germinate. Gallagher has found one small reason for hope: The desert has shrunk. When she first canvassed the city in 2006, she counted 632,974 Chicagoans living within the boundaries she established. Last fall she revisited the data, recalculating food access for each city block, taking into account every grocery store opening and closing since 2006. The result? A modest but encouraging 23,940 fewer Chicagoans living in the desert. The decline doesn’t necessarily signal a trend, however. Much like a literal desert, a food desert is an ever-shifting organism, constantly claiming a few blocks here as it cedes a few blocks there. A Food-4-Less that opened in September 2006 in West Englewood positively impacted some 307 city blocks—or 40,712 residents, 13,626 of them children—but the closing of a Dominick’s and a Cub Foods in neighboring Chatham adversely affected 16,032 residents, worsening food access for 142 city blocks. (Wal-Mart has eyed Chatham as a potential area for development, but as long as the city vetoes the nonunion megastore’s expansion beyond its one Chicago site, additional locations remain off the table.) In total, between summer 2006 and fall 2008, the boundaries of the city’s food desert withdrew in certain areas, leaving 52,836 residents with improved food access, but elsewhere grew to encompass another 28,896 Chicagoans who previously were not classified as living within the desert. “The food desert is not one single problem with one single solution,” Gallagher says, but one clear strategy, developing new stores, could have broad impact on Chicago’s food access. That’s why the Chicago Grocer Expo project—a group including Gallagher and city representatives—identified six priority sites, many city-owned and vacant, on the South and West sides best suited for new-store development. Unfortunately, the group released its list in September 2008, just in time for the economy’s free fall. Molly Sullivan of the Chicago Department of Community Development says that while the city has held preliminary discussions with retailers regarding the targeted locations and has appointed its own task force to streamline the process for launching new stores, no lease has been signed on any of the six sites. *** Recession aside, opening new grocery stores is not as simple as identifying a promising site. “The food desert is only part of the story—these are business deserts,” says Dr. Terry Mason, commissioner of the Chicago Department of Public Health, who recalls three nearby grocery stores—now long departed—when he was growing up in Englewood. “These neighborhoods are blighted and unsafe. There’s a poor tax: Things in these neighborhoods cost more, and it’s more difficult for businesses to operate there.” Salim Al Nurridin, a Roseland resident for more than 30 years, acknowledges that insurance costs can be higher in a troubled neighborhood like his, and even locals can be wary of shopping in places they consider dangerous. “If we cannot get crime, or the appearance of crime, off [our streets], then we cannot convince folks that this is a safe place to shop,” he says. “In the greater Roseland area, we [spend] $90 million a year [on] groceries outside of the community. There’s no reason a grocery store can’t come into the greater Roseland area and make money.” Home to some 52,000 inhabitants, Roseland has been identified by Gallagher as the Chicago neighborhood where a supermarket could have the most significant impact. “Going on ten years now, I’ve been working aggressively to bring a store—a full-fledged national chain—to my community,” says Alderman Anthony Beale (Ninth Ward), whose district includes much of Roseland. “I’ve done everything so far as to mark land down to one dollar, and for some reason, the big chains are redlining the African American community. When you go into stores in the suburban areas, they’ll ask you for your ZIP Code, because they want to see where the money is coming from. If you analyze the data, you’ll see that [much of it] is coming from African American communities. So why not bring a store into a community that’s already providing your income?” When that question is put to Jewel—a chain that has an established presence on the city’s South Side—it elicits the following response: “We are committed to serving the needs of our customers,” Jewel’s communications manager Karen May writes in an e-mail. “However, it is not company policy to comment on current or future company operations.” At least one grocery chain has seen opportunity in underserved areas. The privately held Batavia-based discounter Aldi, which keeps its prices low by limiting the size of its no-frills stores as well as the scope of its generic-brand inventories, opened a store in Woodlawn in October, broke ground on another on the border of Englewood and Auburn Gresham in May, and is awaiting a permit for yet another store slated to open in Chatham in 2010. “It’s typical for us to see an influx of customers when there’s an economic downturn,” says Martha Swaney, an Aldi spokeswoman. In fact, the chain’s nationwide traffic increased from 15 million customers a month in 2008 to 18 million in 2009. “From a real-estate perspective, as some retailers are rolling back their expansions or even pulling out of existing properties, it increases the number of properties we have to choose from,” Swaney says, sounding a bit like a kid in a candy store. *** Some Chicagoans aren’t waiting for grocery stores to come to the rescue. The nonprofit God’s Gang, started in the 1970s by residents of Grand Boulevard, a neighborhood classified in part today as a food desert, provides training in urban agriculture to fellow citizens. Last year at least three underserved communities—Bronzeville, Englewood, and Woodlawn—launched farmers’ markets. All over the city, in a move reminiscent of the “victory gardens” of World War II, industrious citizens are putting spare land to use, planting strawberries and tomatoes in backyards and side lots. And in West Englewood, the nonprofit Growing Home hosts weekly farm-stand hours at its urban garden, giving people the chance to buy greens and tomatoes harvested on demand from the vine. For Growing Home’s Orrin Williams, a 2009 Chicago magazine Green Award recipient, the farm stand and farmers’ market are just the beginning. “[Food desert] is a good PR term, but it doesn’t begin to outline the issues involved,” he says; as long as change is needed, why not think broader—and greener? “Some people are loyal to the grocery store, and that’s fine. Other folks don’t like big-box stores; they like smaller venues. And they should have a place, too.” He sees greater Englewood as ripe for community-friendly, locally owned development, making the area south of 55th Street a destination for food- and green-related businesses. Possibilities range from mobile produce units (think ice cream trucks stocked with parsnips instead of popsicles) to veggie kiosks, or prestocked produce bins that could be installed daily in otherwise produce-poor convenience stores. Like Williams, Angela Odoms-Young, an instructor in UIC’s College of Applied Health Sciences who lives on the border between Chatham and Roseland, isn’t enamored of the term “food desert.” But, like Gallagher, she has studied food access for years, and her thoughts on the subject are as complicated as the issue itself. “When I first saw that term, I really paid attention,” she says. “But it didn’t affect me in the same way until I heard it used in relation to these communities that I really know and care about. As a researcher, if ‘food desert’ is something policymakers hear and want to do something about, I’m in support of it. But as a community member, it’s another negative thing about the place where I live.” There’s an undertone of victimization, she says, that can do more harm than good; focusing on what’s lacking won’t necessarily attract grocery stores to the South Side. “Nobody says Lincoln Park needs more cupcake places, and yet there’s a cupcake place on every corner,” Odoms-Young says. “It’s not the need that brings in the resources. There’s got to be that ‘and’: There’s a need and there’s an economic opportunity. “I wonder sometimes, What is the problem? Even in my own mind, as a highly educated, logically thinking person, I still cannot imagine [the resources that exist in Lincoln Park] on the South Side of Chicago. What will bring these places into low-income communities, and if they come, will they do well? I don’t know.” Meantime, everyone agrees on the necessity for more education—the sort of learning that would change eating and cooking habits and encourage residents to shop at the grocery stores when, or if, they open. “What we need, we have to support,” says A. Edward Davis Jr., pastor of Roseland’s St. John Missionary Baptist Church, who gathered with fellow community members in late March to discuss the neighborhood’s lack of fresh food. “Once we get the stores back, we’ve still got to understand that we’re losing people in these communities, and African Americans in particular, because we’re not eating enough fruits and vegetables, and we’re not cooking,” says the public health department’s Mason. Robert L. House Sr., pastor of Roseland’s New Life Baptist Church, agrees: “If you don’t know how to wisely shop and wisely eat, you’re still going to be battling yourself, no matter what grocery store is in town.” *** Several weeks after the community meeting in Roseland, word filtered down that Aldi was considering a site in the neighborhood—one of the six identified by the Chicago Grocer Expo project—at 115th Street and Michigan Avenue. This summer, the city will almost certainly approve the sale of the property to a developer, a significant step in the laborious process of opening a new store. It’s not the Jewel or Dominick’s some residents might have had their eye on, but, as Roseland’s Salim Al Nurridin points out, “in these hard times, the affluent community is [shopping] at the Aldi.” Today the lot is a vacant swath of broken concrete dotted with dandelions, but planners envision a $17.6 million LEED-certified shopping plaza anchored by the Aldi; the developer is even in talks to accommodate an adjoining el station if the CTA’s prospective Red Line expansion moves forward. The project would bring not only fresh food to the neighborhood, but also 250 permanent jobs. “I’m definitely excited,” Alderman Beale says. “It’s been hard getting to this point, but we’re almost there. I’m also working on another grocery chain for a 270-acre-plus site on the Bishop Ford Freeway. In another two years, we’ll have two quality grocery stores in the community, maybe three.” Three grocery stores in Roseland, a neighborhood that has gone without for years? As Odoms-Young says, the possibility is difficult to imagine: a real oasis—not just another mirage—in the food desert. ILLUSTRATION BY TONWEN JONES/COLAGENE.COM SPECIAL REPORT Stimulating Supermarket Development in Illinois HEALTHIER PEOPLE, HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES, & A HEALTHIER ECONOMY food for every child ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: This report by The Food Trust was prepared by Caroline Harries, Ellen Holtzman, and Brian Lang with assistance from Duane Perry; it was released in July 2009. Members of the Illinois Food Marketing Task Force and officials from the City of Chicago and State of Illinois provided valuable input. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Kraft Foods provided support to The Food Trust for this project. OFFICE OF THE GOV VERNOR SPRINGFIEELD, ILLINOIS 62706 Pat Quinn GOVERNOR R Illinois Food Marketing Task Force: I want to applaud the Illinois Food Marketing Task Force and all of its members for their hard work over the past year trying to ensure people across the state have access to fresh, nutritious food. Unfortunately, for many communities in Illinois, that just isn’t the case. At least 500,000 Illinoisans live in areas with no or distant access to mainstream grocery stores with fresh produce. In rural areas, long distances to supermarkets can further impede the availability of healthy food retail, especially in lower-income areas that lack public transportation and where many residents do not have cars. This has created a healthcare crisis. Childhood obesity and diet-related disease are public health epidemics in Illinois. In a recent Illinois survey, almost 40 percent of 8-year-olds surveyed were already overweight. Studies have also found that when communities don’t have grocery stores, residents are more likely to die sooner and at greater rates from diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, as well as suffer from obesity and hypertension. Last year, Illinois’ healthcare costs associated with obesity and diet-related disease exceeded $3.4 billion. When grocery stores locate outside of areas in need, people must travel great distances to buy fresh produce. Communities that need them the most lose out on the valuable jobs and the other investment a grocery store makes in a neighborhood. The public and the private sector need to continue working together to both save lives and put more people to work. Bringing more grocery stores that sell fresh, healthy food to those communities that desperately need them will help us accomplish both of these critical goals. I look forward to continuing this collaboration with the task force, the Illinois General Assembly, and others because having access to fresh food is something everyone is entitled to. Sincerely, Governor Pat Quinn 1 Deborah Harrington, President, Woods Fund of Chicago Mark Anderson, President, Supervalu Midwest/Southeast Region – Co-Chairs Dear Colleague, As co-chairs of the Illinois Food Marketing Task Force, we are pleased to present this report containing the recommendations of task force members on how city and state officials can increase the availability of nutritious, affordable food in communities throughout Illinois. The task force convened nearly 60 experts from the private, public, civic, and nonprofit sectors with expertise in building and operating supermarkets, planning and financing the development of supermarkets, and working with communities and families who deserve better access to food. Over the past year, these experts met and developed 10 policy recommendations that the city and state could implement to stimulate more supermarket development in Illinois. These recommendations require changes, but we believe they are realistic, pragmatic, and built on the work that city and state officials have begun. The City of Chicago is working closely with supermarkets interested in developing urban stores to identify suitable sites and to streamline requirements to facilitate the timely opening of stores across the city. Every community deserves to have convenient access to fresh, affordable, and nutritious food. Taking advantage of this opportunity to overcome the barriers that impede supermarket development in underserved areas throughout the state of Illinois will strengthen public health, drive business investment, create new jobs, and contribute to the vitality of Illinois’ communities. Implementing the recommendations outlined in this report will require committed, broad-based leadership to market and attract new supermarkets to Illinois. We deeply appreciate the hard work and commitment of Illinois Food Marketing Task Force members as well as the support of the State of Illinois and the City of Chicago. Together we can work to ensure that there is fresh and nutritious food for every Illinois family.

With strong leadership and dedicated resources from Illinois and Chicago, new supermarkets and quality food stores can improve people’s health, create jobs, and contribute to community revitalization. The Food Trust, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization, issued a special report entitled "The Need for More Supermarkets in Chicago" as part of an initiative to provide food for every child. The research study concluded the following: ■ Chicago has too few supermarkets in low-income areas of the city. ■ Low-income Chicago citizens suffer from diet-related diseases at rates significantly higher than the general population. ■ Access to fresh, affordable, nutritious food must be improved if the health and well-being of Chicago citizens is to improve. Starting in 2007, the Illinois Food Retailers Association, the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, Voices for Illinois Children, and The Food Trust, with funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Kraft Foods, and LaSalle Bank (now Bank of America), began a concerted effort to convene the Illinois Food Marketing Task Force to educate the public, policy makers, and business leaders about the need for more supermarkets and to develop public policy recommendations intended to reverse the documented diet and health problems. The task force, co-chaired by Deborah Harrington of the Woods Fund of Chicago and Mark Anderson of SuperValu, met to craft a plan for supermarket and grocery store development in Illinois. The work of this group builds on the excellent work undertaken in the past several years by a variety of government, private, and civic leaders in the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois. With the advice and consultation of task force members, 10 recommendations are presented for action to the State of Illinois and local governments throughout the state. Illinois Food Marketing Task Force members and The Food Trust directors and staff will continue to advocate for better access to nutritious, affordable food for families, nutrition education in schools, and programs that deliver wholesome food for every child through the implementation of these recommendations and other activities. 4 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS To protect the health of children and families by ensuring access to affordable, nutritious food, state and local government should ensure a healthy balance of food retail as a priority for the comprehensive development of communities. Critical steps toward achieving that goal include: Recommendation #1: State and local government should explicitly adopt food retail as a priority for the comprehensive development of communities. Recommendation #2: State and local government should create new and modify existing economic development programs and target them to the supermarket and grocery industry. Recommendation #3: The State of Illinois should commit $10 million in its capital budget to initiate a business financing program that provides grants and loans to local supermarket and grocery store development projects in underserved communities. Such a program should receive continued financial support over two to three years. Recommendation #4: State and local government should reduce unnecessary regulatory barriers to supermarket and grocery store investment. Recommendation #5: Local governments should give priority to assembling land for supermarket and grocery store development. Recommendation #6: State and local government should encourage the use of innovative market assessment techniques to highlight unmet demand and buying power in communities. Recommendation #7: State and local government and regional organizations, in partnership with groups such as local workforce investment boards and community colleges, should target new and expand existing training programs to ensure there is a quality workforce for supermarket and grocery store retailing. Recommendation #8: State and local government should partner with commercial and retail security, policing, and community efforts to help ensure a safe and secure environment for both customers and store personnel. Recommendation #9: The State of Illinois should continue its efforts to develop a new distribution schedule for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that disburses benefits more evenly throughout the month. Recommendation #10: State and local government should convene an advisory group of leaders including the supermarket industry, real estate developers, the financial sector, public health officials, child advocates, and others to guide the implementation of these recommendations. 5 RECOMMENDATIONS 1 State and local government should explicitly adopt food retail as a priority for the comprehensive development of communities. Illinois’ neighborhoods would benefit from a strategic plan focused on stimulating new investments and improvements in the food retail sector. A strong statewide and citywide food retail initiative would identify strategies to expand and improve access to affordable and nutritious food in Illinois’ neighborhoods. The initiative could include the following services: ■ Centralized project management and government support for food retail projects. ■ A single point of access for information about neighborhood retail development opportunities. ■ Customized market information about specific development opportunities. ■ A strategic plan to coordinate retail initiatives with neighborhood needs. Example: New York City and State have explicitly adopted food retailing as a priority in community development. On May 16, 2009, New York Governor David A. Paterson announced the Healthy Food/Healthy Communities Initiative which will adopt “comprehensive strategies to expand and encourage the growth of new grocery stores in underserved neighborhoods.” To ensure that the goals for this program are met, a state fund of $10 million has been established. The governor also announced additional initiatives which make food retail a vital part of community development, including incentives for All-Affordable housing proposals to include food markets as part of the retail component, a permanent farmers’ market grant program, and financial incentives for food retailers to be green and energy efficient. Further demonstrating a genuine commitment to community development through supermarket development and retention, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn recently announced the Food Retail Expansion to Support Health (FRESH) program. This new initiative will provide zoning and financial incentives to property owners, developers, and grocery store operators in areas of the city currently underserved by grocery stores. “There are not enough healthy food options in many urban and rural communities throughout New York State. The lack of affordable, nutritious food is negatively impacting the revitalization of many communities and the health of New Yorkers,” said Governor Paterson. “The Healthy Food/Healthy Communities program combined with New York City’s FRESH program provides incentives to locate energy-efficient food markets in underserved communities and connect food markets with New York’s agriculture products.” 6 2 State and local government should create new and modify existing economic development programs and target them to the supermarket and grocery industry. The food retail industry needs public support to overcome the costs of urban development, which are on average 30 percent higher than in the suburbs. Existing economic development financing programs are often not available to, or not marketed to, food retailers. Supermarkets and food retailers have not traditionally been viewed as drivers of economic growth. Retailers have often been specifically excluded from economic development programs. Food access is too important to be left solely to market forces. Public financing and tax credit programs should be reconfigured so that they can be made available for supermarket investments. These investments should include new stores and existing stores looking to expand their offerings. Example: Cities across the country have successfully utilized economic development subsidies to bring supermarkets into select areas. Examples include a Shaw’s in New Haven, an Albertsons in San Diego, a ShopRite in Philadelphia, the East Harlem Pathmark in New York City, and multiple chains in Washington, D.C. Anchored by a 56,000-square-foot Shaw’s supermarket, the Dwight Place development in New Haven, CT, brought a much-needed supermarket to the heart of the city. The project was made possible with funding from a variety of public and private sources including the Office of Community Services-U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; $3 million in financing from Local Initiatives Support Corporation’s The Retail Initiative (TRI); and a $1 million grant from the State of Connecticut. The project also received additional assistance from the City of New Haven and Yale University. With this development, Shaw’s became the first major supermarket to locate within the City of New Haven in decades, improving fresh food access for the city’s residents and creating over 200 jobs. Tax exemptions can encourage developers to include supermarkets over other competing retail uses. In Washington, DC, the Department of Planning and Economic Development approved the Supermarket Tax Exemption Act in 2000. This act is part of a citywide supermarket attraction and retention effort which has resulted in several new store openings and expansions in targeted areas throughout the city. New stores include Giant, Safeway, and Harris Teeter supermarkets. In addition to benefiting from the tax exemption, the new developments received additional incentives from the city, including Community Development Block Grant funding. While these successes speak to the potential for public incentives to influence supermarket development and help close the financing gap, a comprehensive program is needed to stimulate supermarket development in neighborhoods throughout Illinois. 7 3 The State of Illinois should commit $10 million in its capital budget to initiate a business financing program that provides grants and loans to local supermarket and grocery store development projects in underserved communities. Such a program should receive continued financial support over two to three years. The State of Illinois should dedicate funds to stimulate the development, renovation, and expansion of supermarkets in underserved communities, in the form of grants and loans to fund soft costs, including feasibility and marketing studies, as well as to offset development and construction costs. Example: In 2004, the Pennsylvania legislature enacted a nationally significant economic stimulus package (SB 1026) containing provisions supporting the development of supermarkets in underserved communities throughout Pennsylvania. Promoted by Governor Edward G. Rendell and an alliance of food and farming interests, this legislation positions Pennsylvania as a national leader in developing supermarkets in underserved communities and promoting the sale of Pennsylvania farm products at farmers' markets. The state appropriated $30 million over three years to create the Fresh Food Financing Initiative (FFFI). State funding was leveraged by The Reinvestment Fund, a Community Development Financial Institution, to create a flexible financing pool that provides grants and loans to supermarkets investing in underserved communities. FFFI is an innovative program designed to meet the financing needs of supermarket operators that want to operate in these communities, where infrastructure costs and credit needs are often higher and unmet by conventional financial institutions. The initiative helps new supermarkets get off the ground and existing ones to refurbish and replace old capital to improve efficiency and lower costs. FFFI provides grants and loans to qualified food retail enterprises for predevelopment costs including, but not limited to, land acquisition financing, equipment financing, capital grants for project funding gaps, construction and permanent financing, and workforce development. To be eligible, stores must be located in low- to moderate-income areas that are currently underserved and must also provide a full selection of fresh foods. In just four years, the Fresh Food Financing Initiative has funded over 65 projects across Pennsylvania, resulting in the creation or retention of approximately 3,700 jobs and 1.4 million square feet of food retail space. These projects have included regional chains and stores of up to 69,000 square feet, as well as smaller local, independently operated stores. The initiative was named one of the Top 15 Innovations in American Government for 2008 by Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. One of the first projects financed by the FFFI was the ShopRite of Island Avenue, a 57,000-square-foot supermarket located in the Eastwick section of Philadelphia. The supermarket received a $5 million loan for construction and renovation of the store and $250,000 in grant funding to help with workforce development training costs. The supermarket has created 258 quality jobs in the community, most of which provide attractive employee benefits. 8 4 State and local government should reduce unnecessary regulatory barriers to supermarket and grocery store investment. State and local government approval processes can add several years and substantial cost to a supermarket project in an underserved area. Government can show preference to development it wants to encourage by expediting approval processes, thereby reducing project costs. Creating a single point of access for interacting with government would help supermarket operators navigate the complex process of developing a supermarket in underserved communities. Codes should be reviewed with consideration given to shortening the length of time it takes to develop a supermarket. Example: Local governments can expedite the permit approval process for development they want to encourage. The Chicago Department of Buildings (DOB) has developed an expedited permit process for projects that incorporate innovative green building strategies, and similar strategies could be used for supermarket and grocery store development in underserved communities. The DOB Green Permit Program provides developers and owners with an incentive to build green by streamlining the permit process timeline for their projects. Projects accepted into the Green Permit Program can receive permits in fewer than 30 business days or as little as 15 business days, a significant improvement over standard processing times. The number of green building elements included in the project plans and project complexity determines the length of the timeline. Including more green building elements results in a reduced timeline to obtain a permit. Applicants that demonstrate an extraordinary level of green strategy implementation may have their consultant code review fees waived. Similar strategies could be employed to encourage real estate developments that plan for a supermarket. 9 5 Local governments should give priority to assembling land for supermarket and grocery store development. It can be difficult to identify and assemble adequate sites to accommodate supermarkets in the areas where they are needed most. Illinois should give priority to acquiring, assembling, and conveying land for new supermarket development. In addition, local governments should offer density bonuses or other preferences in their zoning codes for projects that include a supermarket. Example: St. Petersburg, FL, assisted in assembling 32 parcels of land to develop the Tangerine Plaza shopping center in an economically distressed area. This 47,000-square-foot neighborhood shopping center is anchored by Sweetbay Supermarket, the first full-service grocery store and pharmacy in the neighborhood. The city bought the land, cleared the liens and other encumbrances against the properties, and rezoned the site for neighborhood commercial development. Once the land was ready for construction, the city leased the property to the developer for 99 years for an annual payment of $5. Since opening its doors, the Sweetbay Supermarket in Midtown has set sales records for the Florida-based company. In addition, the property tax revenue for the city increased from $6,000 to over $110,000 per year. 10 6 State and local government should encourage the use of innovative market assessment techniques to highlight unmet demand and buying power in communities. Accurate information about the underlying market potential of city neighborhoods is crucial to attracting new food retail investment. Chicago and cities throughout Illinois should follow the lead of other major cities by funding and disseminating an innovative retail analysis of its neighborhoods. In the last 10 years, a new consensus has emerged that urban retailers have underestimated the potential of emerging markets in inner-city areas. New data-driven market analysis techniques have shown that many national market analysis consulting firms undercount city residents, make generalizations, and do not include local data in trend analysis. These models often miss many positive developments in today’s dynamic, diverse metropolitan economy. Using new, more accurate data sources, metrics, and modeling techniques can reveal the unmet demand for food retail in urban areas. Example: The City of Milwaukee’s Department of City Development has successfully used independent data analysis to attract new supermarket chains to the city. Milwaukee utilized a state-of-the-art methodology relating detailed income tax filing data and other current information on residents’ spending patterns to describe the income concentration and spending power around commercial districts. The city mapped the purchasing power and economic assets of all commercial districts in the city. The purchasing power profile reports were then posted on the City of Milwaukee's website. Milwaukee’s data showed that some of the strongest retail markets in the city have been ignored in part due to marketing stereotypes promulgated by commercial marketing firms, misconceptions about income status, and persistent "urban legends" about the absence of workers in inner-city neighborhoods. The City of Baltimore is using similar techniques to document its unmet demand for food. Recent research compiled by Social Compact, a coalition of business leaders from across the country who are promoting successful business investment in lower-income communities for the benefit of Chicago current residents, indicated that an estimated Supermarket Sales Relative to Total Population $217 million in grocery leakage could support an additional 633,000 square feet less than city average 1 - 2 times city average of grocery retail space in Baltimore. The 2 - 4 times city average more than 4 times city average analysis uses information similar to that used non-residential by the City of Milwaukee, including local tax 0 1 2 4 6 assessments, building permits, consumer Miles credit bureaus, and utility bill payment data. Data: TradeDimensions Retail Database, 2006; US Census, 2000 11 7 State and local government and regional organizations, in partnership with groups such as local workforce investment boards and community colleges, should target new and expand existing training programs to ensure there is a quality workforce for supermarket and grocery store retailing. The supermarket industry cites the lack of an available workforce as a barrier to supermarket and grocery store development. Often it is difficult to find candidates who have had suitable job training. Industry leaders are cognizant of the value of their labor force and the need to educate that workforce to address issues of shrinkage, best practices, effective customer service techniques, and employees’ rights and obligations. New and existing programs should ensure that a quality workforce is available for grocery store retailing once a store opens in a community. Programs should be coordinated and targeted for grocery retail. Example: For Ben Fligner, the answer to how to train employees for his downtown Lorain, OH, grocery store came in the form of a $1,300 matching grant from Project TEN (Train Employees Now). Unveiled in 2007, Project TEN is the result of an effort by Lorain County to leverage workforce development monies distributed by the State of Ohio. The matching grant made it possible for Fligner to send five employees to an Ohio Department of Agriculture training program which certified the workers in meat handling. This provided the needed workforce training to complement Fligner’s recent expansion from a 12,000-square-foot operation to a 32,000-square-foot one that included a new full-service meat counter. The grocery store was also able to establish a wholesale meat business and a catering department. The supermarket, which used to employ 32 workers, is now able to support a staff of 90. In Philadelphia’s Eastwick community, residents were devastated when the area’s only grocery store decided to close. Left with no convenient access to fresh food in the area, many residents had to catch rides with family and friends or take multiple buses to shop at stores in neighboring suburbs. Fortunately, things greatly improved when grant and loan assistance from the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative helped to offset higher construction and workforce development costs in the neighborhood, allowing the Brown’s ShopRite of Island Avenue to open its doors. As a result, the 57,000-square-foot supermarket has brought 258 quality, union jobs to the area. Most of the employees are residents of the surrounding community, which is predominantly African-American and West African. Many of these employees are returning to the workforce from welfare or are new entrants into the workforce. Through funding from the initiative, a local workforce development agency has developed a customized training program for the Island Avenue ShopRite and five of Brown’s other stores. This program improves employee retention and helps employees advance in their careers – setting employees on the path for long-term success within the grocery industry. 12 8 State and local government should partner with commercial and retail security, policing, and community efforts to help ensure a safe and secure environment for both customers and store personnel. A 2007 report by Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Bay Area and PolicyLink found that for retailers, “neighborhood crime decreases their ability to attract workers and increases operating costs in the form of additional security and increased shrinkage, or loss of inventory. It is often a perception of crime and/or history of crime, as opposed to current actual crime, that hinders development in underserved markets.” Grocery store retailers and consumers desire a safe, clean environment to locate and shop. Neighborhood blight, poorly lit streets, and areas of known criminal behavior can contribute to the continuing decline of a neighborhood as well as deter the opening of a much-needed supermarket. Community groups and community revitalization programs can partner to ensure a safe environment. Making significant changes to the physical safety of an area coupled with publicizing the changes made can go a long way toward changing perceptions. Example: For the past seven years MetLife Foundation and LISC, the nation's leading nonprofit dedicated to community development support, have partnered to recognize and award innovative partnerships between community organizations and local police enforcement. The honored initiatives promote neighborhood safety and crime reduction as well as economic development outcomes such as real estate development, business attraction, and job growth. "Partnerships between community groups and police are vital to reducing crime and increasing housing, economic activity, and opportunities for residents" said Sibyl Jacobson, president of MetLife Foundation. Among the honorees is the Coalition for Responsible Community Development which partnered with the Los Angeles Police Department in Los Angeles, CA. This community development organization hires local youth and young adults to improve public safety and the appearance of local streets in South LA by abating 80,000 square feet of graffiti per week. The abatement crews follow a 30- to 50-mile daily route covering 12 square miles including commercial corridors with high crime rates and 55 known gangs. The graffiti served to deter individuals from feeling safe in this commercial district and provided reasons for businesses to disinvest. The community partnership served to tackle difficult economic and social problems resulting in an increased perception of safety in the neighborhood and the creation of a better retail business environment. As a result of this program, long-term partnerships between law enforcement agencies and community developers are formed to target persistent crime, disorder, and fear in troubled communities. According to LISC’s web site, "By the unconventional linking of innovative policing with economic development, police and developers aim to attract the kinds of social and financial investments that make communities safer and more vibrant." Similar types of linkages between police enforcement and commercial/retail partners can have the effect of providing safer communities surrounding grocery store development. 13 9 The State of Illinois should continue its efforts to develop a new distribution schedule for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that disburses benefits more evenly throughout the month. In Illinois, 70 percent of SNAP/food stamp recipients receive their benefits on the first day of the month; the remaining 30 percent of benefit issuances are staggered throughout the month. As a result, grocery stores experience a tremendous surge in business early in the month that produces myriad unintended consequences including long lines at checkout, overcrowding, and an inability of the state’s poorest consumers to conveniently access fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the month. Grocers have also had difficulty providing adequate hours for their employees over the course of the month because of the increased business at the beginning and the lull toward the end. These challenges make some retailers hesitant to operate in areas with a high percentage of customers who rely on food stamps. To reduce the strain on grocers and provide a more dignified shopping experience for food stamp recipients, the state should stagger food stamp issuances throughout the month, as it currently does with a small portion of issuances. Spreading out the distribution of shoppers will make fresh foods available throughout the month and ensure that grocery stores can properly serve consumers in areas of high food stamp volume. 14 10 State and local government should convene an advisory group of leaders including the supermarket industry, real estate developers, the financial sector, public health officials, child advocates, and others to guide the implementation of these recommendations. Lessons from other cities and states show that leadership from the supermarket industry, public officials, and the civic sector is crucial to the redevelopment of supermarkets in urban and rural areas. The complementary strengths of the public and private sectors should continue to guide the implementation of these recommendations. Example: Closing the financing gap faced by many supermarket developments will take visionary leadership from both the public and private sector. In San Francisco, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) was critical to fulfilling Mayor Gavin Newsom’s promise to bring a new full-service grocery store to Bayview-Hunters Point, a predominately lowincome neighborhood. Even after the mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) connected Fresh & Easy, a company of U.K.-based Tesco, with the developer of housing units in the neighborhood, financing for the deal fell short. Fortunately, LISC stepped in to provide New Markets Tax Credits to help close the gap in the project. The New Markets Tax Credit program, run by the U.S. Department of Treasury, is designed to stimulate investment and economic growth in low-income urban neighborhoods. Additional city support has helped to expedite the necessary zoning and traffic approvals, and the store is scheduled to open later in 2009, a flagship in broader efforts to support the revitalization of the neighborhood. Public leadership has also proved critical to the development of supermarkets in low-income neighborhoods. In Rochester, NY, the mayor ran his re-election campaign promising a new supermarket in a low-income neighborhood called Upper Falls. Despite several overtures from city planners, local retailers showed little interest in the neighborhood. Tops Markets, Inc., the region’s secondranked supermarket chain wanted to develop multiple stores in Rochester to counter a competitor’s expansion into its home base in Buffalo, NY. The city utilized the Federal Enterprise Community Zone program, the Community Development Block Grant program, the Urban Renewal Trust Fund, and the HUD 108 program to help Tops develop four stores and expand another. 15 SELECTED RESOURCES City and County of San Francisco.

BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITIES THROUGH HEALTHY FOOD The Food Trust, a nonprofit organization based in Philadelphia, was founded in 1992 in response to the critical need for stable, nutritious, and non-emergency food supplies in urban neighborhoods. Now in its second decade, the Trust is a national leader in the increasingly active dialogue concerning the diet-related health problems that are endemic in America’s lower-income communities. With partners at The Reinvestment Fund and the Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition, the Trust manages the Fresh Food Financing Initiative (FFFI), a public/private partnership that works to increase supermarkets and healthy corner stores in economically disadvantaged communities throughout Pennsylvania. To date, the FFFI has financed more than 65 food retail projects in low-income communities across Pennsylvania, which will create or retain more than 3,700 jobs and 1.4 million square feet of retail space. The initiative was named one of the Top 15 Government Innovations in American Government for 2008 by Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. The Trust works in Philadelphia-area schools and recreation centers, teaching and motivating youth in grades K-12 to adopt healthier lifestyles, including choosing more nutritious foods and getting regular physical activity. In addition, the Trust developed and implements the Kindergarten Initiative, an innovative school-based program that teaches young children about healthy eating by providing nutrition education and fresh fruit-and-vegetable snacks in the classroom as well as field trips to local farms. Trust educational programs are geared to children and families from economically disadvantaged communities in which culturally diverse, minority populations predominate. The Kindergarten Initiative was chosen as the model for a statewide initiative in Pennsylvania, which provides grants to schools across the state to start similar programs. As the Regional Lead Agency for the Mid-Atlantic Farm to School Network, The Food Trust promotes and provides technical assistance to farm-to-school projects in the Mid-Atlantic region (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, DC). The Trust also operates 30 regional farmers’ markets with community partners and advocates for public policies that promote good nutrition in schools and communities.

Tuesday saw him heralding Motorola for adding 400 jobs.Wednesday was Paddle-the-Teachers Day, with the new board of education killing a negotiated 4 percent pay hike, and unrelated word of big grocers’ moves to help eliminate “food deserts” in poor neighborhoods. Thursday he disclosed a presumably handy, searchable database on lobbyists doing city work.And then there were kudos to the Lookingglass Theatre Company, co-founded by David Schwimmer, for winning a regional Tony Award, a plan to double the municipally owned LEEDcertified buildings and more.City Hall’s new intensity was transparent Thursday as Mayor Daily, a k a the Missile, surfaced with a report card — actually two very large poster boards — on his initial 30 days. This trumped by 70 days the clichéd convention of 100-day assessments, a gambit traced either to the historic first 100 days of President Franklin D. Roosevelt or the Hundred Days of Napoleon, the period between his return from exile and the restoration of King Louis XVIII. Mr. Emanuel’s self-analysis listed 58 pledges and goals. While he conceded the obvious — that he deserves an “incomplete” after a mere month of service — a preternaturally cynical press corps should give him an A for animal-like ferocity. Some staff members may pray for his family’s speedy return from Washington to provide distraction. The 20 items checked off included hefty budget cuts and merging of administrative and operational functions. The unchecked ranged from a Web-based map of public spaces to the essential need to convene business leaders to develop strategies for job growth. Certain big matters were absent, like the costly anti-patronage litigation known as the Shakman case. Let’s hope that his new corporation counsel, who comes from a tony firm where he defended the tobacco industry, won’t find contorted rationales to continue that 42-year-old mess. The news conference underscored the job’s potency and why Mr. Emanuel relishes it. Where else does decision-making have such an impact on people’s lives? he asked. He could thus clearly tolerate a few television reporters’ apple-polishing queries: Any disappointments so far? What’s harder than you figured? Most of all, there were questions prompted by the mayor’s daring if predictable gambit — not paying the teachers a previously negotiated 4 percent hike in the coming year. Former Mayor Richard M. Daley improved the schools, even solidifying middle-class whites’ confidence in the system. He was not a tower of power in union negotiations because of an abject fear of a strike. He worried about both re-election repercussions and accelerating a middle-class flight to the suburbs. He was not alone. “Class Warfare,” a book on the school reform movement due in August from Steven Brill, details how Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York caved in to his city’s teachers union in 2007 precisely because of re-election worries. The Emanuel camp’s calculation is that various realities make a walkout unlikely. Those include deficits, the system’s sub-par image, the bargaining ramifications of a new state education law, and how a majority of teachers will get increases, distinct from the 4 percent now in jeopardy, based on years of service or added educational attainment. The news media aped an official line on those hikes, namely that they’re mostly between 3 and 5 percent. Actually, they average out to just over 2 percent. Still, it makes the union’s case in the recession-ravaged court of public opinion more challenging. That’s the consensus, too, of officials and lawyers for other city unions. The competence of the moribund union’s past leadership rivaled Italy’s, and the new union chief, Karen Lewis, must somehow galvanize members over an issue, perhaps preserving their pensions. As she contemplates making lemonade out of lemons, she could watch HBO’s new “Bobby Fischer Against the World,” a documentary on the tormented chess icon.In the first game of his epic 1972 match in Iceland against the Soviet Union’s Boris Spassky, Fischer, the greatest player ever, lost after making a move so amateurish it bordered on the irrational. A besieged Mrs. Lewis can at least hope the Missile — a disciplined, brilliant fellow when it comes to government’s workings — improbably misfires, too.​ From: Sent: To: emanuel.rahm Thursday, June 23, 2011 1:51 AM David Spielfogel Who approved these cps salary increases?

MTg with Karen Lewis is a waste of time. She arrived in a loud Hawaiian shirt and didn't raise the 4%issue. Franczak had to bring it up.

Subject: Suspicious Package Incident - Millennium Park - 9 July 11 SYNOPSIS OF SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE INCIDENT AT MILLENNIUM PARK Saturday, 9 July 2011 Offender in Custody: Emmett J. DeFrisco M/W DOB 19 Nov 1992 1665 N. Vine; Chicago, Il. CB #18184141 IR #2118299 Charge: 720ILCS5/26-1-A-1 Disorderly Conduct (State Disorderly Conduct- Misdemeanor) At approximately 1735 hours on Saturday, 9 July 2011, security personnel at Millennium Park, 205 E. Randolph, were notified by a citizen that a suspicious package had been observed underneath the “Bean” sculpture. 911 was called and 1 st District personnel responded to the scene. The package was approximately 8 inches square by 2 to 3 inches tall wrapped in camouflage duct tape secured with black rope. The area surrounding the "Bean" was evacuated, as was the Park Grill Restaurant, since the suspicious package was directly on top of the restaurant. X-ray diagnostics were inconclusive, showing two large objects that could not be identified and the package was opened remotely by use of a PAN Disruptor. Examination of the contents revealed that it contained two bricks wrapped in blue and red cloth. The open package was photographed and turned over to beat personnel and later inventoried. Footage from POD video cameras in the area will be requested in an attempted to identify who planted that package. While the Explosives Technicians were conducting their investigation, 1 st District Tactical officers were approached by the arrestee, Emmett DEFRISCO, who stated that he had been told to leave the area of the suspicious package, and that he may have left an item behind. When asked to describe the item DEFRISCO stated that the item consisted of wires, batteries, tubes, and electronic components. DEFRISCO was escorted to the staging area where he further described this item, why it had been in his possession, and stated that other devices of this description could possibly be found in the park. DEFRISCO stated that he came to Grant Park earlier in the day to attend the Soy-Con Science fiction convention. Attendees at the convention would dress up as their favorite Si-Fi character and "role play" for the day. The convention was disbanded, to due lack of permits, and DEFRISCO then went to Millennium Park along with a few friends. DEFRISCO stated that he dressed as a character from the Si-Fi show "Dr. Who," and his device was used by the character for simulated time travel. Having knowledge of this device and fearing that it could be mistaken as an explosive device a search was conducted, and a back pack containing the device was located and found to be in the possession of a friend of the Offender, Hannah HORWICK. That device was inventoried and photographed. A thorough search of the Millennium Park area was conducted by Chicago Police and Chicago Fire Department personnel. Also participating in the search were two Canine Explosives detector teams from the Public Transportation Section. That search was negative for any other suspicious and/or unusual items, and after the park was cleared, it was re-opened to the public at approximately 9:15 PM. The search was organized and supervised by Commander Kenneth Angarone of the 18th District (who was covering the 1st District while Commander Kennedy was on vacation) and Commander Eugene Roy of the Bomb & Arson Section. In addition to the area of Millennium Park that had already been secured, traffic on northbound Michigan Avenue was diverted while the investigation was underway. DEFRISCO was taken to the 1st District for processing and subsequently charged with Disorderly Conduct. Felony Review was contacted and advised that there were no Felony Charges that addressed the conduct of the Offender, and he was then charged with Disorderly Conduct and scheduled to appear in Court Branch 29-5 on 11 August 2011. He was issued an Individual Recognizance Bond and released from custody at 0348 hours on 10 July. DEFRISCO has no prior adult or juvenile arrests. During a custodial interview DEFRISCO stated that he is mildly Autistic and has an Attention Deficit Disorder for which he is prescribed Ritalin. At the time of the incident, DEFRISCO had been in the company of Hannah HORWICK F/W/18, James Whitlock M/W/17, and William Kennedy M/W/16. None of those three were arrested. Photos of the contents of the original suspicious item underneath the Bean, along with photos of the device that the offender was referring to are attached to this email. At the same time this incident was under investigation, there was a call of a “Suspicious Package” on a CTA Bus at 444 W. Jackson. Bomb Techs responded to that scene and learned from the bus driver that an unknown individual had left a cooler underneath his seat in the bus. Diagnostics revealed that the cooler was empty and did not contain anything of a threatening nature. At this time, there does not appear to be any connection to the Millennium Park incident.

About the Chicago Dancing Festival The Chicago Dancing Festival was founded in 2007 to heighten awareness of dance in Chicago, to increase accessibility to the art form and to provide aspiration for local artists. Its mission is to present a wide variety of excellent dance, enrich the lives of the people of Chicago and provide increased accessibility to the art form, thereby helping create a new audience. Its vision is to raise the national and international profile of dance in the city, furthering Chicago as a dance destination. Lar Lubovitch (Founder, Artistic Director) is one of America’s most versatile and highly acclaimed choreographers and founded the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company 40 years ago. In the years since, he has choreographed more than 100 dances for his New York-based company, which has performed in nearly all 50 American states as well as in more than 30 foreign countries. Born in Chicago, Lubovitch was educated at the University of Iowa and the Juilliard School in New York. Jay Franke (Founder, Artistic Director) first danced with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company in 2005. Jay began his formal training at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas. In 1993 he was selected as a Finalist for Presidential Scholar in the Arts and accepted into the Juilliard School. Upon receiving his B.F.A. in Dance from the Juilliard School, Franke went to work with the Twyla Tharp Dance Company, “THARP!” Franke has since danced with The 58 Group, Lyric Opera Ballet Chicago, and most recently Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.

Tom Alexander Assistant Press Secretary Office of Mayor Rahm Emanuel tom.alexander@cityofchicago.org 312.744.3366 (ofc) 312.498.2565 (cell) From: Cooper, Tarrah Sent: Friday, July 15, 2011 6:08 PM To: mayor_re@rahmemail.com Subject: Trib: Rahm to labor: Choose Rahm to labor: Choose Tribune Editorial Board This is common sense Do work rules trump workers? Chicago's municipal labor unions have to decide that right now. Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Friday that layoff notices will go out to as many as 625 city workers. Some layoffs will start immediately. Some layoffs require a notification period, so they'll take effect in about 30 days. The option for city labor leaders: Agree to substantial changes in work rules, and most of those jobs can be saved. The window to take that option is closing fast. The answer should be obvious. Emanuel has targeted a series of practices that serve to pad paychecks for no good reason. They unjustifiably raise the cost of city services. They rip off taxpayers. End those practices, and some jobs can be saved. He's asking employees to put in a 40-hour work week instead of 35 hours. He's asking some employees to take time-and-a-half pay for overtime instead of double time. He wants city workers to get nine paid holidays a year instead of the 12 they get now. A lot of Chicago taxpayers who work in the private sector — who put in more than 40 hours a week and don't see overtime and get six paid holidays a year — they're going to look at this showdown between the mayor and labor and say, whoa, it's about time! But it's not clear that labor leaders get that. They're whining about process and notification, and they say they haven't had time to assess and evaluate and … They may very well be willing to sit on their hands and let some of their workers get fired so other workers can keep enjoying the short hours and excessive overtime and frequent holidays. Yes, labor leaders may decide that work rules trump workers. Some of these changes make sense no matter how labor leaders counter. If there is substantial savings from hiring private contractors to clean the airports, then that has to happen. If it's true that the Water Department's call center leaves customers on hold for 20 minutes and 40 percent of the customers hang up in frustration, then the city needs to contract for a privately run call center. Labor leaders may think they need to jealously guard the long-term, sweetheart contracts they got from the Daley administration. Emanuel says that's not the case — he's looking for specific changes, he's not looking to fling the contracts wide open. More likely, the labor leaders realize this is just the opening bid. The city is trying to close a $30 million shortfall for this year. The budget gap for next year looks some 20 times larger. But if labor leaders keep hemming and hawing over relatively small changes for this year, how can they expect to have a voice in the much more significant debate over next year? Emanuel gave them two weeks to accept his work rules changes or propose their own. Two weeks came and went. No answer from labor. So he acted. Jorge Ramirez, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, said union leaders were "perplexed" by Emanuel's move on Friday. Some 34,000 Chicagoans work for city government. And some 2.7 million Chicagoans don't work for the city. But many of them do work, and they do pay taxes. And to them, what the mayor's doing is not perplexing at all. It's just common sense.

Waguespack hosted on Thursday. The union representative was given time to comment upon the numbers put forth by Westfield and CAP and was pushing, by the way, for the higher numbers in the CAP proposal. When asked why he was commenting upon the numbers and seemingly supporting CAP, he reverted to the argument that he was merely advocating for the highest number for our city. He also said that the Council should insert a certain amount of money to be paid, living wage, and that they should hire the current work force. After he left, the Aldermen began to criticize the administration at the lack of answers and transparency in that they have not been given both proposals, the names of the selection committee, and that some questions asked by Ald. Dowell, for instance, that were asked for in the last round of briefings have yet to be answered. The criticism of the administration on the lack of transparency was a theme and while they seem to concede that we will win passage, many of them are either not voting for it for sure or are leaning that way. There was also talk about whether or not this was the appropriate time for their caucus, the progressive one I assume, to assert itself, but they felt that they will not have the impact on this issue that they are seeking, so this is apparently not the caucus test vote they are waiting for. I do think that every effort to get them material or answers that they are seeking should be made so as to avoid floor debate that could center on the administration's failure to be open as opposed to the issue of the terminal. I would also like to know whether or not CAP partners, McDonald's, etc., are personally guarenteeing the 11.5 million or do they have a letter of credit to post, because one of the arguments we have made is that their is no guarantee that CAP will meet their sales figures or base rent based upon current sales. The picture would be different if the two corporate partners were also guarantors. It is a discussion we need to be prepared for at the committee and on the floor debate. According to the discussion at this meeting, Fioretti is undecided, Dowell is leaning towards no, Waguespack is no, Arena is no, Moore is undecided, and Cappleman who was no prior to his briefing last week is now maybe back in the no column, Munoz is no. There was a discussion that there is no upside for them to vote for this in that they figure it will pass without them, and they will be able to say that they did not support it because they weren't given enough information to make an informed decision as opposed to being for the CAP proposal. We should be fine in committee and on the floor if things stay as they are, but I want to avoid the administration being brought into this issue in the negative.

From: Cooper, Tarrah Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 9:30 PM To: 'mayor_re@rahmemail.com' Subject: Trib Ed Board: A new deal at O'Hare A new deal at O'Hare What if every government contract was subjected to competition this spirited? The giant Westfield Group knows food courts. It knows shopping centers. It doesn't, however, know Richard M. Daley, at least not as well as the ex-Chicago mayor's longtime confidante Jeremiah Joyce does. So it was heartening — and somewhat startling — last year when a committee chosen by a Daley appointee picked Westfield Concession Management over Joyce's incumbent team for a 20-year lease at O'Hare International Airport. Westfield won the bidding contest by using realistic numbers, offering a no-strings-attached guaranteed rent, and bringing an impressive track record of success at airport development. Mayor Rahm Emanuel later reviewed the bid and gave it his blessing. Case closed? Not quite. Joyce's Chicago Aviation Partners, which includes Duty Free Americas and McDonald's, has fought hard to rewrite the bidding process and retain its valuable slice of the airport biz. Its spin doctors and influence peddlers have descended on City Hall, competing with a similar group of fixers representing Westfield as a City Council committee prepares to vote on the deal Thursday. To the extent the Joyce group serves to give the city added muscle in its negotiations with Westfield — well, good. Opponents of Westfield now say the mall developer is practically stealing the contract with a lowball offer.They also say the losing bidders would have showered the city with much more money. Promises, promises. If the losers wanted to offer the city a better deal, they had the opportunity. What Chicagoans have learned from this competitive process is that this contract truly has been worth a fortune to the crowd that has held it. That's why companies are fighting over it.Which raises a broader question: To what extent are the city of Chicago, Cook County, Chicago Public Schools and a host of other governments locked into contracts that may be cushy for public officials' cronies, but that would be more advantageous for taxpayers if they too were subjected to truly competitive bidding. Caveat: The City Council needs to ensure this deal is not, as its opponents assert, a smallerscale version of the parking-meter privatization fiasco. But, assuming the city has negotiated reasonable financial terms with Westfield, we urge the council to stay the course and go with the mall guys over the City Hall guys. For more than two years, Westfield has negotiated in good faith, followed the rules and responded to repeated requests for more information. Chicago needs to maintain the integrity of its bidding process. Besides, the city needs to get moving. O'Hare's Terminal Five is a crown jewel waiting to happen. It holds a captive audience of international travelers with money to spend and time on their hands to spend it. The new contract would open the area behind Terminal Five's security screen to restaurants and shops. That long overdue improvement promises lucrative returns. Well-run facilities in mega-airports like O'Hare can generate astonishing amounts of revenue — $10 or more per passenger is not beyond reason. Stuck in a budget hole, Chicago has every reason to bring Terminal Five into the 21st century of food-service and retailing, the sooner, the better. That should be very good for taxpayers. We hope it's also good for the bidder who wins this contract — in part to show other companies that they can make strong bids for government contracts, be treated fairly, and still earn a profit.

Fran and the Trib are writing about it tomorrow as well as African-American papers. We’ll also talk to Natalie Moore about food deserts tomorrow for a piece she is working on about your first 100 days. CBS2 News at 6pm: Union recommendations * SUMMARY: * Mayor Emanuel soundbite: "we now have real managed competition." * Mayor soundbite: "and they're right, middle management deserves review." * Mayor soundbite: "any part of the budget, from the mayor's office to work rule reforms, and everything in between those boundaries is not off limits, it's on limits." WALTER JACOBSON: no casino in chicago, not yet, but there is a high-stakes poker game being played at city hall between mayor emanuel and public employee unions. mayor is challenging the union to come up with $10 million in labor savings, or face the layoff of 625 employees. labor leaders had just met the rahm challenge and upped the ante offering to save the city $250 million per year. chief correspondent jay levine is here to sort it all out. $250 million per year savings? JAY LEVINE: well they claim it is, but $100 million of that is just a guess, savings from what they call a full performance review. the rest of it comes from some of the same things that the mayor was already talking about. although in a slightly different way. MAYOR EMANUEL: we now have real managed competition. LEVINE: he was talking about outsourcing part of the city's recycling program which the labor leaders tried to portray as a bad deal for the city. JORGE RAMIREZ: we need to make sure that manage competition is fair competition. LEVINE: they claim the numbers do not add up and the city workers could have done the work between 25 and 50% less than the firms awarded the contracts. RAMIREZ: the city is too quick to award private contracts to the private sector without fully exploring their ability to perform the work in-house. LEVINE: he calls that "in-sourcing" and claimed that would save $40 million per year, another $37 million would come from reducing the number of city middle management jobs. EMANUEL: and they're right, middle management deserves review. LEVINE: the labor leaders did offer suggestions about more efficient ways of doing things, in some cases 10 hours be more productive than 8 hour days. we found a city crew consisting of a supervisor, to truck drivers, to laborers and three city vehicles assigned to a small sidewalk job that even they seem to think was a bit of a stretch. the mayor has complained about work rules that left workers sitting around and waiting. we saw that out here too. on the street and in the trucks. RAMIREZ: it is our belief that before you go into negotiating work rule changes, you should make sure that your managing things the way that they should be managed. EMANUEL: any part of the budget, from the mayor's office to work rule reforms, and everything in between those boundaries is not off limits, it's on limits. LEVINE: the mayor applauded cement masons, agreed to be cut from double time to time and a half, he said that if other local unions followed suit it would save $100 million. but even that is small potatoes when it comes to the hundreds of millions in savings contained in the consultant's report, which you can bet that the mayor is going over with a fine tooth comb tonight. JACOBSON: i bet that people who see that will concentrate more on the pictures of the workers not doing the work than on the specifics about the savings. manuel.. LEVINE: e-manuel. especially when the union leaders are talking about how much more efficient workers can be. city workers candy. then you go out and take a look at this little job, a couple guys are standing around in not doing very much. but doing what they were assigned to do. it is a management issue as well as it is a worker efficiency issue. they have a lot to clean up.

In December, some of the biggest local names in urban agriculture had protested a previous proposal that they felt would stunt the growth of city gardens with cumbersome rules on plot size, high-end fencing and produce sales in residential areas. Erika Allen, head of seven nonprofit Growing Power farms in Chicago, predicted at the time that her group's work "would be over" if the zoning ordinance passed. But Tuesday morning, Emanuel chose Allen's new Iron Street Farm in Bridgeport to present his proposed ordinance — one that marks a turnaround on almost every thorny issue in the last proposal. "We've been working really hard to see this happen," said Allen, who served on the mayor's transition team. "I think it's just a new administration and a changing of the guard. Former Mayor (Richard) Daley was supportive, but there was a lot of opposition coming out of (the zoning department) that was very much entrenched in 'this is the way it we do it.'" The new ordinance would expand limits on community garden plot size to 25,000 square feet (about half an acre), allow limited produce sales in residentially zoned areas, relax rules on fencing and parking for large commercial urban farms, and allow aquaponics (a system of cultivating both fish and produce) outdoors in hoop houses. The measure is expected to be introduced Thursday to the City Council and could be voted on in September. Proponents of urban farming say it has the potential to transform the city's estimated 14,000 empty lots into productive and attractive spaces. "This shows a vision that the most needy neighborhoods can be the key to revitalizing our city by cleaning up spaces, providing jobs and growing good food," said Ken Dunn, a critic of the previously proposed ordinance. Dunn, who runs the one-acre City Farm in the old Cabrini-Green neighborhood, said he believes Emanuel's approach to urban agriculture marks a sea change from the last administration. "Mayor Daley told us that people moved to the city to get away from farms, not to have farms in the city," Dunn said. "He got a lot of mileage out of being the 'Green Mayor,' but he didn't have it in his bones."

I appreciated the opportunity to share highlights about Accenture’s business and corporate citizenship agendas in Chicago (see attachment for more information). I was particularly grateful to hear the kind words expressed by you and Deputy Mayor Angelson regarding the work we are currently doing for the city. I hope this marks the beginning of a strong partnership, similar in some ways to what we have been able to develop in New York with Mayor Bloomberg and his team www.accenture.com/newyorkcity. I am pleased to confirm that Accenture will support your ongoing efforts to create new job opportunities in Chicago. The essence of our commitment is captured by the following statements: · Accenture hired more than 500 people in Chicago in our Fiscal Year 11 (September 1, 2010 through August 31, 2011) – and, we plan to hire a similar number in FY12. We seek highly motivated and talented individuals with well-developed skills. The ability to communicate with people at all levels and work on teams is critical. Ultimately, we look for people who can create real value, are good business operators, have good management skills and have the potential to become leaders. We are seeking both entry level and experienced professionals to work in our consulting and outsourcing businesses. Examples of the skills and experience of successful candidates include the following: o Have technology skills, including Oracle, SAP, Java/J2EE, SmartGrid, Technical Architecture, Openlink/Endur, and other leading technologies o Can fill roles that require secured clearances, e.g., returning military candidates o Are management consulting professionals o Can fill openings in our Public Service, Banking/Capital Markets, Communication & High Technology, Telecom, Healthcare and Resources practices. · Employee referrals are our best source of people, and our alumni network is also an excellent source of referrals. · Accenture aggressively uses social media, such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, to recruit. · As always, client demand drives Accenture’s hiring needs. We look across our entire business and closely track and manage key levers like attrition and recruiting and balance them against client demand We would be delighted to have you join us at our offices at 161 N. Clark Street so you could meet some of the members of our leadership team. We would intend to invite members of the media in order to make Accenture’s job creation commitment public. I would also like to introduce you to our US CEO, Jorge Benitez, during this visit. To assist with the preparations of a press announcement, and to prepare for a visit to our office, I have asked Jim Mcavoy (james.e.mcavoy@accenture.com) from our public relations team to help us move this forward. It would be great if you could direct me to someone from your team that Jim could work with.

She was recently recoginzed but the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) for this story so be sure to congratulate her. The story discusseds how most Chicagoans who qualify for federal food stamps actually redeem them at corner stores and gas stations in city which lack of healthy and fresh food options. The abundance of food deserts on the south and west side is an obvious factor but the lack of federal involvement/oversight into which stores accept food stamps and what can be purchased is also cited as a major problem. NPR: Federal food stamp program fails some low-income Chicagoans Illinois uses $2 billion of the federal food stamp program. That translates into a lot of assistance for food, but it doesn’t always translate into assistance for healthy food. Parts of Chicago are food deserts – places where there’re few grocery stores with fresh produce and meat. Often, lowincome families who rely on food stamps shop at liquor stores, gas stations and dollar stores. A WBEZ investigation found that these retailers make up 30 percent of the food stamp providers in Chicago.These places offer more junk food than fresh food, but the federal government still gives these stores the green light to accept food stamps. Caroline Ellis is at Citgo buying gas … and snacks. ambi: I want five on one first and I want this on Link. Ellis uses her Link Card, or food stamps, to buy two cans of pop and two bags of chips. Besides a few bananas near the cash register, there’s not much healthy food here. After all, it is a gas station. As Ellis pumps gas outside, she explains Citgo is not where she grocery shops. ELLIS: See, I have a vehicle. A lot of people don’t have vehicles so they not able to get around and they forced to buy this stuff. I can ride past Western on Cicero to get me some fresh fruit, vegetables or whatever I need. I don’t buy fruits and vegetables and things like that at a gas station. Ellis is in the Woodlawn neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side. She travels several miles just to shop for fresh groceries. That’s because she lives in a food desert – a community lacking healthy food or mainstream grocery stores. More than half a million Chicagoans live in such food deserts. The areas tend to be low-income and minority. There are more than 2200 authorized food stamp retailers in Chicago. WBEZ found that 14 percent are gas stations or liquor stores. Another 15 percent are pharmacies and dollar stores. ambi: One Stop Store describing: You see garlic because people like garlic. Lemons, because people like lemons. Green apples…but you can’t put that much out there. Michael H. works at One-Stop on 73rd and Racine. It’s a cross between a dollar store and a corner store. An on-duty butcher cuts meat, but there are only four heads of cabbage, three withered lemons, sweet potatoes and a box of onions. On the other hand, One-Stop is heavy on potato chips and pop. Still, it’s an authorized food stamp retailer. Here are Michael’s thoughts if the federal government ever gave the store a decree for more healthy food: MICHAEL: The thought is real good, but being such a small store…I would probably say this, I could add it, but I wouldn’t have to keep it where I can store it, because people ain’t gonna buy it. He adds, he’d have to raise prices, too. I hear arguments like Michael’s at a lot of gas stations and liquor stores I visit. Over and over, they say it’s too hard to keep fresh food … so they don’t offer much. GALLAGHER: There are two problems with the USDA food stamp retailer program. One, the standards are too low. And two we’re not in compliance with the low standards. Mari Gallagher is a national food desert researcher based in Chicago. GALLAGHER: The food stamp program is in effect rewarding people who are not playing by the rules and generally these stores that are not playing by the rules are of a lower retail caliber. And they attract more of the same. The U.S. Department of Agriculture does have criteria for SNAP, or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program…commonly known as food stamps. For one, tobacco and alcohol can’t be bought. Next, there must be at least three varieties of food in four staple food groups. They have to offer perishable foods in at least two of these categories: meat, poultry or fish; bread or cereal; vegetables or fruits and finally, dairy products. And last … More than half of the dollar amount of all things sold has to be from the sale of eligible staple foods. And, yep … that’s supposed to include gas stations. But these rules aren’t always followed at outlets that take food stamps. ambi of liquor store, bags rustling At ER&J Food and Liquor, owner Elias Abuelizam basically admits that he’s not adhering to the standards. But when USDA officials visit him, they don’t cite him. ABUELIZAM: I’m a liquor store mostly. I got food and liquor. We sell liquor but food is slow these days but it’s okay, it’s not that much. Again, there’re 2200 stores that accept food stamps in Chicago, but USDA officials say they haven’t kicked out even one retailer in fiscal year 2010 for noncompliance. Kevin Concannon is USDA’s Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services. I ask him if the benchmarks are high enough. CONCANNON: I’ve asked the question myself to be perfectly frank. It certainly bothers me when I see a sign, the preeminent sign in front of the store is liquor and then the store meets the criteria minimally to be able to process the SNAP program of food stamps. Concannon says he hopes the 2012 Farm Bill will increase requirements around food stamp choices. His agency points to the growing inclusion of farmer’s markets as a way to wipe out food deserts. He doesn’t accept the rationalization store owners provide – again, that people just won’t buy healthy food. Concannon says a different food program known as Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC, has worked. It’s expanded food choices. More fruits, less fat. He says there’s evidence that when a store offers WIC food … even people outside the program buy healthier items. The problem is … for now, current food stamp program requirements are still low. So in people in food deserts are literally hungry for produce. There are efforts to fill in the gap …. ambi of food pantry: number 41 Deanna Haymer shows up for some free produce at a food pantry in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood. Five produce trucks come by once a month. On this Friday morning, about 200 people file in for cucumbers, lettuce and grapefruit. Deanna Haymer loads up her cardboard box. ambi: yeah, I know how to cook green beans Haymer says her produce options have been dicey. A Food 4 Less store recently opened a few blocks from her, but before that, she shopped at liquor stores and gas stations. HAYMER: I’m not satisfied with what I get but sometimes you just have to accept what you can get at the time. Like the fruit sometimes it be like mushy or the green peppers be a different color or shriveled up. Transportation has been a huge problem for Haymer. In fact, a lot of low-income families can’t drive or use public transit to shop outside their neighborhoods. Experts say we need to get creative to fix the problem of food deserts and food stamp standards. That doesn’t just mean getting more mainstream grocery stores to open in food deserts. Researcher Mari Gallagher says one idea is to improve all the stores that already accept food stamps. GALLAGHER: What if we worked with those stores and said hey, we’re going to use carrots and sticks. The ones who are going to have the different types of dairy products and other kind of products that support a healthy diet can stay in the program. And the ones who don’t will have to get out. I think that would actually not only improve public health but it would help revitalize the market because stores would have to step up. It might not seem fair to let some communities be dominated by dollar or liquor stores. But Gallagher says, with the right tools, those stores could actually increase healthy food options ... and not just be the destinations for junk food that they are right now. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

Cermak Road?5th Floor Chicago, IL 60616 Dear Mr. Reilly: As we discussed during our meeting, it is the intention of the Carpenters union to work with the MPEA and representatives of both state and local government to resolve the issues that confront the Chicago trade show industry and the members ofthe Carpenters union. it is undisputed that the legislation passed by the General Assembly in May 2010 had the effect of displacing many of the trade show workers who earned their living working at McCormick Place. proposed that in exchange for exhibitors being able to perform the work on their company?s product, alternative employment opportunities must be found for those carpenters that will be displaced. Therefore, we strive to collaborate with state, county and local governmental representatives in securing gainful employment for those members who have been and who will continue to be disadvantaged as a result of the work rule changes. We can begin to address the current issues by collaborating on publicly funded public and private projects and events where members of the union can provide valuable services under the union?s customary and historical work jurisdiction. These projects would not only include construction projects but also government incentive weatherization work and training, green-building initiatives and energy-efficiency programs in new construction, retrofit or modernization, and special events conducted at state, city, county and park district venues. Additional measures would include the establishment of a jointly administrated trust to promote the Chicago trade show industry in order to address the funding disparity between Chicago, Las Vegas and Orlando (the $2 per hour that was offered). This initiative will be used to incentivize Chicago as a trade show destination. 12 East Erie Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611-2796 Phone: 312?787?3076 Fax: 312-951-1540 1? rank T. Libby, Prcsiricnt/ExecutEve - Jeffrey isuzicson, First Vice President Finally, the parties must establish and implement a policy of transparency in the trade show industry, which will provide tangible, sought-after value to the exhibitors who choose Chicago as their business destination. Again, it remains our hope to reach a full resolution that promotes the Chicago trade show industry and provides new opportunities for union members who have been and will be adversely affected under the work rule changes. 1 look forward to your response on how we can work with governmental agencies to identify opportunities and secure the work described in this proposal for our members.

Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2011 17:39:47 -0400 To: Emanuel, Rahm (Contact) Subject: Welcoming TPP delegates Hi Rahm—thanks again for helping with the TPP negotiating round. We’re holding a reception for the TPP delegates and negotiators from the 8 countries, about 400 people, on Friday evening September 9 at the Chicago Hilton. We are going to invite Chicago business leaders, academics and civil society as well. Ron Kirk will most likely say a few words. Would you be interested in welcoming the negotiators to Chicago, talk about how Chicago is a world class exporting city and mention how trade is helping create jobs in the area (Illinois Tool, Caterpillar, etc.)? It would be a quick in and out. I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Luis BACKGROUND ON TPP The eighth round of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations will be held in Chicago on September 6 - 15. The TPP Agreement is an Asia-Pacific regional trade agreement currently being negotiated among the United States and eight other partners. The United States’ TPP negotiating partners are Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. The Chicago round will be critical as countries seek to make significant progress toward the goal of reaching the outlines of an ambitious, 21st century agreement by the APEC Leaders’ meeting in November. The Chicago round follows the seventh round of negotiations held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam during the week of June 20. During the Vietnam round, there was a total of 450 delegates in attendance from the nine countries and approximately 140 stakeholders representing business, civil society, and academic groups. Stakeholders from the United States and other TPP countries made presentations on a wide range of issues and will be given a similar opportunity in Chicago. We are anticipating an even greater turnout of stakeholders in Chicago. From: mayor_re@rahmemail.com Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2011 5:12 PM To: Mc Carthy, Garry F.

It's probably that I'm getting soft and sentimental in my old age, but it was exciting to land at Midway and see the signs "Rahm Emanuel Mayor." As promised, I've attached a copy of a proposal for you to participate in a forum on education reform. By way of quick background. The company I help is k12, which operates virtual charter schools in more than half the states — including two in Chicago. I think it's a terrific company — and the school they run called the Youth Connection Charter School at Malcolm X Community College should be a national model. The CEO of k12 is an entrepreneur named Ron Packard, and the Chairman of the Board is Andrew Tisch. I got Packard in touch with Jack Markell, who hired k12 to fix the worst school in the state — and gives them rave reviews. They run two schools in Chicago. One is the Chicago Virtual Charter School at 28 S. Peoria. The other is the YCCS at Malcolm, which which I am most familiar. This is a school for the hardest core kids — kids who have been out of the system for at least a year. It was setup when Arne Duncan was superintendent as a so-called hybrid school — and school with brick and mortar facility that uses a virtual curriculum taught by certified teachers. It's graduation rate has been higher than 90 percent. I really think it foreshadows where education is going in the information age. The link that follows is a short video about YCCS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXdC8MhqiV0 I sent this to Ami Desai — and he asked them to make a presentation at the Clinton Global Initiative in Chicago. The attached proposal, suggests an October 6 date and several potential sponsors. But the k12 people really want to accommodate you — so they are willing to schedule it when you can do it and to have you or your staff vet the sponsors. They are also willing to work out the substance of the event with your staff — just so it focusses on education reforms for the future. I think it would be worth your time to get to know Ron Packard — and that k12 could be a good partner for you. Let me know if you have any interest — and I'll get your staff in touch with Peter Stewart and Darren Reed of k12, who have the responsibility for their schools in Chicago. Thanks for your consideration. See you soon.

It has been always a vision for commercial traffic. We’re now to make it a place of residential livelihood. Anchor: Mayor Rahm Emanuel unveils a new plan that he says will make the Chicago River the city's next recreational frontier. It includes the construction of four new boathouses to draw visitors. This is a story new at 5:00 today and Karen Jordan is joining us with details on the effort to revive recreation on the waterway. Karen Jordan: Cheryl, the river has long been an important part of Chicago’s economy as a way to transport goods. Now the waterway is at the center of a major effort to clean it up and make it ready for fun. Promoting the potential of the Chicago River has long been a challenge. in the mid 1970's, the late Mayor Richard J. Daley drew laughs at a civic meeting when he proposed catching and eating fish out of the water. MRJD: and in the river we hope to have fish and many of your employees can go down and fish, have a barbeque. i really mean it. Karen Jordan: current Mayor Rahm Emanuel is also setting his sights on the river, wanting to change it from an afterthought to a recreational destination. MRE: I want that river to be for all of us what the lake has been for all of us. It has been always a vision for commercial traffic. We’re now to make it a place of residential livelihood. Karen Jordan: Emanuel was joined by EPA administrator Lisa Jackson who announced more than $800,000 in grants to help clean up the river and spur job creation. The mayor also announced the construction of four boathouses at $4 million each at various points along the river that will have concessions and kayak rentals. Emanuel’s river initiative is welcome news for advocates of the river. Margaret Frisbie (Friends of the Chicago River): This idea that the city’s going to lead the way, that there is federal money to help out and improve water quality, that there is an edict from the top that says the water needs to be clean enough for everybody no matter who you are, but that's just a tremendous change in progress. Karen Jordan: already in the works is the Chicago River race set for October of next year, where international teams of rowers would compete on course from Surmac Bridge to the merchandise mart. Chicago public schools students involved in a rowing club would participate, making the river more accessible to more communities. Montana Butsch (Chicago Training Center): we have been very good in our efforts trying to engage the inner city to make use of the river and this only validates that approach. Karen Jordan: the boathouses are scheduled to be completed by 2013 and funded through a mix of public and private funds. The general consensus is this a long time coming and they're ready to see this happen.

Tom as part of the Thompson team back in the mid-80’s when we proposed a major extension into the service side. Unfortunately we were ahead of our time and got our head handed to us but the concept is still absolutely right. We cannot forever go on taxing the proportionately shrinking part of the base represented by the sale of goods and not taxing the proportionately growing service sector.

I think that we really need to talk. I know that you don’t want to hear it but there is no support in key quarters – I mean NO support for a legislative solution in the veto session. We are not passing up an opportunity to get it all. There is no opportunity to pass up. It is an illusion! I know that you can say that maybe if we make a full court press we could force the issue but that is sort of like me saying that if we put enough money in some venture capital opportunity that looks good to me but you know just won’t work, we might make a fortune. Sometimes when one has done something long enough and with enough success, one just knows. We are not negotiating because it is easier or because the Mayor or me or anyone else involved lacks guts or doesn’t understand what is at stake. We are negotiating because it is the best, perhaps the only, way to save the trade show industry in Chicago which, in my judgment, will come as close to collapsing or closer than it was in the spring of 2010 if we get through veto session with no resolution and have to wait until the appeal plays itself out sometime late this year or, more likely, sometime next spring. The judge struck down four things that really matter to show manager: the right to do their own work in a booth of any size, the enlarged straight time window, smaller crew size and the POV rule. In our negotiations, we are already home on the ability of exhibitors to do their own work in a booth of any size and which will be forever enshrined in state law free from legal challenge. No compromise here. This is huge! At the latest the small crew size will take effect January 1 but our goal is to get it moved up to now and again enshrined in state law with no compromise. We are working hard to get the POV rule also set in stone, again with no compromise. Finally, the toughest issue remaining is getting the useful parts of the straight time window (hump day and break of a show) also set in stone. As a footnote, I would remind that if we passed public employee legislation which we cannot, that would almost certainly be challenged setting off another year or so of uncertainty which the negotiations route seeks to avoid. As a second footnote, I would add that I am already driving the Mayor crazy pushing for the last two changes and taking up his time with our issues when he really needs to be concentrating on the budget. In terms of letting go of even small sections of the reform act, some of them like the holiday section inadvertently are actually harmful, and even you have describe the adjust jurisdiction sections as being so watered down that it is not worth the paper that it is written on. I don’t have the slightest doubt that if we can take care of these four issues and can have uniform support in our own ranks, that we will be back to the situation that we were in until Judge Guzman entered his decree. You talk of “really kicking ass” but, Bruce, we were really kicking ass back then and we can be doing again soon but I sincerely believe that negotiation is our only possible route. I don’t blame you for wanting a perfect world for the Chicago trade show industry. I would like that too but absolute perfection doesn’t happen very often. If it did, the world wouldn’t need people like you and me to drag it along. Let’s talk Monday if you have time. Jim From: Rauner, Bruce V.

However I understood the pressures of the current budget and that we needed to at a minimum look to eliminating COT and redirecting the $2 million state money to CCTB. If the hotel community was convinced that there was no opportunity to redirect the1% we would probably be back for support in the spring legislative session to create a TID with an increase in the hotel tax of no more that .5% in order to create a new funding source for the Bureau That there were some in the industry that thought we could raise it as much as that amount as long as we stayed under 16%. Many other cities have raised there taxes to catch up to Chicago so we were not alone at this rate.

CONTACT: Mayor's Press Office 312.744.3334 press@cityofchicago.org CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS CITY EMPLOYEE VACATION REFORM Reforms to City leave policies will increase efficiencies and realize long-term savings for taxpayers Mayor Emanuel commended Chicago's City Council for passing an ordinance implementing vacation leave policies to increase efficiencies in the City's workforce, realize long-term savings for taxpayers and modernize City government. "We are bringing City government into the 21st century," said Mayor Emanuel. "I am pleased that the City Council approved this ordinance today - these reforms will help provide better services by increasing efficiency and reducing costs to the people who matter most: the taxpayers of Chicago." In July, the Mayor ordered Commissioner of Human Resources Soo Choi to conduct a thorough review of the City's leave policies and crafting recommendations to modernize and streamline them. * Vacation leave would change from a prospective-earning to a current-year model. Under the new model, employees would only be allowed to carry over a maximum of 5 vacation days from one year to the next. With this reform, monetary compensation paid by the City to retiring employees for unused vacation days would be significantly scaled back: o Under the current policy, a non-represented employee with more than 25 years of service could retire at the end of 2011 and receive compensation for up to 75 days of vacation. Under the reformed policy that same employee would only be compensated for up to 50 days in 2012; starting in 2013 non-represented employees can receive only up to 30 days. o Under the current policy, a non-represented employee with less than 6 years of service could retire at the end of 2011 and receive compensation for up to 39 days of vacation. Under the reformed policy, that same employee would only be compensated for up to 26 days in 2012; starting in 2013 non-represented employees can receive only up to 18 days. In September, Mayor Emanuel announced the City of Chicago's first uniform maternity leave policy for non-represented employees in order to modernize the City's practices and bring Chicago in line with standards from the private and public sectors. -----Original Message----From: mayor_re@rahmemail.com [mailto:mayor_re@rahmemail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 4:03 PM To: Chris Mather; Cooper, Tarrah Subject: Should we put a statement out on the vacation day.

The tradition of what is the world's oldest still-celebrated banquet has been documented since 1356. Invitations to the event are sent to approximately 400 representatives from the fields of politics, industry, science and culture as well as the consular corps from the roughly 100 consulates located in Hamburg. Tradition stipulates that a foreign and a German guest of honour give a short address to the guests attending the Matthiae-Mahlzeit. Among the foreign honorary guests welcomed by the City of Hamburg in the past have been heads of state and Minister Presidents from Denmark, Finland, Latvia, Austria, the Netherlands, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland und Hungary, as well as monarchs from Sweden, Denmark and Jordan. German honorary guests in the past years were Federal President Horst Köhler, Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, the former German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and the Federal Minister for the Environment Norbert Röttgen. Both the Senate and I personally would consider it a pleasure and a great honour if you, dear Mayor Emanuel, would accept our invitation to Hamburg in order to continue this tradition of welcoming high-ranking functionaries at the Matthiae-Mahlzeit. The cities of Hamburg and Chicago have been sister cities for over 17 years now. This is why I find it especially important to continue to intensify this partnership. A fitting start to the exchange between the City of Chicago and the Senate I now head was the meeting held with you by Senator for Economic Affairs Frank Horch on 24 June 2011. State Councillor Pörksen of the Ministry for Labour, Social Affairs, Family Affairs and Integration will also be visiting your city at the end of July. A visit on your part to Hamburg for the Matthiae-Mahlzeit next year would be a meaningful symbol and a highlight of the long-enduring friendship between Hamburg and Chicago. The Matthiae-Mahlzeit 2012 is to take place at 7:00 p.m. on 24 February 2012. A possible alternative date would be 17 February 2012. For your information, I am taking the liberty of enclosing an overview of the history of the Matthiae-Mahlzeit as well as a list of the previous guests of honour. Should you have any special wishes associated with a visit to Hamburg, we would be delighted to accommodate them. The Senate's guest house would of course be available to you and your entourage.

I’ve received a lot of feedback from people applauding the way you discussed the innovative ways in which local government is dealing with the challenges facing our country and highlighted the Administration accomplishments since May. You had a very strong ending and did well reminding people of the what the President inherited and how much he has fought, and continues to fight for what’s in the best, long term interest of the American people. Best sound bite: “Me and the President don’t create jobs. That is not government’s responsibility.

On the officers arrival they discovered that three victims had been fatally shot on the scene and three other victims at been transported by friends to Roseland and Metro South Hospital. Responding units also observed a semi-auto pistol with an extended magazine clip lying on the floor was later identified as one of the offender weapon. Other officers responded to calls of men with guns fleeing from the Cellular store to 13101 S. Forestville. At that location officers recovered an AK-47 and a 9mm pistol along the side of the fence at that location. Officers entered the residence and recovered an additional weapon from inside the residence and transported two offenders to Area Two Detective Division for further investigation. Detectives learned that this incident maybe over stolen property taken in burglaries about a week ago that was purchased by the Connect Cellular Store. According to witnesses the owners of the store refused to return the stolen property back to the alleged victims. The one witness from the store stated" that this is revenge from the stolen property". Updates to follow From: Mc Carthy, Garry F.

Byrne Chicago Tribune reporter 10:27 p.m. CST, November 25, 2011 Former Chicago first lady Maggie Daley, who died Thursday after a long fight with cancer, will be remembered during a public ceremony at the Chicago Cultural Center on Sunday, a family spokeswoman said today. The public wake will begin at noon and end at 10 p.m. at the Cultural Center’s Preston Bradley Hall, according to Jacquelyn Heard, a family friend and the former mayor's spokeswoman. The Daley family plans to attend, she said. A public funeral Mass is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Monday at Old St. Patrick’s Church, Heard said. Mrs. Daley, who was the city's first lady for 22 years, died a little after 6 p.m. Thursday, more than nine years after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 68. Today, the former mayor "is reflecting on the times he had with Mrs. Daley," Heard said. Speaking at a news conference at the downtown headquarters for After School Matters today, Heard said Daley was glad he and the couple’s children were at her side when she passed away. "And it is a very sad time. As you all know about our former mayor, he is emotional," Heard said. "This has to be one of the toughest, if not the toughest, situation that he will ever have to endure.” The Daley family said in lieu of flowers, people can make donations to After School Matters, at www.afterschoolmatters.org, or to the Maggie Daley Cancer Center at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, at www.cancer.northwestern.edu. Books for people to sign and offer condolences will be set up this weekend at City Hall and at the Chicago Cultural Center, Heard said. A book for children to sign will be available at the Gallery 37 building at 66 E. Randolph St., she said. “My heart goes out to the Daley family during this difficult time,” City Clerk Susana Mendoza said in a statement today. “Maggie Daley was a true champion and advocate for all Chicagoans. She constantly inspired our city to dream bigger and do better,” Mendoza said. “I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a vibrant woman who inspired everyone. Her spirit and vision for Chicago touched the lives of all of us,’’ Mendoza said. “Her contributions to our great city were immeasurable and her legacy will live on in the many programs she supported and created.” President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a joint statement Friday expressing sadness at the news of her death. "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Maggie Daley, a remarkable woman who, through her passionate support of education and the arts, built stronger communities with more opportunity for all and left an indelible mark on the city she loved," they said. "Her commitment to Chicago, to its future, and to her own family continue to inspire us both. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mayor Daley, Nora, Patrick, Lally, and the entire Daley family." Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White also commented on her passing today, saying he is “saddened by the news.’’ “I applaud her efforts to help young people become better educated and better prepared for their futures through her After School Matters program,’’ White said. “Her passion to help our young people reach their dreams and goals was the driving force for the program’s success. Maggie Daley’s passing is a loss for the entire City of Chicago. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Daley family,’’ White said. Katten Muchin Rosenman, the law firm where the former Mayor Richard M. Daley is now employed, said in a written statement that they are expressing their “deepest sympathies’’ to the family. “Maggie Daley's vibrant spirit and innumerable contributions to Chicago, especially its young people, have left an indelible mark that will impact generations to come,’’ the firm’s statement read. “Mrs. Daley lived for her husband and children and, in her graceful way, she touched as well the lives of many in Chicago, especially school children and people with special needs,’’ according to a statement issued today from Cardinal Francis George. “While many grieve her loss, it is the life of her husband that is most affected. As I remember her before the Lord, he too will be frequently in my prayers,’’ the cardinal’s statement said. Father Jack Wall, pastor emeritus at Old St. Pat’s Church and a longtime Daley family friend, said it was appropriate that Maggie Daley died on the evening of Thanksgiving, because it was such an important holiday for her family and families across Chicago. "On Thanksgiving morning I had the honor to be with them, to pray with them in the morning, and to watch them as they celebrated as a family together this feast of Thanksgiving," Wall said, adding that it was Maggie who made her husband promise Sundays would be set aside for private family activities while he was mayor. "One of the things I think all of us as Chicagoans appreciated about Maggie is her deep sense of family. She was very conscious of all of our families," he said. "As the sun set, the day ended and people were finishing their meals, she breathed her last. And I have a very special feeling that she was saying ‘You don’t have to call anybody up, because you’re all with your family on this day and we’re all together as a city, surrounded by the people we love the most, and sharing this time together,'" Wall said. Boy, 4, killed on birthday at Southwest Side home 10:48 p.m. CST, November 25, 2011 Everything was ready for Christopher Valdez’s fourth birthday party on Friday: the cake and presents from family members who planned to congregate at the home of the boy’s grandparents in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood. But then Christopher’s grandfather, Tom Valdez, received a call at work from his son telling him to return home immediately. When Valdez got there, he found that the home of his daughter, Christopher’s mother, which is located just across the alley from his home in the 5100 block of South Trumbull Avenue, had been cordoned off with yellow police tape. Valdez, 57, said that police told him Christopher had been beaten to death. “I’m devastated,” said Valdez on Friday night. “I miss him very much.” The boy turned four Friday. Valdez said that his son and daughter-in-law had brought a birthday cake to his daughter’s home Friday afternoon, but that no one answered the door initially. They kept pounding on the door, Valdez said, because they suspected something was wrong. When they finally got inside, they found Christopher’s body and called police, Valdez said. “I’m still confused and hurt,” Valdez said. “My entire family is in shock.” The child was unresponsive when police arrived and appeared to have suffered blunt force trauma, possibly from being punched, police said. Christopher was pronounced dead at 3:10 p.m. at Holy Cross Hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office. It appeared that he may have been dead for several hours before emergency crews found him, according to police. No charges have been filed, said Police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala. Police took Christopher’s mother and her boyfriend in for questioning Friday. Valdez described Christopher as a cheerful and lovable child who loved Spiderman, baseball and his Tonka Truck. “He also had this little rabbit that he would squeeze and it would sing a song,” Valdez said. “He would walk around with it all day.” Christopher had three other siblings, Valdez said. “His sister asked me plainly, ‘Is Christopher dead?’” Valdez said. “And I just said, ‘no.’” Man charged after West Side charter school burglarized 9th time in 2 months By Jeremy Gorner Tribune reporter 11:35 p.m. CST, November 25, 2011 One person was arrested Friday morning and a number of laptop computers were recovered following a burglary at a West Side charter school--the ninth burglary there since October. Polaris Charter Academy, 620 N. Sawyer Ave., in the East Garfield Park neighborhood was hit again about 3:30 a.m., according to Chicago police. Marcus Sibley, 21, has been charged with six counts of burglary at a school, police said. He lives on the 700 block of North Troy Street, about one block from the Polaris Charter Academy. On the lookout in wake of the rash of burglaries, Harrison District officers responded quickly to an alarm early this morning. Officers arrived to find three people running out through a door, two of whom were carrying bags, police said. Police were able to catch one of the suspects, but the two others got away. Two bags—containing up to 20 laptop computers—were also dropped at the scene during the suspects’ getaway, police said. Typically, they said, the burglars would break into the school by using a fire escape with access to the roof, and enter the building through a window. Robber threatens KFC clerks during Far South Side heist Rosemary Sobol Tribune reporter 8:50 p.m. CST, November 25, 2011 A KFC cook is being lauded for “shielding’’ cashiers when a man threatened to shoot them during a holdup this afternoon near the Indiana border. “He was shielding the girls when they were threatened,’’ KFC manager Arlene Wilson said of the cook. “He didn’t panic, he hit the alarm button,’’ she said. The incident unfolded about 1:30 p.m. when the robber walked into the eatery at 10556 S. Indianapolis Ave. and stated that he was going to shoot the cashier if he did not get money, police said. The suspect didn’t show a gun but acted as if he had one in his pants. He grabbed the cashier when she didn’t open the register and then jumped behind the counter, police said. Another female clerk working the drive-up window and a shift supervisor were also working at the time, said Wilson. But when the robber threatened to shoot, one of the girls escaped and ran across the street to a McDonalds to call police, according Wilson, who said “Joe,’’ the cook, then sprang into action and helped the girls. Meanwhile, the suspect fled with about $175 in cash and got behind the wheel of a silver sport-utility vehicle and fled on the Indiana Toll Road, towards Indiana, police said. “They were a little scared, a little in shock,’’ Wilson said of the three female staffers. “Except for Joe, he handled himself well.’’ “Everyone is safe and in pretty good shape,’’ Wilson said. My crew is very well trained.’’ Police said the suspect, a man who was about 6-feet- tall and 225 pounds, was not in custody. Wilson said police remained at the scene for at least three hours.

Meanwhile, the suspect fled with about $175 in cash and got behind the wheel of a silver sport-utility vehicle and fled on the Indiana Toll Road, towards Indiana, police said. “They were a little scared, a little in shock,’’ Wilson said of the three female staffers. “Except for Joe, he handled himself well.’’ “Everyone is safe and in pretty good shape,’’ Wilson said. My crew is very well trained.’’ Police said the suspect, a man who was about 6-feet- tall and 225 pounds, was not in custody. Wilson said police remained at the scene for at least three hours. Police search for teen missing from South Side Staff report 11:00 p.m. CST, November 25, 2011 Police are looking for a 13-year-old girl reported missing from Chicago’s South Side on Wednesday. Lynda Trimuel was reported missing from the 8600 block of South Justine Avenue. She has pierced ears, is 5-feet tall, weighs 130 pounds, has brown eyes, brown hair, and a light complexion. Her nickname is “China.” Chicago police didn’t provide additional information about her disappearance, but asked anyone with information to contact the Calumet Area Special Victims Unit at (312) 747-8274. SUN-TIMES Pastor says Maggie Daley a life force; public memorial Sunday BY ABDON PALLASCH and LISA DONOVAN Staff Reporters November 25, 2011 3:10PM Updated: November 26, 2011 2:05AM Maggie Daley’s long-time pastor, Father Jack Wall, of Old St. Patrick’s Church, said her funeral Monday will be as positive and upbeat as her life was. “When it became an issue of whether she was going to see herself as a victim or she was going to see herself as a life force, she just said, ‘I am a life force. I am living today and I am not a victim, I am something more than a victim, I am giving my life away, nothing’s going to take life from me — I am going to give it away,” Wall said. “She was not one about going back into places of adding to the sorrow, she just absolutely wants to celebrate her life, and that’s what we intend to do,” Wall said. Mrs. Daley’s funeral mass will occur 10:30 a.m. Monday at Old St. Patrick’s Church, 700 W. Adams. A public memorial will run from noon to 10 p.m. Sunday at Preston Bradley Hall in the Chicago Cultural Center, 78 E. Washington. Attendees are encouraged to enter through the Washington Street entrance of the center. Mrs. Daley died about 6 p.m. Thursday at home in her bed surrounded by her family after losing a nine-year battle with metastatic breast cancer. “I think it was absolutely fitting that the day she ended up breathing her last was on Thanksgiving evening after families were gathering all throughout the city of Chicago celebrating that one beautiful thing about Thanksgiving — the opportunity for families to come together,” Wall said. John Rogers Jr., CEO of Ariel Investments and a friend of 30 years, recalled Mrs. Daley always made sure everyone felt welcome at social gatherings. “She was always the one laughing and leading the jokes and saying, ‘Come on, stay for one more, stay out, one more drink — let’s really kind of enjoy all this together.’ And she never took no for an answer.” Another Daley family friend, Monsignor Ken Velo, recalled how Mrs. Daley was always concerned for all Chicagoans. Velo remembered having lunch with Mrs. Daley after the mayor had a biking accident in Michigan in 1998. “The waiter was talking about how he likes to bike ride,” Velo said. “She said, ‘Do you wear a helmet?’ He said, ‘Well, no.’ She gave him money and said, ‘I want you to wear a helmet.’” The Daley family asked that in lieu of flowers, people contribute to either the charity Mrs. Daley cofounded, After School Matters, at www.afterschoolmatters.org, or to the Maggie Daley Center for Women’s Cancer Care at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, www.cancer.north western.edu. Toddler killed in ‘domestic situation’ on South Side BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter/sesposito@suntimes.com November 25, 2011 8:58PM Updated: November 26, 2011 2:07AM It was Christopher Valdez’s fourth birthday Friday, and his relatives were preparing to celebrate at the family’s Southwest Side home. But instead of a celebration, there was mourning. The little boy was killed Friday afternoon in what police described as a “possible domestic situation” at Christopher’s home in the 5100 block of South Trumbull Avenue. Police late Friday said they were talking to a male person of interest who was in custody. Police said the boy was dead when police arrived at the home about 2:10 p.m. The child appeared to have died from “multiple blunt force trauma,” police said. On Friday night, shocked relatives gathered at the home of Christopher’s grandparents — just across the alley from where Christopher lived — to grieve. And they defended the boy’s mother. “We want everyone to know that our daughter is innocent of whatever happened there,” said Christopher’s grandfather, Tom Valdez. While the family said they didn’t yet know all of the details, they said that at some point Friday afternoon, Christopher’s mother, Crystal Valdez, telephoned one of her brothers, desperate for help. Upon arriving at his sister’s home, the brother was forced to restrain his sister’s live-in boyfriend, with whom Crystal Valdez had a troubled relationship, family members said. “He has created a lot of problems,” said Tom Valdez, declining to go into details. Suspect held in fatal shooting at UIC Medical Center BY RUMMANA HUSSAIN Staff Reporter rhussain@suntimes.com November 25, 2011 2:06AM Updated: November 26, 2011 2:06AM Angela Bonds never felt threatened at work, her family said. But within the last two years, the hospital housekeeper became the target of a cruel prankster. One time, her car was keyed. Another time, sugar was poured into Bonds’ gas tank. Late Thursday, the vandalism in the parking garage at the University of Illinois Medical Center escalated into something deadly. As Bonds, 48, left her shift, a co-worker she had previously been involved with allegedly opened fire and struck her in the head and torso, authorities said. Bonds’ fiance, a janitor at the Near West Side hospital, was at her side and escaped injury when he “ran for cover” from the bullets sprayed by the other man, Bonds’ brother Reginald said. Charges in the Thanksgiving murder were pending against a 47-year-old hospital maintenance worker who was arrested following a nearby traffic stop early Friday morning. The alleged gunman is a 15-year veteran at the hospital, UIC spokesman Mark Rosati said. The weapon used in the shooting, in the 1800 block of West Taylor Street, has been recovered, Rosati said. Bonds’ brother said he was “baffled” over the fatal shooting that prompted a lockdown of several hours at the hospital when it was believed the shooter had re-entered the facility. Bonds, of North Riverside, and the alleged gunman decided to break off their relationship seven years ago. Still, the “quiet and resolved” man would come over to Bonds’ mother’s South Side home for dinner or to do errands for the elderly woman, Reginald Bonds, 50, said. Angela Bonds didn’t mind working with her ex and never spoke about being afraid, her family said. The only time the alleged gunman was confrontational with Bonds was when he purposely bumped into her as they recently performed their housekeeping duties, her brother said. But Bonds had her suspicions about who had been damaging her vehicle. “He was nitpicking her at work,” Reginald Bonds said of the suspect. “She let him go. We’re thinking he didn’t let her go . . . He probably saw her fiance with her, and it just got to him. He snapped.” UIC spokesman Bill Burton said university police were never previously involved in any incidents tied to Bonds, adding that he could not discuss any personnel matters that she may have reported to her bosses. Bonds, who had worked at the UIC Medical Center for about 15 years, had Thanksgiving dinner with her family before her shift Thursday, her brother said. Reginald Bonds described his slain sister as a “hard worker” who always volunteered to work extra hours and the holidays. Bonds had been engaged for about a year, he said. “We talked to each other on the phone everyday,” Reginald Bonds said. “The last thing I said to her was, ‘Happy Thanksgiving Sister Love.’ She was a beautiful, loving person.” Chicago Police Department Office of News Affairs (312) 745-6110 Fax (312) 745-6999 From: Martin Indyk [MINDYK@brookings.edu] Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2011 1:06 PM To: mayor_re@rahmemail.com CC: Loredo, Shannon Subject: FW: Your Session at the Saban Forum Attachment(s): "Emanuel-Dery-Memo-1.doc", "Saban Forum 2011 Agenda -Final.docx", "Saban Forum 2011 Participants.docx" Dear Mr. Mayor, We're looking forward to hosting you at the Saban Forum on Saturday, December 3. I have attached a memo that outlines what we have in mind for your session, as well as the full agenda for the Forum and the confirmed list of participants. Please note that your session will be at the Folger Shakespeare Theater. You will be on stage with Ari Shavit and Arye Deri. Shavit will moderate. He is the leading commentator from Ha'aretz, but a centrist in his political views and not interested in playing gotcha politics. Dery is the former leader of the Shas religious party. He will run in the next elections, either as head of the Shas Party or leading his own party. Recent polling indicates that if he ran on his own ticket he would pick up nine seats, potentially making him a king-maker in the next elections. He's probably hinting at running independently to pressure Rav Ovadia Yosef to appoint him as head of Shas. He's very smart, thoughtful and articulate. Only problem is he doesn't speak English. So we'll be doing simultaneous translation. I apologize in advance for any awkwardness that might cause. After your session, we will have dinner in the old library at the Folger where you'll be seated with Haim and Cheryl. We'll start at 7.15 and be through by 10.00pm. You're most welcome to attend any of the other sessions. Our old boss Bill Clinton will be speaking on Friday evening and attending the dinner beforehand. Hillary will speak on Saturday afternoon. Many thanks for agreeing to do this. Looking forward to seeing you. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me +1 202 413 2364. Martin MEMORANDUM TO: Rahm Emanuel Arieh Dery Ari Shavit (moderator) FROM: Martin Indyk SUBJECT: Saban Forum 2011 Session: Occupy Wall Street! Occupy Rothschild Boulevard! The Social Justice Agenda in the United States and Israel Thank you very much for agreeing to participate in Saban Forum 2011. When: Saturday, December 3, 2011 7:15-8:15pm Where: The Folger Shakespeare Library 201 East Capitol Street, SE Washington DC As you consider your participation in this session, we wanted you to have a sense of our thinking about the overall context of your discussion. The Saban Forum is designed to provide a unique opportunity for Americans, Israelis and other international actors to engage, once a year, in a private, candid, high-level dialogue about the issues that confront the United States and Israel in the Middle East. We have brought together a group of people with diverse experience and expertise to conduct this dialogue at a time of transition and turmoil in the region, and social unrest in Israel and the United States. The purpose of your session is to discuss and shed light on the broad social disquiet in United States and Israel, and what needs to be done about the social contracts in each country. With this in mind, I have drafted some questions you may want to consider in formulating your remarks: -- When you look at the turmoil and social unrest in your countries and around the world, what should governments do to address demands for greater social and economic justice? -- Given budgetary constraints, are there innovative ways for governments to address these problems? -- For Rahm: How will the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements impact the 2012 elections? Is there anything this or a future president can do to ameliorate the structural problems that have generated chronic, long-term unemployment? -- For Arye: Does the social justice movement in Israel represent a sea-change in Israeli politics? Is the secular Left finished or about to experience a resurgence? How do you see religious parties faring in the next Israeli elections? Because we have a full program, we will be starting this session promptly at 7:15pm. You will be seated on stage at the Folger Shakespeare Theater. Ari Shavit, columnist for Ha’aretz, will conduct the session as an informal conversation. He will start the conversation with some broad opening questions and then help steer the dialogue with follow-on questions and then open the floor to questions from the audience. Please note that we will be using simultaneous translation for this session. The Chatham House Rule applies to all dialogue sessions of the Saban Forum, which means that your remarks will be strictly off-the-record. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 202-413 2364 or email me at mindyk@brookings.edu. “Strategic Challenges in a New Middle East” Current to November 28, 2011 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1 The Brookings Institution 1775 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 2:00–3:30 PM Discussion with Shibley Telhami on Israeli Public Opinion with Nahum Barnea, columnist for Yedioth Ahronoth Moderator: William Galston, Senior Fellow in Governance Studies, The Brookings Institution. 5:30–7:30 PM Book release reception for The Lingering Conflict: Israel, the Arabs, and the Middle East, 1948-2011 by Itamar Rabinovich, Charles Bronfman Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Saban Center at Brookings Opening Remarks: Martin Indyk, Vice President and Director of Foreign Policy, The Brookings Institution FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2 Willard Intercontinental Hotel 1401 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 5:00 PM Reception Ballroom 6:00 PM Welcoming Remarks Haim Saban, Chairman, The Saban Forum Keynote Address: Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta Discussion moderated by Kenneth M.

We look forward to meeting the Mayor at Lookingglass Theatre in the Water Tower Water Works, from 9:15 - 9:45 a.m. on Friday, December 2. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Jenny Jenny Bienemann With many thanks for the City of Chicago's support, Lookingglass respectfully requests a meeting with Mayor Emanuel on Friday, December 2nd at the earliest opportunity in the morning. Participants from Lookingglass will include Executive Director Rachel Kraft, Artistic Director and Ensemble Member Andy White, and Ensemble Member David Schwimmer. The objective of the meeting is to thank the Mayor for the resolution provided by the City of Chicago in honor of Lookingglass receiving the 2011 Tony Award, his attendance at THE LAST ACT OF LILKA KADISON with Lookingglass Board member Paul Gray, and his advocacy with the Righteous Persons Foundation. Ensemble member David Schwimmer is particularly interested in connecting with Mayor Emanuel, and looks forward to providing updates on Lookingglass' 2011-2012 Season, an event Mr. Schwimmer is hosting in his home, and opportunities for the Mayor to connect with Lookingglass production in 2012 and beyond.

The primary purpose of this is so he can say thank you to you for the advocacy with Spielberg's foundation. He and Rachel, the executive director typically did meet with Mayor Daley at least once a year during the years we've been city tenants to foster a healthy relationship between the company any the city. Schwim (as he is affectionately known) is also having a dinner party in January at his LA home to cultivate more relationships for the company out on the coast and it would be cool if you wanted to send that message your brothers way. We'd love to have him attend. It is January 17th. I am also reaching out to David Geffen and others about it. Dinner was fun. Let's do it again.

Sixty years ago, the American electrical grid, with its crossing overhead lines and billowing coal plants, operated at an overall efficiency of 33%. That means that for every unit of raw energy we mined, drilled or farmed, only one-third of it ended up in our lights, our washing machines and our radios. Today our grid’s efficiency sits at—33%. Think about how quickly our technology has raced ahead during these past 60 years. Yet our energy grid, the backbone on which all of this gadgetry runs, hasn’t improved one bit. How is such a thing even possible? It’s possible because the grid, like most things related to U.S. energy, remains centralized and rigid. In an age when many industries see small revolutions every year thanks to the Web, our energy grid remains unable to adjust to smarter technologies or smarter policy. Just as we generate our electricity from central, faraway sources—old, inefficient plants—we expect our energy policy to be shaped by one centralized, faraway body—Capitol Hill. This clearly doesn’t work. We will not improve upon our energy infrastructure or our consumption practices without dispatching this paradigm. Perhaps the foremost problem with relying on a centralized policy is the simple fact that we don’t actually have one. Washington has demonstrated that establishing effective national energy policy isn’t only hard—it may also be impossible. The evidence begins with President Nixon, who was the first to confront the rising specter of foreign energy dependency, and continues through the time served by Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush II and now President Obama. Each of these presidents wanted to fix our energy problems from Washington, and all of them met with intractable roadblocks. From hardliners on both sides of the aisle to well-funded lobbyists, the impediments are numerous. Even when policy in Washington is actually created, it’s prone to being hijacked by special interests. Earlier this year, a bill to end $21 billion of incentives for large oil companies was defeated by filibuster in the U.S. Senate. The 48 senators who blocked the bill, it turns out, have received a total of $21 million in oil contributions, compared with $5 million for the senators who voted for the bill. The oil industry, in fact, has made $1.2 billion in political contributions since 1998. The subsidies in question would have been taken away from the top five oil companies—a group that will make more than $100 billion in profits in 2011. Leaving energy policy to Washington, which means no policy at all, has contributed to what is perhaps America’s greatest shortcoming in this realm. its reliance on foreign-energy sources. We currently source energy from almost anybody who will sell it to us, often from people who don’t like or support us. This strategy complicates our role as a peacemaker and tangles our foreign policy into hypocritical knots. Americans watched with the rest of the world as revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya successfully ushered in the promise of democracy. While most of us welcomed these developments, we also watched the price of oil—a figure determined on the trading floors of New York—jump day after day as Libyan supply disruptions were priced in. The stock market indexes crawled with uncertainty. The markets wondered, Were these revolutions good things for our economy? That ambiguity well sums up our conflicts of interest. The United States must seek a future with no such divergences. Whether you’re a fan or not, Al Gore had it right in 2008 when he said: “We’re borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the planet. Every bit of that’s got to change.” Like many aspects of our economy today, the sheer size of the problem means we can no longer ignore it, and frankly, we no longer have the money to buy our way out of it. So, there are two ways to look at this. First, we have to accept some tough medicine we’ve thus far resisted. Second, we have to unleash our innovative, can-do energy (we still have an endless supply of that in America— we just have to drill a little deeper to find it) to focus on new solutions that fit the world of today. First, the medicine: It should begin with a larger gasoline tax. This not only reduces consumption, but it also makes alternatives more attractive to consumers, which draws investors and money. I’m not the first to advocate such a thing, of course. Some states are, in fact, making it happen today— primarily because they desperately need the revenue and not because they’ve adopted an enlightened energy policy. But it’s happening. Second, we should lock in a floor price—perhaps $4 is the right number—and never let the price of gas fall below that. That creates a stable investment environment and will encourage the creation of new business. What’s more, the extra benefit comes when the price of oil trends down, creating excess tax revenue we can put toward building out a greener infrastructure that includes high-speed trains, better mass transit, and more solar and locally produced power (the key to fixing that 33% efficiency problem). Measures like a gas tax won’t be easy to swallow. As President Jimmy Carter said in 1977, “Our decisions about energy will test the character of the American people.” I, for one, hope that’s not true, but this was a challenging problem even then. The centralized nature of our energy program goes beyond policy. We rely on an energy infrastructure built on coal-fired power plants that disseminate power across thousands of miles of old, inefficient wires. Luckily, ending this paradigm has been made possible by new technology. Solar panels have become affordable and efficient alternatives to grid reliance. I’m the cofounder of a company, SoCore Energy, that makes it easy for retail businesses to save money and do the right thing for the economy and the environment. SoCore’s solar panels snap together like Legos and don’t need to be nailed down. Two people can cover a large roof in one day. Four Fortune 500 retailers, the University of Illinois, and the cities of Evanston and Naperville, Illinois have all easily and cheaply lessened their grid dependency with SoCore installations. Innovation will continue to make solar more accessible to everyone. Sun-prospecting homeowners will soon be able to check their roof’s solar capacity for free thanks to the work of a Web startup, Geostellar, that’s mapping the solar potential of the entire United States with incredible detail (yes, they know about that big, shading elm tree in your front yard and your new bedroom dormer). By spreading out our energy generation to hundreds of thousands or even millions of points across the country, we minimize electricity lost to aging infrastructure and improve the overall security of the grid. It’s hard to disrupt big chunks of the power generation when electricity is created on every roof. Decentralizing our grid will require dismantling our policy engine (in Washington, nobody fights for millions of little homeowner roofs). This is why state and local governments must take the lead. And some have. California’s energy policy, which calls for fewer emissions from cars, more solar energy and more efficient power generation, leads the way. The governor of Colorado, Bill Ritter, oversaw policy and legislation mandating that the state generate 20% of its power from renewable sources by 2020. By 2016, the solar industry in Colorado, a sunny place, will have created 16,000 jobs, addressing another critical issue on the policy front. In 2008, Oregon, Washington, California and British Columbia established the Pacific Coast Collaborative, which is focused on creating policies to encourage greener building codes and local, high-efficiency energy generation. On the East Coast, Massachusetts released its Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2020, which aims to reduce the state’s emissions 25% by 2020. The state has already increased its installed solar photovoltaic systems twentyfold since 2007. In Chicago, my home town and a place National Geographic calls America’s Green City, the nowretired mayor Richard M. Daley revamped the city’s building codes, requiring that new civic buildings be certified at least LEED Silver and be topped with green roofs, which are made up from soil and plantings that reduce runoff and serve as excellent insulation. More than 4 million square feet of green roofs now stretch across the city. Chicago’s new mayor, Rahm Emanuel, is writing city policy that takes the next step, requiring the actual creation of green power. Emanuel recently announced that Chicago’s O’Hare Airport will install 60 acres of solar panels on its grounds. Groundbreaking stuff and great leadership. All local, all decentralized. Private industry shouldn’t wait for centralized policies, either, and some businesses aren’t waiting. Walgreens has demonstrated real vision, building more than 90 solar installations at its Ohio stores, many of which are already in operation, and Duane Reade, the East Coast pharmacy, just electrified its New York City fleet of trucks. Expect more of the same everywhere. GE thinks solar electricity its New York City fleet of trucks. Expect more of the same everywhere. GE thinks solar electricity will be cheaper than fossil power in five years. That changes everything. We don’t need a national energy policy to fix our problems. We’re better off without one, in fact. Solyndra has shown us that picking winners isn’t the job of Washington. Winning the energy game isn’t about planning the best path forward—it’s about allowing the entrepreneurs and engineers of this country to find the best path forward. We can’t possibly know where technology will take us. We should just make sure we stay out of its way. http://www.forbes.com/sites/glentullman/2011/11/22/why-we-dont-need-a-nationalenergy-policy/ Concetta DiFranco Public Relations Allscripts 222 Merchandise Mart Plaza Suite 2024 Chicago, IL 60654 312.447.2466 P 630.740.3152 C 312.506.1293 F concetta.difranco@allscripts.com www.allscripts.com A Connected Community of Health Matters…See why at www.youtube.com/allscriptstv From: Sent: To: emanuel.rahm Friday, December 02, 201111:49 PM Scott Davis I am trying to repeat the restructuring of our city colleges along the lines we discussed a few months ago ( not to different from your kentucky relationship).

Steinberg’s story is out (pasted below). It turned out well. It focuses on the state of Chicago’s aging infrastructure and the urgent need to fix and replace the water system throughout the city. It was a two-page spread that received really great placement and coverage. The dates for the Taste of Chicago have been announced. Stories noted the fact that it will be shorter (going from 10 days to 5 days) and that it will not take place over the 4th of July however many restaurants welcomed the change saying that the shorter time will allow them to focus on the festival while managing their restaurants. This will also allow for new restaurants to consider participating in the Taste. The Sun-Times wrote a very positive editorial about the new dates. The Sun-Times’ Frank Main did a story about the year-end crime numbers and the fact that they are down. Garry was on message saying that until there was no crime or killings in the city that his work was not done while highlighting the city’s efforts to institute a stronger community policing strategy and combat crime. Replacing city’s century-old water mains one $2.2 million mile at a time Water is the most democratic thing the city of Chicago does. Residents of the fanciest penthouse to the meanest flophouse expect clean, cold, Lake Michigan water to flow whenever they open a tap. Everybody pays the same: $2.01 per thousand gallons, whether at Navy Pier, next to the Jardine water plant, or every one of the 125 far-flung suburbs that buys Chicago water. At least until Jan. 1, when the price jumps to $2.50 per thousand gallons, the hike intended to pay for Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s ambitious 10-year plan of infrastructure improvements, a massive effort to correct years of neglect. Chicago is crisscrossed with 4,300 miles of water mains, from enormous trunk lines five feet in diameter to the little six-inch feeders that run down residential streets, a billion gallons a day coursing through the system. In the past, the city replaced these mains at the rate of about 29 miles a year. Which sounds impressive until you do the math: At that rate, each main is replaced once every 148 years. That’s bad. Bad because pipes do not last forever, particularly not in Chicago, with its 10-below-zero winters and 100degree summers. Buried iron pipes expand and contract, eventually cracking. Small leaks undermine the ground beneath the pipes, causing them to sag and snap. Inside, minerals from the water build up, like an artery choked with cholesterol — a process called “tuberculation” — so that a six-inch main only has the capacity of a threeinch pipe. Meanwhile, the outside corrodes, the walls grow fragile. How fragile? One length of water main replaced this fall on West Superior between Leclaire and Cicero was laid in 1894 and 1900. Crews couldn’t dig closer than two feet to the old main; any closer and the 40 pounds of pressure inside might burst the pipe. “The pressure of the ground is basically holding the pipe together,” said resident engineer Steven Skrabutenas. “Then you’ve got 600 gallons of water a minute flowing into your work trench. It doesn’t take long to fill up a hole, and you have to do an emergency shutdown and repair it.” About 20 percent — roughly 1,000 miles — of Chicago mains are a century old or older, according to the Department of Water Management. They must be replaced, at a cost of about $2.2 million a mile, including the cost of replacing the street. That’s why, in mid-October, Emanuel released his new budget calling for a boost in water bills, 25 percent now, then 15 percent every year for the next three years, the increase going to repair Chicago’s decrepit mains and sewers. “We need to invest in our infrastructure to maintain the quality of life for people across the city, protect our homes from flooding and our cars from sinkholes,” said Emanuel. “If we don’t invest and proactively make upgrades to our system, we will continually be forced to react and make emergency repairs at a greater cost to everyone.” The plan is to raise the rate of replacement toward 90 miles a year over 10 years. A monumental task, as can be seen by watching just one repair job — “Item 120” — the installation of 1,974 feet of eight-inch ductile iron pipe along three blocks of West Superior. The first shovelful of dirt was turned on Sept. 29, with an exploratory hole dug to take a look at what’s down there — you can’t just start digging on a city street, which conceals not only water and sewer pipes, but also gas mains, AT&T cables and buried electric lines. You have to figure out what’s where. “Everything is records,” explained Skrabutenas, who carries around a little orange notebook filled with his meticulous engineer’s handwriting. “Everything I got is here in record books. I got the pipes. I know where everything is at, what we did, how many feet, the pieces, the locations, what parts I use.” He took out plans, large technical maps of the underground as Chicago believes it to be. He uses them as a guide but also constantly updates and fills in gaps — about 5 percent of the network under city streets isn’t recorded, because the information was lost, set down wrong, or never noted to begin with. Sometimes things show up that aren’t supposed to be there or are there but unmarked. A gas line that’s labeled inactive might turn out to be live. “I’ll give you an example,” Skrab-utenas said, spreading the plans across the hood of his truck. “This is the location of each house. This is No. 3042. From the line, the location of this is supposed to be 166 feet. I verified and saw the line, and it’s not, it’s 159 feet. So I upgraded it to tell them how it really is. . . . You want to check everything.” Infrastructure is in three dimensions, so they need to know not only where these lines are, but also how deep. “Do I have room to go over, or do I need to do something else?” he asked. “I want to verify where it is so it all works.” Once they knew what was under West Superior, work began in early October, with a machine crushing the pavement in a four-foot-wide stretch along the south curb, and then a backhoe digging a trench five feet deep — water mains in Chicago must be at least that deep or they’ll freeze in winter. The trench is dug by a track excavator with a two-foot-wide bucket. Backhoe operator John Dombroski worked a joystick, following the hand signals of his “top man” standing at the lip of the trench. “I won’t even watch the bucket, I watch his hand,” said Dombroski. “He’s so good he could comb your hair with the teeth of the bucket,” added Skrabutenas. An additional benefit of Emanuel’s plan, besides critical infrastructure improvement, is the addition of 1,800 construction jobs — both at the water department and its contractors and suppliers. Working a water crew is a good job but at times a tough one. Because water goes everywhere in the city, water crews find themselves in places where they’re happy to be inside a trench. “This isn’t the best place to work, danger-wise,” said foreman Stan DeCaluwe, noting that most at risk are the area residents. “The last site, two men were shot on the corner about 120 feet away from where we were digging.” But gunplay is a rarity. “Mostly our problems are theft on the job site,” said DeCaluwe. Tool lockers get broken into. The new main is eight inches in diameter — to increase the capacity to larger buildings that might be built in decades to come. The new pipes are 18 feet long, and their manufacturer suggests they’re good for 300 years, coated with a protective resin outside, wrapped in plastic and lined with concrete. They are also ductile iron, which has a little more give. “You’ve got more forgiveness,” said Michael Sturtevant, deputy commissioner for engineering services. One of the more surprising aspects of the process is that the new main was set in place, then covered back up with dirt. “You can’t leave these trenches open,” said Skrabutenas. “I can’t shut this block down for a month.” The new main was pressure tested — 100 pounds for two hours, to check for leaks, then flushed with chlorine for 24 hours, to sanitize it and prevent bacteria from being introduced into the system. On Nov 17, after 34 days of work, service was transferred to the new main, house by house, and the old main was shut off. It’s left in the ground — there’s no point to remove it. From now until April, the water crews will focus on leaks. “If something is going to fail, typically it fails more often in the wintertime,” said DeCaluwe. “Everything’s hampered by cold weather.” From: Reidy, Jeanne Sent: Friday, January 06, 2012 12:55 PM To: Faulman, Mike Subject: FW: Greetings from Chicago!!

Importance: High Attachment(s): "HITECH Graduates 2012.ppt", "VT HITECH Program.pptx" Dear Mayor Emanuel: I am excited to continue our public/private partnership in a way that creates jobs here in the U.S. and specifically in the Chicago area. As we’ve previously discussed, there’s no issue more pressing than getting Americans back to work and Allscripts is proud to do its part by supporting your latest initiative to create meaningful, high-tech jobs in our local community. Specifically, we are prepared to train 100 new graduates and equip them to achieve their Health Information Technology (HIT) certification, while transitioning them to full-time employment – working in roles within our Services, Support, and Development organizations. What’s most meaningful is that our training and subsequent certification will position the new graduates for success inside Allscripts or wherever they choose to work within healthcare IT, a fast-growing and long-term employment sector. For your reference, when they transition to Allscripts, they will begin at a base of $35,000$40,000, with full healthcare benefits, and receive their first review six months later. These jobs, once they are in the field, typically pay between $50-80,000 with one to two years of experience. In return, it is my understanding that the salaries for these 100 individuals will be paid by your office for the six months beginning when they start their training (most likely in the May timeframe). As a next step, I will have Celia Harper-Guerra, our Talent Acquisition Leader, reach out to your office to work with your team on finalizing our plan. If you can email me the name of a contact, that would be great. I would also be pleased to announce this effort publicly as you see fit. I am also attaching two power points that highlight a similar program we just completed in Vermont. Click on the graduates one for sure. It’s fun to see the mix. Those 30 individuals began work this past Monday. Thank you again for reaching out on this important initiative. I’m confident our joint efforts will serve as a model for public/private partnerships that will create both opportunity and employment in Chicago and will increase our base of high-tech knowledge workers who will contribute to our global competitiveness.

Great job Mayor. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/03/the-city-that-works-even-betteremanuels-strategy-for-chicago-growth/253803/ The City That Works (Even Better!): Emanuel's Strategy for Chicago Growth To thrive, a city needs to collaborate with its suburbs. But bringing together the 14 counties surrounding Chicago will be a challenge -- even for someone as persistent as Rahm Emanuel. MAR 1 2012, 8:55 AM ET JAMES WARREN James Warren, a former reporter and editor with the Chicago Tribune, now writes for theChicago News Cooperative and the New York Times. Rahm Emanuel was sitting with David Axelrod at a Chicago Bulls game Tuesday night, with Axelrod frequently checking his smart phone for Republican primary results while taking in a sport ruled by a 24-second shot clock. Pro hoops places a premium on quick, short-term tactics and execution -- the sort that most in the political sphere reflexively mirror. It was thus a pleasant surprise to learn Wednesday morning that Emanuel, Chicago's hyperkinetic mayor and an obsessive when it comes to winning the next news cycle, was unveiling the sort of long-term economic strategy that is rather foreign to most elected officials. "A Plan for Economic Growth and Jobs" is World Business Chicago's, a group hand picked by Emanuel, first run at devising a serious regional growth plan -- don't forget that key word, regional -- with the help of smart Emanuel buddies at the Brookings Institution, McKinsey & Company, and a Chicago planning group, Metropolis Strategies. Hey, you didn't figure that Emanuel would enlist the esteemed Bain & Company, did you, given the current political landscape? A by and large impressively frank report assesses the strengths and many weaknesses in the economy of the thirdlargest city, which by some academic accounts is now the fifth or sixth most important global city economically, after New York, London, Tokyo, Singapore and perhaps Paris. It thus inevitably offers lessons and warnings for the rest of the country. One vividly glaring reality: Chicago may kick butt when compared to most other U.S. cities, and indeed has been adding jobs lost during the recession, but last year "the Chicago region ranked 139th among the largest world metro areas in employment growth." Yes, 139th. A sophisticated discussion of growth is hard to find during the hyperbolic early stages of the presidential campaign. It's easier to bash corporate America for sending jobs overseas, raise doubts about the value of higher education, fence over Mitt Romney's view of the auto bailout, or to wear rose-tinted glasses and talk about magically creating lots more manufacturing jobs here even as lower-cost and more productive supply chains around the world are kicking our butt. If we did have a serious discussion, it could at least include debating the record and lessons of a December, 2010 "Global Metro Summit" convened in Chicago by the London School of Economics, Washington's Brookings Institution and Frankfurt-based Deutsche Bank. That gathering, which generated virtually no media attention, resonates in the new report. In clear and obvious ways, the new Emanuel primer for Chicago's -- and inherently America's -- economic future takes the play book from the conference and runs with it, especially by buying into the notion of metro regions, not cities alone, being the essential economic units competing in the global economy. In sum, that Chicago assemblage of hundreds of planners, public officials, philanthropists, educators, and business from around the globe laid out why America is quietly getting creamed as it offered intimate portraits of regional successes worldwide -- the likes of Barcelona, Seoul, Turin and Munich -- which have turned themselves around by thinking very long-term with a degree of regional cooperation generally foreign to us. What successful cities worldwide have done is to convene officials of local, state and federal governments and devise long-range plans for a region, including trying to revitalize traditional industries, sharply improving the skills of workers by improving technical opportunities in school systems, and generally moving to a green economy and constructing high-speed transportation networks. Those cities have often procured huge sums of money from both government and private investment coffers to improve infrastructure and create polytechnic colleges; invest in start-ups and create ongoing collaborations among private companies, researchers, government and venture capitalists. And they also made sure to build or revive downtown areas in ways alluring to an increasingly portable class of younger worker. It's a lot different than the generally self-defeating American penchant of defining development as poaching another guy's company. A perfect example has been how New Jersey and Wisconsin took out ads in Illinois to attract Illinois companies after the legislature passed a tax increase last year. It's myopic thinking, which is why the first Emanuel effort is to be applauded. The 14-county Chicago metro area, after all, would be the 20th largest economy if it were a country and is essential to the nation's future. It's an economy that has developed dramatically from the Rust Belt manufacturing icon of yesteryear and its strongest sectors are now finance and business services, wholesale and retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation and logistics. The region's inherent strengths are ample and include its central location, a world-class global logistics infrastructure, the ability to manufacture goods, a strong immigrant network and prominent universities. The report lays out ten strategies, including becoming a leading hub of advanced manufacturing, further enhancing its position as a leading transportation and logistics hub, figuring out ways for employers to better articulate their employment needs, making Chicago a far more enviable tourist destination and making life far easier for entrepreneurs. It concedes that certain sectors of the Chicago economy are underperforming, especially when it comes to small- and mid-sized firms. And while Chicago is third among U.S. metro regions in the total volume of exports, it lags behind peer cities in the percentage of goods exported, meaning, "We still serve too domestic a market." Further, it suffers from labor shortages when it comes to high-skilled workers, research and development spending and rates of productivity. Interestingly, the study notes how educational levels in Chicago surpass the national average -- 34 percent of the local population holds a bachelor's degree or above, compared to 28 percent of the U.S. population -- and its has a bevy of great academic institutions, including two of the top five business schools, at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. But the city of Chicago lags when it comes to the number of citizens holding a high school degree or above. That's a big problem as the skills levels needed for new jobs changes, with the biggest jobs losses of late laying out in construction and manufacturing, while the biggest gains were in educational services and healthcare. There's not just a seeming skills mismatch, there is also a "spatial mismatch," meaning that "firms and workers struggle to find and evaluate each other because jobs are not located near or within easy access to areas where workers with relevant skills live." A key question is whether Emanuel can help summon a regional political will to work together. After all, Illinois is notorious for an outrageous number of separate governmental units. Within the 14-county metro area alone, there are 1,723 separate units. It not only presents a regulatory nightmare but lots of inefficiency and an unwillingness of many units to seriously mull combining since so many individuals would lose their clouts, perks and, yes, jobs. But maybe, just maybe, some success can be achieved by the man I've tagged the Missile for the heat-seeking intensity of his approach to his new job. Somebody is going to have to cajole many other parties to buy into the notion of acting collegially, regionally, smartly, and bloodlessly. You need a combination of diplomat and data-driven force of nature. That's especially so since the report not only tries to offer many specifics about how its ten goals can be achieved but openly concedes the hurdles: Illinois' own disastrous fiscal mess, lousy public education, a sense of an onerous tax environment, the crazy fragmentation of government units and a possible lack of leadership in generating the funding needed for achieving longer-term initiatives. The task is rather more formidable than shooting a ball before a 24-second buzzer sounds. And rather more important.

While raising expectations can breed disappointment, as president Obama has found, it can also build momentum for even more-ambitious change. More than a year ago, i stood in a union hall on the near West Side and heard rahm give his election night victory speech. after the platitudes and self-congratulation, he turned unusually serious. “We have not won anything until kids can go to school thinking of their studies and not their safety,” he told the crowd. then he repeated it for emphasis: “We have not won anything.” rahm knew that gangs terrorize kids every day across broad swaths of the South and West Sides. he was aiming high and daring chicago to remember. ahm may have been a risky purchase, but chicagoans are lining up to buy him. last summer, his approval ratings from his private polls (leaked by him) hit 79 percent, and his polls show him down only about 10 points since then. So far, almost everyone—except members of the chicago teachers Union, the amalgamated transit Union, and the american Federation of State, county and Municipal employees and their backers—likes rahm’s performance. “rahm is what the city needs. You gotta have a tough manager,” former illinois Governor Jim thompson, a moderate republican, tells me, expressing a representative view of the downtown business community. Steve chapman, a conservative Chicago Tribune columnist who lambasted rahm when he was White house chief of staf, wrote a column last fall saying that so far there was little reason to criticize the mayor. i found this perspective common among my liberal friends, too. Don rose, a longtime voice of progressive chicago and a tough man to please, is concerned that rahm has no major anti-poverty plan yet, but says he’s doing a good job modernizing “slovenly government functions.” the good feeling will fade with various laps, feuds, and freak-outs to come. it always does. in May, the city will host the G8 and NATO summits, and protesters from around the world have promised a “chicago Spring.” rahm has already ahm Israel Emanuel was born in 1959, two years had to back of his tough new ordinances that would have after me, and as chicago Jews immersed in politics, increased ines for resisting arrest, a sign that he might lack we have superficially similar backgrounds.

So to help pay for the new water pipes, rahm will nearly double water rates, to $3.82 per 1,000 gallons, and he is ending a long-standing tradition whereby every religious institution and nonproit in the city (6,668 organizations in all) got water for free. When churches yelped, rahm showed his lexibility by letting the new rates phase in over three years and giving discounts for small institutions. he also deied his steamroller image by modifying his plans to shorten library hours and raise motor-vehicle fees. But even low-hanging fruit in the budget couldn’t be picked without confronting the old chicago Way. For decades, garbage collection and street cleaning were the responsibility not just of city hall but of 50 ward aldermen who each commanded his or her own trucks and street sweepers. Workers were picked up each day at ward oices, and the trucks literally turned around at the ward borders. Just by reorganizing these functions on a rational grid system, rahm says, he will save the city $60 million a year. tree trimming is next on his agenda. 76 april 2012 the atlantic rahm wants to end patronage not because it ofends his conscience but because it is costly and ineicient. all departments are moving to performance pay, and managers will be held accountable for bloat. in his irst budget, rahm eliminated 500 middle- and senior-management positions. the mayor sees Darwinian public-private contests as a way to drive eiciencies. he is staging a highly publicized “managed competition” between chicago’s Department of Streets and Sanitation and private but unionized irms like Waste Management, to determine which does a better job picking up paper, plastic, and glass for recycling. rahm was delighted that the city recycling workers, anxious to keep their jobs, suddenly experienced nearly zero absenteeism and sharply improved productivity. this performance competition for contracts will be replicated in other areas soon. to the consternation of labor, the mayor refuses to pay what he calls a “public-employment premium,” by which he means he won’t pay higher than market rates for services that happen to be performed by government employees. So far, rahm’s bigger budget hurdle is the state of illinois. his brainstorm last year was a city-owned casino, which could eventually generate several hundred million dollars in revenue. it’s cheesy, but the logic is appealing. Why lose all that money to suburban and indiana-based casinos? the project has been slowed by squabbling with Governor Quinn, who objects to the part of the deal (included for the beneit of downstate legislators) that would allow slot machines inside those temples of rectitude known as racetracks. ne day at a irehouse (i agreed not to disclose which one), rahm gets into a vigorous discussion of pensions, the most burdensome issue for cities and states across the country. the iremen are upset that they’ve paid in all these years and the city hasn’t fulilled its promises. “if i were you, i’d be as pissed of as you. We signed not one, not two, but multiple contracts all reasserting the same thing,” rahm says, implicitly damning the bargains Daley made. But then, hands on hips, he looks them in the eye and says, “here’s the deal.” he reminds the iremen that, as he said straight-up during the campaign, he would have to raise property taxes by 90 percent just to cover police and ire pensions, and there’s no way he’ll do that. So chicago, like other cities, should begin to shift toward a system where everyone on the public payroll can choose to stay in the pension plan with a higher employee contribution or move to a 401(k) with a more generous employer match than ofered in the private sector. “if this was chicago tool and they didn’t pay into their pension, i bet there’d be a whole lot of people in the federal penitentiary,” says one ireman. rahm tells them that’s wrong. “a lot of companies go bankrupt, and it’s a forced reduction, mandated by the judge. i’m actually trying to negotiate it, okay?” he urges them to support a deal now, when they have leverage. “i believe these are life decisions,” he says calmly. the ireman who has been giving him the hardest time says: “Whether i agree or disagree, everyone appreciates you coming here.” On explosive issues like pensions, rahm hopes he’s found O a third way between solidarity with labor and war against increased the pressure for progress toward a settlement. at it. “You’ve noticed i don’t have any of Ohio’s or Wisconsin’s a press conference at Mccormick place last fall, i watched problems,” rahm says to me, referring to backlashes in those rahm bask in the glow of the deal: “this is the worst news for states against conservative governors who took on organized Orlando and las Vegas!

Included in the $7.2 billion package is energy efficiency work, runway expansion at O’Hare Airport, replacing crumbling sewer and water systems, 2,000 miles of repaved streets, and the creation of 180 acres of parks. Mayor Emanuel has proposed the creation of public-private partnerships through a new Chicago Infrastructure Trust to help finance the projects. In response Marcia Hale, President of Building America's Future, issued the following statement: “Mayor Emanuel’s proposal demonstrates visionary and common sense leadership. Everyone knows that our nation’s infrastructure is crumbling, putting citizens at risk and hurting economic competitiveness. We must now determine how best to maximize taxpayer investment. Establishing the Chicago Infrastructure Trust to help finance repairs and modernizations is a sound and effective approach to improving Chicago’s quality of life and economic prosperity. “The U.S. Senate recently approved a transportation bill (MAP-21) that includes several provisions making it more difficult for states and cities to continue to innovate and partner with the private sector. BAF supports MAP-21, but we have serious concerns over several provisions that would erect barriers to states and cities seeking to collaborate with the private sector. This is not the time to stymie creativity, and we urge Congress to drop those provisions so that initiatives such as the one being proposed by Mayor Emanuel are not hindered. “Mayor Emanuel’s proposal illustrates the need to protect the ability of states and cities seeking new solutions to infrastructure funding challenges. His actions today show leadership and creativity in addressing the growing crisis posed by our crumbling public infrastructure. Chicago has always been at the forefront of change and ingenuity and “Building a New Chicago” will generate economic development that can revitalize and improve the city’s infrastructure for future generations.” Building America's Future Educational Fund (BAF-EF) recently released a new report - "Falling Apart and Falling Behind" - comparing the transportation infrastructure investments in the U.S. with those being made by our economic competitors. The report includes a series of recommendations to policymakers; chief among them is to develop a national infrastructure strategy for the next decade that makes choices based on economics, not politics.

We are on your side and want to do what we can. I'm aware that the police superintendent does not want to meet with me or our program. We still want to help, and can do so even without this meeting, because I agree with what you said at the film event – we are two sides to the same coin - each approaching the problem from a different angle. We are just an additional way in. Speed limit signs and seat belts both help reduce traffic fatalities. Nobody would argue for just one way to stop deaths. It is not an either/or situation. We've designed and are running a program demonstrated effective by extensive U.S. DOJ, and also C.D.C./Johns Hopkins University independently funded and independently performed studies - shown to stop retaliations by 100% in 5 of 8 communities, with a direct statistical relationship between interruptions done and killings reduced, and with a demonstrated effects on reductions in killings in neighboring communities as well (usually the case with public health interventions). Our work also changes the thinking of highest risk people we have not even directly interacted with (norms change). Violence was decreasing until mid year last year, and we were cut back by 50% for last 6 months of the last year. We are coming back but could do more. We are also designing new parts of the intervention, but right now the issue is of coverage. Our coverage in Chicago is only 30% of the areas with the statistically calculated need. The work we're doing is being recognized and is in demand nationally and internationally - but we know the situation in Chicago most intimately and in almost every neighborhood. Our coverage being still only 30 percent is very good news because there is an opportunity to do more with little need for changes. The last administration chose to not make full use of this although the Tribune referred to us by saying “the solution is right under our noses.” Same for the other papers, foundations, etc. The press and many others in the city are reaching out to us more and we want to coordinate closely with you to stop these killings – and make it all work. Summary: we can help a lot more and desperately want to. Although it could be useful to have a meeting with the Superintendent, it is not necessary to our helping stop more killings. Can we discuss?

Rauner Subject: Thoughts on Mondays 's School Meeting First, you are THE MAYOR. You are past the point of needing to prove to anyone that you are moving faster than your predecessor. We all know that even though we all respected him as you did. Second, the CPS proposal is a very significant proposal, the clearest most decisive that I have seen. For the first time we have goals and they make sense. Third, we all concede the soundness of your observation that the union negotiations trump the hand for a while. Do give us clear signals on how you want us to help and who we treat as being in charge of any private efforts to help. You know many people better at this than most of us. Fourth, we all seem to agree that Jean Claude needs a mini-Rahm to create accountability for his plans. Mini-Rahms are hard to find and maybe a contradiction in terms. Fifth, your three private funding efforts, One Chicago, Infrastructure, and soon schools are likely to stumble into each other since the "usual suspects" are on all three lists. You may need to give more thought to how much you wish to raise from whom for each effort. Personally I think the proposed school effort needs $300-$350M itself. Not crazy but serious dough. And finally, while tabby cats compared to your political friends and foes, the various school reform group leaders are still cats and they herd poorly. Getting them together will require a very specific mandate. Bruce and I will not wait. We will be meeting with others to try to pull them together.

I wanted to follow up on the first issue we discussed today and I’ll send you a follow up email on the other two shortly thereafter. One of the fastest growing companies in our portfolio is called Enerkem. In simple terms, they take garbage and run it through a thermo-chemical process at a landfill site, and turn it into ethanol fuel. The process does not burn anything and is quite clean. This has three big advantages for cities: 1. it dramatically extends the lifetime of existing landfills 2. the system produces transportation grade ethanol 3. every site they build provides 100 short term union construction jobs and 50 long term jobs (typically for building trades). Waste Management is the largest investor in the company. They have one site operating outside of Montreal and are completing a second site in Edmonton, Canada. They will construct a third site in Mississippi later this year. Because we're a major investor, they have reached out to us regarding which US cities they should approach first. They’re looking at a number in California and I have suggested that they look at Chicago. We have recommended Chicago because you're: 1) business friendly; 2) environmentally focused; 3) a very large market. Would you or someone on your team be willing to take a call from Tim Cesarek, the SVP of Business Development? Thanks.

Protesters, anarchists and police are all planning for a week of confrontations in the streets. [11/16/11] The last time an international event in the U.S. caused the kind of unrest that we forecast for Chicago was the "Battle in Seattle" that occurred during a World Trade organization meeting in 1999. It included flash/bang grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets, and an overnight curfew. [11/16/11] We can expect tens of thousands of protesters expected to make their voices heard during the May meetings between members of the G8 and NATO. [12/14/11] By some estimates there were 10,000 protesters in Toronto. They were not pleased that the main designated protest zone was a park almost two miles from the summit meeting site. We can expect that in Chicago. [2/21/12] Reports from Pittsburg claimed that the security perimeter in Chicago would shut down the city similar to what they experienced during the G20 in Pittsburg. "Economically it crushed us," Pittsburg merchant said. "Crushed every merchant down here." [4/10/2012] With the number of dignitaries attending the summits, it may very well shut down O’Hare.

As you know, more than a dozen policy memoranda have been issued over the past decade on CMS' interpretation of the Medicare Secondary Payor Act without any jurisdictional or due process challenge. Therefore, this Proposal can be issued by CMS Policy Memorandum and does not require either new legislation or even a new regulation. The headline from our Proposal is that we believe it could provide visibility on $9.9b per year in potential transactional fraud and recover an estimated $1.85b per year in unnecessary MSA costs. As our Proposal details, this reduction in costs and increase in transparency for CMS is accomplished with an offset payment model that ensures that the savings must exceed the costs and that neither the insurance industry, claimants, counsel, nor CMS would bear any additional costs. By the way, our estimates are based on the additional written responses of CMS' CFO, Deborah Taylor, after her June 22, 2011 testimony before the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce's Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. While not picked up by any significant news source, Ms. Taylor was roundly criticized by representatives from both sides of the aisle as well as the GAO's Director of Healthcare, James Cosgrove for general MSP related issues. As for the audience itself, our Proposal was addressed to Charlotte Benson, Deputy Director of CMS in change of the Division of Fiscal Integrity. She was chosen as her signature has appeared on the most recent policy memoranda on the MSP statute issued by CMS. In addition, her director supervisor is Ms. Taylor. Due to he criticism received at the June 22, 2011 hearing on enforcement of the MSP statute, these two individuals would likely combine awareness of the statute with authority to issue the memorandum that our Proposal would require. Ms. Benson has not returned two messages in follow up to our January Proposal. As a result, I would like to broker a meeting with CMS Deputy Director Charlotte Benson and CMS Acting Director and CFO Deborah Taylor. Rumor has it that they are besieged with other matters and legislative challenges so it is likely that we need the sponsorship of someone with sufficient juice to capture their attention. Thanks so much for your assistance. Please let me know if there is any other information that would be helpful in securing this meeting. All the very best, Ken Ken Paradis A M E T R O S.

Over the past decade, CMS has ho ored the A t’s a date to preser e the Medi are Trust Fu d and has been fair and even-handed with the industry it has so entirely impacted. As a result, CMS has gained a dramatic foothold in the settlement practices of the property and casualty i dustr i ge eral a d the orkers’ o pe satio i dustr i spe ific. If viewed from the standpoint of the life le of a orkers’ o pe satio lai , the o ditio al pa e t dis o er a d re o er process has created a mechanism to collect on past debt. Section 111 provides tremendous visibility on all exchanges concurrent with the settlement. Finally, the MSA outlines the expectation for expenditures into the future. I elie e, ho e er, that there is still a tre e dous gap to e addressed. While CM“’ e pe tatio for the use of future medical expenditures is clarified by the MSA, the actual use and maximization of those dollars is not transparent to CMS. Ensuring that the MSA dollars are spent on MSA-approved treatments is difficult to do when an estimated 96% of MSA recipients self-administer and officials informally relay that less than 1% of those individual beneficiaries are providing annual reporting to CMS. Furthermore, even the most fastidious beneficiary who reports according to CMS dictates does not have the leverage to maximize their prescription drug and treatment dollars. I. PROPOSAL As an extension of the recent efforts by Congress, the GAO, and CMS to safeguard the viability and improve the savings realized by the Medicare Trust Fund through the Medicare Secondary Payer Act, CMS should mandate and define professional administration on all Medicare Set Aside arrangements. As the balance of this document details, this will provide transparency and billions in savings to the benefit of all constituencies. A. FEATURES OF PROPOSAL. We propose the following features to maximize the positive impact of this Proposal.      Offset to Ensure Savings for Beneficiary and Remove Any Additional Costs for Carriers or Counsel. Such professional administration can be offset by a maximum of 5% of the gross proceeds paid out of the MSA on an annual basis so long as the administrator demonstrates a matching, aggregate 7.5% savings over self-pay medical treatment and retail, over-thecounter prescription drugs. This ensures savings for all beneficiaries without any loss of MSAs funds, does not cost the underwriter or counsel to either party, and benefits the Medicare Trust Fund each year. Application to Arising Settlements. For MSAs not yet funded, such professional administration services must occur contemporaneously with the settlement and the funding of the MSA to secure the funds from the outset. Application Retroactively to Historical Settlements. For MSAs previously funded since 2001, the beneficiary must choose a professional administrator within six months of the effective date of the Policy Memorandum or forfeit the opportunity to prove proper exhaustion of their MSA funds. Mandatory Participation. The beneficiary can only opt out of such professional administration services chosen at the time of the settlement and creation of the MSA due to fraud, negligence, or treatment dispute with the professional administrator. The beneficiary must choose another professional administrator in the event of termination with the original beneficiary. Self-Administration is never an offer. Mandatory Reversionary Interest. Upon mutual consent as to the administrator, either party to the settlement can secure such services of a professional administrator. In either case, a reversionary interest in which the remaining MSA funds are returned to the primary payer rather than the estate of the beneficiary is required. [2]  Mandatory Reporting by Professional Administrator. In order to avoid adding an administrative burden to CMS, all current annual reporting requirements to CMS by current professional administrators are maintained with only one addition: the professional administrator would demonstrate the 7.5% savings over retail and over the counter costs. This uniform electronic reporting when combined with Section 111 pre-settlement data would enable CMS to use the data for predictive modeling and comparative analysis of the medical providers. B. BENEFITS OF PROPOSAL      Structure Ensures Savings. The interplay between the offset and the savings ensures that there are no circumstances in which the cost of the process outstrips the value of the savings. In fact, it ensures at least 2.5% of savings over the current system in addition to ensuring that every MSA dollar is spent on MSA approved treatments. Proper exhaustion of $9.9B. With MSAs that have already been funded, current CMS testimony is that 124,000 MSAs have been reviewed since November of 2004. With industry averages indicating that each MSA may have resulted in $80,000 in funding, another $9.9B may be available to regulate. These funds may have already been misspent. However, the funding mechanism of a percentage of the corpus inherent in this Proposal ensures that fresh money is not wasted if the MSA dollars have already been misspent. Savings for Beneficiary; Identification for CMS. Requiring professional administration on all MSAs including those previously funded not only realizes savings for all participants, but also focuses recovery efforts by identifying for CMS and its contractors those parties who have likely spent the MSA either without due care or fraudulently. Those who do opt in to the professional administration become the focus of investigation and review by CMS. Implementation Without Legislation. While the $1B in possible immediate recoveries does ot totall sol e the Trust Fu d’s ia ilit halle ge, it is sig ifi a t a d eas to i stitute. Instituting this program can be done by a CMS policy memorandum as all MSA policy has been created by CMS. There would be neither the need for statutory changes, nor the promulgation of regulations. More Data; Fewer Resources. Since CMS would be mandating administration and reporting by third parties, the savings on benefits would not require any new allocations of resources Connecting this new professional and may, in fact, increase existing efficiencies i . administration data with Section 111 data would provide correlations on beneficiaries and medical services providers not currently available without actual investigation by CMS personnel or contractors. [3]  Everyone Wins. Only the fraudulently-minded beneficiary would take issue with the basic features of this Proposal. All other parties including insurance underwriters, taxpayers, earnest beneficiaries, and counsel are advantaged by it. Thus, instituting this proposal should also garner bi-partisan support without any organized or legitimate opposition. Without reprising the entirety of the Proposal, I believe that by mandating professional administration with the features noted above CMS could:     Ensure that MSA dollars are spent on MSA services and, thereby, prevent the possibility of as much as $9.9b in misuse or fraudulent use of money meant to indemnify the Medicare Trust Fund that it may eventually be required to spend on such beneficiaries; Deliver at least $742 million (approximately 7.5%) in savings annually to maximize the value of the $9.9b in MSAs dollars currently available. If CMS extends this requirement to Class III, nonCMS-appro ed orkers’ o pe satio ases, the u er ould likel dou le to $ . per year; Provide this protection against fraud, increased savings, and governmental visibility, as well as remove issues like passing MSA dollars along in an estate without any additional costs to any party because the services would be provided from out of - - and for less than - - the aggregate savings; and, Achieve all of these savings and transparency to the benefit of insurance underwriters, taxpayers, beneficiaries, counsel, and CMS without anything more than a Policy Memorandum. II. BACKGROUND AND DETAIL A. SUMMARY BACKGROUND AND TIMELINE   1981 - Co gress e a ted the Medi are “e o dar Pa er A t M“P ii in order to preserve the fiscal integrity of the Medicare program. Basic Premise: Medicare should always be a se o dar pa er; a safet et o l a essed if pri ar i sura e o erage is ot a aila le. 1981-2000 – Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Ser i es CM“ uses the statutor super lie iii conferred by the MSP to collect past medical payments made by CMS for Medicare e efi iaries hile lia ilit i large ass torts ases are resol ed. These o ditio al [4] pa e ts re o eries are sought i large mass tort cases apparently because: 1) amount of recovery dollars available is high; and, 2) the visibility on all other cases is low.   2001 - GAO reportiv exposes a significant issue: Primary payers, carriers and self-insureds, are shifting the burden of lifetime coverage for future medical care by settling their lifetime exposure for medical treatment. Many beneficiaries realize a double recovery. If they are current Medicare beneficiaries they are provided treatment without regard to the settlement proceeds. Future beneficiaries are also permitted to do the same. The GAO i de tifies that orkers’ o pe satio o erage is here the ost leakage is o urri g to the tu e of $ B i orkers’ o pe satio a d duri g the de ade of the ’s alo e. 2001 to 2010 - The Medi are “et Aside M“A is reated i a d ith poli memoranda issued since then as the process of creating and calculating MSAs has evolved. Basic Premise: Carriers and self-insureds who are settling their lifetime exposure for orkers’ o pe satio lai s pro ide the urre t or future Medi are e efi iar ith a set aside fu d that ust e used o Medi are-covered treatments and prescriptions.    7/31/01, 4/22/03, 5/7/04, 10/15/04v - CMS issues minimal requirements of what must be done with the MSA, including minor guidelines for professional administration of the dollars. 2007 – Congress passes a sweeping reporting requirement as a tag-along to the annual SCHIP legislation for all lines of insurance whenever a claim is settled. CMS is close to full implementation for all lines of insurance. Unintended consequence: While legislation begins to provide tremendous visibility on past medical payments or o ditio al pa e ts to olle t a d detailed i for atio o the parties to the settlement, it does not provide any information about how future medical treatment is handled. 2011 – GAO reportvi published and presented as part of June 22, 2011 Hearing of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, addressed the current MSP process. B. SIGNIFICANT AND INCREASINGLY CRITICAL CHALLENGE The $489m cited for reimbursement to the Medicare Trust Fund in the June 22nd hearing refers only to recovery of past edi al pa e ts or o ditio al pa e ts . “e tio reporti g pro ises to increase this coordination of benefits and recovery effort. [5]  However, there is no meaningful method to track, verify, and ensure the proper spending of most of the future medical offsets arising from MSAs because it is estimated that 96% of these fu ds are self-ad i istered . As Chair a “tear s oted i the Ju e nd Hearing …the result is that CM“ o ti ues to pa for a i jur that as alread paid for a third part . A ordi g to De orah Ta lor’s ritte respo ses to a Ju e , heari g, ore tha $1.4B in Medicare Set Asides were approved in CY 2010 alone. In simple terms, $1.4B in fresh Medicare dollars are provided every year to preserve the Medicare Trust Fund by the insurance industry but without any visibility into 96% of those MSAs.    In June 2011, Thomas Bosserman, a CMS regional official, indicated that refusal of any Medicare benefits until the individual can prove proper exhaustion of their M“A is CM“’ primary tool of enforcement. This after-the-fact approach has five significant drawbacks: o The likely judgment-proof nature of the beneficiary may prevent meaningful recovery in the event of fraud, waste, and misappropriation o MSAs may be spent on the right things but at the wrong prices because the individual does not have the buying power to pay anything but full retail price o Post-exhaustion recovery is much more expensive regulation o Post-exhaustion refusal of treatment has politically perilous features because CMS would be refusing care to an injured beneficiary o Lack of clarity about statutory liability could lead to lawsuits between beneficiary, their attorney, insurance carriers, and their counsel. This would unnecessarily tax the court system and layer on transactional costs. than free pre-exhaustion Beyond the theoretical challenges, indications are that the recently terminated Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Contractor, the Chickasaw Nation Industries, may have permitted as many as 40,000 individual beneficiaries who have not proven proper exhaustion of their MSA and have still received Medicare benefits likely due to a lack of administrative resources. While this $1.4B is provided annually to current and future Medicare beneficiaries and intended to preserve the Medicare Trust Fund, CMS cannot currently identify or regulate how such funds are spent. [6] C. SAVINGS AND SOLUTION        As summarized previously, the key to rectifying all of the challenges listed above is a CMS mandate for professional administration of all MSAs with a maximum of a 5% annual offset from the MSA for either party to the settlement to pay for such administration. Along with this offset, mandate that the administrator document at least 7.5% savings on prescription drugs and medical treatment on an annual basis. Such a measure would not only mitigate fraud surrounding $9.9b in current MSA dollars in the system but also deliver at least 2.5% savings as well as serve all constituencies involved. CMS would gain transparency and valuable data on all activities on an annual basis, lose the administration costs associated with determining exhaustion and pursuing recoveries, avoid the political challenges associated with preventing Medicare treatment for an otherwiseeligible individual. Insurers, self-insured, and their counsel would gain a clear end to their liability for postsettlement, ongoing regulation of the MSA without incurring any additional costs because of the offset. They could also secure a meaningful reversionary interest in the MSA funds so that these dollars return to the system rather than become part of the proceeds of an estate. Beneficiaries and their counsel would also realize tremendous benefits. Professional administration would provide annual accounting to CMS and, therefore, avoids beneficiary risk for not being able to prove proper exhaustion of the MSA. Because of the 7.5% savings requirement combined with the 5% in maximum costs, the beneficiary receives the compounded benefit of at least 2.5% savings to extend the lifespan of their MSA as well as having all reporting and management of the MSA professionally administered. Medical providers can focus on providing care rather than coordination of benefits issues and the liability they may face under the MSP statute As with its several policy memoranda on other MSA features, such a mandate would not require a statutory change or the promulgation of a regulation. A simple, one-page memorandum from CMS would be sufficient to prompt change. In the interest of full disclosure, I do freely admit that I have an ownership interest in an organization that would be poised to pro ide su h professio al ad i istratio ser i es to the atio ’s arriers, self- [7] insureds, and individual beneficiaries. It is called Ametros Financial Corporation. I believe that this disclosure should counsel you to test the value of Professional Administration mandate rather than simply to dismiss it. While turning this Proposal into CMS policy would benefit my industry, it would also buoy all constituencies to the transaction as well as reduce costs and mitigate fraud that would benefit every American taxpayer. I trul hope that ou ill e plore this Proposal as a riti al a to o ti ue CM“’ ar h to ard full protecting the Medicare Trust Fund as a secondary payer so that its viability is extended further into the future. As you might imagine, I would relish the chance to meet with you and any policymakers you may wish to include.

FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF DIRECTORS AMETROS FINANCIAL i In this respect, CMS could borrow the scoring model in place for Part D Recovery Audit Contractors. These contractors audit less than 200 beneficiaries and score the benefits to Part D or the Medicare Advantage Provider.

Our inaugural event runs from August 15-17 this year (there are both pre and post events as well) and so I wanted to officially invite you to participate in the opening with me. It will run from 9-10:15 on Wednesday, August 15. The 5,000 attendees represent healthcare organizations from across the country and around the world (from Canada, England, Italy, and as far away as Australia and Singapore) as well as our partners who are some of the biggest technology companies in the world – Microsoft, Intel, Intuit and the like. So this is a big deal and a great opportunity for us to collectively showcase our home town. I’m envisioning that I would introduce you as “my friend, a great leader, and the Mayor of the City of Chicago” who’s going to help me kick off our conference. I’d invite you on stage so you could welcome our guests to Chicago. You would then have time to: 1. highlight why Chicago is the right place to host the conference 2. showcase some of the city’s hidden gems, and 3. share why you believe it’s the best city in the world (or certainly in the US) We are working on some creative ways to deliver a unique, surround-sound like experience with the Chicago skyline and potentially have you highlight -- in pictures -some of your favorite spots (must visits for our guests while they’re here). We’ll have three screens and a very cool environment for you to speak from. We want people to feel inspired and committed to coming back to ACE (and Chicago) for the next several years. If you or the Deputy Mayor could confirm that you’ll be able to join me at 8:45 am (in time for a 9am start) on Wednesday, August 15th, we’ll get connected with the right people on your team to work out the details. Thanks, Glen Glen Tullman Chief Executive Officer Allscripts 222 Merchandise Mart #2024 Chicago, IL. 60654 312-506-1262 P 847-226-7474 919-800?6050 Glen From: Magana, Jasmine Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 3:46 PM To: mayor_re@rahmemail.com Subject: test from coc to regmail 445 From: Mooney, Andrew Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 12:52 PM To: Spielfogel, David Subject: FW: Innovation Center Meeting See below. ________________________________________ From: John Anderson [johna@iit.edu] Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2012 7:35 AM To: mayor_re@rahmemail.com Cc: John Anderson; John Rowe; Craig Duchossois; Jeanne Arens; Mooney, Andrew Subject: Innovation Center Meeting Mayor Emanuel, I have spoken with our potential lead donor, and while he is still enthusiastic about and supportive of the Innovation Center, he feels it is premature to meet with you about the project.

From: Larry Levy [llevy@Levyrestaurants.com] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2012 8:39 AM To: mayor_re@rahmemail.com CC: Angelson, Mark Subject: FW: Forbes Dear Mayor Emmanuel: I thought you would enjoy reading this upcoming article in Forbes on Retrofit, one of the companies discussed when we were last together. “Retrofit is poised to make great strides in the quest to get our country back in shape.” Retrofit could be an excellence resource for Chicago’s police and firemen to improve their health. Best regards, Larry Healthcare Startups are Hot, and Chicago’s Retrofit is Blazing the Trail By Kelly Reid, Forbes In a board room 40 stories above the Loop, Jeff Hyman laid the facts bare. As I admired Chicago‘s skyline through 12-foot-high glass windows, I reflected on the lunchtime masses swarming the streets below. Statistically speaking, any given person I picked out of a crowd was more likely to be overweight than not. I’d heard this fact a dozen times before but Jeff, CEO of Chicago fitness startup Retrofit, explained the dire consequences of that number. 66% of our population is overweight and 95% of those who lose weight regain it within 12 months. Many have heard those statistics but most people can’t correlate the numbers with real-world consequences. Recent changes to insurance laws will introduce millions of previously-uninsured individuals to our country’s healthcare system, and primary care providers – the doctor you see for your annual check-up – are the first point of contact. In the abstract, this sounds like a net positive gain across the board. The newly-insured have access the care they need, primary care physicians get an influx of “customers” and our nation’s overall health should, in theory, improve. Suspending all notions of reality for the moment, this seems like a huge win for the healthcare industry. In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Our primary care physicians are already overburdened; wait times for appointments stretch on for months and introducing new patients into the system will only serve to exacerbate the problem. Doctors are also losing the incentive to take on new patients since the profitability of their practices continue to shrink. Insurance companies, Medicare and Medicaid are all putting on the squeeze and some physicians have moved to a ’boutique’ model to remain in business. These doctors do not take any form of insurance and only accept a small group of patients, whom they treat like VIPs. Those that can afford this level of service get access to a personalized healthcare concierge, and those that cannot will be bogged down in an overburdened and inefficient system. This quagmire that we call healthcare has spurred many into taking personal responsibility for their own well-being. People are beginning to realize that they alone are responsible for being fit and healthy. Many come to the natural conclusion that reducing the necessity of medical care is the best course of action. For some, the change comes when they realize their favorite shirt is getting tight around the belly. For others, it takes a brush with death or a grave warning from a physician. Whatever the motivation, more people are taking matters into their own hands but they generally lack the tools, information, resources and infrastructure to do so effectively. The price of obesity is increasing, a direct result of the aforementioned factors. Employers bear much of the burden of rising health care costs; The cost of premiums paid on behalf of their employees continues to increase. The law allows for a certain amount of ‘mark-up’ based on the employee’s weight, but this does not adequately compensate. While many companies value the well-being of their employees, it’s far easier to appeal to their bottom line. If a business can save money by raising the overall health of the organization, they’ll do it. Overweight employees cost their employers thousands of extra dollars per year, and with two-thirds of the country overweight the costs are staggering. The larger the organization, the higher the cost ( just don’t tell them that overweight employees average significantly lower salaries, the result of outright weight discrimination). When an entire market is in upheaval and business models are rapidly changing to adapt, there is money to be made. I met Retrofit’s CEO through Adam Koopersmith, an investor at Chicago‘s New World Ventures. Adam and I connected at Chicago TechWeek, brought together by a mutual interest in healthcare-related startups. As an investor, Adam is very keen on companies working in the personal healthcare space. Our country is getting fatter and as a result, the costs of care are going up. In New York City, hospitals are being forced to upgrade their infrastructure to support severely overweight patients. This is an extreme example of a systemic problem fueled by the obesity epidemic; an epidemic that will not be stopped by a well-intentioned “nanny state” that makes it harder to buy soda. Adam’s fund contains many companies in the personal healthcare industry. His thesis centers around the potential profitably of companies like Retrofit and Analyte Health that are enabling individuals to control their own health management. When individuals and employers alike can save money by being healthy, they become willing to spend money to make it happen and investors in the enabling companies stand to make huge gains. Retrofit is one of Adam’s portfolio companies, one that is poised to make great strides in the quest to get our country back in shape. The company launched in late 2011, accepting their first client in September and launching nationally in November. It grew out of Jeff’s personal struggles with weight. As most Americans do, he gained about 2 pounds each year from the time he was 30 years old. He tried everything he could think of but couldn’t prevent the typical yo-yo pattern of weight loss. His wife suggested a high-end health resort, where he stayed for a week and actually lost weight. These resorts are often cost-prohibitive even for the wealthy and do not provide any real support beyond the constraints of your time at the resort. Jeff realized he could extract the most effective parts of the resort model to reduce costs. He eliminated the geographical requirements by building a virtual team customized to each client, much as the resorts do. “One week doesn’t create behavioral changes,” Jeff said. ”People usually come back just as fat the next year.” Resorts, executive retreats, and other quick-fix options don’t generate lasting change. Learning to lose weight and keep it off depends on breaking old habits and creating new, healthy ones. This process can take months or years and involves a great deal of introspection and hard work that simply cannot take place over the course of a week. Retrofit’s business model is tailored towards busy professionals who are looking for permanent changes and can’t take a week off from life to go to “fat camp”. They are not catering to the lowest common denominator; the cost is considerably higher than a monthly gym membership and a full year’s commitment is required. Jeff likens their model to the University model; once you graduate, you’ll never need to go back. While some health clubs require a year commitment, the client’s level of engagement is up to them; they can can go as often as they like, do whatever they want, and if they want personal training they can expect to pay through the nose. Personal trainers have their benefits, but most people can’t afford to pay $50-$100 per hour. The monthly expenditure of a client training once a week can range upwards of $400 depending on when and with whom they train. Retrofit’s top-tier plan comes out to $350 a month, on par or below the cost of a gym membership and light personal training. As Brad Feld of TechStars says on his blog, “while it’s not inexpensive, if you look at the overall cost and what you get for it, it’s a great deal”. Brad is correct. Rather than a few hours with a personal trainer, Retrofit builds their clients a customized program led by a team of experts. Each is a masters-level practitioner in their respective field with a minimum of 10 years experience. A client’s team is comprised of four experts – a dietician, an exercise physiologist, a behavior coach and a program manager, all chosen from a stable of over 60 experts and selected based on the client’s needs and psychographic. They determine the client’s psychographic via a short quiz formulated by Northwestern University’s obesity expert Dr. Robert Kushner. Using Kushner’s method, clients check in weekly with their panel of experts via Skype video chat, which eliminates the need to pair clients with local coaches. The dietician helps break down and rebuild the client’s eating habits, including what, where and when they eat. 80% of body composition is determined by diet, and most people cannot exercise enough control in their daily lives to eat the way they know they should. Retrofit’s experts make a point to customize your program to your lifestyle and your dietician will take into account your schedule, home life and foods you genuinely like and dislike. During my big weight loss push of 2011, I was on the road almost every weekend. There aren’t a lot of top-tier restaurants on the Midwest interstate highways and I was forced to stop at McDonalds more times than I cared to admit. Since I was testing carbohydrate restriction, I figured out the most cost-effective way to consume enough calories when patronizing the golden arches. My meal of choice was 5 McDoubles, no bun, in a single large bowl. Sounds insane, but it kept me on track and I lost weight. While Retrofit’s dieticians would not likely recommend this particular solution, they will work with their clients to accommodate the challenges of their lifestyle. The second expert on the panel is an exercise physiologist. These coaches focus on the musculoskeletal system, metabolism and time-efficient exercises. Since many of Retrofit’s existing clients are busy executives, a “minimum effective dose” mentality is crucial. If the client only has 30 minutes to exercise during a lunch break, the physiologist will figure out the most efficient way to use those 30 minutes. If the client travels frequently, the expert will prescribe exercises that use little to no auxiliary equipment. The third expert in the client’s arsenal is a behavior coach. Behavior modification theory turned BF Skinner into a pariah, but his theories are quickly gaining credibility as people realize that applied game mechanics can easily make and break habits without an insidious “big brother” aspect. When I coach my friends and family in weight loss, the first concept I impart is, “the body stores the weight that the mind gains”. Retrofit’s behavior coaches understand this concept and ensure your mental framework is build correctly from the start. It’s really easy to be fat. The average American makes 226 food decisions each day. When, where, how much and would-you-like-fries-with-that are all part of this process and 59 of those decisions are related to what kind of food to eat. The vast majority of commercial food will make you fat or eventually kill you, and the misinformation around food is catastrophic. Kellogg, the maker of Frosted Flakes, has the audacity to preach the benefits of a healthy breakfast to children via an ostentatious cartoon tiger often seen engaging in athletic activity. A “serving” of Frosted Flakes is listed as 3/4ths of a cup, about enough to fit into an adult male’s cupped hand. It would take at least 2, probably closer to 4 of these “servings” to fill a cereal bowl and leave room for milk. Take a look at their nutrition information, which boasts an impressive 21:1:0 ratio of Carbs:Protein:Fat and 110 calories per serving, and remember to triple or quadruple these numbers. According to Mark Sisson’s Carb Curve, which I have personally verified during my own weight loss experiments, a nice big bowl of Frosted Flakes (part of this complete breakfast!) will contain about 80 grams of carbohydrates. Add in a cup or two of skim milk and we’re quickly approaching the 100 gram mark before lunch. It’s pretty easy to see how most of us can blow through the 150g / day mark and approach the 300g / day danger zone. Because of misinformation and audacious claims by large food advertisers, people are consuming utter garbage on a daily basis. Resisting temptation is very difficult, even for a disciplined dieter, and Retrofit behavior coaches help build habits and mental frameworks to make the battles easier. Combined with the game mechanics of Retrofit’s data-driven methods, clients can begin to correlate causes and effects while receiving positive reinforcement. Watching graphs go down and colors change from red to reinforcement. Watching graphs go down and colors change from red to green becomes addictive. According to Jeff, 95% of people who lose weight regain it, sometimes more, within 12 months and 99% regain it within 3 years. It turns out that I am the 1%. No, you don’t need to Occupy Kelly’s House – it’s not like that. My monthly average weight has been stable or downtrending for the last 3 years, putting me in that elite group of people who “kept it off”. I credit my success to “thought restructuring”, much like what Retrofit’s coaches help their clients implement. I cleared out all conceptions I had about dieting, health, exercise and fitness, sought out experts, poured over research, formulated experiments and build my own data-driven method. Most people aren’t nearly as obsessive and geeky as I am. That’s why Retrofit brings in a behavior coach; they can condense all the work I had to do myself into methods more accessible to the non-technical and non-obsessive. Retrofit’s fourth expert is a program manager, who is essentially an accountability coach. They get to know their clients on an emotional level – what motivates them, what demotivates them, why they break compliance and how they respond to different kinds of coaching. The program manager must toe the line between drill sergeant and supportive friend. Jeff calls it “hugging and kicking”. The accountability coach, along with the experts who rebuild the way you eat, drink, move and think, are the Four Horsemen of Fitness. They address the client’s needs holistically, are vetted by Retrofit, and their incentives are aligned with their clients’. If the client follows the plan but does not succeed, they are brought back for a second year at no cost. If they do succeed, the coaches receive a bonus. Retrofit’s data-driven model is what first drew me to them. My own datadriven model was almost entirely responsible for my success; watching my colorful graphs trend downwards became addictive, adding a game layer on top of my fitness endeavor. While I relied on self-reporting, Retrofit makes it even easier for their clients; a combination of a Fitbit and a Withings wireless scale handles all of the data gathering passively. Self-reporting is unreliable, but passive data gathering is very difficult to get wrong. They test all of the devices on the market and choose the ones that suit their program the best. Data is crucial for both accountability and compliance. Numbers don’t lie, and they help clients understand causality. Curating the data in a form the user can understand is crucial, as is selecting the right data. Daily body weight can fluctuate by 2-3 lbs in a given direction, the result of undigested food mass, water weight and many other factors. Retrofit focuses on a 10day average weight which provides a good basis for understanding vector and velocity. Busy people, especially executives, do not have the time or patience to sift through all of the noise to find a little bit of signal. The datadriven approach cuts out pseudoscience and the need for compulsive reading of Men’s Health Magazine. Data also helps the coaches catch weight regain early. There’s a point of no return once a client begins to gain weight. If caught early, much like any other disease relapse, it can be mitigated and reversed. A few 10-day cycles of weight gain can tip off the coaches who can then figure out exactly where the client is having trouble. Simple changes can often yield huge results so it might be as easy as finding out a client has been eating too much pasta for dinner each night. Combined with the “minimum effective dose” mentality, coaches can reverse the insidious trend without making life-shaking changes which often lead to a total abandonment of the program. “The most common personality type we see on the Retrofit quiz is All or Nothing, which explains why people routinely fail at dieting. Most Americans see health as black or white. If they can’t be a perfect cover model then they’ll eat whatever they want. You don’t need to be perfect to lose weight and losing just 10% of your weight yields a significantly lower risk of obesity-related diseases. Focus on getting things right 80% or 90% of the time. A series of small tweaks and iterative processes can yield huge results. Just do the basics over time, on a sustained basis, and you’ll get there”. – Jeff Hyman, CEO of Retrofit The coaches understand this and teach it out to their clients. When a client plateaus after a period of weight loss, the team can “audible” to a different playbook to break the plateau by changing the type and frequency of exercise and modifying nutrition goals. Unlike many new business models, Retrofit does not rely on a massive budget for a salesforce. They believe that a successful client is their best evangelist. Their research shows that the average person has a network of 30 people they interact with on a significant basis and, if two-thirds of those people are overweight there are 20 potential new clients seeing first-hand results. When I lost significant weight, I got a lot of questions about my methods. I took on two friends who needed to drop some pounds after they expressed interest and they’ve been following my methods successfully so it’s clear that the “successful client” model of advertising works. Data-driven weight loss is being fueled by cheap sensors, IP-enabled devices and a growing trend of individuals taking control of their own health. Going forward, Jeff imagines that data-driven fitness programs will evolve towards the mobile phone model in which the devices are free or heavily subsidized and subscription contracts generate profits. While a FitBit Ultra costs around $100 right now, the price of this and its competitors will continue to drop. They may even become integrated into mobile phones. Bathroom scales that connect to a home’s wireless network do far more than just display your weight. They can push a wide array of information directly to a company like Retrofit for processing and analysis. Above all, the data revolution is changing fitness by showing people that tiny, incremental changes can have far reaching effects. The average Retrofit client wearing a FitBit starts at around 2,000 steps a day according to the built-in pedometer. By the end of the program they average about 10,000. No special exercise program is required; a nice walk after dinner will suffice. I can account for the power of the FitBit because I wear one every day. As I pushed the elevator button in my apartment yesterday morning, I looked down at my hip and saw the innocuous little device protruding from my pocket. Ever the gamer, I decided I needed to take the stairs just to make the little flower on the screen grow taller. Though it sounds moronic, the game mechanic worked because I took the stairs again today. The combination of applied game mechanics, big data concepts, passive reporting, a team of highly qualified coaches and a program formulated by experts in the obesity field make Retrofit a 5-tool threat in the personal fitness industry. Led by an experienced CEO and funded by top-tier VCs and angels (including Brian Spaly, CEO of Trunk Club whom I covered in my previous column) the stars seem to be aligned for Retrofit. They’ve raised $2.7 million to date. Considering that fellow New World Ventures portfolio company Analyte Health just closed a $20 million Series C round, the future looks bright for Retrofit and the personal health care industry as a whole.

Many of the children here today come from low income families or students who may otherwise go without. Fox News at 7AM: Superintendent McCarthy on Gang Violence in Chicago ANCHOR 1: President Obama is now addressing the rising violence situation in Chicago. It’s been making national news, and he responded to it after being quite silent about that issue. The president recorded a video message denouncing the violence for Chicago’s annual Bud Billiken parade. Oak Park middle schools to adopt international curriculum WBEZ // Becky Vevea Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel isn’t the only one who wants more schools to offer the respected International Baccalaureate curriculum. Oak Park District 97 is introducing the program at its two middle schools—Percy Julian Middle and Gwendolyn Brooks Middle. IB is a rigorous curriculum with an international focus that was created in Switzerland for the children of diplomats. The curriculum is broken into three levels--the primary years programme for elementary school, the middle years programme for middle school and the diplomma programme for high school. Mayor Rob Ford wants to convince Chicago business to relocate to Toronto TORONTO STAR // DAVID RIDER Mayor Rob Ford suggested he hopes to convince some Chicago businesses to relocate to Toronto while leading a two-day “business mission” to the Windy City next month. The Sept. 18-19 trip by what Ford is calling “Team Toronto”, co-chaired by McDonalds Canada founder George Cohon and Porter Airlines chief executive Robert Deluce, will see Ford and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel meet to reaffirm a 1991 sister-city agreement. Mayor Ford announces details of business mission to Chicago TORONTO GLOBAL // James Armstrong Mayor Rob Ford announced details on Tuesday of his business mission to Toronto’s sister city Chicago in September. Mayor Ford said the mission, slated for September 18 to 20, is set to meet with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel – former Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama – to discuss “strategic alliances and encouraging investment, trade and learning opportunities,” according to a press release from the city of Toronto. Since signing a “Sister City” agreement in 1991, both cities have shared valuable information, Rob Ford said on Tuesday, including ideas on business interests, arts and culture, and environmental policy. Lollapalooza promoters: Grant Park cleanup, repair to cost $150,000 SUN TIMES // Lisa Donovan Lollapalooza didn’t leave as big a dent in Grant Park this year, the concert promoters said Tuesday. Repairs to the damaged greens will cost an estimated at $150,000 — a fraction of the $1 million it cost in 2011, according to Austin, Texas-based concert promoters C3 Presents. A Chicago Park District spokeswoman couldn’t immediately confirm the pricetag. As part of the deal for using park district land, C3 picks up the tab for repairs for the popular extravaganza that attracted 300,000 music lovers over the three-day run. COLUMNIST AND EDITORIALS Chicago parents: How is your child's school using (or planning to use) its extra time? TRIBUNE // BLOG // ERIC ZORN I have children at two different Chiago public high schools. At one, it looks like all they're doing is making each class period slightly longer. At the other...well, I can't tell. I called -- in my role as a parent, not a journalist -- and the operator didn't know and couldn't direct me to anywhere on the school's web site that explained it (I couldn't find such a page). For yucks, I went to the site maintained by the Northwest Side CPS elementary school nearest our house. Again, there's nothing obvious about what the plans are for the longer school day. Chicago's Establishment Gets Behind Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, Republicans CHICAGO MAG // Whet Moser Four years ago, Chicago's favorite adopted son was the toast of the town, popular enough to draw money even from typical GOP backers. Four years later Barack Obama is raising even more money, but he's having a harder time of it with some of Chicago's wealthiest people, as Carol Felsenthal noted last week: On the GOP side, ranking number nine with $2.3 million for Mitt Romney and other Republican PACs and candidates, is Chicago hedge fund billionaire Kenneth Griffin (with his wife Anne). (In 2008, the 43-year-old founder and CEO of Citadel, gave to both McCain and Obama; this year he appears not to be hedging his bets, but rather putting his money behind Romney.) A call to Griffin, a financial backer of Rahm Emanuel, was not returned by post time. A new campaign tool? CAPFAX // RICH MILLER * The Illinois Department of Employment Security has a new web page where you can look at unemployment data by congressional and state legislative districts. I’ve just started playing with it, but it’s pretty darned cool and I’m sure it’ll be used by some campaigns this year. BUSINESS ~CHECK FULL ARTICLES SECTION BELOW ~ Groupon shares fall 27% on disappointing results TRIBUNE // STAFF Shares of Groupon Inc. dropped more than 20 percent Tuesday, a day after the company's quarterly revenue missed Wall Street estimates on a weak European economy and its high-margin daily deal business slowed. In afternoon trading, shares dropped as low as $5.49, down 27.3 percent from Monday's $7.55 close. Overnight, Groupon's stock was downgraded by two brokerages and Citigroup, RBC, JP Morgan and Barclays cut price targets by as much as $14 per share. Groupon's stock plunges as earnings report brings questions CRAINS // John Pletz Groupon Inc. gave Wall Street more information about its sprawling business Monday, but investors didn't like what they heard. The company's growth slowed sharply in the second quarter as it cut spending on marketing, and it's growing more dependent on new businesses such as discount merchandise, travel and tickets to events rather than its core daily-deal business of restaurant meals and manicures, which is slowing. Eventup opens sales office in Chicago — but that's only part of the story CRAINS // John Pletz It's hard to say what was more surprising: that a California web startup came to Chicago for money, or that it came back for the talent. But that's what Tony Adam did at EventUp, an online marketplace of venues for corporate and private shindigs. He got $1.8 million in June from Chicago-based venture funds Lightbank and New World Ventures, turning down other term sheets. Last week, EventUp opened a sales office in Chicago. It's not because he's feeling nostalgic, though Mr. Adam was born in Naperville. He grew up on the West Coast, most recently working for MySpace and Yahoo Inc. Rather, it's proximity to Lightbank founders Eric Lefkofsky and Brad Keywell, who know a little about marrying websites and call centers filled with salespeople. Groupon Inc., InnerWorkings Inc. and Echo Global Logistics come to mind. Willis Tower has plenty of legroom to fill even after United HQ move CRAINS // Ryan Ori The owners of Willis Tower scored a coup by landing the headquarters of United Airlines' parent company, but they still have plenty of space to fill in the Western Hemisphere's tallest skyscraper. United Continental Holdings Inc. said Monday it plans to move its corporate offices early next year into a 205,000-square-foot space in the 3.8-million-square-foot tower at 233 S. Wacker Drive, a building that already houses the company's massive operations center. Yet the lease will bring the building's occupancy to just 82 percent, according to a spokeswoman for its owner, a group including Skokie-based American Landmark Properties Ltd. and New York investors Joseph Chetrit and Joseph Moinian. Downtown condo sales dip in second quarter CRAINS // David Lee Matthews Home sales are picking up for all kinds of sellers these days, unless you're a downtown condominium developer. Developers sold 182 downtown condos in the second quarter, up from 113 in the first quarter but down from 196 a year earlier, according to a report from Appraisal Research Counselors, a Chicago-based consulting firm. The local housing market has shown encouraging signs through the key spring selling season, as many homebuyers have taken advantage of record-low interest rates and falling prices. But what may be a nascent recovery has yet to arrive for downtown condo developers as urbanites, flush with rental options, choose to wait for clearer signs of a recovery or enjoy the flexibility apartments provide. Qatar Airways to start O'Hare flights next year TRIBUNE // Gregory Karp Qatar Airways said Tuesday that it will expand its U.S. route network next year with daily flights to Chicago O'Hare International Airport. The non-stop service from Doha, capital of the State of Qatar, will begin April 10. It will be the carrier's fourth U.S. gateway. It already operates flights to New York, Washington, D.C., and Houston. Qatar Airways to make Chicago its fourth U.S. destination USA TODAY // Ben Mutzabaugh Qatar Airways will make Chicago O'Hare its newest U.S. destination. The airline plans to begin daily service to its hub in Doha on April 10. Qatar says it will "use its flagship long-haul Boeing 777-300 Extended Range passenger aircraft on the Doha-Chicago route with an approximate flying time of 15 hours." Chicago O'Hare will become the carrier's fourth U.S. destination, joining Houston Bush Intercontinental, New York JFK and Washington Dulles. Hindi buddy-cop flick takes over downtown Chicago CRAINS // LORENE YUE Chicago Police Department squad cars swarmed a downtown parking garage near Randolph Street and Wabash Avenue today — but they weren't making an arrest. Instead, they were on hand as filming continued for the Hindi buddy-cop action flick "Dhoom 3: Back in Action." The movie, which takes place in India and Chicago, has been shooting scenes all around downtown. Last week, filming took place around Lower Michigan Avenue. The flick reteams Abhiskek Bachchan, who is married to Aishwarya Rai of "Bride & Prejudice" fame, and Uday Chopra as they take on Aamir Khan, who acted and directed the epic film "Lagaan." Catamaran leaving Lisle for Schaumburg Pharmacy benefits manager needed more room after merger TRIBUNE // Peter Frost Fast-growing pharmacy benefits manager Catamaran Corp. confirmed Tuesday that it plans to move its corporate headquarters to Schaumburg from Lisle by spring. Catamaran, which changed its name from SXC Health after a recent merger with Catalyst Health Solutions, signed a 10-year lease for an 11-story, 300,000 square-foot office building in the Woodfield shopping district. The building has space for up to 1,300 employees. With Frommer's, Google Taps Gurus WSJ // AMIR EFRATI And JEFFREY A. TRACHTENBERG Google Inc. for years swore it wasn't interested in creating content, choosing instead to point people to information on the Web. Google also championed the vox populi, letting crowd-sourced opinions bubble to the top when users search for answers online. Slowly, though, the experts have been moving up in Google's eyes, and its business. Google paid around $25 million for Frommer's, according to a person briefed on the deal, which hasn't yet closed. But the deal is more significant for its strategy than its price tag. The Frommer's deal follows Google's 2011 acquisition of Zagat Survey, whose reviews and ratings of millions of businesses have since been incorporated into Google+ local-business listings. Kraft board OKs grocery spinoff for Oct. 1 Reuters Kraft Foods Inc.'s board of directors on Tuesday approved the spinoff of its North American grocery business to shareholders, with the date for the spinoff set for Oct. 1. On that date, each Kraft Foods Inc. shareholder will receive one share of the spun-off business, Kraft Foods Group, for every three shares of Kraft Foods Inc that they hold. CHICAGO Man killed, 2 injured in taxi crash TRIBUNE // William Lee A man sitting on a bench was struck and killed by a cab that veered off Milwaukee Avenue in the River West neighborhood this morning, hit a light pole and flipped over several times, according to police and witnesses. Passers-by pulled the cabbie from the Checker taxi as it started on fire, witnesses said. A passenger also managed to escape. "We got him off to a safe distance," said Dan Faraci, who was coming home from work when he came across the accident at Chicago and Milwaukee avenues around 6 a.m. Richard Steele goes to Bridgeport WBEZ // Richard Steele Guest hosting for Tony Sarabia gives me an opportunity to share a familiar Chicago story with you. It’s a part of WBEZ’s summer-long series on race called Race: Out Loud. When we looked at what would generate the most interest and inspire the best conversation, I thought about Bridgeport and the warnings my parents gave me back in the 1950s. We lived at 32nd and Calumet, which was just east of Bridgeport. I was told that if I valued my life, I should never ride my bike anywhere even close to Comiskey Park (now Cellular Field). There was no Dan Ryan Expressway back then, but all black people knew where the dividing line was. Rep. Jackson’s condition less severe SUN TIMES // MONIFA THOMAS Bipolar disorder — sometimes known as manic-depressive disorder — is a condition that alternates between episodes of depression and mania or a less severe form known as hypomania. It’s estimated that about 4 percent of the United States population is affected. There are two different types: bipolar I and bipolar II disorders. People with bipolar I have at least one manic, or extreme elation, episode and usually have depressive episodes. Woman killed at Gold Coast hotel had been busted for prostitution SUN TIMES // FRANK MAIN AND MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Detectives are investigating whether a Dallas woman’s “high-risk lifestyle” figured into her murder in a Gold Coast luxury hotel, police sources said Tuesday.

Elite runner preps for Chicago Marathon, races with high schoolers SUN TIMES // KARA SPAK Ten days after running in the Olympics 10,000 meter finals, Dathan Ritzenhein was running three miles along Lake Michigan, surrounded by dozens of local high school cross country runners. Ritzenhein, 29, who trains at the elite Nike Oregon Project in Beaverton, Ore., was formally introduced Tuesday as one of the professional speedsters running the 2012 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. During a brief question-and-answer session in Lincoln Park before the group run, he urged the cross country runners to ditch the soft drinks, cross train and run year-round. SPRINGFIELD Quinn: Security Concerns Prompted End To Media Tours Of Prisons WBBM // REGINE SCHLESINGER Gov. Pat Quinn says he didn’t end media tours of Illinois prisons in order to cover up anything. As WBBM Newsradio’s Regine Schlesinger reports, state Treasurer Dan Rutherford recently criticized the governor’s action, saying denying media access to the prisons removes a layer of transparency. Rutherford says, “Taking away the sunlight is not a good thing.” ILLINOIS Illinois solicits bids to build IT for insurance exchange CRAINS // Claire Bushey The state is looking for a company to build its health insurance exchange even though it likely won't operate independently of the federal government until 2015. The Illinois Department of Insurance has asked for proposals from vendors to set up, operate and maintain the computer infrastructure for the insurance exchange. The system must meet federal requirements and integrate “seamlessly” with the state's Medicaid system; bids are due Aug. 30. Alternate jurors selected in case of man accused of killing wife, 3 kids SUN TIMES // JON SEIDEL Jury selection wrapped up Tuesday in the murder trial of Christopher Vaughn of Oswego, who’s charged with killing his wife and three children five years ago.

Billboard put up by tea party sparks protest Associated Press Some residents of northern Indiana are protesting a billboard message paid for by a tea party group that reads: "The Navy SEALs removed one threat to America. . .The voters must remove the other." About 25 people held a demonstration Monday at the billboard in Elkhart, calling the message offensive. They say it is inappropriate to equate President Barack Obama with Osama Bin Laden. The billboard was paid for by tea party group We the People of Marshall and Fulton counties. FULL ARTICLES CTA ridership up 16 months in a row CRAINS // GREG HINZ The cause is debatable, but ridership on the Chicago Transit Authority has risen 16 months in a row, CTA officials and Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced Tuesday. Combined ridership on buses and trains was up 10.5 million rides, or 4 percent. That's similar to what happened last year, when ridership hit the highest level in 20 years, more than 532 million. Overall, in the year ending June 30, ridership is up about 22 million rides, or 4.3 percent, compared to the year earlier. The rise is greater on trains — about twice as much as on buses. The announcement came at a ceremony officially reopening the just-rehabbed Morse L station on the Red Line. Mr. Emanuel was implied a connection between such work on the L and rising ridership. "These numbers demonstrate that a firm commitment to improving our infrastructure will help improve the quality of life for all Chicagoans," he said in a statement. "Our residents are taking the CTA now more and as we improve the stations." In a press release, the mayor office stated that, "Ridership has seen some of its sharpest increases during the tenure of Mayor Emanuel." However, what's happening here is very much part of a national trend. Driven by high gasoline prices and perhaps generational changes in where people work and how they like to get there, public transit ridership nationally leapt nearly 5 percent in the first quarter of 2012 compared to a year earlier. That's according to the American Public Transit Assn., an industry trade group. "America's travel habits are undergoing tremendous change," APTA President and CEO Michael Melaniphy told Governing Magazine. Indeed, here in Chicago, ridership figures turned around in the late 1990s and moved upward until the economy plummeted in 2008-09. With the economy stronger, more people need to commute. So, please do keep fixing up the CTA. It will help. Bravo to Mr. Emanuel and CTA President Forrest Claypool for making that a priority. But some things do happen in the world without City Hall being responsible. Groupon's stock plunges as earnings report brings questions CRAINS // John Pletz Groupon Inc. gave Wall Street more information about its sprawling business Monday, but investors didn't like what they heard. The company's growth slowed sharply in the second quarter as it cut spending on marketing, and it's growing more dependent on new businesses such as discount merchandise, travel and tickets to events rather than its core daily-deal business of restaurant meals and manicures, which is slowing. The stock plunged more than 20 percent in early trading today to $5.84 per share after Groupon reported second-quarter results Monday that looked good at first blush. Earnings, excluding stock and acquisition expenses, that topped forecasts by 5 cents, were fueled by a one-time gain of 4 cents from an investment in a joint venture in China. Groupon's revenue of $568 million was slightly below analyst estimates of $573 million. But growth was just 2 percent from the previous quarter, down from the double-digit rates seen in the five prior periods. The company also said its European operations – the largest part of an international business that accounts for more than half Groupon's revenue -- are suffering from the region's weakening economy and other challenges, such as unfavorable exchange rates. Overall, international revenue fell 4 percent from the previous quarter, its first decline. North America now is the bright spot, a change from previous quarters. “The deceleration is much faster than people thought,” said Herman Leung, an analyst at Susquehanna International Group. “There's more trouble in Europe than I thought. It was a tough quarter that's only going to get tougher with European headwinds.” Analysts on Tuesday began slashing their ratings for the company, as well as their price targets. Citi analyst Mark Mahaney cut his rating for Groupon to "Neutral" from "Buy," noting that the company's billings growth dropped substantially from the first quarter, despite greater efforts to personalize the deals it offers in North America and the growth of the Groupon Goods business. "All in, a sequential decline implies a rapidly deteriorating core business i.e. the Daily Deals business, and Groupon needs to act fast to fill up this hole with new initiatives such as Goods," Mahaney wrote. He also wrote that "this management team doesn't yet have an execution track record. And in the meantime, the core Daily Deal business is sharply slowing." Benchmark analyst Clayton Moran lowered his rating for Groupon to "Hold" from "Buy" and slashed his price target to $7 from $20, also pointing to gross billings. "It appears the daily deal business has run into a wall, with some blame going to the European recession," Moran wrote. "We believe the weak trends are likely to persist." Analysts on Monday also got more detail about the impact of its ancillary merchandise, travel and tickets businesses on the company's performance. In those businesses, Groupon acts like an Amazonstyle retailer, as opposed to its daily-deals business, where it acts as a middleman, splitting the take with the merchant. Overall revenue growth of 45 percent from a year earlier was helped because of the way Groupon treats the other businesses. It counts the total sales price as revenue, unlike its daily-deal business, in which Groupon only books the amount of money it keeps, not the portion kept by merchants. There's nothing wrong with the way Groupon counts its merchandise and other businesses. Groupon said revenue from direct businesses such as merchandise brought in $65 million in the second quarter from just $19 million in the first quarter. Overall revenue from its core daily-deals business fell 6.9 percent from the previous quarter to $503 million, its first sequential decline. “It means their North American growth was mostly driven by their Goods business,” said Sameet Sinha, an analyst with B. Riley & Co. CEO Andrew Mason pointed to that success as a hopeful sign. “The success we had in Groupon Goods is a reflection of the power of the brand we built through our local business,” he said in a call with analysts. “We can transfer the value proposition … from spa packages to home yogurt kits.” Although Groupon has promoted its Goods business more heavily in the e-mails it sends out, Mr. Mason stressed the daily-deals business remains the company's primary focus. “It doesn't reflect a lack of opportunity in local commerce — the biggest market out there,” he said. Analysts see it with more trepidation. The merchandise business brings risk as well as reward: Groupon takes responsibility for inventory, at least on paper. And analysts wondered if Groupon would begin adding infrastructure to handle inventory like other e-commerce companies such as Amazon. It's one more challenge for Mr. Mason in trying to win over investors to Groupon, which has been battered by repeated challenges, from accounting issues to questions about an unproven business model that only now is turning a profit. “There are so many moving parts,” Mr. Sinha said. “If the core business is not on a solid platform, why are you growing into new businesses? The distraction cost seems to be really high.” Willis Tower has plenty of legroom to fill even after United HQ move CRAINS // Ryan Ori The owners of Willis Tower scored a coup by landing the headquarters of United Airlines' parent company, but they still have plenty of space to fill in the Western Hemisphere's tallest skyscraper. United Continental Holdings Inc. said Monday it plans to move its corporate offices early next year into a 205,000-square-foot space in the 3.8-million-square-foot tower at 233 S. Wacker Drive, a building that already houses the company's massive operations center. Yet the lease will bring the building's occupancy to just 82 percent, according to a spokeswoman for its owner, a group including Skokie-based American Landmark Properties Ltd. and New York investors Joseph Chetrit and Joseph Moinian. The Willis Tower has been barely generating enough cash flow to service its $775 million in debt, according to a Bloomberg L.P. report. A 352,356-square-foot lease with accounting firm Ernst & Young, which moved out in 2010, expired in May, and law firm Latham & Watkins LLP, which leases 144,414 square feet, is leaving in 2014. Another big tenant, law firm SNR Denton, has a 177,000-square-foot lease that expires in August 2014, according to the report. The United Continental lease will offset some of the recent departures. In all, the company will employ about 4,000 workers in about 830,000 square feet in the building. While increasing its footprint to about a quarter of the tower, United also extended its entire lease through 2028. The building's owners explored changing leasing agents but so far have stuck with Chicago-based U.S. Equities LLC. Besides United Continental, U.S. Equities landed London-based insurance broker Willis Group Holdings PLC, which signed a 140,000-square-foot lease in 2009, and negotiated a 217,000square-foot lease extension, to 2021, with law firm Schiff Hardin LLP. The owners, through the spokeswoman, did not address the status of the leasing assignment or their long-term plans for the 110-story tower. The group hired New York-based Eastdil Secured LLC to sell the building but in January said they had pulled it from the market, citing volatility in global financial markets. United's current headquarters is at 77 W. Wacker Drive, named the United Building. A United spokeswoman said the company “is actively seeking a sublease on our space at 77 W. Wacker” but declined to comment on whether naming rights could or would be included in a deal to fill its 240,000 square feet there. United's lease runs until 2022, with a termination option in 2018, sources say. Several tenants have already toured the space, which is being offered at below-market rents for Class A space, sources say. William Rolander, a principal at Chicago-based John Buck Co., which handles leasing at the United Building, declined to comment. Molly Carroll, a senior vice president at Chicago-based Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. who represents United, did not return a call. Eventup opens sales office in Chicago — but that's only part of the story CRAINS // John Pletz It's hard to say what was more surprising: that a California web startup came to Chicago for money, or that it came back for the talent. But that's what Tony Adam did at EventUp, an online marketplace of venues for corporate and private shindigs. He got $1.8 million in June from Chicago-based venture funds Lightbank and New World Ventures, turning down other term sheets. Last week, EventUp opened a sales office in Chicago. It's not because he's feeling nostalgic, though Mr. Adam was born in Naperville. He grew up on the West Coast, most recently working for MySpace and Yahoo Inc. Rather, it's proximity to Lightbank founders Eric Lefkofsky and Brad Keywell, who know a little about marrying websites and call centers filled with salespeople. Groupon Inc., InnerWorkings Inc. and Echo Global Logistics come to mind. “It's about access to the knowledge base that the Lightbank team has,” said Mr. Adam, CEO of the yearold company. “The level of talent in Chicago when it comes to sales is way better in Chicago than LA for B2B, local and SMB.” He isn't crashing at 600 W. Chicago Ave., where Groupon, InnerWorkings, Echo Global and Lightbank are based. EventUp's has just five people in temporary space a 10 S. Riverside Plaza, but Mr. Adam expects to be at 20 by yearend. Chicago also is one of four major business markets for EventUp, which went live in February and lists about 500 venues, ranging from restaurants to privately owned mansions. About half of the homes are second residences. “You can make money renting a house for a night for an event, go to dinner and come back, instead of giving up your home for a week,” he said. The customer base is a mix of corporate and consumer, but Mr. Adam is shifting focus more heavily toward corporate events because it's more lucrative. Thus, the sales office. “Even a startup will have two events a year,” he said. “Larger companies will have 100 or more. That's where our business will thrive.” What would really be shocking is if Mr. Adam was loading up on tech talent or management. But that's not happening — yet. In the meantime, you play to your strengths. Despite all the engineers coming out of Northwestern, University of Illinois, Illinois Institute of Technology and elsewhere, Chicago is a mecca for young, smart people willing to hustle for a buck. Just ask the folks at all the consulting firms, advertising shops and consumer-products companies that fill up all those downtown buildings. It's worth remembering that Google's Chicago office, which is close to 500 employees, got its start here with a couple of sales guys before the search-engine company was one of the biggest names in tech. Then a few engineers showed up. Today, it has teams of engineers based here, alongside Margo Georgiadis, its top sales exec for the Americas, where Google gets the bulk of its revenue. More recently, it made a huge bet on Chicago when it bought Motorola Mobility. Instead of shutting it down, as some feared, Google moved it downtown to the Merchandise Mart. Hindi buddy-cop flick takes over downtown Chicago CRAINS // LORENE YUE Chicago Police Department squad cars swarmed a downtown parking garage near Randolph Street and Wabash Avenue today — but they weren't making an arrest. Instead, they were on hand as filming continued for the Hindi buddy-cop action flick "Dhoom 3: Back in Action." The movie, which takes place in India and Chicago, has been shooting scenes all around downtown. Last week, filming took place around Lower Michigan Avenue. The flick reteams Abhiskek Bachchan, who is married to Aishwarya Rai of "Bride & Prejudice" fame, and Uday Chopra as they take on Aamir Khan, who acted and directed the epic film "Lagaan." Downtown condo sales dip in second quarter CRAINS // David Lee Matthews Home sales are picking up for all kinds of sellers these days, unless you're a downtown condominium developer. Developers sold 182 downtown condos in the second quarter, up from 113 in the first quarter but down from 196 a year earlier, according to a report from Appraisal Research Counselors, a Chicago-based consulting firm. The local housing market has shown encouraging signs through the key spring selling season, as many homebuyers have taken advantage of record-low interest rates and falling prices. But what may be a nascent recovery has yet to arrive for downtown condo developers as urbanites, flush with rental options, choose to wait for clearer signs of a recovery or enjoy the flexibility apartments provide. “There are not only rental alternatives, there are excellent rental alternatives, newly finished with all the bells and whistles,” said Appraisal Research Vice-president Gail Lissner. “Anybody buying a residence right now really needs to want to stay there for a long time.” Another drag may be level of distress driving the market, with 22 percent of all second-quarter downtown condo sales being sold by a lender or as a short sale, where a property trades for less than its level of debt, according to Appraisal Research. Distressed deals are more common in the resale market and drag down prices of neighboring properties, Ms. Lissner said. Downtown developers sold 295 condos in the first half of the year, down from 385 a year earlier, according to Appraisal Research. In one encouraging sign, the supply of unsold new condos continues to shrink, to 1,529 units in the second quarter, down from 1,670 in the first quarter and 1,828 in the fourth quarter of 2011. Nearly 500 of those units are concentrated in three failed South Loop towers that will resume marketing next year. Leading all projects in sales was 200 N. Dearborn St., a condo conversion that sold 37 units in the second quarter, said developer Nick Gouletas of American Invsco Corp. Aided by several price cuts and a discount for cash buyers, the project has particularly appealed to parents of students attending the downtown campus of Loyola University Chicago, Mr. Gouletas said. Other sales leaders include CMK Development Corp., which sold 18 units in the 714-unit building at 235 W. Van Buren St., and Hinsdale-based Foxford City LLC, which sold 18 units at the Van Buren Lofts, 1224 W. Van Buren St., after buying 52 unsold condos in the struggling project last year and cutting prices. The leaders show that well-priced, well-located projects can sell at a brisk pace, Ms. Lissner said. Developers stuck with a glut of unsold condos can either offer them in bulk or convert to rental, though the best conversion candidates have likely already made the switch, she said. Sales are expected to rise next quarter as the 89-unit Ritz Carlton Residences begins closing sales this month, though less than half the condos in the luxury high-rise are under contract, according to Appraisal Research. The only other new downtown project being delivered this year is the 24-unit second phase at CA 23, 16-20 N.

The health care overhaul law, called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, mandates that states develop exchanges where consumers and small businesses can buy health insurance from private carriers, among others. The state-level exchanges are intended to satisfy two key requirements of the federal law. They would be markets where individuals and small employers could satisfy the mandate to buy insurance, but the law would also guarantee that insurance companies would sell policies to most people who apply. As of Aug. 1, 16 states have established exchanges through legislation or executive order. Because the Illinois General Assembly has not passed legislation to establish an exchange and Gov. Patrick Quinn has not established an outline for one through executive order, Illinois' exchange will be run jointly by the state and federal governments starting Jan. 1, 2014. About 337,000 people are expected to buy health insurance through the exchange in 2014, according to documents from the Illinois Department of Procurement. That number is projected to climb to 489,000 in 2015. By setting up a jointly run exchange, the state is doing “a two-step dance,” preparing for its eventual transition to a state-run exchange on Jan. 1, 2015, said Jim Duffett, executive director of the Campaign for Better Health Care in Champaign. “They're doing it to get the ball rolling,” he said. The federal government has given $39 million to start the exchange, said a state spokesman, with another $90 million possible. Most of the initial payment will go toward developing the exchange's computer infrastructure. But if the Legislature fails to pass a bill establishing the exchange by spring, the insurance department is unlikely to extend the federal-state partnership on the exchange another year, said Laura Minzer, executive director of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce's Healthcare Council. “They will simply say to the federal government, 'Come in,'” she said. FULL TRANSCRIPTS CBS2 News at 6:00PM: MRE and state officials discuss pension reforms BILL KURTIS: the clock is ticking and the total we owe the state's public employee pension funds is going up fast. WALTER JACOBSON: Really fast. By $12 million a day every day we go without comprehensive pension reform. As our chief correspondent Jay Levine says there appears to be no end in sight. You are on your way to Springfield. It will be a day to follow the story. Why no end in sight? JAY LEVINE: Politics. Pure and simple, Walter and Bill, over a so-called line in the sand. That teacher's pension switch making local school districts actually pay for benefits they give their teachers now paid by the state. Suburban and downstate Republicans can’t live with it. Chicago Democrats won’t live without it. Governor Pay Quinn is trying desperately to break the stalemate. LEVINE TO QUINN: they say it's always darkest before dawn and right now it looks to be pretty dark. GOV. PAT QUINN: it's hard no doubt about it. i think anytime you deal with something as demanding as pension reform, a lot of legislators would just as soon do something else. But we don't have any more time. We won't have enough money for our schools, for our children. What kind of legacy is this if we don't reform the pension system? LEVINE: that's why Quinn summoned lawmakers to Springfield this Friday even though the two sides seem far from a deal that Mayor Rahm Emanuel called critical. MRE: they have a special session. They are going to go down there. LEVINE TO MRE: your message to them? MRE: we have to address this issue. LEVINE: shortfall in the state's five public employee pension funds which Governor says is $83 billion and Republicans estimate at $130 billion, and increasing $12 million a day will have a strangle hold on the entire budget. The house speaker Madigan may introduce a bill in the senate to reform two of the state in five pension plans. STATE REP. TOM CROSS: i think most have said it doesn't go far enough. It nibbles around edges at best. If we will do something we need to do it in a substantive comprehensive style. LEVINE: But Madigan and the Democrats won’t go any further without a shift in teacher’s pension payments from the state to local authorities. CROSS: my approach is you put us in a room, lock the key, when we are done, let us out. LEVINE TO QUINN: is locking them in calling them back day after day something you are considering? QUINN: i will say i will take one day at a time. I talked to legislators and leaders every day. Just want to take the temperature of everybody. I don't see why we need to go more than one day. LEVINE: i asked him three times. He wouldn't say what they will do if they fail. He is concerned that bond grading agencies will downgrade our debt if they leave Springfield without progress. KURTIS: I can't imagine Mike Madigan will give on this issue. What is the possible compromise that is rolling around that you can pick up between or to answer the problem of Chicago paying for all the pensions? LEVINE: What they've got do is come up with some kind of sweetener to that pension switch, teachers from the state to the local district. Some way to figure it out to ease the pain. The local district so that they can't complain about their increase in property taxes. Without that it will never fly. NBC5 News at 6:00PM: MRE and CTA President Claypool announce CTA ridership increases; Morse Red Line reopens ALLISON ROSATI: Good news tonight for CTA riders. The Morse Red Line station just reopened today after several weeks of rehabbing. The price tag, about $12 million. The news comes on the same day CTA officials say ridership is up for the 16th month in a row both on trains and buses. NBC5 News at 6:00PM: MRE responds to presidential race ALLISON ROSATI: Mayor Rahm Emanuel does not hold back in his first remarks on the republican vice presidential choice Paul Ryan. The Mayor is expected to campaign for President Obama as we step closer to Election Day. DICK JOHNSON: NBC5's political reporter Mary Ann Ahern here with the story, as always. MARY ANN AHERN: The Mayor has already participated in some of the campaign events for the President, so no surprise that he would be critical of Ryan. Mayor Emanuel and Congressman Ryan served together on two committees in Congress, but from far different political parties, and obviously different philosophies. MRE: Paul Ryan, who i served with, on both the ways and Means Committee and Budget Committee, has ideas. I don't think they're right for the course for the United States. The president will make that clear, and i support him on that. A lot of independent economists say his budget would lead to a recession. I don't think a recession is a pro-growth strategy. AHERN: Ryan campaigned today for Romney in Colorado. He says the Obama campaign has gone from hope and change to attack and blame. Ryan spoke of Romney’s business strategy. PAUL RYAN: he turned around struggling businesses with astounding success. He created jobs. He is living proof of the example that if you have a small business, you did build that small business. AHERN: and the polls show Colorado is evenly divided with republican, democratic and independent voters. Paul Ryan had planned a vacation in Colorado this week. When he was tapped to be the vice presidential choice he decided to do a little campaigning and will join the family later. JOHNSON: a good decision later for him. JOHNSON: a good decision later for him. ABC7 News at 5:00PM: MRE and CTA President Claypool announce CTA ridership increases RON MAGERS: the CTA says ridership on trains has increased for 51 consecutive months, and 16 consecutive months overall. CTA President Forrest Claypool made the announcement at the newly remodeled Red Line Morse Station in Rogers Park. At station was closed for 6 weeks as part of the overhaul of seven stations all on the North Side. These improvements are helping to boost ridership. ABC7 News at 5:00PM: State officials discuss pension reforms ANCHOR: efforts to reform the state's public pension system. On Friday, Governor Pat Quinn will convene a special session in Springfield to discuss the problem. He sat down and talked with ABC7 political reporter Charles Thomas. CHARLES THOMAS: Governor Quinn began the conversation with an example of how he says the costs of the Illinois public pension system has skyrocketed. GOV. PAT QUINN: somebody who retired in 1992 from state employment with what $60,000 pension today under the current rules has $120,000 and we just cannot afford this. THOMAS: Quinn has called the general assembly back to Springfield this Friday to reform the system. The goal is to reduce the state's estimated $83 billion plus pension debt ted free up budget space for other uses. QUINN: so we have money, not just for pensions but for schools and for safety, for healthcare, all the things that people want many. THOMAS: leaders of both parties agree on raising the retirement age and limiting retiree cost of living increases among other changes, but republicans fearing property tax increases, oppose shifting the cost of suburban and downstate teacher pensions from the state to local school districts. STATE REP. TOM CROSS: separate pension reform is not to peddle the costs here. THOMAS: House Minority Leader Tom Cross opposes the go plan to phase in the cost shift over 12 years to minimize annual tax increases. Cross was asked if it might take the system's catastrophic collapse to force action. CROSS: yes. I think folks in this state and around the country don't think it can happen to them. THOMAS: meanwhile, the governor says he's not worried about the personal political cost of possibly being unable to forge an agreement by Friday. QUINN: i think people admire someone who gets in the middle of the arena, works as hard as they can with every fiber of their being, to solve a problem that will help us for the next generation. THOMAS: finally, the governor repeated his Wall Street warning that without pension reform this week, bond rating agencies could again downgrade the state's, credit rating sooner than later. In Chicago, Charles Thomas, ABC7 news. NBC5 News at 5:00PM: State officials discuss pension reforms ALLISON ROSATI: will it take a catastrophe for state law makers to agree to reform state pensions? Pat Quinn called a special session this week, but many wonder the general assembly can find a solution in just one day. Mary Ann Ahern with the story. MARY ANN AHERN: Governor Pay Quinn believes lawmakers can find a solution to the crisis. The main debate, should it shift teacher pension costs to suburban and downstate school districts. GOV. PAT QUINN: to put it in perspective, someone who retired from state employment in 1992 with a $60,000 pension today is getting $120,000. AHERN: the dilemma in pension reform could free up major dollars and republicans are wary. STATE REP. TOM CROSS: the Speaker and President and Mayor want more money to spend. They want a billion more dollars. AHERN: as the house minority leader meets with the committee this afternoon, he wonders if there has to be a complete crisis. No checks written to retirees for lawmakers to act. CROSS: i think folks in this state and around the country don't think it can happen to them. And, you know, they say that happens in Europe. That happens in faraway places. It is not going to happen here. QUINN: waiting until after the election, that only makes things worse. The bond houses will not wait. I’m very, very fearful of this. AHERN: even some suburban school districts negotiating now are warning teachers. Should the state shift the burden back to the districts, any deal made now being revisited. Quinn supports phasing in that cost shift. QUINN: a 12-year phase in, that's a reasonable way to go. AHERN: so the options are as the lawmakers head to Springfield on Friday, vote on a solution or kick the problem to post-election day. Mary Ann Ahern, NBC5 News. NBC5 News at 5:00PM: Lake Michigan rower completes 15,000 mile mission ALLISON ROSATI: the sky was shining on her today. A very happy homecoming for rower Jen Gibbons. She set out last summer to row the shores of Lake Michigan. DICK JOHNSON: her effort was to raise money for breast cancer. In the middle of her mission, the unthinkable happened. Anthony Ponce has her story. ANTHONY PONCE: Here’s 27-year-old Jen Gibbons rowing the final leg of the 15,000 mile row around Lake Michigan. She left the same spot on June 15th and road clockwise around the lake returning this morning with the flag signed for her by the Mayor. JEN GIBBONS: i met so many amazing people on this trip. Survivors, people who were inspired by what I was doing, who were part of the rowing community or total strangers that I met. PONCE: she wound up raising $113,000 for the organization she founded, Recovery on Water, a.k.a., ROW. A rowing and support team for breast cancer survivors. GIBBONS: exercise reduces cancer occurrence by 50%, so these women are able to use exercise as a tool and their recovery process. PONCE: but just over a month into her journey, something unthinkable happened. At 2:00 in the morning when she was asleep, docking in the upper peninsula of Michigan, this man who police believe followed her journey on her blog forced his way on to the boat and sexually assaulted her. GIBBONS: there were things i knew i would face. Six-foot waves, all kinds of physical and emotional challenges, and some were entirely shocking and new. PONCE: but rather than let that experience derail her journey, Gibbons says she chose to power through, much like the breast cancers survivors she did this for who have also had to overcome unspeakable hardship. GIBBONS: so many women struggle to tell just one person about their sexual assault, so for me, it doesn't sound like it would be a good thing to tell people, but for me, it's been extremely therapeutic. PONCE: her next goal is to write and publish a book about her experience and I’d say it's not a question of whether she'll get published, but a question of how many publishers she'll have to turn away. We are live along the lake front this afternoon. Anthony Ponce, NBC 5 News. ABC 7 News at 11:30AM: Gibbons Completes Two Months of Rowing the Perimeter of Lake Michigan ANCHOR: The woman who has been rowing the perimeter of Lake Michigan nearly two months completed in this morning in Chicago. Jen Gibbons arrived on the Chicago shore around 9:00 this morning. She began the 1,500-mail solo journey in June and raised $113,000 for breast cancer. GIBBONS: I felt really alone a lot of time but with social media and thanks to a great internet connection I never really felt that alone. I always felt supported. ANCHOR: While on the trip she was a victim of sexual assault. She was attacked last month while sleeping in her boat when it was docked in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Police have not captured her attacker. We will have more on the story this afternoon at 4:00. Fox News at Noon: MRE Determines August 14 Julian King Hatch Day ANCHOR: Grammy award-winning singer and actress Jen Hudson, Jennifer returns to remember her slain family members, and also, she's helping CPS students out. Tisha Lewis is live with more for us. Tisha. LEWIS: Well, Anna, for the first type since William Balfour was sentenced to three consecutive life terms for the murder of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and nephew, we are hearing from her today. Now, the back-to-school give away here at the community center is honoring and remembering seven-yearold Julian King. We spoke with Hudson and her sister, Julia, and both were very emotional and thanked Chicagoans for their support. HUDSON: Without Chicago I feel lost and so I left originally but I was like, I have got to go back home. Because that’s the base – that’s my home, you know. And Chicago is family, you know. And when I walk up the street, and somebody sees me, it's just me, Jennifer. This is where I’m home and where I get to be me and hold onto myself in Chicago. It has given me that, you know. LEWIS: Julian would have turned 11 today. Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office has determined this Julian King Hatch day in honor of her slain nephew. The proclamation was made as 5,000 CPS students collected school supplies. Organizers say that the Hatch Day celebration was Julian’s idea to inspire and hatch the dreams of students. Many of the children here today come from low income families or students who may otherwise go without. LEWIS: What have you got in there? STUDENT: Crayons and glue and scissors. LEWIS: That’s a lot of stuff. LEWIS: Organizers were able to spread the word about this back-to-school give away via Facebook and social media. Hudson has been spending the summer in New York. She did return to Chicago today, and as you mentioned, to remember Julian King, she tells us that she wants to raise her son here in Chicago, and that she is planning on buying a home here in Chicago so her search for her home is happening in the near future. Back to you, Anna. ANCHOR: Tisha, thank you for that report. NBC5 News at Noon: Lake Michigan rower returns from 15,000 mile mission MARION BROOKS: she lived through two months, 15,000 miles and a frightening attack. Today, a woman who rode the perimeter of Lake Michigan is finally home. Good afternoon and thank you for joining us. Rower Jen Gibbons set out in June to raise money and awareness. She rode the shores of Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana and in the middle of her mission, went from advocate to victim. Anthony Ponce is live at the Chicago Yacht Club with more on her story. ANTHONY PONCE: she left this harbor about eight weeks ago with the goal of raising money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer and at the time, she knew she needed to be strong going in, but giving what happened to her, halfway through her journey, had no idea how much strength it would take to finish. Here’s 27-year-old Jen Gibbons rowing the final leg of the 15,000 mile row around Lake Michigan.

Fox News at Noon: Brizard on CPS Extended School Day ANCHOR: We also talked about students right now, and thousands of students are back in class. School is on the E track started yesterday, and that covers a third of the city's schools, and for the students they should expect a longer school day this year. School CEO Jean-Claude Brizard says it is up to each individual school to decide how they are going to use the extra teaching time. BRIZARD: They know what students actually need and what's really been wonderful to watch is a variety of ways in which people are implementing the school day. ANCHOR: Meantime, it is not all good news at cps. The threat of a teacher's strike still looming. Brizard says the school officials are doing everything that they can to avoid strike. All other schools are going to be opening on September 4 right after Labor Day. Fox News at 9PM: Jean-Claude Brizard on CPS and CTU Negotiations ANCHOR: As we mentioned earlier, this is the first day of school for over 200 Chicago public school children. Tisha Lewis has a closer look at what's new this year, a longer school day and talk of a teachers' strike. LEWIS: Beyond the bells and whistles of the first day of school, parents and teachers are sounding off about the looming teachers' strike and longer school day. PARENT: I think the school day as it was before might have been too short. But I think now it's maybe too long. LEWIS: Says Leon Hamilton, father and board member of the local school council. His son is a seventh grader at Ninos Heroes Elementary School, where we've learned the additional time was allocated to recess, lunch, and art. PARENT: I’d like it to be in some area that is really engaging. If it means you're going to spend more time in the computer lab or science lab, and that's what's fun, then i think that's where it should go. TEACHER: The way things are being distributed is not exactly how the public thinks it is. REPORTER: Chicago public schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard says it's up to each school how to utilize the extra time. BRIZARD: They do what is needed, and what's really been wonderful so watch is the variety of ways in which people are implementing the full school day. REPORTER: the change comes amides the threat of a strike and ongoing negotiations between the CPS and the Chicago teachers union. TEACHER: At some point we have to put our foot down and demand. REPORTER: Brizard says nearly 400 issues have been reviewed since last fall, though concern about teachers, compensation, and benefits remain on the table. BRIZARD: Parents should know that we're doing everything possible to avert a strike. REPORTER: The earliest teachers could strike is on August 18th, they'd have to give CPS a 10-day notice. On a side note, Brizard says he's open to having a deeper conversation about extending the school day even more, and said despite minor programming staffing and attendance issues on day one, he gives CPS an A grade. The majority of CPS students return to school on September 4th. Tisha Lewis, fox Chicago news. Fox News at 7AM: Superintendent McCarthy on Gang Violence in Chicago ANCHOR 1: President Obama is now addressing the rising violence situation in Chicago. It’s been making national news, and he responded to it after being quite silent about that issue. The president recorded a video message denouncing the violence for Chicago’s annual Bud Billiken parade. PRESIDENT OBAMA: Let us resolve – and I mean all of us: law enforcement, educators, clergy, parents, and especially young people, to redouble our efforts to fight this epidemic of violence. ANCHOR 1: But the video wasn't shown at the parade due to a timing conflict although again we had another violent weekend here in Chicago. 21 people shot over the past weekend during the time that parade was held. ANCHOR 2: The challenge of controlling gang violence in Chicago has been at the top of mind for many of our city leaders, even bigger challenge for Chicago’s police department in the trenches. ANCHOR 1: And here with us this morning is Chicago Police Superintendent Gary McCarthy. Welcome Superintendent. Tell us about the new crime-fighting strategies. Crime is top of mind for a lot of people in the city. MCCARTHY: Well, first the question becomes are we doing better or worse than we did in the past. Those 21 shootings was the exact number we had last year, so this is not a new phenomenon. That’s really the point. Back at the end of March, we were having a problem— shootings up 40%. We put into operation a number of components of our gang violence reduction strategy. The first one being the gang audit, figuring out who the gang members are, who is in conflict with who. Second part was the wrap-around strategy for narcotics. This tactic now – not giving gang members an i-bond, which means if you're arrested for a misdemeanor an officer brings you into the district, you get to sign your name basically identified and you can leave. The officers there are still doing paperwork. It just doesn't make sense. If we're trying to prevent retaliatory shootings by putting officers in those areas where we expect the shootings to happen those officers engage the gang members and take them off the street and the gang members are out on the street while the officer is doing paperwork. It doesn't make sense. ANCHOR 2: Obviously since mid-June or so "New York Times" did a major piece about how homicides were up here 38%, how the same wasn't true in New York and Los Angeles, all sorts of publicity coast to coast sprang from that. You’ve done many things. Give us some specifics, how things have improved since earlier in the summer thanks to maybe some of these programs you have initiated. MCCARTHY: Clearly at the end of March we had a problem. The murder rate was up 66%. Shooting rate was up by 40%. Right now the murder rate is 27%. The shooting rate is down to about 8% increase this year over last year. So we're trying to catch up to the first quarter where we got really far behind. I want to be clear. Even though we're improving over the last four months, we still have an unacceptable level of violence in the city. It comes from a number of reasons. Law enforcement is part of it. We accept our responsibility. These are the tactics that really didn't exist in the past that are now making a difference. Shootings are down 5% over the last four months. As the shootings go, the murder rate will follow. ANCHOR 1: It’s still sort of a numbers game when you look at it. The homicide rate in Chicago is still one of the highest in the nation. We’re higher than New York in real numbers. It’s higher than Afghanistan for the year. So the numbers are truly unacceptable. MCCARTHY: Clearly. ANCHOR 1: What is different about our community do you think is causing so many of these problems? MCCARTHY: There's really a number of things. The first one is an entrenched gang culture. We don't have that in New York. We did not have it in Newark, New Jersey. There were gangs but they weren't hierarchical, they weren't generational where you have a grandfather, a father, a baby in a crib wearing beads because they are gang members. The second thing is proliferation of fire arms in the state of Illinois. The simplest thing like the requirement to report the loss, theft or transfer of a firearm would make an enormous difference here. When I checked last year, we took seven guns off the street for every one that New York City took off the street. Now, think about that. If there it are three times the size of Chicago, how is it we could take seven guns per capita off the street? The third thing is the poverty rate in some of our neighborhoods. The breakup of the family unit, the educational levels. These are real social problems. Law enforcement can't fix all of them. We had a situation couple of weeks ago there was a 13-year-old shot at 1:00 a.m. it was reported, a 13-year-old got shot. What wasn't reported was the 13-year-old was engaged in a gun battle with somebody else in front of his house. That really kind of is a poignant moment in my mind where you say, what is it that puts a firearm in a 13-year-old's hand at 1:00 in the morning in front of his house. Law enforcement can do a lot about this, obviously we're accepting our responsibility, but it's going to take a while to get this straightened out. We have had the same murder rate for the last eight years. It was 900 back in the '90s, got it down to about 450, and that's where it's been stuck. ANCHOR 1: We really appreciate talking with you. Crime is top in mind for a lot of people. We hope you come back. MCCARTHY: Absolutely. My pleasure. WTTW's Chicago Tonight: CPS CEO JCB discusses upcoming school year and labor negotiations PHIL PONCE: up next, a new school year and the prospects for labor peace between the administration and Chicago teachers. classes for one-third of Chicago Public Schools resume today and it's the first day of the district-wide longer school day. how will the additional minutes be spent and what is the status of negotiations with teachers? we have Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis but first we're joined by Chicago Public Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard. welcome back to "Chicago tonight." JEAN-CLAUDE BRIZARD: thanks for having me. PONCE: today was the first day of school for track e schools. what was the turnout like? BRIZARD: 243 schools, 130,000 plus came back to school. turn out to be very good despite the weather. we will not get the final numbers for a few days but everything looked good today. PONCE: turn out is important because so much is -- so much funding is based on attendance. what are you doing to ensure a good turn-out? BRIZARD: we've been on the streets the last two weeks making calls to parents, visiting homes, telephone banks, Bud Billiken, television. every possible venue to remind parents of the first day of school we've been using because we know how important it is to set the tone from day one of the school year. PONCE: reminder. today was the first day of the longer school and as a way of refresher how much longer and what level of schools are experiencing the longer school day. BRIZARD: so great news longest school longer school year. about an hour-longer elementary schools. 52 minutes of direct instruction in front of a teacher plus recess comes back to CPS. in high schools it's about 36 minutes longer. 46 of instruction but 36 longer for the day. so wonderful changes to see happening in the high school and elementary. what kids will see this year is more reading, more math, more writing. again, recess comes back. and intervention and enrichment of the arts and music comes back to many of our schools across the city. PONCE: so recess was gone for most schools or all schools? BRIZARD: just about every elementary school in the city had no recess. PONCE: as far as instruction goes, where is the decision made as to what kind of instruction the students are getting? BRIZARD: it was important in this process and we heard from teachers and principals they wanted guidelines and minimum standards but also wanted to have local control of exactly how this is being used. one school for instance you will see schools go from 90 to 120 minutes of reading and writing. some schools go from, say, 45 minutes of social studies to more. in some cases from no social studies to 40. from zero to 25 minutes of recess. so across the board you see schools adding more in the core areas like math, reading, science and social studies. the environment and intervention to support kids needs is coming back. PONCE: so there can be differences among the different schools. how can a parent find out is when going on in his or her child's classroom? BRIZARD: they can call us. we can give them the specific school information or they can call the school themselves. but they'll look at the child's schedule for the day and be able to tell exactly what is happening throughout the school day. the reason we wanted the individual school flavor was because we know that principals and teachers know best what students need in their particular schools. so they adapted that kind of schedule to the children's needs. in one school for instance we saw more reading and writing at the elementary K-5 level. at the middle school we saw more science being added to the school day. PONCE: there was a report in the paper according to preliminary data the schools that went to a longer day last year, half of them performed above citywide averages and half of them performed below. what are you doing to tweak it so that there is more of an increase as opposed to being split 50-50? BRIZARD: first of all overall the average increase in the pioneer schools was 6 to 7 times the district average. so overall it was a success. but we also want to point out that time by itself is not a panacea. it is a means to an end. it still comes down to curriculum. to what is happening between teachers and children in the classroom of course the instructional material. so the longer time provides more time for practice, more time for children to learn, more time for teachers to teach. but we also understand that what really creates success is what happens between teachers, students and instructional materials. PONCE: let's talk some of the teachers you agreed to hire. 477 teachers. are those being held for the Chicago Public School system or do brand-new teachers have the ability to apply for those jobs? BRIZARD: the answer is yes. both is actually correct. we reserve the 477 for teachers displaced through no fault of their own. in the past 2 or 3 years. but if the positions are not fill bid veteran teachers the principal can hire somebody outside but first choice goes the tenured systems who were laid off through no fault of their own. PONCE: when you say through no fault of their own might that include as one report suggested the possibility that teachers who had not gotten very good evaluations will have to be hired back? BRIZARD: all the teachers received good evaluations. that is one of the stipulations in the agreement. so we look for people who received satisfactory or better evaluations from the principals. otherwise they would not be eligible. PONCE: when these 477 jobs were announced it was estimated the cost of adding those people to the payroll would be between $40 and $50 million and yet it's still been kind of vague as to where that money is coming from. where is that money coming from? BRIZARD: first of all the economic package for the entire contract is one that we still waiting to see what will happen ultimately with the raises that are being negotiated with the teachers union. but fundamentally the $40 or $50 million will have to come from a number of places. one, of overhead at the central office. efficiencies within the system and some cuts. so we're looking at different ways of reducing the system to fund the priorities within a system. but the rest of the obligation will have to come later as we better understand and negotiate with CTU on the full package. PONCE: some are concerned of the budget allocations might come at the expense of the district's commitment to charter schools. what is your response? BRIZARD: i really believe in equity. i believe in parody when it comes to charter schools and the ones run directly by CPS. those children are Chicago children. they're our kids our principals, etc. we got to maintain parody. none of us are look to cut charter funding. they're all our children. PONCE: from an outsider's perspective it appear once there was agreement and the to a change tone of the relationship. how would you describe what the nature of the relationship is now? BRIZARD: i think behind the scenes at the table it has always been cordial. very respectful of both sides in terms of us moving toward a resolution. we've gone through 400 plus issues over the past year since last november. as we're working through one issue at a time. we have big ones left on the table. PONCE: you say compensation, benefits, etc, i mean, those three things, those are big issues. BRIZARD: well we call it one issue i know is really important to Karen Lewis and the CTU the benefit package we give to teachers. their salary. those issues are not small issues but ones i am optimistic we can come to resolution on. the full school day agreement was a major milestone for us. if we can come to resolution on that, and remove that obstacle off the table, i am confident and optimistic we can do the rest. as long as the adults remain at the table and put good faith effort and so far that has been happening. PONCE: yet the union is telling teachers to prepare for a strike. how do you assess the likelihood of a strike? BRIZARD: again, my fundamental focus is to make sure that we don't have a strike. our children can't afford to have it. and my teachers do not want to go out on strike. we want to make sure that we keep talking and come to a resolution. it's possible. i've seen it happen. the full school day agreement is major point for us across the city that this is possible. and i really am optimistic we're going get there. PONCE: my understanding the length of the contract is still being negotiated. what is it Chicago Public Schools wants this terms of a length of contract? BRIZARD: i am looking for longer rather than shorter. i would like to provide stability. look at the past few years we've gone through many CEOs. at the same time, i do not want to be in a position of renegotiating every couple years. i'm looking for stability. the longer the better. we have to come on resolution on what that means. and i don't want to negotiate the actual years here with you, Phil, but I need a longer contract to have stability to the system so be can get back to teaching our children.

I am contacting you because I wanted to check in with you on the status of your team's evaluation of our proposal, and to provide you with a summary of the proposal that we sent to John Tolva (attached), in case you have a moment to familiarize yourself with the specifics of our plan. I created the summary after reading your recent piece in the Sun Times detailing the boom in Chicago's economy caused by your administration’s investments in job creation. While reading the article, I realized that the partnership we are proposing with the city aligns with your objectives almost identically. A partnership between the City of Chicago and Charge Station would create hitech manufacturing and service jobs in Chicago, improve public safety, and provide positive revenue to the City, with no start-up cost to the City, all while improving our public broadband and tourism infrastructure. We believe that Charge Stations represent an unrealized consumer and constituent need that your administration could proactively satisfy. This project would also serve as a physical sign of Chicago's place at the forefront of techfocused, global cities. If you'd like the to see the full proposal under consideration, please let me know and I will forward that to you immediately as well. Thank you for your continued engagement and leadership. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Glen Tullman, Hello. My name is Latonya Brown. I am one of “The Great 48”. I want to first and foremost thank both you and Mayor Rahm Emanuel for coming up with the college to careers program and giving us a chance to work with you. I really feel like you just came along and placed a gold mine in our laps. The environment that you have created here is beyond words. I really feel as if I am part of a family. I do not feel as if I am at a job. I just love my manager David Borowski, he is so nurturing, yet he doesn’t micro manage me. He gives me a task and allows me to have the room that I need to carry it out. Kelly Demma is so wonderful, whenever I need help and David is out of the office I can come to her at any time for help and she makes me feel so at ease and welcome. The O’Hare team is just awesome. There’s Neal Sauers who helps me wipe off the top of my cubicle because I am allergic to dust and I can’t reach all of the dust. There’s Mike, Terrence, Patrick, and Vince who are always available and willing to help us with any questions we may have, and they do it so freely without any baggage behind it. You have Gene, Angie, and Molly who just really make us feel welcome to be there, even with just a friendly, heartfelt, “Hello”. I could go on and on. It’s the little things that mean so much! I also wanted you to really understand the great impact that you have had on my life by inviting us to the ACE convention. I have really forged some friendships that will last a lifetime. The entire Care Management team really welcomed me with open arms. David, Sheri Brunton, Lauren Shannis, Terri Alphin, Brian Odle, Molly McGovern, and many more all because of the environment that you created. There was no feeling of “your new so we don’t care about you, or we’re upper management and your entry level so you can’t be around us”, never! The biggest thing is that I used to work at Navy Pier and McCormick Place. I used to be the person that served the food, or the bartender that served the drinks, for the event’s that we just enjoyed. So when you invited us to the convention and I got the chance to go back as the convention and not the server. That was a full circle moment. I don’t think anyone will ever know the true gravity of how that experience made me feel. You just don’t know how important that was to me, and the impact that this has had on me. All I could do was cry. I was so overwhelmed. I never felt so good being at a job in my life. The only time I have ever had this much fun was in my business of being self-employed. I was already inspired to do well above and beyond what was expected of me, but now after this convention, I want to see what else I can do to go well above that. You really do inspire people to be great. I just love it here. Thank you so very much. I am so grateful, blessed, happy, and privileged to be here! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The strike is regrettable but could have been avoided if representatives for the teachers put education for kids ahead of job protection and outdated seniority rules. This unfortunate situation does however provide a window of opportunity to focus the media and general public in another direction. Namely, toward more charter schools. Most have the longer day, teachers are evaluated on performance and generally these schools have better results based upon national and state testing standards. Also, City institutions should open their doors and provide educational outlets for students who have limited alternatives. This morning I attended a meeting with MSI and asked David Mosena if he was working with CPS. There didn't seem to be as much engagement as I would have thought, mainly because they hadn't been asked. You are wearing the white hat. I believe you position will prevail over time.

I've copied it below: "The most important civil rights battleground today is education, and, likewise, the most crucial struggle against poverty is the one fought in schools. Inner-city urban schools today echo the “separate but equal” system of the early 1950s. In theChicago Public Schools whereteachers are now on strike, 86 percent of children are black or Hispanic, and 87 percent come from low-income families. Those students often don’t get a solid education, any more than blacks received in their separate schools before Brown v. Board of Education. Chicago’s high school graduation rates have been improving but are still about 60 percent. Just 3 percent of black boys in the ninth grade end up earning a degree from a four-year college, according to the Consortium on Chicago School Research. America’s education system has become less a ladder of opportunity than a structure to transmit inequity from one generation to the next. That’s why school reform is so critical. This is an issue of equality, opportunity and national conscience. It’s not just about education, but about poverty and justice — and while the Chicago teachers’ union claims to be striking on behalf of students, I don’t see it. In fairness, it’s true that the main reason inner-city schools do poorly isn’t teachers’ unions, but poverty. Southern states without strong teachers’ unions have schools at least as lousy as those in union states. The single most important step we could take has nothing to do with unions and everything to do with providing early-childhood education to at-risk kids. Still, some Chicago teachers seem to think that they shouldn’t be held accountable until poverty is solved. There are steps we can take that would make some difference, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is trying some of them — yet the union is resisting. It’s unconscionable that, until recently, many Chicago elementary students had a school day almost an hour shorter than the national average and a school year two weeks shorter than the national average. Bravo to the mayor for trying to close the gaps. I’d be sympathetic if the unionfocused solely on higher compensation. Teachers need to be much better paid to attract the best college graduates to the nation’s worst schools. But, instead, the Chicago union seems to be using its political capitalprimarily to protect weak performers. There’s now solid evidence that there are huge differences in the effectiveness of teachers, even within high-poverty schools. The gold standard study, by Harvard and Columbia University scholars and released in December by the National Bureau of Economic Research, took data from a major urban school district and found that even in the context of poverty, teachers consistently had a huge positive or negative impact. Get a bottom 1 percent teacher, and the effect is the same as if a child misses 40 percent of the school year. Get a teacher from the top 20 percent, and it’s as if a child has gone to school for an extra month or two. The study found that strong teachers in the fourth through eighth grades raised the game of their students in ways that would last for decades. Just having a strong teacher for one elementary year left pupils a bit less likely to become mothers as teenagers, a bit more likely to go to college and earning more money at age 28. Removing the bottom 5 percent of teachers would have a huge impact. Students in a single classroom with an average teacher, rather than one from the bottom 5 percent, collectively will earn an additional $1.4 million over their careers, the study found. Another study, one from Los Angeles that has been contested, suggested that four years in a row of having a teacher from the top quarter of teachers, instead of from the bottom quarter, might be enough to erase the black-white testing gap. How does one figure out who is a weak teacher? Yes, that’s a challenge. But researchers are improving systems to measure “value added” from beginning to end of the year, and, with three years of data, it’s usually possible to tell which teachers are failing. Unfortunately, the union in Chicago is insisting that teachers who are laid off — often for being ineffective — should get priority in new hiring. That’s an insult to students. Teaching is so important that it should be like other professions, with high pay and good working conditions but few job protections for bottom performers. This isn’t a battle between garment workers and greedy corporate barons. The central figures in the Chicago schools strike are neither strikers nor managers but 350,000 children. Protecting elements of a broken and unaccountable school system — the union demand — sacrifices those students, in effect turning a blind eye to a “separate but equal” education system."

Except it's not going to happen. Late Thursday, Smith Electric canceled the IPO. It's not because Smith Electric isn't profitable at the moment. Actually, it's not profitable yet, but the investors who were clamoring for a piece of the potentially promising electric vehicle market didn't seem to mind. "We received significant interest from potential investors," said Bryan Hansel, Smith's chief executive officer. "However, we were unable to complete a transaction at a valuation or size that would be in the best interests of our company and its existing shareholders." Smith Electric's client list is a who's who of consumer-facing companies that welcome the opportunity to replace their fleets of diesel-slurping vehicles with trucks powered by electricity. As long as the fleet operators have predictable daily routes of no more than 120 miles before returning to the depot, Smith Electric's trucks are surprisingly easy to sell. For now, they'll keep selling the trucks -- but not stock.

Its report in July received a lot of attention, and one follow-up has been detailed reports of six individual states that have been examined in detail. Illinois stands out for obvious reasons, and that Report is scheduled to be released on October 24 with a press conference in Chicago. Would this be an occasion that you would be interested in attending and provide a brief introduction? Dick will be there to provide and deal with questions about the Report, which, given the perilous state of Illinois financing, is bound to attract attention. I am copying this e-mail to Kathleen Strand, and will call her to provide more background. So far, I hear Chicago is not only surviving but buoyed by Emanuel charm. Good luck.

Saban Forum 2012 will take place from Friday evening, November 30 to Sunday lunchtime, December 2, 2012, in Washington DC at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel. As you know, our past gatherings have allowed for an unparalleled level of candid dialogue and, because of this, the Saban Forum has become a seminal event for global leaders to exchange views and generate ideas for dealing with the complex challenges in the Middle East. Many notable participants have delivered addresses to previous Forums, including President William J. Clinton, President George W. Bush, HM King Abdullah of Jordan, President Shimon Peres and President Mahmoud Abbas, Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger, Condoleezza Rice, and Hillary Clinton, as well as Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon, Ehud Olmert, and Salam Fayyad. We would like you to participate in a conversation with leader of the Israeli opposition and Labor Party Leader, Shelly Yachimovich, during the luncheon session on Saturday, December 1, from 1:00-2.30 pm. The subject of the panel discussion will be “Closing the Social Gap in the United States and Israel.” This will be Shelly’s first appearance in the United States. This December we will convene in Washington at a moment of unparalleled challenge and opportunity. I hope you will grant us the benefit of your wisdom and the favor of your participation.

BLAKELY: in Humboldt park gunfire isn't rare. what's unusual is for police to be able to hear it recorded and pinpoint the location. That’s what happened September 11 in the 900 block of north central park. And the system that did it is called shots spotter. NBC5 News at 6PM: CPD Supt. McCarthy announces installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: Chicago's crime surveillance system is about to get some ears. Police superintendent Garry McCarthy has some new towers around the city that can hear a bullet shot, then tell where it came from. Charlie Wojciechowski has this story. REPORTER WOJCIECHOWSKI: Three shots rang out in the night instantaneously. And police know where they came from. That's the promise of a technology called Shot Spotter now being deployed by Chicago police. WGN News at 5PM: CPD Supt. McCarthy announces installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: Cops and computers. Chicago police using a high-tech sound machine to help them fight crime. Chicago Police Department used $200,000 in seized assets to pay for Shot Spotter. That’s a computer system that can analyze sound. So the system is already being tried out in Engelwood and three other areas where there’s a high rate of violent crime. Police Supt. Garry McCarthy is a fan of this tool and explained how it works. ABC7 News at 4PM: Police Superintendent McCarthy announces installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: In an effort to cut Chicago’s crime rate, police superintendent Garry McCarthy unveiled a new piece of technology today that he thinks will help officers investigating incidents that involve gunfire. More on this new high-tech crime fighting tool. REPORTER SCHULTE: You're listening to the sun of gunshots come from an exact address on the city’s West Side. WGN News at Noon: Police Supt. Garry McCarty to announce installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: Chicago police superintendent Garry McCarthy is announcing a new gunshot technology program today. McCarthy used a similar program when he was the chief of police in Newark, NJ. Acoustics sensors placed in high crime areas were able to detect the source of gunfire. The technology allowed officers to zero in on a location of gun violence to quickly dispatch police and paramedics. More details on how the program will work in Chicago will be released later today.

Police microphones pinpoint gunshots TRIBUNE // Jennifer Delgado Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said today the city is using acoustic sensors to detect and locate gunshots as a way to fight violence in two crime-ridden areas. The sensors, installed Sept. 1, are positioned in two 1.5-square-mile areas bordering the Englewood, Chicago Lawn, Harrison and Grand Crossing police districts. The technology already has helped police arrest two felons and recover two weapons, McCarthy said. "This is a program that I actually used in Newark, New Jersey, and we found it to be very, very successful," McCarthy said at a press conference. The one-year contract with ShotSpotter for the sensors costs about $200,000. McCarthy said the program will likely expand, though he did not provide specifics. ShotSpotter sensors can differentiate gunshot sounds from fireworks, car backfires and other noises, as well as filter out conversations, McCarthy said. Chicago Police Testing New Gunshot Detection Technology WBBM MIKE KRAUSER The Chicago Police Department is giving gunshot detection technology another try. WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said the so-called “ShotSpotter” technology in three different square-mile areas, covering parts of the Englewood, Chicago Lawn, Harrison and Grand Crossing police districts. “It can distill the difference between fireworks, backfires from vehicles, and things of the like – within seconds of the event occurring,” McCarthy said. Gunshot detection technology was tested previously in Chicago between 2003 and 2007, but was rejected as too expensive and ineffective. “You know, that’s a century in the technological world. They’ve improved it dramatically,” McCarthy said. “It’s very, very accurate. My understanding is it triangulates it to sometimes down to a foot, or three feet.” He said it’s already been successful in several incidents. “In these incidents, ShotSpotter successfully identified shots fired events, and effectively directed our officers before receiving 911 calls for service from the public,” McCarthy said. The $200,000 cost has been covered by forfeited assets. ALDERMAN BRENDAN REILLY PROPOSES IDEA TO HELP PREVENT CRIME WGN News at Noon: Ald. Brendan Reilly proposes idea to help prevent crime ANCHOR: A Chicago alderman has come up with an idea to handle the police manpower shortage without straining the city’s budget. Brendan Reilly suggests north Michigan avenue businesses hire offduty cops for extra patrols. Reilly says it would help the department concentrate on lowering crime in other parts of the city. Police superintendent Garry McCarthy says he's interested in the idea. McCarthy says he's also frustrated by the number of "non-emergency" calls his officers are forced to respond to when they could be fighting crime in the streets. FOX News at 12PM: Ald. Reilly and Police Supt. McCarthy discuss policing ideas ANCHOR: Chicago Police Supt. Gary McCarthy says we don't need more police officers; we need fewer guns on the streets. That was his message for aldermen when he testified in front of the City Council budget committee. A number of aldermen think the city needs more officers than the 500 in the mayor's budget. McCarthy says more has to be done to deal with the massive number of guns on the streets. Another thing that came up was the idea of having off-duty officers providing extra security on the mag mile. 42nd ward alderman says business owners have expressed interest in hiring the cops for extra patrols. Supt. McCarthy mentioned that New York City has a similar program for Yankees games. WGN News at 11AM: Ald.

PLACKO: What started as a seemingly crazy idea about goats at O'hare has turned into a bidding battle between goat lovers nationwide. O’Hare to extend its people mover two miles to rental-car campus SUN TIMES //FRAN SPIELMAN O’Hare Airport’s 2.7-mile people mover system will be upgraded to accommodate more passengers and extended two miles — to a rental car campus and parking garage with access to an existing Metra station, a top mayoral aide disclosed Thursday. Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie Andolino pegged the cost of the people mover extension at $340 million and the combined cost of the extension and rental car campus at more than $700 million. She said the $8 fee slapped onto the cost of renting a car at O’Hare in 2010 should be enough to cover both projects. The people mover will be extended to Parking Lot F at the southeast corner of Mannheim and Zemke. That’s where the city is building a new five-level economy parking structure to be shared by rental cars and public parking with convenient access to an existing Metra station. The extension is expected to be completed in 2016. Commissioner makes push for slot machines at O’Hare Airport SUN TIMES // FRAN SPIELMAN Airports around the world have gambling to help air travelers while away the time between flights, and slot machines at O’Hare Airport would do the same, a top mayoral aide said Thursday. Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie Andolino put in a plug for slots at O’Hare, even though Gov. Pat Quinn last year ruled out slot machines at racetracks, O’Hare and Midway Airports and the Il. State Fairgrounds. “There are airports all around the world that have gaming. And as people do have four-hour layovers, it could be something they could do. They could get a spa treatment. They can eat. And then, they could be entertained,” Andolino said under questioning Thursday at City Council budget hearings. “The good thing about that is, it is on the secure side of the airport. Amsterdam. Inchon in Korea. There’s airports all around the world that have gaming.” Toni Preckwinkle's chief of staff to depart TRIBUNE // Melissa Harris Kurt Summers Jr., chief of staff to Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, will leave his post in early November to join Chicago-based investment firm Grosvenor Capital Management as senior vice president, Summers said in an interview this week. The politically connected investment firm is run by World Business Chicago Vice Chairman Michael Sacks, a close adviser to and friend of Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Grosvenor is considered a hedge fund of funds because its primary business is to invest in multiple hedge funds on behalf of large investors, such as pension funds, corporations and sovereign wealth funds. Sacks, reached via email from Tokyo, declined to describe what Summers will be doing in his new role but wrote, "We look forward to Kurt joining our senior management team and are confident he will have a positive impact for our clients and for our firm." Rahm's 'Aggressive' Fundraising, Murdoch-Trib Rumors, Durbin Cabinet Questions CHICAGO MAG // CAROL FELSENTHAL Following the ins and outs of politics and media is fascinating because they are endlessly tangled with subplots and characters—increasingly in the Obama administration, Chicago characters. Below are the political stories that caught my eye in the past few days: + Mayor Rahm Emanuel gave up the title of co-chair of the Obama campaign in exchange for the job of raising money for Democratic SuperPACS, which have been “severely,” as Mitt Romney might say, outraised by their Republican counterparts. Things have improved since Rahm (and Bill Clinton) got involved, and, according to the New York Times, Priorities USA Action raised $15.2 million in September. Fundraising, the Times reports, was “aggressive,” a word that, overall, is the best and safest adjective to link to Rahm’s name. New contracts approved, but school district budget concerns loom WBEZ // BECKY VEVEA Chicago public school teachers and the district’s new CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett officially have contracts for the coming years. Byrd-Bennett will make $250,000 per year running the city’s public schools—the same as what her predecessor Jean-Claude Brizard made annually during his short tenure. Brizard stepped down two weeks ago in the wake of speculation about his performance and how much influence he had in shaping policy. Brizard gets one year’s salary as part of his severance. The new appointment came at the same time the Board of Education approved the new Chicago Teachers Union contract. In the first year, that contract will cost the district $103 million, officials said, but the average annual cost is pegged at $74 million. The higher cost in year one is partially due to the 3 percent raise, as opposed to a 2 percent raise in years two and three. CEC gala is no "Animal House," but J.B., Ferro and Tilton rip off their ties CRAIN’S // SHIA KAPOS When J.B. Pritzker walked into the tent at Millennium Park on Wednesday, he yanked off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. It was a dramatic move played out several times at the check-in counter at the annual Momentum awards dinner sponsored by the Chicago Entrepreneurial Center, or CEC. The party, after all, was a no-tie formal. Most guests followed the rule, but I spotted ties here and there—including, fittingly, at a table full of Trunk Club employees. All the men but Brian Spaley, who heads the men's clothier, wore ties. He says a tie didn't work because of his bold, checkered suit. Behind the guise of a fundraiser for the entrepreneurial center, the Momentum dinner is a giant networking party that stands out for not following the rules. When speeches are perfunctory, guests talk amongst themselves. COLUMNISTS AND EDITORIALS Money still flooding into local U.S. House races -- but not for Joe Walsh CRAIN’S // GREG HINZ With just a week-and-a-half to go until Election Day, outside super PAC money is still flooding into three hotly contested suburban races for Congress. Though Republicans are getting most of it, the Democrats seem to be holding their own. And the big cash may have finally dried up for Joe Walsh after his latest verbal controversy. Here's the latest, district by district: In the west suburban 11th District, pitting GOP incumbent Judy Biggert against former Democratic Congressman Bill Foster, the grand total of outside cash has hit a nifty $5.56 million, according to reports collected by the Sunlight Foundation, a Washington, D.C., watchdog group. Ms. Biggert is the clear leader by that count, with the National Republican Congressional Committee reporting $1.162 million in expenditures on her behalf so far, and four PACs, including groups put together by Realtors and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, spending about $2.1 million on Mr. Foster. Cubs will do their own ticket scalping, thank you TRIBUNE // Steve Rosenbloom Sometimes the Cubs can be as sanctimonious off the field as they are inept on it. Take, for instance, this week’s news that the Cubs are cracking down on people who purchase season tickets solely to resell them. In a non-renewal notice sent to about 40 accounts this week, the Cubs wrote they “are dedicated to ensuring Cubs games and other events at Wrigley Field remain available to as many fans as possible who are interested in enjoyable and memorable experiences.’’ Sanctimonious tripe right there, if not a flat lie. Look, a scalper loses money if a seat stays unscalped. A scalper’s livelihood depends on “ensuring Cubs games and other events at Wrigley Field remain available to as many fans as possible.’’ So, a scalper’s mission statement mirrors the Cubs’ mission statement. In fact, scalpers are such a great example of carrying out the team’s message that the Cubs should hire scalpers to teach plate discipline. BUSINESS Chicago-area unemployment drops to 8% CRAIN’S // BRIGID SWEENY The Illinois Department of Employment Security says unemployment dropped during September in each of the state's dozen metro areas. The department said today in its monthly metro report that the biggest decreases were in the Rockford and Chicago-Joliet-Naperville areas. Unemployment dropped from 13.6 percent in September 2011 to 11 percent last month in Rockford and from 10.1 percent to 8 percent in greater Chicago. Local unemployment in those areas also declined from a month ago. According to IDES, Rockford's August 2012 unemployment rate was 11.7 percent and Chicago's was 8.8 percent. The number of jobs increased in seven metro areas, fell in three and were essentially unchanged in two. Chicago metro unemployment rate drops to 8 percent TRIBUNE // STAFF The unemployment rates are down in all of Illinois' metro areas compared to last year, according to Illinois Department of Employment Security figures released Thursday. The Chicago-area unemployment rate dropped to 8 percent in September, the lowest rate in four years and down from 10.1 percent a year ago, IDES said. It stood at 8.8 percent in August. The figures released Thursday show that the DavenportMoline-Rock Island area logged the lowest rate last month at 6.5 percent. That was down from 7.3 percent in September 2011. Rockford remains the Illinois metro area with the highest unemployment rate, but it dropped from 13.6 percent in September 2011 to 11 percent last month. Employment Security Director Jay Rowell says the improved metro unemployment rates show that Illinois has made progress but more needs to be done. Chicago unemployment rate declines to 8 percent SUN TIMES // SANDRA GUY The Chicago-area unemployment rate dropped to 8 percent in September, the lowest rate in four years and down from 10.1 percent a year ago, the Illinois Department of Employment Security reported Thursday. The Chicago area’s unemployment rate stood at 8.8 percent in August. All areas of the state had declines in unemployment from a year ago, and all are seeing their lowest unemployment rates since September 2008, said IDES spokesman Greg Rivara. The largest declines in unemployment were Rockford, down 2.6 points to 11 percent from 13.6 percent a year ago, followed by Chicago metro and Kankakee-Bradley, down 1.3 points to 10.5 percent from last September’s 11.8 percent. Another HQ shifting to Loop from suburbs CRAIN’S // RYAN ORI 55 W. Monroe St. Photo from CoStar Group Inc. A Lombard-based marketing firm is joining the suburbsto-city migration, moving its headquarters to the Loop in a bid to attract talented urban workers. The Marketing Store Worldwide LLC signed a 10-year lease for 31,348 square feet at 55 W. Monroe St., a move that shrinks the firm's space but could potentially boost its growth. The agency, a subsidiary of Downers Grove-based logistics firm Havi Group L.P., plans to move its headquarters from 701 E. 22nd St. in west suburban Lombard in January, said Simon Marshall, executive vice president and managing director of North America. “It's moving to a much more collaborative space, and it's about gaining access to talent,” Mr. Marshall said. “As our industry becomes more digitized, the talent is not in the suburbs, it's downtown. The whole strategy for coming downtown and repositioning the agency is about growth. I hope that in two years I'm running out of space.” Skills, job gap widens for local manufacturing firms CRAIN’S // S.A. SWANSON Local manufacturing encompasses a mind-boggling array of stuff, from Little League trophies to biopsy needles. But there's something manufacturers can't get from a production line, and it's what they need most: skilled workers. Say “skills gap” to any manufacturer, and invariably they'll respond with the number 600,000. That's the gaping hole of unfilled jobs at U.S. manufacturers — for Illinois, estimates point to 30,000 unfilled jobs. The talent shortfall carries serious consequences. In a Manufacturing Institute 2011 skills gap report surveying more than 1,100 U.S. manufacturers, 74 percent of respondents said a lack of skilled production workers was harming productivity or hindering their ability to expand operations. That skills gap will widen. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers, based in Dearborn, Mich., predicts the number of unfilled manufacturing jobs will reach 3 million by 2015. CME to being payouts to Peregrine customers REUTERS // STAFF CME Group Inc. plans next month to begin paying $2 million to former clients of Peregrine Financial Group, the failed futures brokerage looted for years by its now-jailed founder. The payments will go to nearly 200 farmers, ranchers and cooperatives who traded on CME's exchanges, a CME spokeswoman told Reuters on Thursday. The payouts are CME's first from a fund it established in response to the collapse of MF Global last October, which left a $1.6 billion shortfall in customer funds and shook confidence in an industry where the safety of customer money had long been an article of faith. CME designed the $100 million fund as a backstop in case the unthinkable should again happen. It launched the fund in April, offering protection to farmers and ranchers who use CME's markets to hedge grains and livestock. CME Group profits tumble 31 percent in third quarter SUN TIMES // DAVID ROEDER CME Group Inc., owner of the Chicago futures markets, Thursday reported a 31 percent decline in thirdquarter profit on a slowdown in trading activity. The company, which makes most of its money on trading fees, said profit declined to $218 million, 66 cents a share, from $316.1 million, 95 cents a share, in the third quarter of 2011. Revenue fell 22 percent to $683.2 million. The results included a onetime tax charge of $16 million related to an acquisition. Without that charge, earnings would have been 70 cents a share. An analyst survey by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S produced a consensus earnings estimate of 69 cents a share. CME’s Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade hold an overwhelming market share in U.S. futures trading, but business at all exchanges has declined as some high-frequency trading firms have curtailed activity. Futures trading also has seen two high-profile scandals involving firms that lost customer funds. Tenneco shares jump 16% on 3Q results TRIBUNE // STAFF Shares in auto-parts supplier Tenneco were up 16 percent, to $31.09, in mid-morning trading, as the Lake Forest company posted record revenue of $13.8 billion in the third quarter. Revenue totaled $1.78 billion, up from $1.77 billion a year earlier. Net income of net income of $125 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, included a $74 million allowance based on a tax ruling. IHS Automotive Forecasts sees the company benefiting from continued strength in the North American and Chinese auto markets in the fourth quarter. United Continental reports smaller profits SUN TIMES // JOSHUA FREED It was a rough third quarter for United Airlines. Travelers stayed away, frustrated by technology glitches from United’s merger with Continental. And a huge accounting charge wiped out most of its profit. United’s performance weakened by every measure important to airlines: Per-passenger revenue fell 2.6 percent, and was down in every part of the world except for the Pacific. Traffic decreased 1.5 percent. Yield, which measures fares paid, slipped 1.2 percent. Net income for United Continental Holdings Inc. dropped to $6 million, or 2 cents per share, from $653 million, or $1.69 per share, a year earlier. Its most recent profit would have been bigger if not for a special charge for a preliminary agreement with its pilots. But excluding that charge, its profit of $1.35 per share was still 12 cents less than expected by analysts surveyed by FactSet. McDonald's steps up Canadian expansion REUTERS // STAFF McDonald's Corp. has stepped up its expansion in Canada again after holding back for more than five years, and the fast-food chain's Canadian chief sees the potential for a much larger footprint across the country. "This year we're going to build more restaurants than we've built in the last seven or eight years," Canada President John Betts told Reuters on Thursday. "Next year it's going to ramp up from that." CHICAGO Friend denies coverup of bar beating by off-duty cop TRIBUNE // Annie Sweeney Friends since the fourth grade, Gary Ortiz knew his pal Anthony Abbate was in trouble nearly six years ago after the off-duty Chicago cop was caught on videotape violently attacking a female bartender. But in testimony today for a federal lawsuit over the February 2007 beating at Jesse’s Short Stop Inn on the Northwest Side, Ortiz told a jury he never threatened the bartender, Karolina Obrycka, into dropping the matter, as her lawyers alleged. In fact, Ortiz was trying to help Obrycka, who after the attack was complaining of back problems, he testified. “I told her, ‘Go to the hospital,’ ” said Ortiz, striking a sympathetic tone. “And when Tony wakes up and realizes what he did, he’ll apologize and pay. … I know how Tony is.” Bed bug found at juvenile court complex SUN TIMES // JON SEIDEL A single bed bug was found last week at the Cook County juvenile court complex, an official said Thursday. It was found in the file area of the clerk’s office on the building’s concourse level, said Kristen Mack, a spokeswoman for the county board president. Someone reported seeing a bed bug Oct. 16, she said, and an exterminator was called to treat and inspect the area the next day. Mack said it turned out to be an “isolated situation.” She said the exterminator checked several offices and courtrooms to put people’s minds at ease, but no infestation was found — just the one bug. She said officials are keeping an eye on it. ILLINOIS AND SPRINGFIELD Spending climbs on Blagojevich-era Medicaid expansion CRAIN’S // KRISTEN SCHORSCH As the cost of expanding Medicaid to cover more children continues to rise, a measure pushed by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich is bucking the Quinn administration's strategy of revamping the program to rein in expenses. The net cost of the 2006 expansion of the All Kids health insurance program has shot up 22 percent, to $85.8 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2011, from $70.2 million in fiscal 2009, according to a new report by the Illinois auditor general. Costs are rising faster than enrollment, which was about 75,000 children and teenagers in fiscal 2011, up just 5 percent from fiscal 2009, according to the report. Raising the income thresholds for the All Kids program and adding coverage for undocumented immigrant children were high-profile legislative accomplishments for Mr. Blagojevich, who had a rocky relationship with the Illinois General Assembly. Duckworth criticizes Walsh on abortion TRIBUNE // Duaa Eldeib and Monique Garcia Democrat Tammy Duckworth today campaigned with a California congresswoman who said she had to have an abortion to save her life as part of Duckworth's ongoing effort to highlight her differences with Republican Rep. Joe Walsh. The appearance with Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier came after Walsh's remark last week that it was never medically necessary for a woman to have an abortion to save her life. The freshman GOP lawmaker later said there were "very rare circumstances" for a life-saving abortion. Duckworth also has sought to link Walsh with Republican Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who said this week that a pregnancy after rape is "something that God intended to happen," and Todd Akin, the Missouri Republican Senate candidate who said this summer that in cases of "legitimate rape," a woman's body can prevent pregnancy. Quinn’s “grassroots campaign” will wait until after the election CAPITOL FAX // STAFF Gov. Pat Quinn’s budget spokesman was asked this week when Quinn was going to launch his plan to “activate the grassroots,” which he announced in August and has kept putting off since then… Pallasch said Quinn’s plans to wage a grass-roots campaign to get voters on board with pension cuts will start after the election and before lawmakers are set to return to Springfield at the end of November. * The governor was asked in Champaign-Urbana yesterday about the grassroots campaign. He had initially put it off until after the presidential conventions, then came up with more excuses for why it hadn’t yet launched. Check out his very Quinnesque response… “Well, we’ll be talking about that very shortly. I think we’ll let the election take place on November 6th. That’s got everyone’s attention, obviously, and it’s very, very important to our country and our democracy. Tollway to spend $771 million on I-90 and Elgin-O'Hare bypass in 2013 TRIBUNE // Richard Wronski The Illinois Tollway will spend $771 million next year starting work on the rebuilding and widening of the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway and the new Elgin-O’Hare bypass project, according to a tentative 2013 budget the agency unveiled today. Other projects next year are completion of the new interchange on Interstate 90 at Illinois Highway 47 near Huntley and continued work on the new connection between the Tri-State Tollway (I-294) and Interstate 57 near Markham. To help pay for these projects, the tollway anticipates raking in $977 million from tolls in 2013 – thanks to the 87.5 percent increase that went into effect Jan. 1. No new tolls are expected, Executive Director Kristi Lafleur said. The work is part of the tollway’s $12.1 billion, 15-year public works program. The tollway plans to issue as much as $1 billion in new bonds in 2013 to pay for the new projects and future capital needs, officials said. Illinois still in grip of worst drought in decades TRIBUNE // STAFF Most of Illinois, including the Chicago area, remains abnormally dry as the worst U.S. drought in decades shows few signs of easing. Most of the Chicago area is either abnormally dry, with northwest suburbs and counties in north central and northwest Illinois still in severe to extreme drought, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s weekly Drought Monitor report. Drought conditions have only eased slightly in the last month, with 91 percent of the state still at least abnormally dry, down from 100 percent Sept. 25. Only a few counties in central and southern Illinois have moved out of drought conditions, according to the U.S.D.A. Throughout much of the country, farmers are closing out their corn harvests and pivoting toward growing winter wheat that's now struggling in the dry conditions. The weekly drought update released today shows that more than roughly 62 percent of the land in the lower 48 states is experiencing some degree of drought. Wheaton Park District considers building hotel near golf course TRIBUNE // Michelle Manchir A plan to put a hotel near the clubhouse at Wheaton's Arrowhead Golf Club faces many hurdles, including gaining the support of some park district commissioners. A plan to put a hotel near the clubhouse at Wheaton's Arrowhead Golf Club faces many hurdles, including gaining the support of some park district commissioners. Wheaton park district officials this week discussed a proposal that would put a 100- to 120-room hotel on the course grounds near its public 27-hole course and clubhouse at 26W151 Butterfield Road. Three hotel development firms have expressed interest in pursuing a ground lease at the property, said park district director Mike Benard. Park district officials estimate the hotel could bring in about $200,000 in additional revenue each year, Benard said. Endangered wolf leaving Brookfield Zoo to enter the wild SUN-TIMES // STAFF A Mexican gray wolf who has lived at Brookfield Zoo since 2010 will leave this week to prepare to enter the wild, joining 58 of the endangered animals roaming free in New Mexico and Arizona. On Saturday, Ernesta will be taken to U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Wolf Management Facility at the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge near Socorro, NM, according to the Chicago Zoological Society. The goal is to bolster the population of a species once on the verge of extinction. She will then choose a mate and the pair will receive survival skills conditioning — a sort of pre-release boot camp — to prepare them for life in the wild, according to a release from CZS. The boot camp is to assure the wolves are good candidates for release. FULL ARTICLES Another HQ shifting to Loop from suburbs CRAIN’S // RYAN ORI 55 W. Monroe St. Photo from CoStar Group Inc. A Lombard-based marketing firm is joining the suburbsto-city migration, moving its headquarters to the Loop in a bid to attract talented urban workers. The Marketing Store Worldwide LLC signed a 10-year lease for 31,348 square feet at 55 W. Monroe St., a move that shrinks the firm's space but could potentially boost its growth. The agency, a subsidiary of Downers Grove-based logistics firm Havi Group L.P., plans to move its headquarters from 701 E. 22nd St. in west suburban Lombard in January, said Simon Marshall, executive vice president and managing director of North America. “It's moving to a much more collaborative space, and it's about gaining access to talent,” Mr. Marshall said. “As our industry becomes more digitized, the talent is not in the suburbs, it's downtown. The whole strategy for coming downtown and repositioning the agency is about growth. I hope that in two years I'm running out of space.” Moving downtown has become an increasingly popular option for many firms with suburban offices that want to hire younger, techoriented employees who live in the city and don't want to make the daily trek to the suburbs. The list includes Google Inc., which decided this summer to move its recently acquired Motorola Mobility unit — and its 2,300 employees — from north suburban Libertyville to the Merchandise Mart in River North. The Marketing Store's headquarters have been in the western suburbs since it was founded in 1986. It had been leasing a combined 65,000 square feet in Lombard and in smaller offices at 1801 S. Meyers Road in Oakbrook Terrace and at 150 N. Wacker Drive downtown, said Robert Sevim, executive managing director at New York-based tenant brokerage Studley Inc. Mr. Sevim and Joe Learner, executive vice president at Studley, advised the Marketing Store in its space search. Although it is chopping its office space, the Marketing Store will be able to accommodate all 160 Chicago-area employees at 55 W. Monroe, and add staff if needed, because it can pack more people into the space, Mr. Marshall said. The 10-year lease includes options to add space, Mr. Sevim said. The 40-story, 807,882-square-foot tower, designed by Helmut Jahn, was about 75 percent leased when Chicago-based Hearn Co. bought it for $136 million in December 2011. With the new lease, it will be about 80 percent occupied, said Edward McKim, a Hearn vice president. Most of the existing tenants are law and professional services firms, said Jack McKinney Jr., a vice president Chicago-based J.F. McKinney & Associates Ltd. who represented the landlord in the lease. Hearn has upgraded several areas of the building at Monroe and Dearborn streets, including an overhaul of the fitness center, in an effort to appeal to a wider range of tenants, he said. “We really wanted to diversify the tenant roster, and adding the Marketing Store moves us in that direction,” Mr. McKim said. One of the Marketing Store's most visible marketing assignments is helping McDonald's Corp. design its Happy Meal toys and its Monopoly game. Its client list also includes Coca-Cola Co., General Mills Inc., Porsche and Nissan. In addition to exposed ceilings and an open layout to encourage collaboration, its new office space will include an innovation lab for testing the use of new technologies to interact with customers in stores, Mr. Marshall said. Mr. Marshall said the move to the Loop was not in response to other tech-oriented companies moving downtown from the suburbs. “We reached this conclusion very much thinking of ourselves and our clients, but it's nice to see that we're swimming with the tide,” he said. Money still flooding into local U.S. House races -- but not for Joe Walsh CRAIN’S // GREG HINZ With just a week-and-a-half to go until Election Day, outside super PAC money is still flooding into three hotly contested suburban races for Congress. Though Republicans are getting most of it, the Democrats seem to be holding their own. And the big cash may have finally dried up for Joe Walsh after his latest verbal controversy. Here's the latest, district by district: In the west suburban 11th District, pitting GOP incumbent Judy Biggert against former Democratic Congressman Bill Foster, the grand total of outside cash has hit a nifty $5.56 million, according to reports collected by the Sunlight Foundation, a Washington, D.C., watchdog group. Ms. Biggert is the clear leader by that count, with the National Republican Congressional Committee reporting $1.162 million in expenditures on her behalf so far, and four PACs, including groups put together by Realtors and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, spending about $2.1 million on Mr. Foster. But Democratic groups have weighed in very heavily for him, with the House Majority PAC spending $1.02 million and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, $683,000. And, with both candidates also spending deeply out of their own accounts, I'm not sure the Biggert financial edge is meaningful. Similarly, in the north suburban 10th district, GOP incumbent Bob Dold has received just over $2 million in favorable ads courtesy of the NRCC. But the two Democratic groups that weighed in for Mr. Foster have been almost as generous up north, with a combined $1.33 million so far. Overall, the district has seen an influx of $4.5 million in outside super PAC cash — not counting another $1 million on Mr. Dold's behalf that the Congressional Leadership Fund this afternoon said it would plop into the district. The real story, though, may be in the northwest suburban 8th District brawl between GOP incumbent Mr. Walsh and Democratic challenger Tammy Duckworth. If you'll recall, a Missouri-based group that already has spent more than $2 million on the race, the Now or Never PAC, had threatened to spend another $2.5 million on Mr. Walsh, telling me that they were "seriously considering" doing that. But, as of this writing, there's no sign they have — and it now is very, very, very late for a big buy. In fact, the Now or Never total hasn't changed in a week, according to Sunlight. And Democratic sources say the group has not reserved TV time. Now or Never's spokesman did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Why the apparent switch? Maybe it was a fake from the beginning. Or maybe Mr. Walsh's latest comments, which he since partially walked back, that a woman "never" needs an abortion to save her life convinced the group it would be wasting its money. Or maybe it was those new Duckworth ads labeling Mr. Walsh a "deadbeat" — a charge the candidate brought out his son to refute a few days ago. Anyhow, the Walsh campaign now says it's being badly outspent by House Majority PAC spots that aren't yet reflected in the Sunlight database. Which means Ms. Duckworth may be winning the TV wars. CEC gala is no "Animal House," but J.B., Ferro and Tilton rip off their ties CRAIN’S // SHIA KAPOS When J.B. Pritzker walked into the tent at Millennium Park on Wednesday, he yanked off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. It was a dramatic move played out several times at the check-in counter at the annual Momentum awards dinner sponsored by the Chicago Entrepreneurial Center, or CEC. The party, after all, was a no-tie formal. Most guests followed the rule, but I spotted ties here and there—including, fittingly, at a table full of Trunk Club employees. All the men but Brian Spaley, who heads the men's clothier, wore ties. He says a tie didn't work because of his bold, checkered suit. Behind the guise of a fundraiser for the entrepreneurial center, the Momentum dinner is a giant networking party that stands out for not following the rules. When speeches are perfunctory, guests talk amongst themselves. When waiters start serving dinner, guests stand and network some more. And when honorees take the stage, sometimes to Blues Brothers music, their comments are off the cuff and sometimes brash. Michael Ferro, the Merrick Ventures CEO who received the entrepreneurial champion of the year award, thanked his wife, Jacky, and noted that she was "hot" when he married her and she's hot now. In working the room, I came across one top CEO after another, and always with a wanna-be close behind. Mr. Pritzker, for example, had a crowd of entrepreneurs hovering around as he mucked it up with CEC President and CEO Kevin Willer, party co-chair Bryant Keil and Scott Swanson, president of Charter One and RBS Citizens banks. Other names in the crowd included Vern Broders of Gentry Partners Ltd.; entrepreneur educator Raman Chadha; venture capitalist Lon Chow; Siri Inc. co-founder and CEO Dag Kittlaus; Lightbank partner Paul Lee; GrubHub co-founder Matt Maloney; BuiltinChicago.org founder Matt Moog; Chicago Cubs owner Tom Ricketts; Lake Capital operating executive Mark Tebbe and his real estate executive wife Robin; and Howard Tullman, president and CEO of Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy. See a photo gallery and recap of the evening here. Francee Harrington was among a group from J.P. Morgan Chase to support colleagues Glenn Tilton, Chase's Midwest chairman, and Laura Ferris Anderson, who was a co-chair of the event. Chase received the corporate champion award. Even old-guard executives mingled, including Jack Sandner, the longtime chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Now an executive with Etrade Group, he fit right in the crowd — sans tie. Skills, job gap widens for local manufacturing firms CRAIN’S // S.A. SWANSON Local manufacturing encompasses a mind-boggling array of stuff, from Little League trophies to biopsy needles. But there's something manufacturers can't get from a production line, and it's what they need most: skilled workers. Say “skills gap” to any manufacturer, and invariably they'll respond with the number 600,000. That's the gaping hole of unfilled jobs at U.S. manufacturers — for Illinois, estimates point to 30,000 unfilled jobs. The talent shortfall carries serious consequences. In a Manufacturing Institute 2011 skills gap report surveying more than 1,100 U.S. manufacturers, 74 percent of respondents said a lack of skilled production workers was harming productivity or hindering their ability to expand operations. That skills gap will widen. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers, based in Dearborn, Mich., predicts the number of unfilled manufacturing jobs will reach 3 million by 2015. Despite the dire outlook, some say there's a relatively simple way to defuse the sector's talent bomb. Peter Cappelli, for one, likens manufacturers' talent complaints to shopping for a car, not finding the vehicle you want within your budget — and then concluding there's a car shortage. “If you want to get people into a particular field, you might start by paying them more,” says Mr. Cappelli, director of the Center for Human Resources at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. “Or make the training more attractive and easier to do.” Entry-level wages for machinists in Illinois were $12.74 an hour in 2011, or $26,500 annually. The median, meanwhile, was $18.82, or $39,150 annually, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security. By contrast, the average wage for a machinist 25 years ago was $12.08 an hour, according to a survey conducted in 1986 by the Illinois Manufacturers' Association. Adjusted for inflation, that wage would be $25.51 today. And for young people considering a career in manufacturing, recent employment trends could be discouraging. Manufacturing employment statewide stood at 594,800 in September, according to IDES; 10 years ago, the figure was 799,100. Filling the skills gap will become even more critical in coming years, as manufacturing equipment becomes more technical, requiring an even higher aptitude for math and computer skills. And then, there's the retirement problem. “One of the largest manufacturers in the world is telling us that they're going to lose 40 percent of their workforce in the next couple of years,” says Jeannine Kunz, SME's director of professional development. Confidentiality prevents her from naming the company, she says, “but if I told you, it would scare you.” To address the skills shortage, Ms. Kunz says she's seeing manufacturers invest more in training. She acknowledges that's a shift from the economic boom at the end of the 20th century, when many manufacturers cut training programs. “Now we're kind of paying the price,” she says. It's possible that the retirement wave could have an upside, says Steve Ferrara, chief operating officer of BDO USA and a member of the Chicago-based accounting and consulting firm's manufacturing industry group. He sees it as “an opportunity for innovation, because some of the older people are afraid of technology,” he says. “These kids today, they grow up with a computer in their crib.” Of course, that opportunity hinges on the ability to sway tech-savvy youngsters toward careers in manufacturing. The sector has an image problem. “You're dealing with people whose great-uncle worked in manufacturing, and their memory of manufacturing is of a shrinking industry,” says Michael Sloan, dean of agricultural and industrial technologies at Illinois Central College in East Peoria. At his school, culinary arts classes fill quickly, but that's not the case for the one-month classes that give 160 hours of training to operate computer numerical control machines—even though local manufacturers have about 250 CNC jobs open. The school has trained two dozen CNC operators this year, an improvement over last year, when about five people signed up. 'GROW THEIR OWN' The solution, as Pam McDonough sees it, is for manufacturers to “grow their own” via training. But training can be expensive and time-consuming, particularly for smaller firms. The organization she heads, NORBIC, the North Business and Industrial Council, and sister organization the Alliance for Illinois Manufacturing, aim to help businesses handle the paperwork required to get state and federal training grants. “The little guys don't even know about programs like this because they're so buried in trying to run their business,” she says. Some manufacturers are training lower-skilled employees to take on higher-skilled jobs. For several years, that strategy has succeeded at Nation Pizza Products in Schaumburg. That includes providing language training, because some higher-skilled machines require a certain level of English comprehension. But lifting lower-rung employees up the ladder doesn't fill every open position, says Michael Alagna, Nation Pizza's chief operating officer. For many employees in lower-skilled positions, like assemblers, today's skills gap looks more like a chasm. Many lack the basic math or computer aptitude required to operate more sophisticated machinery. “In the past, a maintenance mechanic had a wrench, a hammer and a screwdriver,” he says. “Today, if you're talking about running or maintaining a machine, you have to know ratios. You have to be able to go into the computer and find what might be at fault in the program.” Last year, Nation Pizza spent about $200,000 on training, and received about $100,000 in reimbursement from the state Employer Training Investment Program, a subsidy launched in 2003 that reimbursed manufacturers for up to 50 percent of training spending. But grants have dried up, says Mr. Alagna, especially from the state; he says he hasn't received any ETIP reimbursement for training costs this year. That's not a surprise: ETIP funds have shrunk to $9.9 million this fiscal year, from $12.5 million in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2013, job-training funds available to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity plummeted to $615,000. At Trelleborg Sealing Solutions in Streamwood, managers have seen another, harder-to-measure cost of the skills gap: burnout. Five years ago, Trelleborg had three CNC machines; now it has 33. In late 2011, it often spent up to six weeks trying to fill CNC positions. “It hurts the bottom line,” says Kathy Keblis, human resources director. When positions went unfilled, other employees had to work six days a week, and fatigue set in. “When you work people too many hours, you start to have quality issues and absenteeism.” In response, the company started an in-house CNC apprenticeship program in January, which is training 27 employees. Chicago-area unemployment drops to 8% CRAIN’S // BRIGID SWEENY The Illinois Department of Employment Security says unemployment dropped during September in each of the state's dozen metro areas. The department said today in its monthly metro report that the biggest decreases were in the Rockford and Chicago-Joliet-Naperville areas. Unemployment dropped from 13.6 percent in September 2011 to 11 percent last month in Rockford and from 10.1 percent to 8 percent in greater Chicago. Local unemployment in those areas also declined from a month ago. According to IDES, Rockford's August 2012 unemployment rate was 11.7 percent and Chicago's was 8.8 percent. The number of jobs increased in seven metro areas, fell in three and were essentially unchanged in two. The Chicago area added 35,000 jobs in September, a 1 percent increase from September 2011. Peoria added 4,200 jobs, a 2.3 percent boost, and Bloomington-Normal netted 1,500 new jobs, a 1.7 percent bump. But Danville lost about 600 jobs, Decatur shed 300 and the Illinois suburbs of St. Louis lost 3,300 jobs. Department Director Jay Rowell said September's data is cause for cautious optimism. "This economic cycle is filled with small up-and-down movements in the monthly data, and August shows falling unemployment rates in nearly every corner of our state," he said in a release. "While the uneven movements shadow the progress that we have made, stronger economic growth will occur when consumer confidence improves." Last week, IDES reported that statewide unemployment also dipped slightly in September, to 8.8 percent from 9.1 percent in August. Spending climbs on Blagojevich-era Medicaid expansion CRAIN’S // KRISTEN SCHORSCH As the cost of expanding Medicaid to cover more children continues to rise, a measure pushed by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich is bucking the Quinn administration's strategy of revamping the program to rein in expenses. The net cost of the 2006 expansion of the All Kids health insurance program has shot up 22 percent, to $85.8 million in the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2011, from $70.2 million in fiscal 2009, according to a new report by the Illinois auditor general. Costs are rising faster than enrollment, which was about 75,000 children and teenagers in fiscal 2011, up just 5 percent from fiscal 2009, according to the report. Raising the income thresholds for the All Kids program and adding coverage for undocumented immigrant children were high-profile legislative accomplishments for Mr. Blagojevich, who had a rocky relationship with the Illinois General Assembly. Yet since the expansion was passed six years ago, the program has proven to be not only expensive but difficult to administer efficiently. The report by Auditor General William Holland criticizes officials of the Department of Healthcare and Family Services and the Department of Human Services for several policies and procedures that result in benefits extended to children who are ineligible. For example, HFS incorrectly classified more than 11,000 children as undocumented immigrants, even though they had Social Security numbers, the report says. As a result, the department did not seek reimbursement for their medical care from the federal government, which does not fund coverage for undocumented immigrants. By not properly classifying the recipients, the state is potentially missing out on an unspecified amount of funding, according to the report, which identifies the mistakes as a “continued problem.” In response, department officials say they have corrected a computer issue that led to some children being misclassified. The immigrant recipients with Social Security numbers were not actually eligible for federal Medicaid, HFS officials say. Among the report's other key findings: • About 300 children were enrolled with more than one identification number. • About 400 beneficiaries continued to receive medical care, even though they were older than 18, the maximum age, costing the state roughly $126,000. The departments generally accepted the findings of the report. Many changes recommended by the auditor general have already been established and others are under way, the report notes. Even so, the report raises unsettling questions about the department's competence. “Their problems are highly indicative of basic management control problems,” said health economist James Ciesla, a professor at Northern Illinois University. “As such, their overall budget numbers could be misstated.” In a statement, a spokesman for HFS Director Julie Hamos said the agency agrees with the auditor general's recommendations and is “working hard to implement them,” including a new electronic verification system. Last year, the Illinois General Assembly, in a cost-cutting measure, lowered the income eligibility for All Kids to twice the poverty level, from three times the poverty level when the expansion was passed. Clamping down on rising health care costs was a major part of Mr. Quinn's push to cut Medicaid spending by $2.7 billion for the 2012 fiscal year through a combination of reducing expenses and generating revenue. The Blagojevich-era expansion has added a small number of children to the All Kids program, which had a total of 1.9 million enrollees in fiscal 2011, costing the state $3.2 billion in claims. Of those enrollees, 69 percent were classified as undocumented immigrants, the audit said. The net cost of the program accounts for the premiums some families pay, based on their income. FULL TRANSCRIPTS CBS 2 News at 6: President Obama votes early in Chicago *B-roll of MRE greeting President Obama as he arrives ANCHOR: More now on president Obama who just made history in Chicago. The first president ever to vote before Election Day. cbs 2's chief correspondent jay Levine is near the martin Luther king community center where Mr. Obama cast his ballot. Any clue for whom he voted? LEVINE: well I don't think there is any doubt of that, Walter. I think you could make big money if anybody would bet you on that question. But the fact is he spent about 35 minutes inside that polling place which is about a mile from his Kenwood home where he cast that ballot and also made a statement. He was here to encourage others to do the same. his strategy, rack up big totals even before polls open on election day just as he did four years ago. Walking over to the cameras this afternoon to send an unmistakable message. PRES. OBAMA: For all who have not yet early voted, I want everyone to see what an efficient process this was. If something happens on Election Day, you will have taken care of it. If it's bad weather you won't get wet. Or in Chicago, snowy. LEVINE: Earlier in the day, he sent out e-mail to supporters, I am told I will be the first sitting president to take advantage of early voting, he said. It is going come down to which side can most effectively turn out the vote and early vote is huge part of that. PRES. OBAMA: I can't tell you who voted for. It is good to be home, back in the neighborhood. I miss you guys. LEVINE: He also clearly missed his former chief of staff who greeted him at the airport for the quick stop on the way to battleground state Ohio tonight coming here even though Illinois is one state he can count on. AXELROD: I think the enthusiasm is reflected in the early voting we are seeing. We are very excited. LEVINE: Axelrod told me the president would make one more stop here. We followed him to a local campaign office in Hyde Park where he sat and chatted with volunteers and made a campaign call to other volunteers in Iowa before he headed back to O’Hare to continue what he called a two day 8 state battleground blitz. It’s clear the president while confident is leaving nothing to chance. Reporting live from Bronzeville i'm jay levine, cbs 2 news. WGN News at 5PM: MRE welcomes President Obama to Chicago for early vote *B-roll: MRE walking with President on O’Hare tarmac ANCHOR 1: President Barack Obama doing something today that no other president in history has done. ANCHOR 2: Heading to a polling place to cast an early vote in person, a first for a sitting President. REPORTER UNRUH: It came from a very wet Kenwood, the president was inside casting his vote earlier. When a president comes to any town there is always a buzz, but when this president returns to his hometown to cast a vote for himself in the general election, this neighborhood was upside down with excitement. Look at this video from earlier today. It started around 3:30 when he arrived at O’Hare and was greeted on the tarmac by Mayor Emanuel, his former chief of staff. He then choppered to the lakefront. From there he went to the polling place here in Kenwood. He spent 30 minutes or so inside the King Community Center saying his hellos, even getting his ID checked over once and maybe even twice, the election volunteers having fun at his expense of course. To make this stop today, perhaps a difficult call, when key battleground states like Ohio, Florida and Colorado could make or break his election for the incumbent. But his early vote today did not slow down the President. Before he heads back to the White House tonight, a pit stop in Ohio. Even though the president is in great demand right now, less than two weeks til Election Day, he made time to vote early and to vote here. OBAMA: All across the country we are seeing a lot of early voting. It means you don't have to figure out whether you need to take time off work or pick up the kids and still cast your ballot. If something happens on Election Day it will be taken care of and if it's bad weather you won't get wet. Or in Chicago if it's snowing. But this is really convenient. I cannot tell you who I voted for but I very much appreciate everybody here and it’s good to be home. REPORTER UNRUH: The president keeping his sense of humor as he literally pit stopped here in Chicago today. He was hoping to stop and chat with campaign workers while he was here. We have not learned exactly where that was yet. We talked with one of his senior advisers David Axelrod. He told me that Obama is really even or ahead in many of the battleground states, actually he said in all the battleground states. He also said the last couple of debates have really made a difference. This place was covered with people up and down the road so fans on either side here in the neighborhood, and when the rain started to pound they all took off. ABC7 News at 4PM: MRE welcomes President Obama to Chicago *B-roll: MRE hugging and walking with President at O’Hare ANCHOR: Nate mentioned the military helicopters overhead and he is right. One of those choppers, the Marine One, carrying the President. President Obama is doing something today that no other sitting president has done. He is taking advantage of early voting and casting his ballot today instead of in person on Election Day. So within the past half hour, he arrived first at O’Hare airport. You see him coming down the stairs from Air Force One. When he got off the plane, he received a welcome home hug from Mayor Rahm Emanuel, his former chief of staff. ABC7 News at 4PM: MRE welcomes President Obama to Chicago REPORTER BRADLEY: Mayor Rahm Emanuel greeted the president when he arrived at O’Hare Airport this afternoon. I don't know whether or not the mayor is inside the polling place as we speak. You may have a better per perspective on that where you are. ANCHOR: We don't see the mayor even though the president travels in a rather extensive motorcade but he is still greeting people. CBS 2 News at 6 PM: Police Supt. Garry McCarthy announces installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: Chicago police are testing a new crime fighting device they say can detect the location of gun shots before they're reported to 911. Derrick Blakely tells us police hope the system can help them find offenders much faster than they're being found now. BLAKELY: in Humboldt park gunfire isn't rare. what's unusual is for police to be able to hear it recorded and pinpoint the location. That’s what happened September 11 in the 900 block of north central park. And the system that did it is called shots spotter. MCCARTHY: This is another tool we can reduce gun shots by making arrests and have a faster response. BLAKELY: system consists of dozens of audio sensors some mounted on light poles like blue light cameras and others on private buildings. It is being tested in parts of the 11th and 25th police districts on the west side and in the 7th and 8th districts on the south side. MCCARTHY: The officers in the field are directed very quickly to these locations resulting in arrests even before 911 calls are received from the public. BLAKELY: But the biggest success since the system went into operation on labor day came on September 18 when shots spotter recorded gunfire at 64th at Talman. Police arrested a known gang member, recovering a handgun and shotgun. Vontella Hawkins who has lived on Talman for 20 years showed us chunks taken out of her front stairs by gun shots. she welcomes the technology. HAWKINS: Because if they're able to detect maybe they can get here faster. BLAKELY: Shots spotter can detect gunfire half a mile away from a sensor location but it is expensive. $200,000 to cover 3 square mile area for a year. Garry McCarthy says studies show that a single murder can cost a city millions in expenses. So if this proves effective McCarthy would like to expand it. ANCHOR: You say it's paid for by asset forfeiture? BLAKELY: Asset forfeiture, the things confiscated by police when criminals are convicted. That’s what is paying for this system. McCarthy says if it's expanded it will have to be funds found outside the budget, private contributions or other funds. NBC5 News at 6PM: CPD Supt. McCarthy announces installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: Chicago's crime surveillance system is about to get some ears. Police superintendent Garry McCarthy has some new towers around the city that can hear a bullet shot, then tell where it came from. Charlie Wojciechowski has this story. REPORTER WOJCIECHOWSKI: Three shots rang out in the night instantaneously. And police know where they came from. That's the promise of a technology called Shot Spotter now being deployed by Chicago police. SUPT. MCCARTHY: Not only do we learn where the shots are being fired but now those officers can actually turn cameras on the location and get actionable intelligence that they can feed to the officers in the field as they're approaching. REPORTER WOJCIECHOWSKI: The system uses acoustic sensors that listen for the sound of a gunshot, then triangulates its exact location. SUPT. MCCARTHY: When we respond to this, we think it's the real deal. REPORTER WOJCIECHOWSKI: Police say the Shot Spotter is remarkably accurate, giving an exact street address where the shots were fired. On September 18, more than a dozen shots were fired here. This is what it sounded like. [gunshots ] Gary, Indiana has been using shot spotter since 2005 with a good deal of success, but Chicago’s record with gunshot detection has been spotty. Similar systems were tried in 2003 and in 2007. CPD COMMANDER LEWIN: In 2007 there was also a pilot program and, again, as the Superintendent mentioned, that was a much earlier version of the technology that still yielded some success, but was not nearly as accurate and was more expensive. REPORTER WOJCIECHOWSKI : The new Shot Spotter system costs $100,000 for every four miles that it's used. Currently there are two zones in Chicago that include parts of the Englewood, Chicago Lawn, Grand Crossing, and Harrison districts. SUPT. MCCARTHY: We'll make sure it works here. We'll figure out how much we want, where we'll get the funding from, and in all likelihood we'll expand it. ANCHOR: Newark, New Jersey, used the same gunshot technology when Garry McCarthy was superintendent there. WGN News at 5PM: CPD Supt. McCarthy announces installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: Cops and computers. Chicago police using a high-tech sound machine to help them fight crime. Chicago Police Department used $200,000 in seized assets to pay for Shot Spotter. That’s a computer system that can analyze sound. So the system is already being tried out in Engelwood and three other areas where there’s a high rate of violent crime. Police Supt. Garry McCarthy is a fan of this tool and explained how it works. SUPT. MCCARTHY: It's acoustic sensors that detect and help locate and direct our officers to a location where shots are fired and it can distill the difference between fireworks, backfires from vehicles, and things of the like within seconds of the event occurring. ANCHOR: The gunshot detection tool has been tested here before back in 2007. It was rejected then because some thought there wasn’t enough benefit to justify spending the money. But with crime up in the city and climbing, McCarthy says it would now be worth it. ABC7 News at 4PM: Police Superintendent McCarthy announces installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: In an effort to cut Chicago’s crime rate, police superintendent Garry McCarthy unveiled a new piece of technology today that he thinks will help officers investigating incidents that involve gunfire. More on this new high-tech crime fighting tool. REPORTER SCHULTE: You're listening to the sun of gunshots come from an exact address on the city’s West Side. They were detected by acoustic sensors, new technology that was installed September 1st by the Chicago police department. The sensors can send officers to the exact spot where a gunshot was fired. SUPT. MCCARTHY: The officers in the field are directed quickly to these locations, resulting in arrests, even before 911 calls are received from the public. It happens real time. REPORTER SCHULTE: McCarthy says the technology is especially useful when residents refuse to report gunshots. So far in Chicago the sensors have been installed in two undisclosed locations in portions of four high crime police districts. They can detect gunshots up to a half mile. The superintendent says the technology has already led to the arrest of two felons and the recovery of two weapons. There's nothing cheap about this new technology. The superintendent says it costs $100,000 for every one and a half square miles, but he says if it works, it will be a whole lot less expensive than the cost of one murder to society. SUPT. MCCARTHY: Each murder that a city suffers at the low end of the spectrum costs about $5 million. REPORTER SCHULTE: But these former gang numbers who now work the streets for Ceasefire are skeptical considering the city has rolled out technology before that hasn't worked, including gunshot sensors. CEASEFIRE MEMBER VANCE: You can put that in the community all you want. By the time they get there the person who was shot is already gone or the person is dead. REPORTER SCHULTE: Although Patrick Vance and his friends say they support the tech if it works better than what they call failed blue light cameras. CEASEFIRE MEMBER JACKSON: Honestly, if it works, why not spend the money on it, but at the same time there is people out here that can do what the police can't do, like us. REPORTER SCHULTE: If the new sensors prove to be successful, Superintendent McCarthy says he will look for alternative funding to pay for it. WGN News at 11AM: Police Supt. McCarthy to announce installation of gunshot detection technology ANCHOR: Chicago Police superintendent is announcing a new gunshot detection technology program today. McCarthy used a similar program when he was the police chief in Newark. Acoustic sensors are placed in high crime areas were able to detect the source of gunfire.

More details on how the program will work in Chicago will be released later today. WGN News at 11AM: Ald.

Alderman Brendan Reilly suggests north Michigan avenue businesses hire off-duty cops for extra patrols. Reilly says it would help the department concentrate on lowering crime in other parts of the city. Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy says he is interested in the idea. He says he is also frustrated by the number of non-emergency calls that his office was forced to respond to when they could be fighting crime in the streets.

McCarthy says more has to be done to deal with the massive number of guns on the streets.

Now bidders from across the country are lining up for this contract. Dane Placko got a first peek at who wants the job. PLACKO: What started as a seemingly crazy idea about goats at O'hare has turned into a bidding battle between goat lovers nationwide. CIHANEK: I don't want to sound silly or overconfident but I can't imagine why I wouldn't get the bid. PLACKO: Larry Cihanek of upstate New York is one of 11 people who responded to a Chicago Department of Aviation request for bids to supply 30 grazing livestock and a herder to eat the vegetation in a remote and rocky patch of land at the airport's perimeter. The bids range between $19,000-$180,000.

ABC7 News at 5PM: Whitney elementary school seeks funding for air conditioning ANCHOR: Parents at an elementary school on the southwest side are wondering why they're being asked to pay the bill for air-conditioning at their school. The principal sent a letter requesting all parents pay a fee to cover the cost of adding air-conditioning at Whitney Elementary School. It is a fee that many say is too much for them. Leah hope has more. REPORTER HOPE: School is out for fall break at Eli Whitney elementary school. Many of the track E students enjoyed nice weather earlier at a nearby park, but they remember the hot days when they started school in August. STUDENT: We had to take water bottles and freeze them. REPORTER HOPE: Elizabeth Nevarez is a graduate of Whitney and knows the challenges of being in a hot classroom, but she doesn't think parents should have to pay for new air-conditioning. NEVAREZ: It was a shock, like how do you expect us to pay for air-conditioning? It's fine that we're in a low income neighborhood but it doesn't mean we're not knowledgeable of what our rights are. REPORTER HOPE: A letter to Whitney parents from the principal announced a new fee for air-conditioning approved by the local school council. $20 for one child, $35 for two children and $45 for three students at the school. PARENT: They presented it like you had no choice, like this is it. The state raises taxes, you have to pay it. REPORTER HOPE: Martha Villareal is an LSC member, but says she missed the meeting where the fees were approved. VILLAREAL: I was kind of surprised, because all the parents were wondering, well, why should we pay for the air-conditioning? Isn't that CPS? REPORTER HOPE: An example of the financial hardship for some parents in this Little Village neighborhood, a block from the school, some parents come to the food giveaway on Thursdays at a local church. Aurora Alvarez is a single mother of two. She works but still needs help and can't afford the school fee. Alvarez tells me, charging parents is not right. Just yesterday the school board was informed about this fee by a parent, the parent we spoke with. And today a spokeswoman for the Chicago Public Schools say they are preparing another letter explaining that the fees are not mandatory. She explains that LSC can set fees but it is a voluntary program, so any parent who paid that fee and didn't know it was voluntary can get a refund. We couldn't reach the principal today as school was out, but certainly Chicago Public Schools had plenty to say about it. WGN News at 5PM: MRE and IFSA ANCHOR: A new round in the fight between Governor Quinn and Mayor Emanuel over who should lead the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, which basically runs Sox Park and some other entities. Emanuel is supporting a former Chicago Schools finance chief, Diana Ferguson, for that position. Governor Quinn is pushing for his chief spokeswoman Kelly Craft for the job. The Mayor doesn’t believe that Craft has a strong enough financial background and doesn’t have experience running large organizations. The Governor accused the Mayor of needlessly dragging Craft’s name through the mud. The Sports Authority board will ultimately appoint a new executive director, and the panel is set to meet again on November the first.

LaSalle St, 5th FL, Rm. 507 Chicago, IL 60602 President Toni Preckwinkle Cook County Board 118 N. Clark St, Room 537 Chicago, IL 60602 Dear Mayor Emanuel and President Preckwinkie: Sixteen months ago you made the decision to jointly address the issue of violent crime in Chicago with the goal ensuring safe and vital neighborhoods. You brought together a broad group of constituents that collaborated on ways to address both the cause and effects of violent crime. A team of senior leaders (the "Report Committee") from both the City of Chicago and Cook County was created. which established the goal of making Chicago the safest big city in America by 2020. This team also analyzed and prioritized the actions necessary to achieve this goal with eleven key initiatives under three themes: Prevention, Intervention and Response. The roadmap to implement this is laid out in the Community Anti?Violence and Restoration Effort Plan. The next step that requires your support is the creation of an Operating Committee comprised of these senior leaders to facilitate ongoing collaboration, coordination and accountability related to the key initiatives. The complexity of reducing violent crime requires collaboration across governmental and agency responsibilities, reporting lines and goats. The Report Committee suggested creating an Operating Committee of selected City and County leaders to meet quarterly and facilitate coordination without compromising agency or individual accountability. The Operating Committee would: 1) Establish overall annual goals and measurements in support of CARE's objective of creating the safest city in America by 2020. 2) Coordinate alignment of these overall goals with the specific goals and initiatives for the primary City and County organizations. 3) Find resources to support collaboration amongst the primary agencies. Monitor and support community engagement. 5) Provide a semi-annual report to both of you to support continued involvement of the broader community. Mayor Emanuel President Preckwinkle November 19, 2012 Page 2 The CARE report also suggested the creation of an Advisory Committee, comprised of leaders from the broader community, and a Youth Leadership Council. The next steps on creating an Operating Committee would be establishing membership and leadership. It would be logical to extend the involvement of the City and County leaders that were on the Report Committee since this team has established good working relationships and is familiar with the facts and prioritization process. This would include: Citv of Chicago Leaders - Superintendent, Chicago Police - CEO, Chicago Public Schools - Commissioner, Chicago Department of Famin 8: Support Services Cook Countv Leaders at Presiding Judge, Criminal Division 0 Director of Juvenile Probation, State of Illinois, Circuit Court of Cook County in First Assistant State's Attorney - Executive Director, Re?Entry and Diversion, Cook County Sheriff To organize this committee?s work it would also be useful for you to jointly designate a leader of the Operating Committee. This could either be one of the public executives on the committee or a special advisor to both the City of Chicago and Cook County. Chicago is too strong and vibrant a city to accept the current level of violent crime. All Chicagoans deserve a safe place in which to grow, raise families, work and enjoy the bene?ts of living in a large city. The goal of being the safest big city in America is achievable in "the city that works" if both the City and County combine their efforts to implement comprehensive and sustainable change. I will call you to detannine how you would like the next chapter of the CARE effort to be implemented. Regards, ct: The Honorable Paul P.

Michigan Avenue Suite 3250 Chicago, IL 60611 312.450.8205 (direct) 773.391.2808 (cell) 312.464.9401 (fax) lcastro@paulsonoffice.com www.paulsoninstitute.org Please note that we have moved to Suite 3250. Memo from Hank Paulson Reflections on December 2012 China Trip I send this memo to post you on my recent 10-day trip to China, during the last week of November and first week of December, and to share some of my thoughts coming out of that trip. After meeting with several senior leaders and other Ministers, mayors, governors, and many other old friends—whose judgments I’ve come to trust—I was greatly impressed by the enthusiasm I heard for the newly announced Chinese leadership. There is broad-based enthusiasm about the opportunities for change and reform. Reformers are energized, and I believe we will see tangible steps—beginning with initiatives that will be announced in the spring after the National People’s Congress and then, toward the end of the year, at the next plenum of the Communist Party. The good news is that China’s new leadership team is a strong one. The bad news is that they will need to be strong because the challenges they face are daunting and the expectations of the Chinese people are high. China’s current growth model is running out of steam, and there is a strong need to reinvigorate the economic reform process that has been stalled for years. And while there is broad agreement regarding the reforms that must be implemented, the question is one of scope, pace and sequence. Moreover, powerful vested interests in the country will, of course, defend the status quo and resist reforms, which will make them difficult to achieve. China’s new leader, Xi Jinping, is charismatic with a more accessible style, speaking to the public informally and extemporaneously. He is already setting a distinct tone for his new administration by shedding the formal trappings of office, such as red carpets and large motorcades, eliminating “unnecessary” meetings, banning the use of talking points during internal meetings, and positioning himself in the public eye as someone who is eager to address the major issues facing China today: the need to accelerate economic reform, institute the rule of law, and fight corruption. It is no accident, in my view, that Xi made his first major domestic visit after being appointed to lead the Communist Party to Guangdong province, a bastion of reform (once governed by his father) that became the cradle of efforts to reinvigorate economic change when Deng Xiaoping visited in 1992. This implicit homage to Deng’s famed “southern tour” was pregnant with symbolism. Page 1 Li Keqiang, who will soon be appointed prime minister, will oversee the economy. And like Xi, he is expected to serve two five-year terms. The other members of the Politburo Standing Committee, several of whom I have worked with over the past 10 years, all have a reputation for getting things done. And each of them will have to retire after five years because of strict age limits. This ensures continuity in whatever projects Xi and Li take on. At the same time, there is a real motivation for the other five to get things done during their final years of public office. I suspect they will be less conservative, because they no longer have to worry about missteps that might inhibit their progress were they still fighting to climb the ladder to higher office. Wang Qishan, known in China as the “fireman” for taking on tough issues successfully, such as the SARS outbreak of 2003, is an excellent choice to head the Disciplinary Inspection Committee, which is charged with rooting out corruption. Although his knowledge and understanding of financial issues will be missed, Wang may bring new energy and a “can do” attitude to a challenge that Chinese leaders clearly believe is a systemic cancer that has undermined their legitimacy with the populace. Wang already has begun to move quickly in his new position, bringing charges against the Vice Governor of Sichuan province. I expect to see more high-profile cases announced in the months ahead, and an effort to deal with this problem more systematically, which, of course, poses a very daunting but critically important challenge. There is no question that the leadership and the senior ministers understand the vast challenges they are facing. Urban sustainability, an issue that The Paulson Institute has been working on with them over the past 18 months, is clearly a critical area of focus. In my recent meeting with Li Keqiang, he spent nearly an hour of our 90-minute meeting discussing urban sustainability and its role in the transformation of the Chinese economy. Urban sustainability is essential for building up a middle class in China with purchasing power, but it also highlights some of the core structural changes that the country must make if China truly is going to transform its economy. Successful “urbanization” will require serious changes, such as creating new models for municipal financing, removing restrictions on migration by normalizing the labor market, instituting property rights by introducing reform of the land system to provide farmers with the same rights as urban dwellers, expanding and reforming the social safety net systems, and enforcing more environmental regulations. When speaking about economic reform during our conversation, Li likened China’s path to walking on a tightrope, stating that they can only move forward by moving away from an exportbased economy to create greater domestic demand, which would benefit China and the rest of the world. Li flatly stated that moving backward is not an option. He is a charming and effective communicator who can speak English well, and does so from time to time. He impresses foreigners and Chinese alike as not only a skilled politician but a leader who is prepared to take action on the challenges of running the world’s second-largest economy. Page 2 Zhang Gaoli, frontrunner for Executive Vice Premier, could to be a good compliment to Li Keqiang in his role as Premier. A number of those who have worked closely with Zhang have spoken admiringly of his ability to get things done and have suggested that he is committed to economic reform. Like so many of the others on the new Politburo Standing Committee, he seems to be a “man of action.” In meetings with leading government thinkers such as Guo Shuqing, Chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission; Lou Jiwei, Chairman of the China Investment Corporation; and even Chen Yuan at the China Development Bank, it is clear that they are already considering ways to address China’s challenges. In particular, Guo is very knowledgeable about the need to develop China’s financial markets and open them up to competition—and in my judgment, he is committed to doing so. I also believe that financial market reform is one of the areas on which the new leadership is apt to move first, because a lot of good preparatory work has already been done here. A more difficult but, in my judgment essential, reform is the need to have the state owned enterprises compete on a level playing field, thereby giving a lift to the private sector, which represents China’s future. Lou Jiwei gave us an elegant overview of a number of the urbanization challenges and how they are interlinked—even down to such details as how Beijing’s low subway ticket prices have caused people to stop riding bicycles, but that the subsequent overcrowding on the subways has, in turn, shifted people toward driving their cars. Those of you who have visited Beijing recently know that traffic congestion is a major problem. Today, only about 10 percent of Chinese own a car. Imagine when that number doubles. I find it impressive that Lou, the head of one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world, is so knowledge about these issues, and I believe he would be an excellent choice either for Minister of Finance or Chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, which is the key state planning agency in China. Finance would be especially appropriate because Lou is known to be knowledgeable about tax policy, which requires an almost complete overhaul in China, especially since local government has built up so much debt amid so few tax and revenue options. I always try to visit a provincial city during my trips to China to meet with up-and-coming leaders as well as businessmen to gain a better sense of what’s happening in other areas of China. On this visit, I traveled to Changsha and met with Zhou Qiang, Party Secretary of Hunan province. A strong leader, Zhou was Li Keqiang’s successor as head of the China Youth League and will play an important leadership role in China in the years to come. Zhou brought together the heads of three major locally based Chinese companies—Broad Air, Sany, and Hunan TV (China’s most innovative cable station)—for an interesting luncheon discussion on a range of sustainability issues. In addition, we were hosted by the Mayor of Changsha, Zhang Jiangfei, a U.S.-educated, sophisticated leader who served at the World Bank and is indicative of the seventh generation of Chinese leaders. Page 3 Changsha is becoming a leader in China for introducing innovative measures to help increase for the city’s energy and resource efficiencies. Mayor Zhang has been an innovator in using marketbased incentives to drive more sustainable behaviors, including a recycling program, and is considering pricing options for natural resources such as water, which are often considered “common goods.” These leaders also shared the optimism for realizing change, although they clearly recognize that change would not come easy. Bureaucracies do not like change. Yet this emerging Chinese leadership knows that reform is the only path forward. There will be much debate on the way in which reforms are introduced and managed, and they will be resisted by those in China who want to maintain the status quo. One important indicator of Xi’s ability to govern will be to see who is selected for the Vice Premier, State Councilor, and Ministerial positions to support and implement his agenda. Hopefully, like the new members of the Standing Committee, those selected will be leaders with proven abilities to get things done. I also hope they will be reformers. Two to watch are Wang Yang, the reform-oriented Party Secretary of Guangdong, whom I spent nearly four hours with in April and expect will get a key Vice Premier post, and Li Yuanchao, former head of the Party’s Organization Department and Party Secretary of Jiangsu, who could very well be selected as Vice President. Based on my discussions during the trip, I believe that the new leadership has a clear grasp of the issues and the challenges ahead. How successfully they can implement the reforms, as well as the pace and extent of their efforts, remains to be seen, but I am cautiously optimistic. Should you be interested in discussing my trip in further detail, please feel free to reach out to my assistant Lisa Castro at lcastro@paulsonoffice.com. Otherwise, I wish you a very happy holiday season and look forward to connecting again in 2013.

Target is partnering on an MLK event in DC on January 20th that Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been invited too. The Points of Light Foundation sent the attached request. Would you be willing to ensure that this request got in front of him for consideration? The dialogue will focus on education and economic opportunity. A perfect fit for his expertise.

Happy Holidays, Laysha Laysha Ward President, Community Relations Target 1000 Nicollet Mall TPN 1180 Minneapolis, MN 55403 612.761.   Mayor Emanuel, Millions of Americans will come together on the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, January 21, 2013, in a day of service and dialogue to honor the memory of Dr. King and the causes for which he gave his life. For this MLK Day, Points of Light, with the support of Target, will be in a unique position to unite Americans in volunteer service and to issue a call to action to do what we, as Americans, do best – lend a hand, help our neighbors, and build better communities. Points of Light and Target will bring together hundreds of thousands community leaders to participate in service projects across our nation and will engage them in civic dialogue through America’s Sunday Supper where people come together to share a meal and engage in dialogue about how to improve their community. As someone who makes education a priority in the city of Chicago, you have a critical perspective on the progress we have made in advancing the ideal that every child in America should have a chance to succeed. The partnership with the city of Chicago and Walgreens to incentivize parental involvement in Chicago Public Schools is innovative and reflects the best thinking on how parents and schools can work effectively together to create the best learning environment for students. We believe that other communities and leaders should follow your lead and invite you to be a featured speaker at America’s Sunday Supper at noon on Sunday, January 20, 2013, at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C. We will use this Sunday Supper to inspire people to continue these important community discussions throughout the year and to commit to service. We specifically invite you to address the growing national awareness of the importance of parental involvement in education and how parents today are increasingly looking for ways to get involved in grassroots movements that can create change. We will invite another high-profile speaker to engage in dialogue with you and Melissa Harris-Perry, host of MSNBC’s “Melissa Harris-Perry” will facilitate this conversation. We realize the constraints of your schedule and hope you will join us on the eve of MLK Day to help us communicate the opportunity we have as a nation to come together in honor of Dr. King’s legacy.

FULL ARTICLES Going back home to Poland TRIBUNE // Colleen Mastony When communism fell, it felt like the door of a cage sprang open. Young and filled with a restless energy, three friends who had grown up in Poland yearned to travel and explore. Perhaps nowhere held more allure than America. Nowhere in America had more sway among Poles than Chicago. And so, Monika, Magda and Ola — friends who were as close as sisters — packed their bags. Within a few weeks of landing at O'Hare International Airport, they were working as nannies and waitresses, and making more money than they ever could have at home. Over the next decade, they lived together and dreamed together. They took English classes at Truman College, tried sushi for the first time, listened to jazz at Andy's on Hubbard Street. And, slowly, began to consider themselves Chicagoans. But life in the United States, they found, wasn't as easy as they had imagined. One woman suffered a health crisis. Another didn't qualify for a green card. A third got married and became a citizen, but still woke up in the middle of the night, worried about her aging parents in Krakow, and thought: "What am I doing here?" Poland was calling them home. "It was the paradox of every immigrant," explained Ola Kalarus, now 42. "You go somewhere for economic reasons. But you still miss the place you came from, even though you know it's poorer there and the life is perhaps not as good." Just a decade before, the idea of going back would have been almost inconceivable. The gap between living standards in the two countries was too wide. The gravitational pull of the dollar was too strong. But in 2004, Poland joined the European Union, a move that, virtually overnight, gave Poles the opportunity to work legally anywhere in Europe. Suddenly, Poles didn't have to cross an ocean to find opportunity. Instead they could hop on buses and planes to work in the continent's wealthy capitals — London, Berlin, Dublin and Rome — and still return home to spend holidays with their families. At the same time, the collapse of communism in Poland had unleashed a pent-up wave of energy and innovation among Poles. State-controlled enterprise gave way to private investment, which boomed in the mid-1990s as entrepreneurs and foreign corporations scrambled into the country's newly freed markets. During the global financial crisis in 2008, Poland was the only EU economy to avoid recession. While the U.S. economy shrank, Poland's continued to grow at a robust 5 percent and soon became among the fastest-growing in Europe. The gap between the countries had begun to narrow, and all at once, the forces that had guided generations of Poles toward America shifted into reverse. Then, Poles in Chicago began doing something that was once unimaginable. They began packing up and going home. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of foreign-born Poles in Chicago dropped by 23,000 from 2000 to 2010. At the Polish American Association, the entry-level ESL classes that were once packed with newly arrived Poles are now nearly empty. Attendance at Polish Saturday schools, where children learn to speak Polish, has dropped by 1,000 students over the past five years. And Polish travel agents, who once did a brisk business booking vacations, now advertise rates for shipping containers that can be used to send entire households back to Poland. Across the city and the country, other immigrants were coming to similar conclusions. As Poles boarded one-way flights back to their homeland, so too did Mexicans. Against this backdrop, Monika, Magda and Ola struggled over what to do. "First I came (to America) for adventure and then I stayed longer," remembered Monika Nowak, now 45. "You decide to stay longer and longer, then you are afraid to go back home (to Poland) because you don't know what will happen there." Stay in America? Or return home? "It was a very difficult decision," said Magda Lesniak, now 42. "And I knew that whatever I did, I might wish I had done something else." . The tightknit relationship between Chicago and Poland dates back to before the Civil War, when a group of noblemen fleeing the Polish-Russian War of 1830-31 arrived with plans of establishing a "New Poland" in Illinois. Those plans would never come to fruition, at least not in the 1800s. But their vision laid the groundwork for Polish Chicago, sometimes referred to as "Polonia." By 1930, tens of thousands of Polish peasants had poured into the city for low-skill jobs in the stockyards and steel mills, and Chicago had become the largest Polish city in the United States. Over the next decades, Poland sent many more sons and daughters to Chicago. And to understand why, it's critical to understand that during World War II and the postwar period, at least, Poland was a place many people simply wanted to escape. The war was a hellish experience for the Poles, who saw their country invaded twice, first by Germany and then by the Soviet Union. By the close of the war, nearly a quarter of all Poles had died, including 3 million Polish Jews who perished in the horror of the concentration camps. Much of the countryside was left in devastation; once-stately Warsaw was reduced to a smoking pile of rubble. Under terms negotiated at the Yalta Conference, Poland fell behind the Iron Curtain, communists took over and the country became a satellite of the Soviet empire. Under Josef Stalin, thousands were imprisoned and dissent quashed. The following decades were bleak, and by the 1980s, bread lines and empty shelves were the order of the day. Air pollution was rampant because of inefficient factories that belched black smoke into the sky. Sporadic strikes and protests were brutally suppressed by riot police. The first sign of change came in 1980 when the Solidarity movement emerged from the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk, where 17,000 striking workers — led by a young, charismatic electrician named Lech Walesa — demanded change. The movement would eventually sweep the country in a campaign of civil resistance that culminated dramatically in 1989, when communism fell and Poland held its first free elections. * This was the transformative era in which Monika, Magda and Ola came of age. In 1989, the year of communism's collapse, they were just entering college, and just becoming friends. They were among a transition generation, who grew up hearing stories of WWII from their grandparents — two of the three women had relatives who barely survived the concentration camps — and who themselves vividly remembered the food shortages that made an orange a rare treat. But by the time they graduated in 1995, the country was in the midst of a profound transformation: freeing its markets, rushing to stabilize the economy and opening its borders. The idea of traveling was particularly enticing to young people who had grown up under communism. In their lifetimes it had never been possible to travel in countries beyond the Iron Curtain. Now, if you had enough money for a plane ticket and a visa, you could go almost anywhere. All three women had a friend from college who had moved to Chicago. Her name was Monika Lorencka, and she had offered them a place to stay. "You have to realize, when we were growing up in Poland, the United States was so inaccessible," Lorencka remembered. "If you saw a picture of the New York City skyline, it was like a dream." After the fall of communism, it was a dream that was suddenly within reach. . Monika Nowak was the first to arrive, landing at O'Hare in May 1999. Tall and blue-eyed, with high cheekbones, a big smile and an exuberant personality, she had worked at an art gallery in Poland, where her salary had been the equivalent of about $250 a month. The cost of living was extraordinarily low in Poland then, but still she had to rely on her parents to survive. What did she have to lose by going to America? She was 32 years old when she arrived with $3,000 in her pocket. After blowing that money on a trip to California, she easily landed a job, as a nanny for a wealthy family. They gave her a car and took her on vacation to Florida, where they owned a home. Her salary was so much more than she could have made in Poland, she said, that "I felt like a millionaire." Soon after came Magda Lesniak, then 28. Dark-haired and quiet, she was a loyal friend who, with a wry sense of humor, could send her friends into fits of laughter. Last was Ola Kalarus, 30, who arrived the following year. She was the most studious and meticulous of the group. Recently divorced, she yearned for a fresh start. The three women had met and become friends while attending Jagiellonian University, a storied, 680year-old institution that is Poland's version of Harvard. Arriving in Chicago, they were ridiculously overqualified for the jobs they took as nannies and waitresses. But what they missed in intellectual stimulation they more than made up for with trips around the country, visiting California, Arizona, South Dakota and Hawaii — places that seemed foreign, beautiful and exciting. "I loved the diversity of America. Black, white and Asian. Different people, different cultures," Magda said. It was a place where "you could meet the whole world." At first, none thought she would stay for more than a year. But one year turned into another. Monika volunteered at the Polish Museum of America on Milwaukee Avenue and was offered a full-time position as a curator. Magda landed a job as a part-time legal assistant. Ola enrolled in a photography program at College of DuPage. From the start, Ola was determined to stay. She contacted an attorney and began applying for a green card. But after the first few years, Monika and Magda thought increasingly about home. Both had overstayed their tourist visas, which meant that, if they left the United States, they wouldn't be able to come back. They couldn't return to Poland, even for a visit. "I started feeling divided," Magda recalled. Caught between two countries, she wondered: "What should I do with my life? Stay here, or go home?" For Monika, the death of both maternal grandparents within the span of a year left her feeling adrift. She had missed both funerals. Before her grandfather passed, he told her on the phone to "come to me." The words haunted her. She married in 2003 and became a U.S. citizen. Still, she worried about her aging parents. She was an only child and, at night, when she couldn't sleep, she wondered: Who will take care of them? Back in Poland, things were changing. The country's entrance into the EU in 2004 not only opened labor markets, it also drew billions of dollars in EU funds meant to boost Poland's economy to the level of Western Europe's. Wages also were on the rise. From 1996 to 2005, the average monthly pay in Poland nearly tripled. Those wages were still low — about $750 in 2005 — but Poland was quickly gaining ground against the West. Then, in 2005, Magda got a call from her doctor. Blood tests after her annual checkup had shown her blood sugar to be abnormally high. The diagnosis, when it came, stunned her. She had diabetes. In Poland, with its government-sponsored health care, her treatment and medication would cost almost nothing. In the United States, her health insurance didn't even cover insulin. Magda wondered if it was fate, pushing her to take a step that for so long she couldn't bring herself to take. Within a few months, she was back in Poland. The end for Ola was equally abrupt. It came in a telephone call from her attorney, who said that her green card application had been denied. Already, she had given the attorney thousands of dollars. An appeal would cost even more. She talked to her boyfriend, a U.S. citizen. He had long claimed that he loved her. Finally, she said to him: "If you love me, why don't you help me?" She hoped for a wedding, which would have guaranteed a green card. But that was not in his plans. She boarded a one-way flight in 2010. As for Monika — still haunted by the deaths of her grandparents — she decided in the summer of 2012 that she too would return home. "I knew that I was going to miss many things about the United States. I was afraid about my future. I know it's not easy to start a new life in middle age," she said. Still, both she and her husband were U.S. citizens. If things didn't work out, they promised themselves that they could always come back to Chicago. * By that time, the American dream for many Poles had crumbled. Thousands worked in the construction industry and had invested heavily in real estate. When the bottom fell out, Poles across Chicago were left unemployed or underemployed, underwater on their mortgages or facing foreclosure. In a head-spinning reversal, it was suddenly Poland — not America — that had become the place of hope. And so, what was once a great tide of immigration began to recede. At least 60,000 Poles returned to Poland in the first year of the global recession, and at least 8,000 have returned annually in the years since, according to data compiled by Poland's Central Statistical Office. It's a phenomenon that Krystyna Iglicka, a researcher at Warsaw's Center for International Relations, calls "a kind of miracle." "After the second world war, under communism, people who left would rather starve than come back," Iglicka said. "Now, it is something amazing that people from America would begin to return." Even more stunning, she said, has been the demise of the American dream in the collective imagination of young Poles. After Poland joined the EU, the country's youths were far more likely to head to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany or Italy. In a survey of destinations for emigrating Poles from 2004 to 2008, the United States ranked a distant fifth. And by 2011, the number of Poles obtaining U.S. green cards had dropped to the lowest level in at least 20 years. "Young people," Iglicka explained, "they are not attracted by America anymore." * On a cold, snowy night, the three friends gathered at an Italian restaurant in Krakow. The city, among the most beautiful in central Europe, has changed immensely since their days in college. Down the charming cobblestone streets of Old Town, the city's centuries-old buildings, once covered with soot, have been beautifully restored. Glittering glass-and-steel apartment buildings are slowly replacing drab Soviet housing. And the air that was once unbreathable from pollution is clean and clear. On cold evenings, the mists that sometimes settle on the city seem to freeze, making the night air sparkle. Inside the restaurant, over fancy, thin-crust pizzas — one with chanterelle mushrooms, the other with Gorgonzola cheese — the friends talked about Chicago, what they miss (the vastness of the lake, the diversity of the people) and what they gained by living there (a taste for Thai food, among many other things, and a more global perspective). Poland is no paradise. The average yearly salary is still about $13,800, among the lowest in the European Union. Economic growth has slowed to about 2.5 percent, dashing hopes that the country would continue to avoid the ongoing global economic turmoil. But in the homes of their parents and along the streets where they grew up, the three friends have found a sense of comfort. "I can speak Polish here, buy Polish books. I am in the place where I grew up, and it's comfortable," said Monika. She recently landed a job as an exhibition director at an art institute in Krakow. She is poised to begin a doctoral program at her alma mater, Jagiellonian University. And she sees her parents every day. "I have found my place here," she said. Looking back on her time in Chicago, Ola — who was denied her green card — says she now sees the American dream as "a myth." In her apartment near Katowice, an industrial city about an hour outside Krakow, she has tucked her old photos of Chicago into albums she keeps on a low shelf in her bedroom — evidence of a dream she would now rather forget. She has new dreams now. Working as a part time tourist guide, she has traveled to China, France, Greece and Spain over the last year. Money is tight, but she feels optimistic about her future. "My philosophy is, 'Life goes on,'" she said. "Don't look back." For Magda, though, it's almost impossible not to wonder: What if? It's true that her efficiency apartment in Krakow has doubled in value since she purchased it in 2006 — the benefit of a rising real estate market. There is a masseuse in the building, and a gourmet market less than a block away. More signs of a rising Poland. She has a full-time position in sales, with five weeks of paid vacation, a clear improvement over her life in Chicago, where she worked three part-time jobs. But the dream of America stays with her. She says: "Sometimes, I wish I stayed there. I wonder how my life would be." Cap and trade needs an update in the Midwest CRAIN’S // Richard Sandor In recent weeks, two seemingly disparate events have revived the conversation about climate change policy in the U.S. One was the unprecedented damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. The other was the “fiscal cliff,” with politicians scrambling for new sources of revenue to help offset major spending cuts or tax hikes. Suddenly, talk of a “carbon tax” has become fashionable inside and outside the Beltway. It is both a revenue-raising policy and the perceived solution to a climate crisis that may be creating massive natural disasters. Although this seems enticing, is a tax the best—or only—solution in the long run? The alternative to a carbon tax is emissions trading, or “cap and trade.” In the early '90s, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's program to combat acid rain was the first large-scale implementation of cap and trade, and it was a clear environmental and economic success. According to the EPA, it reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide by 64 percent from 1990 levels at a fraction of the anticipated cost. It was estimated in 2010 that 20,000 to 50,000 lives are saved annually by the reductions in the number of diseases associated with acid rain. Despite its success, the U.S. cap-and-trade system became a victim of Washington's inability to agree on sound policies, and trading has come to a virtual halt. A bill to establish a federal cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gases died in the Senate three years ago. Although it is good that we are again talking about putting a price on carbon, society would be better served if a tax were not the only instrument in the policymaker's toolbox. California has begun a capand-trade program and may become the leader to revive this effective mechanism for combating climate change in the U.S. Perhaps the Midwest can follow. The Midwest has resource advantages in alternative energy and a growing hub of entrepreneurs who can be catalysts for growth if given the right policy signals. Its strong manufacturing, energy and agricultural base can provide the ingredients for a solid regional effort. Institutional building and human capital formation are also better accomplished when a market is wellfunctioning. Chicago, with its history of innovation in regulated and transparent financial markets, played a critical role in the SO2 emissions cap-and-trade program and in the emerging European Union's Emissions Trading System. These markets have been successful from an environmental standpoint, allowing industry, entrepreneurs and innovators to plan investments and minimize emissions. A well-designed market in the Midwest can offer much-needed certainty for industry and provide further impetus for movement at the federal level. A bottom-up approach can lead the way. Almost any pension plan will do — just do something CRAIN’S // EDITORIAL When it comes to Illinois' monumental public pension tab, there's one thing that just about everybody agrees on: It's the No. 1 problem facing this crisis-weary state. Even so, our elected leaders in Springfield have failed yet again to craft a measure that would pull Illinois out of a pension hole that's now about $97 billion deep and getting deeper by the day. In a disastrous lame-duck session that sputtered to an end last week, glimmers of bipartisan deals and hastily crafted solutions emerged, only to flicker and die for a lack of support—and sometimes, even more maddeningly, for a lack of leadership. The outlines of an eventual grand bargain were at times almost perceptible and, really, at the core of the matter, the math is inescapable: The state's expenses are greater than its revenues. Filling the gap is likely to involve finding even more revenues and trimming benefits for state workers. Everyone knows this. Still, we enter a new legislative session empty-handed—and in even worse fiscal shape than we were 12 months ago. In short, our Legislature has acted shamefully. Gov. Pat Quinn, who owns a share of the blame, did at least rouse himself to back an intriguing, lastminute idea: an independent commission whose recommendations would become law unless the Legislature acts to the contrary. Crain's columnist Greg Hinz called it “kicking the can down the road— with a twist.” And he's right—setting up a small group to study the problem and make the tough decisions necessary to fix it is the ultimate in passing the buck. It also just might work. We've seen it before. The idea is modeled on the federal military base commission, which has been an effective and nimble way of reducing Pentagon expenditures. Of course, setting a timer for a swath of automatic cuts and then walking away can have its downsides, as the recent “fiscal cliff” fiasco so vividly demonstrated. But in a state as dysfunctional as Illinois, any concrete plan—even one that allows lawmakers to sidestep responsibility and pass off the eventual blame—has a certain allure. As the next legislative session begins, taxpayers must demand that a credible and swift pension solution be at the very top of the agenda in Springfield. Failure to act is not an option. A dance that never ends: Comdisco in bankruptcy CRAIN’S // Steven R. Strahler When Comdisco Inc. went bankrupt in 2001, Enron Corp. was still humming and Arthur Andersen was Chicago's largest accounting firm. But Comdisco's Chapter 11 saga lives on—5,128 docket entries and counting—even though it is a rare liquidation where creditors were made whole. The case's litigation trustee continues to seek nearly $40 million from ex-CEOs Jack Slevin and Philip Hewes and 21 other former executives of the computer leasing and disaster recovery firm who loaded up on Comdisco shares before the collapse made them worthless. “We may have been fat cats at one point, but we're not any longer—they're going to get peanuts back,” complains Mike Poisella, 65, a former Comdisco district sales manager in Trumbull, Conn., who owes $1.7 million and says six-figure legal fees are eating into his IRA. Although a reorganized Comdisco Holding Co. emerged from bankruptcy in 2002 and continues to shed assets, reporting $33.8 million in cash and short-term investments on Sept. 30, the showdown with the former execs is crucial to ending the case and related state and federal litigation. (Two more proceedings are outstanding in Europe.) How long has the bankruptcy lasted? Its first judge retired, the second was elevated to chief judge and the latest is 81 and nearing the end of his second 14-year term. Not every former Comdisco exec is down and out. Thomas Flohr, a German native who ran Comdisco Europe, settled claims and now heads Swiss luxury air charter VistaJet Holding S.A. But other Comdisco alums, among 65 initially sued for $106.8 million in principal and interest, have declared bankruptcy, including Michael Ross in October. The Elmhurst resident and former executive vice president, who is liable for nearly $3 million, won't comment. His attorney, Charles Stahl, says, “It's like gum on the bottom of your shoe. You can't get rid of it.” DOT-BOMB Rosemont-based Comdisco was one of corporate Chicago's shooting stars before it crashed as one of its biggest dot-bombs. Revenue peaked at $4.2 billion in 1999, and the company employed 3,600 people. After golden-touch founder Ken Pontikes died in 1994, his son, Nicholas, embarked on a disastrous diversification plan during the tech bubble to invest $3 billion in 900 startups, including a high-speed Internet service provider. The executives' troubles started after they were persuaded in early 1998 to participate in a “shared investment plan,” in which the firm would borrow money to buy company shares, guarantee a $109 million loan and require 106 participants to sign promissory notes. Comdisco said the plan was designed to align company and management interests. Defendants allege that the idea, sprung at a winter sales meeting in Palm Springs, Calif. (or by mandatory teleconference), with a 48-hour deadline to act, was a fraudulent and off-balance-sheet scheme to manipulate the price of the stock and limit the executives' ability to leave the company. They contend that the size of the loans—a $1 million-plus loan to one borrower with no net worth and another for almost 10 times the borrower's net worth, according to court filings—violated Federal Reserve margin rules. “No reasonable bank would have approved me for the amount I borrowed on like terms and conditions,” says Steven Grundon, 59, a former Comdisco West Coast district sales manager who lives in San Diego and is out of the case after settling. Trustee John Costello, 65, and his law firm have been paid $9.2 million through October. A federal judge ruled eight years ago that Mr. Costello is “empowered, indeed obligated,” to pursue collection of the individual notes and the accumulated interest, notwithstanding fulfillment of the bank loan that funded the stock purchases. Some former execs, including Mr. Slevin and Rosemary Geisler, who was president of several Comdisco divisions, now owe close to $5 million each. Mr. Slevin, 76 and in uncertain health, says, “I try not to be bitter about it, but it's hard.” Ms. Geisler, an executive coach in Palatine, declines to comment. Defendants are wrangling with Mr. Costello over what's needed to prove they lack the means to justify continued prosecution. A clearly frustrated Judge Jack Schmetterer said in November, “Don't you folks talk to one another before you come here?” Mr. Costello, an Edwards Wildman Palmer LLP partner, declines to comment. His Boston-based firm points out that he has settled or obtained dismissals of 42 lawsuits and wants to bring the remaining ones to resolution as quickly as possible. In 2008, Mr. Costello successfully sought summary judgment, but the decision was reversed on appeal— one of several actions instigated by defendants that the law firm blames for delays. “The wheels of justice do often turn very, very slowly,” says Neal Wolf, a Chicago-based bankruptcy attorney who worked on a lengthy case involving UNR Industries Inc. “And it really is not the way the system is designed.” Among those who have settled, for undisclosed sums but reputedly for about 20 cents on the dollar, are former CFO John Vosicky, of Westchester, and Nicholas Pontikes, who lives in the Chicago area and was the plan's biggest borrower at $10.4 million. Neither could be reached for comment. Mr. Hewes, 60, who was Comdisco's general counsel before a stint as interim CEO, is handling part of his own defense to save money. He owes $2.6 million. “It's kind of turned into what I would call Dickens' 'Bleak House.' It's obviously affected me quite severely,” he says. Developers stampede River North with apartment projects CRAIN’S // Micah Maidenberg There are nearly enough developers with apartment proposals streaming into River North to fill one of the neighborhood's thumping nightclubs. Five projects worth roughly $500 million, including plans by Magellan Development Group LLC and the Kennedy family, would add nearly 1,500 units to the upscale area. The bulging pipeline comes on top of nearly 900 units scheduled to be completed this year, including a 450-unit tower near the East Bank Club by Chicago-based developer Habitat Co. Combined, the projects would almost double the supply of River North apartments, which is already at an all-time high of about 2,700 units. While not all of the proposals are likely to get financing, the risks are rising that a flood of rental units will hit the market in two to three years, when a stronger economy encourages more people to own rather than rent. “Real estate is always over-shooting and under-shooting the market,” says veteran developer David “Buzz” Ruttenberg, founder of Chicago-based Belgravia Group Ltd. “It's a little bit, in the short term, like musical chairs—there's not always enough to go around.” MAP: The various River North projects, both planned and underway Developers began plotting apartment projects as the condominium market started to collapse in 2007. Now, they're pushing forward with another wave of rental buildings as the pendulum swings back toward the condo market, which is strengthening. The building boom is being fueled by rising rents and occupancy rates in the center of the city. Effective rents, which factor in the value of concessions, in the top apartment buildings in the downtown market soared to $2.58 per square foot in the third quarter, the highest rate ever, according to a report from Appraisal Research Counselors, a Chicago consultancy. Occupancies hit 96 percent in the second quarter, the highest since late 2006. Fallout from the foreclosure crisis has fueled a shift away from condos, with downtown residents preferring the financial flexibility and reduced maintenance responsibilities of apartments, developers say. River North's 24/7 environment and location near the North Michigan Avenue shopping district and Loop office towers make the area attractive to residents. Rents are $2.77 per square foot, the highest in the market, Appraisal Research says. On Wolf Point, a venture that includes the Kennedys and developer Hines Interests L.P., has been working since May to resolve neighborhood opposition to plans for a $1 billion mixed-use development that would include an apartment tower to be developed by Chicago-based Magellan. “We think the demand is there, and the caliber of our site helps us to stand out versus the competition,” says James Walsh, managing director at Houston-based Hines. Less than a mile north of Wolf Point, Magellan is planning a 38-story apartment tower on the site of the Gino's East restaurant at Wells and Ontario streets, which would be torn down. “When you have a great site with unique attributes, you're protected as long as the economy and market is good,” says David Carlins, Magellan's president. Even he acknowledges some wariness about the crowded field. “We are somewhat nervous about what the potential pipeline could be,” he says. Meanwhile, developer Fred Latsko is moving forward on plans to build a 188-unit building on Illinois Street, just east of Gene & Georgetti restaurant. Vancouver, British Columbia-based real estate firm Onni Group of Cos. is planning two 200-unit developments in River North, including one on the site of the Clark & Barlow hardware store on Grand Avenue. To attract tenants, developers in River North will have to compete with more than 1,800 units under construction in nearby areas, such as Streeterville and downtown. To prevent a glut, potential lenders and investment partners will have to carefully scrutinize each project. “They are going to want to know how this deal succeeds relative to everything else that is going on in the market,” says Ronald DeVries, a vice president at Appraisal Research. Medicaid's best-selling drugs in Illinois CRAIN’S // Andrew L. Wang As in other health care plans, prescriptions are a significant part of Illinois' Medicaid spending on its 3 million beneficiaries. The state spent roughly 15 percent of its Medicaid budget in 2012 on drugs, including payments to pharmacies, shown below. In June, Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law reforms that trimmed $1.6 billion from the Medicaid budget for the 2013 fiscal year. A significant portion of the reductions — about $428 million — are cuts to drugrelated spending. [INFO GRAPHIC] Why the race to succeed Jackson Jr. is a bargain CRAIN’S // Paul Merrion With a little money and a few thousand votes, a seat in Congress soon will be won by a candidate who is far from the first choice of most voters in Chicago's 2nd Congressional District. In a district that supported President Barack Obama's re-election with more than 80 percent of the vote, the Feb. 26 Democratic primary is just six weeks away and likely to decide the race to replace Jesse Jackson Jr. (The general election is April 9.) The 22 candidates, including 17 Democrats, are scrambling to raise money and line up political advisers. But the crowded field and lack of any clear front-runner make it likely no one will get more than 25 percent of the primary vote. It could take only 12,000 votes to win, and perhaps just half that many if turnout is low. The rulebook for funding and operating a standard congressional race gets thrown out when the campaign is compressed into a few weeks and the object is to find just a few thousand hard-core supporters among about 420,000 registered voters. “You don't need a lot of votes—that's the beauty of this race,” says Chicago public affairs consultant Thom Serafin, who isn't working with any of the candidates. “A special election is not a small version of a regular election,” says Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Chicago. It took him only 12,118 votes, or 20.4 percent of those cast, to win a special primary in 2009 to fill the seat of Rahm Emanuel when he became White House chief of staff. “If you think it's a regular election with a smaller turnout, you won't be successful.” THOUSANDS vs. MILLIONS While most campaigns are cagey about their spending plans, they are likely in the range of the $300,000 to $550,000 that former Congressman Mel Reynolds says he plans to spend. That's far less than the $1 million to $5 million that all but the sleepiest House races cost in Illinois last year. Mr. Quigley raised $498,647 and spent $468,642 in his 2009 race. The amounts are smaller than usual because candidates are unlikely to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on broadcast TV advertising to reach a few thousand voters in a small part of the region. Some campaigns probably will use African-American radio as well as local cable TV, which costs $250 per 30second spot or less and can focus on the district. That means less for consultants who oversee advertising and typically retain a commission of 15 percent or less. Several campaigns say they have raised more than $100,000 already—Robin Kelly's campaign says it has raised more than $200,000—but it won't be known until reports are filed Feb. 14 how much is pledged and how much is actually in the bank. Only newly elected state Sen. Napoleon Harris, a restaurant owner and former pro football player, and health care consultant Joyce Washington are considered likely to put a lot of their own money into the race. Ald. Anthony Beale, 9th, could be a strong contender if he holds on to the 6,392 votes he got from that ward in 2011, plus whatever he can pick up in the rest of the district, which extends from the South Side of Chicago to Kankakee. 'ALWAYS ABOUT THE BASE' “It's always about the base, who has the base,” says Mike McKeon, a Joliet-based pollster working for the Beale campaign. “He can generate an 8,000- or 9,000-vote plurality out of that ward” alone. Similarly, Debbie Halvorson, a former U.S. representative and Illinois Senate majority leader, might do well if she holds on to just half of the 22,672 votes she got in the primary last March against Mr. Jackson. “In a short election like this, we know where our plus voters are because they voted for me in the primary,” she says. The same could be said for state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, who was re-elected last fall with more than 52,000 votes, or Mr. Harris, who racked up almost 74,000 votes running unopposed, or Ms. Kelly, who got more than 30,000 votes the last time she ran for state representative, in 2006. The most precious commodity is time. “One day is a week in campaign life at this point,” says Mr. Reynolds, who is attempting a comeback after sexual and financial scandals forced him to resign the seat in 1995. “The question becomes how much time do you spend shoring up your base, and how much time do you spend attracting new voters,” says Cook County Commissioner John Fritchey, who ran second to Mr. Quigley in 2009 with 16.5 percent of the vote. “What is certain is that you don't have much room for mistakes.” Jewel isn't as valuable as it looks CRAIN’S // Joe Cahill Wall Street sees the acquisition of Jewel-Osco as a real estate play, and I don't doubt it. My doubts center on the long-term upside for the 180 Jewel stores and retail real estate in general. The same group of buyers—private-equity firm Cerberus Capital Management L.P. and four real estate outfits—made a bundle reselling more than 400 of the 650 grocery stores they acquired from Albertson's in 2006. It's only logical to expect they'll try to repeat the trick with the five chains they agreed to acquire last week from Jewel parent Supervalu for $100 million in cash and $3.2 billion in assumed debt. “They're not likely to be in this a long time,” says real estate analyst John Sheehan of Edward Jones in St. Louis. “They're probably already plotting a way out.” But if Cerberus and its partners aim to flip the 877 Supervalu properties, they had better move fast, before the Internet scrambles their IRR forecasts. Online shopping is transforming retailing in a way that erodes the long-term value of retail real estate. More of us are doing more of our shopping online, where prices are often lower and you don't have to leave home. Most of the growth in retailing is online, which has grown to 8 percent of total sales from 2 percent in 2000, according to Forrester Research Inc. in Cambridge, Mass. Yes, there will always be stores. We're just not going to need as many of them as we would if the Internet hadn't come along. Entire categories of brick-and-mortar retailers are disappearing under the online onslaught. Been to a music store lately? Big-box chains with business models based on maxed-out real estate footprints are reeling. Best Buy Co., Staples Inc. and Office Depot Inc. are all closing stores. Even higher-end retailers less vulnerable to online competition are shifting investment to the Web from physical stores. And online delivery services are entrenched in the grocery business in which Cerberus and its partners are investing. What's more, traditional midmarket chains like Jewel are losing sales on the low end to Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Target Corp. and at the high end to Whole Foods Market Inc. and Roundy's Inc.'s Mariano's Fresh Markets. Against that backdrop, it's hard to see much demand for properties like the Jewel stores. Big grocery chains aren't expanding, though a giant like Kroger Co. might be willing to buy its way into the Chicago market at the right price. Conversion to residential or mixed-use might work for some locations, but many of Jewel's stores are in congested suburban commercial corridors with limited residential potential. Although retail vacancy rates are down from recession-era peaks, they still run high, with strip malls at nearly 11 percent, according to third-quarter data from Reis Inc., a New York-based research firm. Don't expect them to return to historic averages anytime soon. As more sales shift online, ripple effects will spread far beyond the balance sheets of investors like Cerberus. Brick-and-mortar retailing is a central pillar of the local economy. Regional malls and strip centers generate an outsize share of jobs and tax dollars in the city and suburbs. Chicago's Magnificent Mile shopping mecca draws tourists from around the world. Stagnating store sales will drag down employment and tax revenues in many areas. Filling empty storefronts will become a vexing challenge for local officials. In the long run, municipalities that depend on retail taxes to balance budgets and limit residential property tax hikes will face painful fiscal choices. It's time for everyone with a stake in the future of retail real estate to recalibrate their projections. Hotel Indigo, celebrity chef eye Michigan Ave. CRAIN’S // Ryan Ori A Hotel Indigo and celebrity chef David Burke are coming to the East Loop, setting up shop in a longvacant Michigan Avenue building just north of Millennium Park. A spokeswoman for InterContinental Hotels Group PLC confirms that the British company will manage a 145-room hotel at 168 N. Michigan Ave. under its boutique brand name. Meanwhile, developer Musa Tadros is wrapping up a deal with Mr. Burke, who has been scouting locations for a second Chicago restaurant, sources say. Mr. Tadros, president of Frankfort-based Crown Commercial Real Estate & Development Inc.,�bought the 12-story former Atlantic Bank Building for $7.25 million in June. He says he plans within the next few months to gut the 101-year-old structure and top it with four more floors and a rooftop bar. The redevelopment will cost about $30 million, including the acquisition cost, and the hotel and two-level restaurant will open by early 2014, he says. Mr. Tadros still has to secure a construction loan but says he is talking with interested lenders. He declines to disclose his restaurant tenant, but sources say he is finalizing a deal with Mr. Burke, the television chef whose only current Chicago restaurant is David Burke's Primehouse, which�opened in 2006�in the James Hotel in River North. A spokeswoman for Mr. Burke's restaurant operation, David Burke Group, wouldn't confirm the plans. “We do not currently have plans for another restaurant in Chicago,” she says in an email. People familiar with the tower said the layout is challenging for a hotel in part because nearby buildings, including the 41-story�office tower�to the south and a 42-story�apartment building under construction just to the west, block views. The project, however, is likely to benefit from its proximity to Millennium Park. Putting a restaurant just north of Michigan and Randolph Street is tricky, since the heart of the Magnificent Mile shopping area is a few blocks north on Michigan, across the Chicago River, says Doug Simons, owner of Chicago-based bar and restaurant brokerage Simons Restaurant Exchange. Because of that, the restaurant's fate could depend on the Hotel Indigo's success, says Mr. Simons, who is not involved in the deal. “Midblock, you need an awfully strong (hotel) flag that draws traffic,” he says. “If you're a tourist coming to Chicago, you want to be where the shopping is—and that's north of the river.” TOURIST TRADE Brokers say Mr. Burke is likely to pursue a concept with lower-end options than Primehouse, which boasts dry-aged steaks. China Grill, which thrived in other markets but closed here a year ago, demonstrated the importance of pricing on that stretch of Michigan Avenue, says retail broker Allen Joffe, a vice president at Chicago-based Baum Realty Group LLC. “If you're at a good price point, you'll bring in the tourist trade,” Mr. Joffe says. InterContinental opened its second Chicago-area Hotel Indigo in 2005, in the Gold Coast. But the owner of the 165-room hotel at 1244 N. Dearborn Pkwy. lost it to foreclosure in May. A spokesman for Miami Beach, Fla.-based LNR Partners LLC, a loan servicer that seized the property in a sheriff's sale, declines to comment on its plans for the building. It's always Christmas at this manufacturer CRAIN’S // Meribah Knight The peak season for sending packages may have just ended, but for Wynright Corp., a material handling manufacturer, packages are always in season. Elk Grove Village-based Wynright helps companies such as Converse Inc., Chicago-based Tootsie Roll Industries Inc. and Northbrook-based Crate & Barrel Holdings Inc. make sure everything from high-top sneakers to long-stemmed drinking glasses travels safely and efficiently from one end of a warehouse to the other. Think robots unloading trucks or boxes whizzing by on conveyor belts, getting pushed in different directions by automated arms. Business is booming as more consumers forgo brick-and-mortar stores to purchase items online. Kohl's Corp., based in Menomonee Falls, Wis.; Williams-Sonoma Inc.; Sports Authority Inc. and Guitar Center Inc. all look to Wynright for help mastering an increasingly complex set of distribution scenarios: wholesale, store inventory and direct-to-consumer. The rise in electronic commerce has “completely changed the landscape” of the material handling industry, says Kevin Ambrose, Wynright's chief executive officer. The 40-year-old, privately held company ranks 17th among the world's top 20 material handling companies, according to a survey by Modern Materials Handling magazine. Revenue in 2011 was a record-breaker for the company, increasing 60 percent, to $216 million from $135 million in 2010. Revenue for 2012 will be about the same, Mr. Ambrose says. VIDEO: Watch Wynright's package-handling equipment in action Companies' desire to manage the mix of orders has created an “appetite for automation,” he says. Sales for Wynright's robotic devices surged by 125 percent in 2011. And in the past two years the company, whose products include everything from mechanical conveyors to sophisticated software, has grown its workforce by more than 20 percent. With nearly 500 employees, 40 percent of Wynright's staff is degreed engineers, Mr. Ambrose says. “The environment that is being created is one where we have to have technology and humans side-byside, hand-in-hand, interacting,” he says of the material handling industry. His biggest challenge is finding enough engineers to keep up with demand. Wynright has engineering and sales offices in Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Florida and California and manufacturing facilities in Illinois, New Hampshire and Texas. RECORD HIGH On the whole, material handling is thriving. The $160 billion industry grew by double digits in 2012 and is poised for high-single-digit growth in 2013, says George Prest, CEO of the Material Handling Industry of America association, based in Charlotte, N.C. According to Bob Reinfried, executive vice president of the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association in Naples, Fla., North American shipments for all types of conveyors hit a record high of $8.5 billion in 2011, a 28 percent jump over 2010. The organization forecasts an increase of 17 to 20 percent in 2012. Shipments through October already exceeded shipments for all of 2011, Mr. Reinfried says. He attributes the boom to pent-up demand by distributors following the recession mixed with an increase in direct-toconsumer shipments. According to Mr. Ambrose, the majority of the growth is not coming from companies expanding their distribution footprint but rather leveraging assets they already have to face the “direct-to-consumer challenge.” This was the case when Lloyd Wallsten, vice president of distribution at Converse, hired Wynright in 2002 to develop a scalable system, since Converse had declared bankruptcy in 2001 and its future was uncertain. With a limited budget, Mr. Wallsten challenged Wynright to design a system that could “grow to whatever success we were going to have,” he says. The facility sustained Converse for five years and boosted it to shipping more than 10 million units from 4 million units. In 2010, after Converse acquired an apparel company, Mr. Wallsten tapped Wynright again, this time to double Converse's distribution capacity to 30 million units. Currently, North Andover, Mass.-based Converse ships 30 million pairs of shoes and another 15 million pieces of apparel per year on Wynright-designed systems. Its next step, Mr. Wallsten says, is to create programs that reduce energy consumption. Conveniently for Converse, Wynright this month will launch its “green line” product, which uses approximately 30 percent less energy than traditional handling systems. The savings is accomplished mainly by placing motors inside rollers with motion sensors that turn off when no item is detected. Mr. Ambrose compares Wynright's task of manufacturing and engineering handling systems to that of Apple Inc.'s role in consumer electronics. Material handling equipment, Mr. Ambrose says, “needs to be as simple and as intuitive as the iPad.” Chicago developer stores his passion for wine in a cellar 43 floors up CRAIN’S // Shia Kapos Used to be, when prominent property manager Robert Buford entertained, he'd have to make his way a few miles to the warehouse that stores his wine collection. It was a time-consuming nuisance. No more. These days, Mr. Buford, 64, who sits on Chicago's Community Development Commission, runs to the “basement,” as he calls the 43rd floor of his Gold Coast high-rise, the first of three floors in his 12,500-square-foot apartment. It's here that he recently installed a state-of-the-art, 154-square-foot wine cellar with 8-foot ceilings, custom lighting and enough space to accommodate 2,700 bottles of wine, not even half his collection. The custom-made room was analyzed by structural engineering experts to ensure it could accommodate nearly 200 cases of wine, each weighing 35 pounds. (The rest of his collection is in the warehouse.) It features a crystal chandelier, back-lighting in wine drawers, granite counters, tree-stump flooring and an adjustable thermostat set at 57 degrees. What you won't find is an electronic-monitoring system. Mr. Buford is as old-school as a “Downton Abbey” butler in tracking his collection. He keeps a hefty paper spreadsheet that lists each bottle, its origin, the year it was produced, how many cases or bottles he purchased and how many remain. “Who needs electronic labeling when this is so easily navigable?” he says. His preferred Bordeaux wines line the wall on the left before giving way to wines from California, Italy, Spain, Germany and Austria. Mr. Buford, a major collector of mostly post-Impressionist art, started acquiring wine in the 1990s, after traveling to the Bordeaux region of France. “I came back with enough knowledge to start thinking about it seriously and to start buying,” he says. He is a regular at Chicago Wine Co. and Chicago-based Hart Davis Hart Wine Co. He recently dined with the city's top wine collectors at a party for famed French wine maker Christian Mouiex, who was in town for a Hart auction. “At the end of the day, it's not an expense. It's an investment,” Mr. Buford says of his wine passion. “When your wine collection is going up in value, you feel less concerned about drinking an expensive bottle.” He approached construction of his wine cellar with the same intensity he puts into purchasing a Raoul Dufy or bottle of Chateau Margaux. He studied, made lists and talked to experts before choosing Revel Custom Wine Cellars in Holland, Mich., for the six-figure project. Mr. Buford wanted a room that was as beautiful as it was accessible, and he thinks he has it. What Revel didn't count on were the difficulties maneuvering in a big-city high-rise. “Getting the material in and out was the biggest challenge. Parking was tight, and we could only use the elevator between 8 and 5,” Revel President James Cash says. “It was a surprise, but we handled it. It just took a little longer to accomplish.” (They've since done a second city cellar.) For Mr. Buford, who entertains regularly, it was worth the wait. “Wine goes beyond the dinner table. With wine you get conversations about travel, geography, food. You wind up with debates about quality and value. They're all apolitical conversations. They're fun,” he says, noting that Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been a guest. A party this month will bring together friends of the Becker Friedman Institute for Research in Economics. There will be a string quartet, expansive views of the city's twinkling lights and a discussion about the economy. And, of course, there will be wine and plenty of talk about it. Best of all, he says, if it comes time to bring out another Bordeaux, it's just steps away in the cellar. Will Getco embarrass Emanuel by moving? CRAIN’S // Greg Hinz After a pretty solid initial year in office, Mayor Rahm Emanuel has had to endure some sophomore blues. The city's soaring murder count is generating the kind of scathing national media play that must drive media junkie Mr. Emanuel wacko. Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis was emboldened by her at least partial victory against him in last fall's school strike and surely will reprise her role as irritant in chief. Springfield's inaction threatens to leave the mayor with neither the casino he craves nor a reasonable solution to the city's staggering pension woes. Now comes a challenge (or opportunity, depending on your perspective) to what has been Mr. Emanuel's forte: economic development. On the block is the ultimate location of the headquarters of one of Chicago's most important financial concerns, and to keep it here, Team Rahm really is going to need to play its A-game. I'm talking about Getco LLC, a major player in the arcane but lucrative world of high- frequency trading. It's based here in Chicago but recently agreed to acquire a troubled but much larger rival, Knight Capital Group Inc., to create what my colleague Lynne Marek neatly referred to as “a New York-centric company nearly five times Getco's current size.” When it comes to landing headquarters and big corporate relocations, Mr. Emanuel has done a pretty good job. Thanks to a combination of favorable economic trends, his own persistence and some pure luck—the proportions vary by case—he has been able to beam at news conferences while announcing that corporate heavy hitters such as Motorola Mobility, Hillshire Brands Co., GE Capital and Nokia Corp. either are moving or sharply enlarging their operations here. Even better, most of that has come without the sort of tax-increment financing incentives that arguably worked but got former Mayor Richard M. Daley in trouble when he used them to lure the headquarters and operations center of United Airlines. But Getco promises to be a tougher task, which perhaps explains why City Hall doesn't want to say much beyond that it's “working with Getco to make sure that Chicago is the best possible merger partner.” Mr. Emanuel met this week with the company. Getco declines to comment. What I do know is that the company is a prize worth fighting for. With nearly 2,000 workers around the globe, before any layoffs, it's chock-full of the traders, computer jocks, algorithm writers and other wellcompensated types that Chicago increasingly is pinning its economic future on. And the mayor and his team, including Deputy Mayor Steve Koch and World Business Chicago's Michael Sacks, all come from that world, presumably giving them a little insight, if not influence, on what such a company might want in return for calling Chicago home. Unfortunately for them, the bulk of the new firm's business is done on the East Coast. Moreover, CEO Daniel Coleman lives in Alabama and, even pre-merger, was commuting to Chicago and New York. In other words, he's no Cubs-capped Chicagoan. Knight has been based in Jersey City, N.J., and the new company could end up there, too. One insider says the HQ issue could turn into a split decision. This source points me to Guggenheim Partners LLC, an equally large financial services outfit with more than $160 billion in assets under management that has joint headquarters in Chicago and New York. The setup, which came about after a Chicago company merged with a New York firm, has gone well, a spokeswoman says. Though the president lives in New York and the CEO in Chicago, all four members of the executive committee rotate regularly among them and a third office, in California, she says. Maybe Getco can split its loyalties, too. Maybe not. What I do know is that this one will say a lot about what Mr. Emanuel's new Chicago can bring to the table. Read more of Greg Hinz on his blog.

FOX News at 8:30AM: Governor Quinn discusses possible casinos in Illinois FLANNERY: Good morning. Welcome to the program. I'm political editor mike Flannery. Darlene hill is on assignment this morning. We're happy to have Governor Quinn in our studio today, and governor, let's get right to it. The senate president after sitting on a bill for an extraordinary amount of time that some, in a tactic that has rarely, if ever, been used before, on the last day of the session, gave you that bill that creates five new land-based casinos. It lets race tracks across the state get slot machines. Are you going to sign it? Are you going to veto it? Are you going to do something with it? GOV. QUINN: Well, I call it the "casino on every street corner" bill. It doesn't have much when it comes to ethics and regulation. We don't want to have wide-open gambling here in Chicago or anywhere else in Illinois. We have to have proper ethics and regulations. We can't have the casino interests giving out loads of campaign money to politicians. I think that's a prescription for disaster for our state. And I also FLANNERY: So you want to see a ban on gambling interests making donations. GOV. QUINN: Yes, there's got to be some rules, and that's what governors like me are here for. We've got to make sure that we protect the public, the everyday public from things that would go wrong. I've already vetoed one of the gaming bills they did send me, and this one just arrived. It's actually worse than the one i vetoed, so I wouldn't hold your breath on that one getting signed. It hasn't arrived yet. But I do want to say, we can do this in the right way in Illinois. We can have an expansion, a modest expansion of casino gambling if it's done right, and that means tough ethics, a ban on campaign contributions. The money that comes from gambling, any new money, has to go to something important, and that means education, to me. I think that -FLANNERY: Mayor Emanuel at city hall, as you know, said that he's going to put all the city gaming proceeds into schools for the 21st century. GOV. QUINN: Yeah, he and I, we've talked about that. We had a very good meeting, I thought, because I encouraged that, and the mayor believes that any money that the city of Chicago would get from a gambling casino would go to something that really helps the children. That's education, good schools, 21st century schools, where you can make sure that children get the best education in the United States. So I think this could be done, but it's got to be done right, and right now, it can't be a last-minute, middle-of-the-night maneuver. So that particular bill doesn't have much chance. FLANNERY: What does it take -- first, let me ask, because you and others in Springfield are going to be trying to do so much. The number one budget priority, obviously, is pensions, and we're going to talk about that in our next segment. As you try to get that done, does gambling become a bargaining chip? I mean, for everybody out there who saw the movie "Lincoln," you know, we're dealing with slavery, right, the 13th amendment to the constitution, but that movie was really about how a bill becomes law, the tradeoffs that take place. So do you trade off casinos for votes for on that? GOV. QUINN: No, I don't think so. "Lincoln" was a good movie, I recommend it, mike. I saw it. We are the land of Lincoln, Illinois, and we can be very proud of Abraham Lincoln. FLANNERY: Well, what about the guy that wanted to trade his votes on whether slavery will continue, he wanted to become the postmaster in the western reserve of Ohio? GOV. QUINN: Well, we're not doing that. We don't have anything in Ohio to give away, even if we did. No, it's important to understand, democracy sometimes takes a while to get important things done, difficult things done, but that's what i do. I do hard, difficult things that are necessary for the common good. When it comes to gambling, we're not going to have a gaming bill pass before we do a very important mission of reform, and that's to reform the pension systems. That's very hard. That's eating brussel sprouts for a week at a time, and we're not going to have chocolate fudge sundaes and gaming bills before we really do the hard things that are necessary. FOX News at 8:30AM: Governor Quinn discusses gun control legislation FLANNERY: Another very hard thing, and we saw it, even though in other states that are taking action in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre, the general assembly, the lame duck session, didn't even bother to call a vote, because the assault weapons ban, the ban on the larger, the .50 caliber and larger rounds and the high-capacity magazines was so short of votes. GOV. QUINN: We can pass that, I think we can pass that in the coming legislature. There's new people coming into the legislature. Last summer, after aurora, Colorado, where we lost a young sailor from Illinois, John Larimer, put his body in front of his girlfriend and saved her life, he was shot down by that gunman in that theater, that midnight theater, I proposed the bill to ban assault weapons in Illinois, to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines that go with them. We need to get that law passed, and we're going to work as hard as we can this coming year to get that done for the public safety. I think there's a majority in both houses for that, and we'll work hard to get it done. FLANNERY: Does that get caught up in the maneuvering over casinos, pensions, gay marriage, and other topics we'll talk about later? Doesn't it get caught up in the final days all sort of together? GOV. QUINN: I hope it isn't the final days. I think public safety comes first. That's why we should deal with the assault weapon issue. You know, one person who supported me on that when I made my decision last summer was Tim McCarthy, who is the police chief of Orland Park, Illinois, and a good friend of mine. He's exactly the same age as I am. We went to high schools in the same league. Tim McCarthy was the secret service agent who saved the life of President Reagan. FLANNERY: Literally took the bullet. GOV. QUINN: He did. He is a police chief. He understands how important it is for law enforcement to make sure these assault weapons, military-style assault weapons aren't in the hands of gangbangers and others who would do us harm. FLANNERY: One last question on that, governor. I mean, sitting right here the other day, we had -- a couple of weeks ago, Representative Brandon Phelps. He strongly opposes these proposals you've made. He comes from southern Illinois along the Kentucky border, and he argues that your definitions in that law were too broad, the so-called assault weapons ban, he said, would ban guns that are used for hunting squirrels. GOV. QUINN: Well, I don't agree with that. He's a nice fellow. I just totally disagree with him on the issue of banning assault weapons and the high-capacity ammunition magazines that go with them that allows round after round to be used to kill people, and we have to do something about that. We have to have the political courage to go forward, and i proposed my idea last summer. FLANNERY: You don't buy the argument that more guns equals more safety. GOV. QUINN: No, I don't. We're not going to be putting guns in classrooms. We already had a tragedy in northern Illinois University on Valentine’s Day of 2008 where five students were gunned down on a Friday afternoon in their classroom by a deranged gunman using these kinds of weapons, so we have to do something about the weapons and we have to do something, mike, about mental health issues in Illinois. We'll be doing that in the coming year. FLANNERY: We have to put it together and make sure the people are safe. GOV. QUINN: All right, governor. When we come back, we will be talking about public employee pensions and that approximately $100 billion unfunded liability, give or take a few billion here or there. We'll be right back with "fox 32 Sunday." FOX News at 8:30AM: Governor Quinn discusses pension reform in Illinois FLANNERY: It is the elephant in the state house, the pension crisis. The general assembly wrapped up its lame duck session last week with no deal on this issue, and just this past Friday, Fitch gave Illinois bonds a negative outlook rating. Fitch said that its relative downgrade reflected, quote, the ongoing inability of the state to address its large and growing unfunded pension liability of about $100 billion, although some say it's as big as $200 billion, depending on the underlying assumptions that you make. The agency called Illinois’s pension situation unsustainable. So governor -- GOV. QUINN: Sounds like I’ve been saying that all year long. FLANNERY: You have actually said that, haven't you? The complaint is you've gotten nothing done. GOV. QUINN: Well, we haven't gotten the final reform done, but i think we've made progress. I proposed in last April of last year a plan to do this, to get us back to full pension funding within a reasonable period of time, and i think we've made progress in narrowing the differences between the house and the senate, the different players in the different bills, and we have to get it done as quickly as possible. FLANNERY: Let me ask you, how is it possible -- because i get this question all the time, even from people who work off camera here. How is it possible if we raise the income tax, the state income tax by $7 or $8 billion a year and we still have a pile of unpaid bills bigger than ever? GOV. QUINN: Well, when I arrived there was $12 billion of unpaid bills. I inherited a big mess from Rod Blagojevich and George Ryan. They didn't do a very good job with the pension issue either. The liabilities kept going up and money wasn't put in. And that whole problem of pensions wasn't just the last two governors before me, it was really 70 years in the making. When you don't put the money in the pension account over years and give all kinds of extra benefits, sometime the chickens come home to roost. FLANNERY: Where has the $8 billion from the income tax gone? GOV. QUINN: Well, we pay our bills. We have to pay bills for schools and public safety and public health. You know, we've actually reduced our amount of money that we owe by a considerable amount. Every year, we knock it down a little bit lower. We have to pay back the overdue bills, but we also have to, at the same time, deal with this pension crisis. This is an emergency. Because previous governors, previous legislators did not properly invest in the fund, now we have to put in billions of dollars every year to keep it up to date. And so I have to do that at the same time. We have to bring our legislators together, work together as a team to pass a pension reform that will help us rescue the system. FLANNERY: Now, we had the founder of your fan club over there at afscme, Henry Baird, told a general assembly committee the other day that you've got a tea party solution. Cut, cut, cut. This, of course, after that $8 billion income tax increase. He said you're the Scott Walker of Illinois. Is that what you're talking about? Cut, cut, cut? GOV. QUINN: We have cut state government spending to 2008 levels. We'll probably, this year, have to cut even more. The basic operations of state government are -FLANNERY: Far more money is now going for pensions. GOV. QUINN: Yeah, we had to do that for the economy's sake to begin with when i arrived. We had a fiscal crisis, an economic crisis, and an ethics crisis, all at the same time when i became governor. We've been able to address the ethics crisis. We have an honest government. We had to deal with the job crisis. We've been able to get our economy back on track. We have a long way to go, but we have a lot better economy today than we did four years ago. And then finally, this whole fiscal crisis with the pension and that, it's going to take some time to dig out. We've made some progress. The key way to make more progress is to reform the pension system. FLANNERY: In a quick nutshell, give me 30 seconds, governor, on what your proposals do. I know you want to suspend -- you and your allies have talked about spending the cost-of-living raises for a period. Right now, they're at 3% a year guaranteed, and that doubles after every 22 years or so, that doubles the amount that retirees receive, but they're saying they were promised that. GOV. QUINN: Well, they advocated for a lot of these changes, those who are beneficiaries, and unfortunately, at the time they advocated, there was no money to pay for these things, then or now, and what we have to do is recite reality. What i said earlier this year in a speech, we have to have a rendezvous with reality, and my job as governor is to tell people, the everyday people of Illinois, the truth. You don't want a governor who tries to snow the voters. You have to sell people the truth. FLANNERY: Freeze for a period of time? GOV. QUINN: Yeah, you've got to deal with the cost of living. FLANNERY: That's where the big money is. GOV. QUINN: Yeah, a cost-of-living adjustment, we have to make some changes. We have to deal with the employer contributions, that's what the government does. But also employee contribution. We may have to ask for more there. FLANNERY: The unions have said 2% more, they'll pay. GOV. QUINN: Well, we're willing to look at that. That's got a possibility. FLANNERY: Does it have to be more than that? GOV. QUINN: We'll see. It's all about negotiations. We've come much closer today to getting a bill passed. John Cullerton, our senate president, put in a bill, senate bill 1, the other day, that combines a lot of the ideas from both parties, both houses, and i think it's a very good idea to look at his bill and push it along and see if we can get it passed into law. FLANNERY: All right, governor. When we come back, we'll be talking about the battle over same-sex marriage rights in Illinois. Supporters thought they had the votes to make gay marriage law in that lame duck session, but the bill failed last week. FOX News at 8:30AM: Governor Quinn discusses gay marriage in Illinois FLANNERY: We're back with the governor of Illinois, pat Quinn. There was a bit of a surprise in Springfield this week, with the failure, at least for now, of the gay marriage bill. Governor, you know, proponents still say it's a matter of when, not if. Are they right? GOV. QUINN: It's going to happen. I signed the bill for civil unions, and I think this year we'll have marriage equality passed by the senate and the house, and I’ll sign it into law. It's going to help us economically in Illinois. A lot of our businesses have asked that this law be passed. FLANNERY: What about the objections that we heard from Springfield’s bishop Paprocki that this is going to take away religious freedom, it's going to force, he fears, parish halls may be forced to hold receptions for gay weddings? Indeed, there are exceptions for -- they won't be forced to conduct a wedding in the church, but they're afraid that parish halls might be involved. GOV. QUINN: I don't think that's a reasonable fear. I think we can have a process of law that allows for marriage equality, doesn't involve any religious freedom violations whatsoever, and we can move on. FLANNERY: So the concern -- would you be open to putting language in that would give them specific exemptions for the parish hall, the gymnasium? GOV. QUINN: We're working on wording. The key is marriage equality. That is a point that we have arrived at in our state of Illinois where we can do this and we will do it. FOX News at 8:30AM: Governor Quinn comments on Jesse and Sandi Jackson’s resignations FLANNERY: Sandi Jackson resigned Friday. Her husband resigned from Congress a few weeks ago. Your reaction. GOV. QUINN: I've known Sandi a long, long time, and she's a good person. For all the times I’ve known her, she's a generous person. I know her wish her well. FLANNERY: What went wrong for the Jacksons? They were once the power couple of Chicago. GOV. QUINN: I have no idea what went wrong with them. I think we'll hear details in the coming months. I wish congressman Jackson and his wife and kids good luck. Mlk's birthday is coming up, and we should remember what dr. King said to all of us, that it's our job. Everyone can be great, he said, because everyone can serve. Find a way to serve your community. That's what all they should do.

I will send clips once stories are posted. Weekend Hispanic press crews are light sometimes. Have a great rest of your day. Eve Univision Gladys Valerio, Univision Reporter http://univisionchicago.univision.com/videos/video/2013-01-12/becas-estudiantesindocumentados-dreamers-illinois Scholarship for undocumented students in Illinois Reporter: Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced today that a portion of the funds designated to help undocumented students go to college will be utilized to help another group of students who are in the federal program JROTC, that will help these students who want to integrate themselves into the military service of this country. Reporter: Benito Juarez High School was the stage for CPS Information Day for DREAMERS where Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced a new resource for some undocumented students that dream about going to college. Adolfo: The Mayor today announced that $100,000 will be dedicated to support scholarships for students in the JROTC program who are undocumented. Reporter: The $100,000 will come out of the $250,000 that were raised privately by the Mayor for the program Illinois Dream Fund. Jose Pantoja is one of the youth that will benefit from this initiative. Jose Pantoja JROTC Student: Before I was so worried about what I was going to do in the future for college. But now with this, this will help me so much because I know I am going to do something with my life and help my community. Reporter: As you may remember the IL Dream was a measure approved in 2011 to raise funds to assist undocumented students of the state to receive scholarships to go to college. Adolfo: These young people want to do something for our country, for our city, they want to be part of the marines, the army, but they can’t because the statue does not allow them, that is why we want to make sure we are supporting them to attend college or university. Reporter: To qualify the students must be a freshman in College and have a GPA of 2.5 out of 4.

Glad to hear things are well, and you are keeping your head above water. I know we’ve tried to match schedules on my recent trips to Chicago, but were unsuccessful. Hopefully we’ll find a time in the near future. As I mentioned, I wanted you to be aware of a significant upcoming BMO event in Chicago, and would very much appreciate your considering joining us for a brief address. The Directors’/Managing Directors’ Conference is held every 3 years, and brings together the senior leadership of BMO Capital Markets - approximately 800 senior leaders from nine countries, four continents and twenty two cities, will be in Chicago, our U.S. headquarters, for the conference. The last time this event was held in Chicago was in 2006. This year’s event, at the Swissôtel, will cost approximately $2.5 million. By way of a reminder regarding the firm - BMO Capital Markets is one of the largest investment banking employers in Chicago, with approximately 300 professionals, annual revenue of $3.3 billion and net income of nearly $1 billion. Our trading floor on the 37th floor of 115 South La Salle Street is state-of-the-art and was officially opened by Mayor Richard Daley in 2010. We are also the only Chicago-based primary dealer and in 2012 were lead underwriter for the City’s $416 million bond financing. BMO Capital Markets is part of BMO Financial Group (NYSE/TSX: BMO).

You will see in the agenda outline below that during the afternoon of the conference on Saturday, April 27, attendees will be participating in a group activity which involves the makeover of a Chicago elementary school. Our group will break up into 75 teams, each of which will work on specific tasks including the building and installation of a playground structure, painting, repairing, library book revamping and sports field improvements. We will work with the school as well as students and parents to plan a Spring School BBQ, where we will reveal the completed projects, with the grand reveal being the playground. It would be great if you could join us and briefly address our conference. You could attend part or all of our cocktail reception which will be from 6:30-7pm on Saturday, April 27, at the Swissôtel, although we could accommodate any time that fits in your schedule that day. You would have the opportunity to address our 800 senior leaders.

From: jim Signorelli [mailto:jim.signorelli@eswpartners.com] Sent: Monday, February 04, 2013 3:55 PM To: Michael Pfleger Subject: Stay Silent, Stay Scared Father, Once again, I want to thank you for your active interest in putting a stop to our city's shooting spree which has now reached startling and newsworty proportions. As you and I have discussed, an unwritten code of silence remains one of our city’s most formidable challenges. This was brought to our attention first hand when we interviewed students from Bowen High School. As we both know, a great deal of information is heard, seen, and shared with peers when it comes to shootings, both before and after the fact. Yet the fear of being labeled a "snitch" and threat of reprisal stands in the way sharing important information with authorities. In light of this, and when we met with students, we discussed a "Tip Submit" program similar to what is presented in the PSA that I've attached. It centers around a cell phone app that could be downloaded free and used to send instant, fully encrypted, anonymous tips to the Chicago Police Department. In short, "this is just what we need," seemed to be the resounding sentiment among students. Additionally, and given the trusted benefit of anonymity, students preferred this program in lieu of any financial incentives that could be used to encourage information sharing. "Tip Submit" has also been supported by those community organizers who volunteered to become part of a neighborhood coalition we called “S.O.S” for Stop Our Silence. (see website design in attached folder). We shot a commercial pro bono and a rough cut of the first PSA that we produced is attached. With a few visual edits and the addition of a professional voice over, this is ready to go. I'm also sending you a storyboarded idea to further emphasize the anonymity feature. I’ve also attached posters that are already printed and ready for distribution. We printed 1000 but there's far more where they came from. Whether these materials are the right materials to use or not, I still believe that this program is the right program to support. Besides encouraging support to end this code of silence, it provides an actionable solution, and one that can be executed right now. Later, perhaps a celebrity spokesperson could be used to support and deliver the message. Either way, and as previously promised, we would gladly advance this program through our relationships with the media. In fact, we've already received agreements from the CTA to put up posters on buses and trains. You may be asking what is in it for us. Personally, I am more than willing to continue dedicating resources of our agency and its suppliers, gratis, in order to bring this program to life. Because, if it saves just one life, one parent's agony, or reduces one kids' debilitating fear that we heard about first hand, it will be well worth knowing we helped. All we need is for city officials to support the idea and to give us the green light to make this program come to life. It has been close to 3 years since the idea for this program was born. That fact is less important to me than the fact that these materials and ideas are on our hard drives, and not where they could do the most good. Any help that you can provide to put us in front of the proper decision makers would be greatly appreciated. Every day that goes by is another day it could have worked.

Walter Green Michael Hennessy Rebeca and Craig Huffman Linda and Bernard Kastory Amy and Ben Kovler Lucy Pyles and Bill Ready Ramkumar Ramanan John Rogers, Jr. Mary Jo and Stephen Schuler Nancy Searle Katie Spring Mary and Harvey Struthers Carla and Bill Young (in formation) NFTE Chicago, one of eleven NFTE program offices in the United States, successfully launched a partnership with CPS under Arne Duncan’s leadership. NFTE’s program has been adopted as the primary business program within CPS and was recently awarded best math curriculum in the country by the Association of Educational Publishing (AEP). NFTE’s teacher training and professional development, experiential learning and engagement of over 500 business volunteers annually in the classroom enables students to harnesses their creativity, ambition and intellect by encouraging mastery of the core subjects - reading, writing and math – and by providing real-world lessons in business and competition. Research from Harvard and Brandies Universities demonstrates that NFTE’s impact leads to increased business knowledge and business formation rates, increased student college and career aspirations, improved reading abilities, and a higher feeling of control over one’s own life. Currently, NFTE Chicago is serving 1,500 young people in 33 schools throughout Chicago. NFTE’s goal is to serve an additional 500 young people during the upcoming school year and the success of this year’s Benefit will allow them to meet the existing demand for the program.

Included in the $7.2 billion package is energy efficiency work, runway expansion at O’Hare Airport, replacing crumbling sewer and water systems, 2,000 miles of repaved streets, and the creation of 180 acres of parks. Mayor Emanuel has proposed the creation of public-private partnerships through a new Chicago Infrastructure Trust to help finance the projects. In response Marcia Hale, President of Building America's Future, issued the following statement: “Mayor Emanuel’s proposal demonstrates visionary and common sense leadership. Everyone knows that our nation’s infrastructure is crumbling, putting citizens at risk and hurting economic competitiveness. We must now determine how best to maximize taxpayer investment. Establishing the Chicago Infrastructure Trust to help finance repairs and modernizations is a sound and effective approach to improving Chicago’s quality of life and economic prosperity. “The U.S. Senate recently approved a transportation bill (MAP-21) that includes several provisions making it more difficult for states and cities to continue to innovate and partner with the private sector. BAF supports MAP-21, but we have serious concerns over several provisions that would erect barriers to states and cities seeking to collaborate with the private sector. This is not the time to stymie creativity, and we urge Congress to drop those provisions so that initiatives such as the one being proposed by Mayor Emanuel are not hindered. “Mayor Emanuel’s proposal illustrates the need to protect the ability of states and cities seeking new solutions to infrastructure funding challenges. His actions today show leadership and creativity in addressing the growing crisis posed by our crumbling public infrastructure. Chicago has always been at the forefront of change and ingenuity and “Building a New Chicago” will generate economic development that can revitalize and improve the city’s infrastructure for future generations.” Building America's Future Educational Fund (BAF-EF) recently released a new report - "Falling Apart and Falling Behind" - comparing the transportation infrastructure investments in the U.S. with those being made by our economic competitors. The report includes a series of recommendations to policymakers; chief among them is to develop a national infrastructure strategy for the next decade that makes choices based on economics, not politics.

Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago (formerly Children's Memorial Hospital) is planning to honor our father, Lester Crown, with The Children's Trust Award on Wednesday, May 15. He will be recognized for his advocacy on behalf of the Chicago community's children and for his loyal service on the hospital's Board of Directors since 1965. Even though Dad is usually reluctant about these things, The Children's Trust Award will mean a lot to him, as has his service to Children's/Lurie. As part of the celebration, the event organizers are making a 'tribute video' for Dad based on video clips from some of his closest friends and colleagues. The team at the hospital hopes to complete all interviews before Friday, April 26. If you are amenable to participating, please have your office contact Erin Shields, VP, Communications, Lurie Children's Foundation, at 312-227-7270or eshields@luriechildrens.org. Erin will coordinate logistics related to an interview, along with video producer, Donna LaPietra of Kurtis Productions. They will provide background information and arrange a method to obtain your videotaped message. They'll plan to use sound bites from the interviews for the video tribute, but will make sure that Lester receives the unedited version of your message as well, following the event. If you prefer to provide your own videotaped message, the suggestion is that it approximate two minutes or less in length. Thank you in advance for considering this request to help in the celebration for Dad. In due course you will see a formal invitation for the evening, should you be able to attend.

City Colleges hires former fired Stroger comptroller BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter fspielman@suntimes.com April 23, 2013 11:20AM A former Cook County comptroller fired in 2011 after presiding over a department accused of overstating tax revenues by $90 million has landed on her feet — in a $95,000-a-year job at Chicago City Colleges. Connie Kravitz was quietly appointed district director of financial planning and budget for City Colleges at the April 4 board meeting, according to a personnel report approved by the board that day. The appointment marks a political comeback for Kravitz, who was appointed to the $165,000-a-year job of Cook County comptroller in September 2009 by then-Board President Todd Stroger, only to be fired two years later after Preckwinkle defeated Stroger. Shortly after taking office, Preckwinkle disclosed that her staff had discovered a discrepancy while preparing financial reports for a routine audit of the 2010 fiscal year. After digging deeper and examining reports for the previous year, they found duplicate journal entries for both $66 million in sales tax revenue and $24 million for cigarette tax proceeds. One of Kravitz’s subordinates initially wore the jacket for double-booking the revenues and was fired. But it wasn’t long before the comptroller, too, was sent packing. “We had the $90 million misstatement on her watch, but it was just time for us to go in a different direction,” Preckwinkle’s then-chief of staff Kurt Summers told the Chicago Sun-Times then. At the time of her dismissal, Kravitz had been publicly criticized at a County Board meeting for an error-filled report her office had released detailing which county employees had and had not taken furlough days that year. Preckwinkle ordered her to redo the report and publicly condemned the mistakes as “embarrassing.” Reached Tuesday at City Colleges, Kravitz said she has taken a “substantial pay cut” to return to the government work she loves. “I didn’t commit any mistake. That wasn’t the reason I was fired. It was an excuse. The only reason I was fired is because I was part of the Stroger administration. Me, along with a whole bunch of other people,” Kravitz said. Pressed to explain the $90 million double-billing, she said, “It wasn’t my mistake. I’m the one who caught it. And I wasn’t immediately fired. It was October when I was let go. We went public in May. At the time I was fired, I was told it wasn’t because of that. I’m a good, solid, hard worker. Me being let go that way and publicly like that — that hurt me. Please don’t continue that. I’m not politically backed.” In an email to the Sun-Times, City Colleges spokesman Laurent Pernot called Kravitz a “seasoned finance professional with a strong track record” in the public and private sectors, including stints at City Hall and the Chicago Park District. “While we cannot speak for Cook County on the reasons for ending her tenure there, during the hiring process we did speak with finance professionals familiar with her performance and the reporting issue at the County, and they endorsed her professional abilities and saw no link between Ms. Kravitz and the reporting mistake pertaining to the double-booking of accruals, which she uncovered herself,” Pernot wrote. The hiring was disclosed on the same day that Hyman and Mayor Rahm Emanuel welcomed a World Bank delegation eager to learn more about the colleges-to-career makeover at City Colleges and touted the nearly 60 percent increase that program has triggered in the number of students expected to earn associate degrees. Even with the increase, the graduation rate at City Colleges stands at just 12 percent. But, the 4,000 students in line to receive associate degrees represents the largest number of graduates in more than 20 years, officials said. “The strategic, effective and innovative choices we have made through the College to Careers program ensure that our students get the education they need to compete for and win the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow, promoting a strong and vibrant workforce that helps our city thrive,” Emanuel was quoted as saying in a press release. “We could not be more proud of these students and their results, showing we are on the right track.” Wendy Abrams Wendy Abrams Chief of Communications The Illinois Tollway Phone: 630.241.6800 x2387 www.illinoistollway.com From: Reidy, Jeanne Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 8:10 AM To: Campbell, Julia; Hall, Abby CC: Magana, Jasmine Subject: FW: Larry Summers Guessing you guys already have this but passing along just in case From: Julie Shample [mailto:julie.shample@larrysummers.com] Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 12:57 PM To: InvitationForTheMayor Cc: mayor_re@rahmemail.com Subject: Larry Summers DICTATED BY LARRY SUMMERS: Dear Rahm: I’ll be in Chicago on Monday, May 20th and wondered if you wanted to meet for breakfast at 10a or possibly a late dinner at 7:30p.

Brian and a squad of smart people on the vanguard of this movement are starting a nonprofit project: �"PEERS is a global movement fighting to make the sharing economy (or collaborative consumption) a dominant economic model in the 21st century. Our�goal is to accelerate the number of people who share what they have with people around the world, and create millions of micro-entrepreneurs in the process. Our second goal is to over unreasonable barriers to the first - mostly legislative and attitudinal.

Best, Marc All eyes on the sharing economy Collaborative consumption: Technology makes it easier for people to rent items to each other. But as it grows, the �sharing economy� is hitting roadblocks Mar 9th 2013 From the print edition WHY pay through the nose for something when you can rent it more cheaply from a stranger online? That is the principle behind a range of online services that enable people to share cars, accommodation, bicycles, household appliances and other items, connecting owners of underused assets with others willing to pay to use them. Dozens of firms such as Airbnb, which lets people rent out their spare rooms, or RelayRides, which allows other people to rent your car, act as matchmakers, allocating resources where they are needed and taking a small cut in return. Such peer-to-peer rental schemes provide handy extra income for owners and can be less costly and more convenient for borrowers. Occasional renting is cheaper than buying something outright or renting from a traditional provider such as a hotel or car-rental firm. The internet makes it cheaper and easier than ever to aggregate supply and demand. Smartphones with maps and satellite positioning can find a nearby room to rent or car to borrow. Online social networks and recommendation systems help establish trust; internet payment systems can handle the billing. All this lets millions of total strangers rent things to each other. The result is known variously as �collaborative consumption�, the �asset-light lifestyle�, the �collaborative economy�, �peer economy�, �access economy� or �sharing economy�. It is surely no coincidence that many peer-to-peer rental firms were founded between 2008 and 2010, in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Some see sharing, with its mantra that �access trumps ownership�, as a post-crisis antidote to materialism and overconsumption. It may also have environmental benefits, by making more efficient use of resources. But whatever the motivation, the trend is clear. �People are looking to buy services discretely when they need them, instead of owning an asset,� says Jeff Miller, the boss of Wheelz, a peer-to-peer car-rental service that operates in California. As they become more numerous and more popular, however, sharing services have started to run up against snags. There are questions around insurance and legal liability. Some services are falling foul of industry-specific regulations. Landlords are clamping down on tenants who sublet their properties in violation of the terms of their leases. Tax collectors are asking whether all the income from sharing schemes is being declared. Meanwhile, the big boys are moving in, as large companies that face disruption from sharing schemes start to embrace the model themselves. As the sharing economy expands, it is experiencing growing pains. By far the most prominent sharing services are those based around accommodation and cars. The best-known example is Airbnb, based in San Francisco, which has helped 4m people find places to stay since it was founded in 2008�2.5m of them during 2012 alone. People can list anything from a spare bed to an entire mansion on the site, setting rental rates and specifying house rules (such as no smoking or pets). Anyone looking for somewhere to stay in a particular city can enter their dates and browse matching offers from Airbnb�s 300,000 listings in 192 countries; Airbnb takes a cut of 9-15% of the rental fee. Others offering similar services include Roomorama, Wimdu and BedyCasa. Car-sharing schemes divide into peer-to-peer car-rental services in which you pay to borrow someone else�s car (Buzzcar, Getaround, RelayRides, Tamyca, Wheelz, WhipCar) and taxilike services (Lyft, SideCar, Uber, Weeels) in which people use their cars to ferry paying passengers. Some peer-rental schemes focus on particular types of customer, such as students, or particular types of vehicle, such as high-performance cars. Peer-to-peer taxi services use location-aware smartphone apps, coupled with a central dispatcher, to bring drivers and passengers together. Variations on these models include DogVacay and Rover, both of which are dog-kennel services (like Airbnb for dogs), and Boatbound, which offers short-term, peer-to-peer boat rental. There are also peer-rental sites for car-parking spaces (Airbnb for cars, in effect), bicycles, photographic kit, musical instruments, garden equipment, outdoor gear, kitchen appliances, and so on. These sites generally start off serving a particular city or region, as Airbnb did in San Francisco. But the more successful ones have expanded to cover multiple cities and entire countries. All these services rely on ratings and reciprocal reviews to build trust among their users. Staying in a stranger�s apartment in another city seems much less daunting when you can read testimonials from previous guests. Similarly, before welcoming strangers into your home it is reassuring to read reviews from other hosts they have stayed with. Many platforms also carry out background checks, looking into their users� driving and credit histories and checking for criminal records. In addition, some peer-rental services (including Airbnb, RelayRides and Lyft) integrate with Facebook to let owners and renters check to see whether they have friends (or friends of friends) in common. �The idea of renting from a person rather than a faceless company will survive, even if the early idealism of the sharing economy does not� �We couldn�t have existed ten years ago, before Facebook, because people weren�t really into sharing,� says Nate Blecharczyk, one of Airbnb�s founders. Airbnb doesn�t require its users to connect their accounts to Facebook, but when people find they have friends in common with another user it sets their minds at ease. Thanks to social media, says David Lee, founder and managing partner of SV Angels, an early investor in Airbnb, �people are generally more comfortable meeting new people using technology.� Providing a secure platform for financial transactions is vital, he says, but creating a trusting community is just as important when it comes to attracting users. Shelby Clark, the founder of RelayRides, says his company checks its users� driving records for major violations, but relies on user reviews when it comes to assessing the cleanliness of both cars and drivers. Such systems, he says, tend to create norms that keep owners and renters in line, because they fear the repercussions of bad reviews: other people on the site will be less willing to do business with them, and they may be kicked out altogether. Travis Kalanick, the boss of Uber, a service that matches up drivers with passengers, says the review system means drivers with poor ratings don�t last long, while passengers who behave badly find it hard to get a ride. Most systems don�t provide immediate confirmation when one user applies to rent something from another, allowing the provider to decide whether to proceed or not, based on the applicant�s ratings, reviews or other factors. Being turned down can lead to hard feelings, but there is usually no opportunity to complain, because only people who actually engage in a transaction can review each other. Another characteristic of such services is that users or listings with plenty of reviews will be sought after, whereas those with no reviews look less attractive. Mr Blecharczyk says Airbnb recommends that first-time listers set their prices �less aggressively� to encourage renters who might avoid a place without a review. As soon as one review appears, he says, inquiries can increase tenfold, and listers can raise their prices. Growing pains For the most part this self-policing approach works well. But occasionally things can and do go wrong, which has forced peer-rental sites to take steps to protect themselves and their users. Airbnb suffered a rash of bad publicity in mid-2011 when a host found her apartment trashed and her valuables stolen after a rental. After some public-relations missteps, Airbnb eventually agreed to cover her expenses, and added a $50,000 guarantee for hosts against property and furniture damage. That was increased to $1m in May 2012 with the backing of Lloyd�s, an insurance marketplace. Airbnb also improved its site to allow hosts and guests to find out more about each other in advance. Peer-to-peer car-rental services also provide insurance as part of the deal. Mr Clark says it took RelayRides 18 months to find an underwriter for the $1m policy that backs each driver during rentals. (Much of the 40% commission RelayRides takes on each rental goes towards insurance.) But the question of whether a car-owner�s insurer is liable in the event of an accident remains untested. Three states (California, Oregon and Washington) have passed laws relating to car-sharing, placing liability squarely on the shoulders of the car-sharing service and its own insurers, just as if it owned the car during the rental period. The laws also prohibit insurers from cancelling owners� policies. One insurer, GEICO, rewrote its policies in 2012 to withdraw accident coverage for cars that have been rented to others in states that permit it. A fatal accident involving a RelayRides driver in Boston in 2012 may test the limits of existing policies in Massachusetts. Insurance is just one example of how peer-rental services are running into regulatory barriers. In many cases they also find themselves in conflict with the complex rules that govern some industries. In an effort to avoid such difficulties Lyft, SideCar and other peer-to-peer taxi services do not set a price for a given journey and do not handle billing. Instead, passengers are prompted to give drivers a voluntary �donation� of a particular amount�and they know that failure to do so will lead to negative reviews, making it difficult to find a ride in future. But regulators are unimpressed. In November 2012 the California Public Utilities Commission issued $20,000 fines against Lyft, SideCar and Uber for �operating as passenger carriers without evidence of public liability and property damage insurance coverage� and �engaging employee-drivers without evidence of workers� compensation insurance�. All three firms appealed against the fines, arguing that outdated regulations should not be applied to peer-rental services. In January the city of San Francisco agreed to allow Lyft and Uber to continue operating while it devises new rules, due by July. Uber has also won permission to operate its service in Washington, DC. But in many other cities it faces bans, fines and court battles. It is not just car-sharing services that have run into legal problems. So have apartment-sharing services, which have fallen foul of zoning regulations and other rules governing temporary rentals in which the property owner or occupier are not present. Many American cities ban rentals of less than 30 days in properties that have not been licensed and inspected. Some Airbnb renters have been served with eviction notices by landlords for renting their apartments in violation of their leases. In Amsterdam, city officials point out that anyone letting a room or apartment is required to have a permit and to obey other rules. They have used Airbnb�s website to track down illegal rentals. Officials in San Francisco have raised similar red flags. The city�s treasurer ruled in April 2012 that Airbnb and other similar sites were not exempt from the city�s 15% hotel tax. Airbnb responded that the regulations, dating back to 1961, should not apply to internet-era business models. The city�s mayor, Ed Lee, has championed the notion of the �sharing economy� as a means to stimulate economic growth. City officials have promised to work out a regulatory and tax framework, but for the time being Airbnb and other such services remain in a legal grey area. In New York, meanwhile, a landlord faces fines of as much as $30,000 after one of his tenants sub-let his room in an East Village apartment via Airbnb while going out of town for a few days in September 2012. (A law passed in 2010 does not allow the renting out of homes or rooms in them for less than a month unless the usual occupant is also resident at the time.) Having previously taken the position that it is up to hosts to ensure that they are complying with local laws and taxes, Airbnb has recently shifted its stance in response to a growing regulatory backlash. In October 2012 it appointed David Hantman, previously the head of government relations at Yahoo, as its head of public policy. He says Airbnb is now working with governments around the world �to clarify and even change� the patchwork of laws that apply to its hosts. �The more policymakers and neighbours learn about our service, and the better they understand it, the more they realise that this activity should not be prohibited,� he adds. Here come the big boys Meanwhile, the peer-rental model has been endorsed, at least in the field of car-sharing, by incumbent carmakers and rental firms. GM Ventures, the investment arm of America�s biggest carmaker, was among the investors who put $13m into RelayRides in 2011. ZipCar, a pay-bythe-hour car-rental firm that maintains its own fleet of vehicles, led a $14m investment in Wheelz, a peer-rental firm, in 2012. ZipCar was in turn acquired by Avis, a conventional car-rental firm, in January 2013 for $491m, giving Avis a stake in Wheelz. As well as being a vote of confidence in the peer-rental model, investments by incumbent firms highlight the fact that it can make sense for them to work closely with these upstart rivals. After the GM Ventures investment, for example, RelayRides was given privileged access to GM�s OnStar navigation system, which is installed in 6m American cars. The sign-up process for RelayRides has been streamlined for OnStar users, and OnStar-equipped cars can be locked and unlocked by renters using an app, so there is no need to meet to hand over keys. GM hopes this will encourage more car-owners to sign up for its OnStar service in the hope of making some extra money on the side�an average of $715 a month, according to RelayRides. For Avis, meanwhile, owning ZipCar and a stake in Wheelz gives it exposure to a new model that threatens to upend its business. What looks like a disruptive new model will probably end up being mixed into existing models and embraced by incumbents, as has often happened before. Tim O�Reilly of O�Reilly Media, a long-term watcher of internet trends, says such consolidation is inevitable. �When new markets come in, they often look more democratising than they end up becoming,� he says. The idea of renting from a person rather than a faceless company will survive, even if the early idealism of the sharing economy does not. The fact that regulators, tax collectors and big companies are now sniffing around a model that has been embraced by millions of people is a measure of its value and growth potential. -Marc Andreessen pmarca@a16z.com From: Diaz, Evelyn Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 10:06 AM To: Negron, Michael Subject: Fwd: What he said...

The Payton of city colleges. A complement to the smart career focus you have already injected. Students would attend for two years, earn associates degree, then transfer to 4 year institutions effectively dropping the cost of a college degree by 25-30%. Best case it would have charter status or be privately operated - making it tenure and union free; it would serve as a locus for testing new models of teaching and learning (digital media, apprenticeships etc) and; it would be designed for national replication from outset. Ideally, city would build it next to the Obama library - a manifestation of the president's call to dramatically increase the number of Americans finishing college, a national model and an academic crown jewel for the city college system. Next step would be to identify a biz consulting team to work confidentially with Beth, perhaps Ellen Alberding, me and whoever else would keep an open mind - then share a plan with you.

I will try to be brief. A friend of ours, Laren Ukman is the CEO of a company called IEG. They are a premier sport and entertainment marketing company based in Chicago. (IEG was purchased by a huge international advertising conglomerate called WPP ($16.5 billion in revenues; $70.5 billion in billings) Anyway, once a year IEG does a big 3-day sponsorship marketing conference with over 1200 attendees. This year the conference is in Chicago at the downtown Sheraton, starting on Monday March 24th. (in a couple of weeks). They put in a formal request for a mayor appearance (see attached) a while ago and have not heard back yet. They would love it if you came by and said a few opening remarks to kickoff their conference. Since there will be over 300 international attendees I thought it might be a strategic opportunity to promote Chicago, which I know you have been doing a hell of a lot of this week. Anyway, I hope you will consider it; definitely don't do is a favor to me, but only if it makes sense for you. Let me know if you need more info or if I should contact someone on your staff. Antonia and I are off to Hawaii for a week starting on Saturday. Looking forward to connecting when we get back.

This year, The Weekend will take place from Thursday evening, September 18 through Sunday morning, September 21. We are bringing together a very select group of leaders from the worlds of business, politics, media, finance, technology, sports, science, medicine, and the arts for a stimulating weekend of thought-provoking conversations and activities. Weekend with Charlie Rose will begin with an opening dinner on Thursday, followed by two days of discussions, led by Charlie, on a number of pressing global issues and ideas with some of the most sought after voices of our time. Each afternoon, we have interactive seminars in health and wellness, cooking as well as a myriad of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, fly-fishing, golf and tennis – all led by renowned experts and world-class athletes. Rahm, this is not your typical conference or retreat. For starters, there is no agenda other than bringing together some of the brightest and most fascinating minds to spark your intellectual curiosity and meet and engage with an equally compelling group of attendees. By the end of the Weekend with Charlie Rose, we hope you leave a bit smarter, having made a few interesting new friends, and having had a really good time. We would be delighted if you and Amy were able to join us. If you have any questions or would like to RSVP please feel free to contact Margot McGinness, who organizes The Weekend, at margot@thinkbigllc.com or (646) 344-4110. We have invited a very select group of attendees, so please let us know at your earliest convenience if you are able to join us. On behalf of all of our co-hosts, we hope to see you in Aspen this fall.

Worth considering hosting an event in the Redmoon space when you bring in the VC community before Lollapalooza. Regarding SXSW, a few thoughts: - I loved the fact that we did it and that you attended. Make it an annual commitment, and having you there is a big deal. I have long believed it is the premier event in the digital world, I hosted over 100 of my folks and 75 clients during the conference this year. - I'll be interested in the feedback and results from the booth on the Exhibit Floor. If we repeat that element, I'd suggest a tighter message and a hipper looking display. If the goal is to attract entrepreneurs to Chicago, I think we need a clear, compelling message -- assume most folks stroll by without engaging and need to get it at a glance. I'm thinking that message is about talent (abundant, affordable and eager) and community (supportive, welcoming and successful). Other attributes (access to capital, infrastructure, taxes, etc) are not superior to east/west coast options. - I'd repeat the general session with you on a panel and continue to focus on successful entrepreneurs who live here, but focus more on engineers/computer scientists who have done successful exits and who have credibility with the audience. I'm thinking like Dag Kittlaus and his Siri story. Or Matt Maloney (GrubHub) who is a software engineer. I would emphasize our engineering strength to overcome the (accurate) perception that we are relatively weak in that area. - I have long been skeptical of nighttime music events at SXSW that draw young hipsters who forget the party host and just come for music/food/beer. Instead, I'd organize a smaller, more selective event in the evening featuring a mix of Chicagoans that will draw interesting attendees and allow for one-on-one conversations. I'd highlight a few bold name Chicagoans as the draws (eg, celebrities who invest in tech, media personalities with Chicago roots like Bob Pittman of Clear Channel, maybe a sports icon or two who have connections to tech start-ups. These names draw. I'd serve food from respected and innovative Chicago chefs. Ideally get Grant Achatz to attend as he is a chef/entrepreneur who has embraced technology in his business (the online ticketing system at Next has revolutionized the industry). - Relocate 1871 to Austin for 4 days (1871xSXSW). Set it up in a small space near the Convention Center. Offer to fly 10 start-up founders to Austin from 1871 as Ambassadors. Have them interview other start-ups over two days and award 3 of them 1871 space, make the announcement at the party. - Announce the Start-Up of the Year at the party, select from among the 1871 businesses. - You personally invite every major tech leader across the country to follow/tweet about all of the city's activities during the conference using a designated hashtag (eg #CHISXSW or #1871SXSW). I can see folks like Marc Andreesen supporting us in this way without having to attend. You know Chicagoans are loyal to the city, this gives them an easy way to show their support for our efforts. Hope this is helpful. You know I am passionate about this space and our city and am here to help. Best Tony Weisman CEO, North America 180 N.

As for the 606, I am in touch with Beth White on how we can work together, we are scheduling a call this week. As for the Biennial, when I last met with Michelle Boone, she stated that they were in the basic planning stages and would connect with me when they had their committees in place and how we can connect on various partnership opportunities, including providing some human resources for the project.

We first met when I ran against John Culberson in TX 7 in 2008. When we saw each other last May, you pushed us to open an office in Chicago. As you may remember, we are working on developing a long distance direct current transmission line that will deliver about 3,500 megawatts of wind generation from northwest Iowa directly to a substation near Morris, IL. This is enough energy for well over a million homes. I am happy to inform you that that we have recently opened our doors across the street from you at 100 N. LaSalle, in the suite on the 26th floor.

Senior Policy Advisor for Nutrition Policy The White House 1600 Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr ass: gain/1 As Mayor, and on behalf of the City of Chicago, I write to ask for your participation as a Celebrity Chef du our at this year?s Taste of Chicago, which will be held July 9-13, 2014 in the historic Grant Park the site of President Obama?s ?rst election night celebration. As a native Chicagoan, you know that the Taste of Chicago is one of our nation?s most famous outdoor food festivals. In fact, the Taste is credited with beginning the phenomenon of outdoor food events. For more than 30 years, the City of Chicago has presented the event, showcasing the very best in local cuisine and attracting millions of visitors annually. Over the last two years, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE) has worked to incorporate new features at the Taste that highlight Chicago?s emerging restaurants and innovative chefs while still maintaining its storied lineup of iconic food favorites. One of the most successful new additions is the Celebrity Chef du our Tent. The Celebrity Chef du our program teams renowned Chicago culinary stars with the students of the venerable Washburn Culinary Institute to prepare a prix-fix, three-course meal that is served to an intimate audience of 160 diners in a beautifully decorated, air-conditioned tent on Buckingham Fountain Plaza. Past participating chefs include Rick Bayless, Paul Kahan, Stephanie Izard, Graham Elliot, Tony Mantuano, and Giuseppe Tentori. This is a rare opportunity for Chicagoans and tourists alike to enjoy a dinner prepared by a master chef at an affordable price of $40-$45. As a participant in the Chef du our program, we would ask that you create a menu and prepare a three-course dinner as well as lead a cooking demonstration of one of your favorite menu items for the general public. The total time commitment would be approximately six hours on-site at Taste on the featured day. We Chicagoans take great pride in our city?s multiple connections to the White House yourself included and an opportunity to dine on a meal prepared by you would provide a unique opportunity for ?insider? access, and highlight Chicago?s ability to create culinary success stories. This is also the perfect occasion to showcase the First Lady?s campaign to integrate healthy eating into our lives. Over the last several years, the Taste of Chicago has introduced several successful initiatives that encourage healthy eating by showcasing healthy menu items throughout the event, and featuring chef demos and exercises for children at a Healthy Kids Day in our Family Village. We know the menu you would create for the Chef du our event would be re?ective of these initiatives and would bring healthy eating at the Taste to a new level. We hope you will consider this opportunity to share your culinary achievements and your commitment to raising a healthier generation of kids during the Taste of Chicago. For more information, or should you have any questions, please contact Ann Hickey, Director of Program Development for DCASE, directly at 312?744?4306 or via email at ahickey@citvofchicagoorg. Thank you very much for your consideration and for the important work that you do.

We have since connected with Mike Faulman, Meghan Harte and Patricia Taylor with the Chicago Public Schools as well. Specifically, we are seeking a May/June date to have our CEO, James Gorman, come to Chicago to announce a new initiative called Morgan Stanley Healthy Chicago with the Mayor. The announcement will be around our new program to deliver health programming for children within two Chicago public schools that will integrate health education and screenings, sustained access to fresh produce and safe places to play and exercise. The program will also build two new playgrounds on public school properties – to complement the Mayor’s existing commitment to other public spaces. I have attached a very brief draft write up of what we are hoping to accomplish in the city. Please note that we haven’t yet shared this write up with the Mayor’s communication team. In addition to the Mayor and James Gorman, we would invite the CEOs of KaBOOM and Feeding America, our national partners on the project. Once we can narrow down a date, it would make sense to me to have our press people speak to each other about the run of show. There is considerable flexibility on that front, but I wouldn’t want to guess until the Mayor’s press corps is involved. What else can I tell you?

Both Erskine and I are looking forward to hosting a fundraiser for you in June-our teams are working together on finding a date and place for this as I write. Given your broad support base, the only challenge will be to find some who haven't already maxed out! Also, as we discussed, hopefully, you can play a role in our second "Global Summit for the Closely Held" in Chicago Monday evening Sept. 15- lunch on Wed. Sept 17th..We already have 149 confirmed business owners/leaders attending. Ultimately, we expect approximately 250 in total with approximately 25% from international locales. This will be a good showcase for Chicago! As I mentioned, BDT has just hired our first Chief Network Officer, and I am hoping that she can own some of these larger initiatives that involve your office. To that end, could you please connect her with your chief of staff or someone else who is seated at a similarly senior level and with good access to you? I have cc'd her on this for you to pass along for appropriate connection with your office. Elizabeth Baker Keffer joined BDT & Company last month as Managing Director and Chief Network Officer, coming to us after 14 years at Atlantic Media Company, where she was Publisher, then President of The Atlantic's events division, AtlanticLIVE. She managed The Atlantic/Aspen Institute Aspen Ideas Festival, Washington Ideas Forum and CityLab, among other programs, and I think had occasions to interact with you across the years. Elizabeth's role is new to BDT & Company-an executive posting leading our Network team. As you know, our firm's model is entirely focused on family-owned and entrepreneurially-led businesses-a "network" that we have seen grow to ~150 companies/families as of 2014. Her mandate is to take us to the next level in convening our Roundtables and Global Summit-and to look for other ways that we can serve client needs in a valuable and differentiated way.

As you remember, Steve Crown and I are co-chairing a fundraising and exposure event for Habitat for Humanity. We will be building sections of several houses on the plaza on Michigan Avenue where the Marilyn Monroe statue was a few years ago. The kickoff will be at noon on May 29th. Matt Johnson, the Chicago leader for H4H has contacted the Mayor's office, but has not received a confirmation yet that Rahm can be there for the kickoff. If that time does not work for him, we will be building almost around the clock the entire weekend. There will be great media coverage as you can imagine. We'd love the Mayor to help us kick this off or come pound nails with us anytime he can. I will be working all afternoon on the 29th and again on Sunday, June 1st.

How about Chicago bold? Burnham Plan – Chicago bold. Wildly successful summer learning after your nanosecond of notice – Chicago bold. Skyscrapers – Chicago bold. Disruptive innovation, like catalog retailing, the birth control pill, atomic energy – Chicago bold. Tech incubator, start up city (when we all know California supposedly has a monopoly) – Chicago bold. Reversing the river – Chicago bold. Thinking of reversing it again – Chicago crazy bold. Jane Addams, Michael Jordan – Chicago bold. Recovery from the fire – Chicago bold. A world’s fair 20 year later – Chicago double bold. It’s in our DNA. That’s why other people think we’re obnoxious. Our self-image is too bold, but they’re wrong and we’re right. What we need to get out of our problems – Chicago bold. The boulevard system – Chicago bold. Millennium Park – Chicago bold. The cultural plan – Chicago bold. It goes on and on. Our Chief Historian, Russell Lewis came up with this. We’d love to start using it. What do you think?

Kara Bachman Executive Director, Chicago Sports Commission 72 East Randolph Street Chicago, IL 60603 Sent by email only to: kbachman@chicagosportscommission.com July 8, 2014 Dear Kara, 35TH AMERICA’S CUP I write further to our telephone conversation yesterday with an update on the venue selection process for the 35 th America’s Cup (AC35). As previously advised, and given the tight timeline and demands from prospective teams to confirm the final venue, it has been necessary to continue to reduce th e shortlist of candidate cities to host AC35. We have been very impressed with the efforts of the Chicago community coming together to support your bid. All of our team has been very impressed by the proposed venue locations, the professionalism of your local bid team and the level of support that has been generated in Chicago in the limited time available. I think it is fair to say that many eyes have been opened to the significant possibilities for the America’s Cup in Chicago in the future, both in the short term and in the longer term. While we have had to make the difficult decision to no longer consider Chicago to host the AC35 finals, we would be pleased to discuss with you the opportunity for Chicago to host up to two America’s Cup World Series events in 2015 and/or 2016 on favorable terms. We believe that this will illustrate to you how serious we are to build on the positive discussions to date, to reinforce to the world that Chicago is not only a world class city but a leading destination for stadium sailing, and to develop further momentum in support of a possible hosting of the 36th America’s Cup in Chicago should ORACLE TEAM USA be successful in its defense of AC35 in 2017. We hope to continue working closely with your team at the Chicago Sports Commission, World Business Chicago and the Chicago Match Race Center to that end.

The Section 108 program a very low interest loan program with a 20 year amortization with the primary goal to spur job growth by loans that will help create jobs for low and moderate income persons. There are some other goals but if we can show job creation we can make this loan program work. The City administers the Section 108 program with HUD approval. Last week I meet with Ray Willis, Director of Community Planning and Development at HUD. He encourage me to apply for my loan which I will do. He also suggested that the City should apply for a pool of funds ( 50 to 300 million) that can be lent at their discretion rather than project to project. He is working with other cities in the Region to do exactly that. He told me there are bills in Congress that will substantially increase the fees for loans in this program and we should apply asap. One of my partners recently did a 15 million Section 108 loan with the City and said it was painful and slow working with the city(not to be repeated). Ray also mentioned that the people familiar with the HUD programs have left the City (before you came in). Ray said he would like to meet with World Business( Michael Sachs?) or someone with a broader vision. I will arrange that meeting.

Thanks much Barbara Crain’s Letter to the Editor Submitted By: Women’s Business Development Center Emilia DiMenco, President and Hedy Ratner, President Emeritus Monday, August 6, 2014 As representatives of small business, and in particular women and minority-owned businesses, we would like to voice our support of the actions being taken by the President of the United States, the Governor of the State of Illinois, and the Mayor of the City of Chicago to raise the minimum wage. Although some opponents say that a minimum wage hike will cause job loss and reduced hours, as well as impede hiring, especially for small businesses, recent studies suggest that there is little evidence to show related job loss or reduced hours. Lifting the minimum wage to a level that can support a family and expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit are viable and appropriate alternatives for addressing one of the major issues adversely impacting our most vulnerable, as well as our City, State, and Country. 58% of working women are making less than $10 per hour. 2/3rds of all workers depending on tips for income are women. A proposal supported by women as well as progressive public officials involves having tipped workers make 70% of the applicable minimum wage rate based on the size of the employer. Did you know that today's minimum wage is worth 23% less than it did in 1968? If the minimum wage had kept up with inflation from 1968 to today, the minimum wage would be $25.00. 22% of Chicagoans today live below the poverty level. While there will be an economic adjustment period for employers and employees, this will elevate the standard of living in our community. When that happens, everyone in the community, businesses as well as families, will benefit. There will be less hardship on families and more money re-invested in the businesses that serve our community. In the end, we all win when we live in a more prosperous City, State, and Country. For these reasons, we in the women’s and minority business community support increasing both the minimum wage and wages for employees depending on tips.

I have been asked to extend an invitation to you to kick off the conference of the nation’s top editors and news leaders. The welcome session is at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 15 at the Hyatt Regency. The group would like you to speak for about 15 minutes. Here’s a little background: · This conference is a joint program between the American Society of News Editors and the Associated Press Media Editors. Together, the two are considered the premier news leadership organizations in America and among the most influential. · ASNE’s emphasis is on issues related to the First Amendment, diversity, leadership and innovation, ethics and credibility, and media literacy. APME also brings together senior editors of news organizations, journalism educators and foundations that support journalism. Its emphasis includes a national network to train and develop editors. It is closely aligned with the Associated Press, the world’s largest news gathering organization. · Members of the planning team asked to invite the mayor because his appearance would be both informative and stimulating. These news executives are keenly aware of Chicago’s prominence as one of the nation’s great cities. I know your time is at a premium given the demands of your position. We believe your presence would make for a great start to the conference. Likely, there will be about 500 media executives – all at very high leadership and decision-making levels in their newsrooms or organizations.

A MACHINERY MOVERS RIGG - MEDIA ADVISORY FOR WEDNESDAY, 1 OCTOBER 2014 CONTACT: Mary Kay Marquisos, 312-791-6237, mmarquisos@mpea.com Coach house raised from its foundation, moves on October 1 in preview of dramatic relocation of Chicago landmark Rees House Coach house and historic limestone residence to move as part of preservation effort WHAT: The three-story Harriet Rees House and its two-story coach house on the 2100 block of South Prairie Avenue moving one city block (400 feet) to 2017 S. Prairie Ave. Currently, the coach house has been lifted from its foundation and loaded onto massive dollies in preparation for this move. The coach house weighs 187 tons (374,000 pounds), and will be wheeled down Prairie Avenue to its new location. The coach house relocation—the first of two moves—provides an opportunity to see close-up what it will take to accomplish the highly anticipated move of the main house in early November. At almost three times longer, three times taller, and four times heavier than the coach house, the Rees House will be one of heaviest residential buildings ever moved in the United States. Built in 1888, the Rees House is a cornerstone of the Prairie Avenue Historic District, a grouping of late 19th century mansions built in this neighborhood by prominent Chicagoans including George Pullman and Marshall Field. The house and its accompanying coach house are being relocated to make way for the McCormick Place Entertainment District, which will include a 10,000-seat event center and a 1,200-room Marriott Marquis Headquarter hotel. This move is part of Mayor Emanuel’s “Elevate Chicago” initiative, and the City of Chicago Commission on Chicago Landmarks has approved MPEA’s relocation of the Rees House. The move and restoration are being coordinated by Chicago contractor Bulley & Andrews. Thornton Tomasetti is the engineering firm and Wolfe House & Building Movers is the mover. WHEN and WHERE: • • 8am to 4pm, Wednesday, 1 October 2014 (Optimal viewing of the coach house move will occur between 8:00am and 12:00pm) o 7:00am-7:30am: Construction crew members clear and prepare the street; security personnel secure the corners of Prairie and 21st and Prairie and Cullerton. o 8am: Mounted on six automated dollies, the coach house begins moving slowly down Prairie Avenue. o 12:30pm-4pm: The coach house reaches its final site and is positioned over its new slab foundation. The move will start at 2110 S. Prairie Avenue and end at 2017 S. Prairie Avenue. WHO : • MPEA spokesperson • Construction Manager: Bulley & Andrews (Chicago) • Engineer: Thornton Tomasetti (Chicago) • Mover: Wolfe House & Building Movers (North Manchester, Ind.) MEDIA PARKING: Please check in with security at the intersection of Prairie Avenue and Cermak Road. Parking available at the Northeast corner of Prairie Avenue and Cermak Road. *** About the Harriet Rees House: The Rees House was built in 1888 for Harriet Rees, the widow of James H. Rees, a real-estate innovator who drafted one of the early maps of Chicago. The limestone house is three stories tall plus a basement and attic, and includes a two-story brick coach house. The Rees House was part of the establishment of Upper Prairie Avenue. After the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, pivotal Chicago figures including George Pullman, Philip D. Armour and Marshall Field built mansions on Prairie Avenue, considering it to be a safe distance from the city. In 1910 the Rees House was sold and became a boarding house under several different owners. In 1970 it was converted into a restaurant, the Prairie House Café and in 2001, the house was sold to its current private owners.

Photo: Kalloon Photography OPENING CEREMONY On September 12, 2014 the Right Honorable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, and His Highness the Aga Khan formally opened the Ismaili Centre Toronto and Aga Khan Museum. These projects, which are initiatives of His Highness the Aga Khan, the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims and founder and Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network, are intended to foster knowledge and understanding both within Muslim societies and between these societies and other cultures. His Highness the Aga Khan and Prime Minister Stephen Harper unveil a plaque commemorating the opening of the Ismaili Center, Toronto. GARY OTTE These spaces “will be filled with sounds of enrichment, dialogue and warm human rapport, as Ismailis and non-Ismailis share their lives in a healthy gregarious spirit," remarked the Aga Khan during the ceremony. Prime Minister Harper commented that the site will be “a source of inspiration, spiritual renewal and cultural awareness,” not only for Torontonians, but for all visitors. The Prime Minister paid a special tribute to the Aga Khan’s vision of Islam, which “stresses its social traditions of peace, tolerance and pluralism." Following the ceremony, Prime Minister Harper and His Highness the Aga Khan, as well as Prince Amyn Aga Khan, Vice-Chair of the Museum’s Board of Directors, and the Honorable Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, officiated over the opening ceremony of the Aga Khan Museum. “I believe strongly that art and culture can have a profound impact in healing misunderstanding and in fostering trust even across great divides," said Prince Amyn. “This is the extraordinary purpose, the special mandate, to which this Museum is dedicated. In its role to reveal and to 2 stimulate dialogue between different cultures, the Aga Khan Museum will continue a long history of cultural sharing between Islam and the West.” The Aga Khan Museum is the first museum in North America dedicated to the arts of Muslim civilizations. Through its Permanent Collection, performing arts and educational programs and roster of temporary exhibitions, it will welcome the full spectrum of public engagement and serve as a vibrant educational institution. It is dedicated to presenting an overview of the artistic, intellectual, and scientific contributions that Muslim civilizations have made to world heritage. Housed in a unique building designed by Pritzker Laureate Fumihiko Maki, the Museum's Permanent Collection of over 1,000 objects includes masterpieces that reflect a broad range of artistic styles and materials. These portraits, textiles, manuscripts, manuscript paintings, ceramics, tiles, medical texts, books and musical instruments represent more than ten centuries of human history and a geographic area stretching from the Iberian Peninsula to China. The Museum shares a 6.8-hectare (17-acre) site with Toronto’s Ismaili Centre, which was designed by architect Charles Correa. The surrounding landscaped park, designed by landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic, will provide an exciting new green space for the city of Toronto. Along with other Ismaili Centres located in Vancouver, London, Lisbon, Dubai and Dushanbe, the Ismaili Centre, Toronto continues a tradition of hosting programs that stimulate the intellect, encourage dialogue, and celebrate cultural diversity. Through programmes ranging from lectures, seminars and exhibitions, to cultural and social events, the Centre creates an understanding of the values, ethics, culture and heritage of Ismaili Muslims, and of the work of the Aga Khan Development Network. The Ismaili Centre includes a place of prayer (Jamatkhana) for the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslim community as well as spaces for social, educational and cultural activities. Spirit, Art, Nature “Together, these three projects will symbolise the harmonious integration of the spiritual, the artistic and the natural worlds – in keeping with the holistic ideal which is an intimate part of Islamic tradition. At the same time they will also express a profound commitment to inter-cultural engagement, and international cooperation.” His Highness the Aga Khan - Foundation Ceremony of the Aga Khan Museum, Ismaili Center and the park, May 28th, 2010. 3 ARCHITECTURE “The new Toronto Museum will take as its theme the concept of light – suffusing the building from a central courtyard, through patterned glass screens. From the outside, it will glow by day and by night, lit by the sun and the moon. This use of light speaks to us of the Divine Light of the Creator, reflected in the glow of individual human inspiration and vibrant, transparent community.” His Highness the Aga Khan - Foundation Ceremony of the Aga Khan Museum, Ismaili Center and the park, May 28th, 2010. Courtyard through which sunlight and moonlight filters through mashrabiya patterns etched in the glass. - Photo: AKDN / Gary Otte In designing the Aga Khan Museum, Fumihiko Maki, winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, used light as his inspiration. He ensured not only that light is ever-present in the building, but that, depending on the time of day or season, light will animate the building in myriad ways: throwing patterns on the exterior walls of Brazilian granite, enhancing interior spaces, or illuminating the open-roofed courtyard. The building’s compact footprint — 81 metres long and 54 metres wide — contains an impressive variety of spaces, including two exhibition galleries, areas for art conservation and storage, a 350-seat theatre, and two classrooms. Within an unmistakably contemporary design, Maki incorporates historical elements originating in Islamic cultures, building bridges between eras as well as civilizations. 4 The entrance to the Aga Khan Museum as seen across on of the reflecting pools that form the shape of a traditional char-bagh, or four-part, garden. - Photo: AKDN / Gary Otte Natural light enhancing the stairwell. Photo: Tom Arban 5 Across from the Museum is the Ismaili Centre Toronto, designed by renowned architect Charles Correa. The Centre incorporates spaces for social and cultural gatherings, intellectual engagement and for spiritual reflection. Its crystalline frosted glass dome roof, which marks the highest point of the 6.8-hectare site, is mirrored in the five granite-lined pools of the formal gardens — designed by landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic — which are part of a landscaped park. The Aga Khan Park connects the Centre with the Museum and provides a place equally suited to tranquil reflection and dynamic programming. Visible from the Don Valley Parkway, the crystalline frosted glass dome of the Ismaili Centre Jamatkhana radiates light at night from the highest point of the site. GARY OTTE The most striking feature of the Ismaili Centre is undoubtedly the prayer hall, with its crystalline frosted glass dome and elegant steel trusses. The Centre is a complex of varied spaces for contemplative, cultural, educational and recreational purposes. Its design draws upon the traditions of Islamic architecture and incorporates these in a contemporary Canadian context, reflecting the Ismaili community’s permanent presence in Canada as well as its desire to welcome others in an exchange of cultures and ideas. The Centre’s exterior and the surrounding Park reflect these notions in their terraces, gardens and reflecting pools, presenting a serene space that is both modern and timeless. 6 AGA KHAN MUSEUM TO BE A BEACON OF ENLIGHTENMENT ACROSS CIVILIZATIONS www.agakhanmuseum.org/learn/adults The Museum’s focus on the arts of Islam will make it a unique institution in North America, contributing to a better understanding of Islamic civilizations — and especially of the plurality within Islam and of Islam’s relationship to other traditions. It will be a place for sharing a story, through art and artifacts, of highly diverse achievements — going back over 1 400 years. “The Aga Khan Museum has an international outlook,” observes Henry Kim, Director of the Museum. “Home to a collection of astonishingly beautiful works of art, it will showcase the artistic creativity and achievements of Muslim civilizations from Spain to China. I think local and international visitors will be greatly surprised when they discover just how much the arts of Muslim civilizations are a part of our shared global cultural heritage.” Since 2007, over 1 million people have experienced the splendor of the Aga Khan Museum Collection. The Musée du Louvre in Paris, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon, the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin, the Sakıp Sabancı Museum in Istanbul, the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur and the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore have all hosted temporary exhibitions of major works of art from the Aga Khan Museum Collection. A Vibrant Educational Institution The Museum offers visitors a window into worlds unknown or unfamiliar: the artistic, intellectual, and scientific heritage of Islamic civilizations across the centuries from the Iberian Peninsula to China. Its mission is to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the contribution that Islamic civilizations have made to world heritage. Through education, research, and collaboration, the Museum will foster dialogue and promote tolerance and mutual understanding among people. 7 “The Aga Khan Museum will deliver to Canadians and visitors alike some of the world’s most breath-taking Islamic art,” remarked Minister Glover during the ceremony. “In its educational focus, the Museum will reach out to speak to Muslims and to non-Muslims alike about the peace, creativity, beauty and pluralism of Muslim history and in these tumultuous times, those values are needed more than ever.” The endeavour to spread knowledge and understanding through the arts is not a new one in either the Muslim world or the West. Prince Amyn recounted how as far back as the 9th century, commerce and curiosity brought objects from the Muslim world to the West, and how in Islam, the tradition of religious endowments held in trust led to the creation of large collections of fine objects. From Fatimid Cairo to Central Asia and Iran, these objects were regularly made accessible to for public viewing. The Aga Kha Museu ’s per a e t olle tio has o er , artefa ts, a d ea h o e has a Fascinating story to tell. GARY OTTE As a vibrant educational institution, the Museum encourages the full spectrum of public engagement with its diverse Permanent Collection of more than 1,000 objects and its everchanging roster of exhibitions and innovative programs – including music, performances, culinary traditions, lectures, debates, special events, or film. Museum Auditorium The graceful dome of the 350-seat auditorium is an architectural focal point of the Aga Khan Museum. Beneath it, audiences will experience a varied and innovative cultural program throughout the year: musical performances, theatre productions, book launches and readings, and films. Audiences will also enjoy seminars, symposia and conferences produced in collaboration with local and international museums and cultural institutions. Many of these events will be presented in partnership with the Aga Khan Museum’s sister institutions, including the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture, the Aga Khan University, and the University of Central Asia. 8 19.8 meter high auditorium ceiling inspired by the Muqarnas - Rendering In addition to ticketed main-stage e e ts i the useu ’s auditoriu , isitors ill e a le to enjoy informal music and theatrical performances throughout the building. 9 INAUGURAL EXHIBITION AND PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAM The Museum opened to public on September 18th, 2014 with two temporary exhibitions and a performing arts program The first exhibition, entitled In Search of the Artist: Signed Drawings and Paintings from the Aga Khan Museum Collection, celebrates famous artists from Iran, India and Central Asia who were active during the golden age of the art of the book: the 16th and 17th centuries. The second temporary exhibition, The Garden of Ideas: Contemporary Art from Pakistan, features the work of six internationally acclaimed Pakistani artists: Bani Abidi, Nurjahan Akhlaq, David Chalmers Alesworth, Aisha Khalid, Atif Khan, and Imran Qureshi. Through diverse media – including film, textiles, painting, site-specific installations, and photography – these artists explore the theme of the garden, which has long held significance in Muslim civilisations. The performing arts program begins with Routes of Andalusia: David Buchbinder and Ensemble and Qalandar: Mugham, Dastgah, and Maqam, both in the Museum’s state-of-the-art auditorium. For more information about the Aga Khan Museum and its programming, please visit www.agakhanmuseum.org 10 Aga Khan Development Network: The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), a private, international, non-denominational development organization, is active in 30 countries and employs over 80,000 people globally.

Rahm’s speech was informative, inspirational and filled with priorities I have heart for. Suliyat was so thrilled to be there that she was just bubbly. Over lunch we talked about the 2015 priorities. She said, “l’m happy about the mayor’s priorities. It was a great speech. As I listened, I was also impressed with the structure of the speech. It was so well written and delivered!’. I looked at her and smiled. I felt the same way! As someone who actually enjoys listening to and reading well written speeches, I’d been listening to content and structure as well. J Rahm has such a great “results” story, one that I don’t think is widely understood. The story has to get out. It was interesting to read what Crain’s picked up from the speech for their mid afternoon news email: the minimum wage. While I get they were playing to their audience, it is important for the story of results to date and plans for the future to get to voters directly in a crisp, easy to understand way. I know I am preaching to the choir. J Thanks for the suggestion that Suliyat be introduced to Liz. Hopefully, I can get her to come to Lindblom to meet some of the students and to see them in action. Thanks again for the invite. It was a rare opportunity for both me and Suliyat. Warm regards, Paula Paula A.

Once the book comes out, I'll send you a copy. There's nothing much new here, but it reinforces the idea that unless you start with top-rate people, you will not get a top-rate result. We must continue to measure up both in Golden Apple Scholars and in AUSL Residents. Mike Martin J. Koldyke Founder and Chairman Emeritus, AUSL Founder and Chairman Emeritus, Golden Apple Foundation The Opinion Pages O P C- OE LD U M N Toward Better Teachers I S T OCT. 28, 2014 Frank Bruni More than halfway through Joel Klein’s forthcoming book on his time as the chancellor of New York City’s public schools, he zeros in on what he calls “the biggest factor in the education equation.” It’s not classroom size, school choice or the Common Core. It’s “teacher quality,” he writes, adding that “a great teacher can rescue a child from a life of struggle.” We keep coming back to this. As we wrestle with the urgent, dire need to improve education — for the sake of social mobility, for the sake of our economic standing in the world — the performance of teachers inevitably draws increased scrutiny. But it remains one of the trickiest subjects to broach, a minefield of hurt feelings and vested interests. Klein knows the minefield better than most. As chancellor from the summer of 2002 through the end of 2010, he oversaw the largest public school system in the country, and did so for longer than any other New York schools chief in half a century. That gives him a vantage point on public education that would be foolish to ignore, and in “Lessons of Hope: How to Fix Our Schools,” which will be published next week, he reflects on what he learned and what he believes, including that poor parents, like rich ones, deserve options for their kids; that smaller schools work better than larger ones in poor communities; and that an impulse to make kids feel good sometimes gets in the way of giving them the knowledge and tools necessary for success. I was most struck, though, by what he observes about teachers and teaching. Because of union contracts and tenure protections in place when he began the job, it was “virtually impossible to remove a teacher charged with incompetence,” he writes. Firing a teacher “took an average of almost two and a half years and cost the city over $300,000.” And the city, like the rest of the country, wasn’t (and still isn’t) managing to lure enough of the best and brightest college graduates into classrooms. “In the 1990s, college graduates who became elementary-school teachers in America averaged below 1,000 points, out of a total of 1,600, on the math and verbal Scholastic Aptitude Tests,” he writes. In New York, he notes, “the citywide average for all teachers was about 970.” In an interview with him after I finished the book, I asked for a short list of measures that might improve teacher quality. He said that schools of education could stiffen their selection criteria in a way that raises the bar for who goes into teaching and elevates the public perception of teachers. “You’d have to do it over the course of several years,” he said. But if implemented correctly, he said, it would draw more, not fewer, people into teaching. He said the curriculum at education schools should be revisited as well. There’s a growing chorus for this; it’s addressed in the recent best seller “Building a Better Teacher,” by Elizabeth Green. But while Green homes in on the teaching of teaching, Klein stressed to me that teachers must acquire mastery of the actual subject matter they’re dealing with. Too frequently they don’t. Klein urged “a rational incentive system” that doesn’t currently exist in most districts. He’d like to see teachers paid more for working in schools with “high-needs” students and for tackling subjects that require additional expertise. “If you have to pay science and physical education teachers the same, you’re going to end up with more physical education teachers,” he said. “The pay structure is irrational.” In an ideal revision of it, he added, there would be “some kind of pay for performance, rewarding success.” Salaries wouldn’t be based primarily on seniority. Such challenges of the status quo aren’t welcomed by many teachers and their unions. Just look at their fury about a Time magazine cover story last week that reported — accurately — on increasingly forceful challenges to traditional tenure protections. They hear most talk about tenure and teacher quality as an out-and-out attack, a failure to appreciate all the obstacles that they’re up against. They hear phrases like “rescue a child from a life of struggle” and rightly wonder if that, ultimately, is their responsibility. It isn’t. But it does happen to be a transformative opportunity that they, like few other professionals, have. In light of that, we owe them, as a group, more support in terms of salary, more gratitude for their efforts and outright reverence when they succeed. But they owe us a discussion about education that fully acknowledges the existence of too many underperformers in their ranks. Klein and others who bring that up aren’t trying to insult or demonize them. They’re trying to team up with them on a project that matters more than any other: a better future for kids.

Mazel Tov! Dear boytchik Rahm: I know you are always on top of your game but today, in the two events where I was involved, you outdid yourself. The breakfast this morning with community stakeholders was positive, optimistic, diverse, and a wonderful opportunity to factually show your commitment to the neighborhoods and to the issues that our community people care so deeply about. We were thrilled that you kicked off the Women’s Business Development Center’s “Connecting to Cash” outreach events. It was great crowd and again you were warm and funny, positive and factual about your commitment to the neighborhoods and to small business. We at the WBDC so appreciated your participation and especially to your patience (!?!?!?!?!?) to take photos with everyone! Thank you. I was proud of the WBDC and of you! Two suggestions……. 1) To replicate your stakeholder breakfast but individually with each of the sister agencies, i.e. Chicago Public Schools, CHA, Chicago Park District, Chicago City Colleges, etc. with key community and stakeholding representatives as guests and sister agency officials available to network and present your initiatives for each but with you as the keynote speaker for each. 2) Goldman Sachs is not the only one of the excellent technical assistance providers for small business in Chicago. Another is the Women’s Business Development Center!! We do a great job, as I think you have seen, thanks in part to funding from the city of Chicago, etc. etc. Give us a plug too when you can!!

There can be a master Chicago button on everyone?s phones for all kinds of instant video communications. Updated immediately at any time in the cloud, it can be for emergency notifications, current info on any subject, crowd information, directions and support for tourists, recipes and special offers in stores, parent information from teachers, etc. Keep in mind that - once you have the free application on your phone EVERY single instance of any marker or logo whether it is the CPS logo, a stop sign anywhere in the city, or a Coke can or bottle comes alive with updatable video information that the city can originate and control. Street signs in every neighborhood in the city can provide updated parking restriction info, snow plowing info, etc. all instantly for everyone in the neighborhood without tying stupid signs to trees. It?s worth watching the demo videos. Keep in mind that Chicago could be a world leader and innovator with this technology overnight. MagicTags is in the process of becoming an official Vendor for CPS. On Tuesday Tom Tyrrell (COO of CPS) invited me to come and see their brand new CPS headquarters in the loop. Tom is very excited about the many opportunities to use MagicTags in multiple ways throughout CPS (including within the curriculum, and as a communications medium with parents and students). During the meeting we visited and showed demos to Shawn Jackson (the previous Principal of Spencer Elementary who is now working on introducing personal learning strategies into the schools), Dilara Sayeed (who is working on introducing new technologies into the schools), and the media communications team for CPS (who handle communications from the schools to the parents, etc.). They were all very excited to work with the new technology and introduce it to CPS in their respective areas, opening up multiple new channels into CPS in addition to potentially working through LEAP. One of the areas that Tom is very excited about is the concept of delivering a weekly video message from the Principal of each school to the parents by simply allowing the parents to use MagicTags over that school?s logo. As a demonstration, Tom emailed me Thursday night asking if we could activate the new CPS logo with a video from CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett welcoming everyone to the new CPS offices. The new CPS logo is displayed everywhere throughout the new offices, allowing anyone with MagicTags to watch the welcome video by simply pointing MagicTags at the new logo. We brought the demo live Friday morning and Tom immediately showed it to Barbara Byrd?Bennett, who loved it, and is now very excited about MagcTags! If you'd like to see it, here is a link to a demo video showing the CEO's welcome message on the new CPS logo, the password to access it is:- Video Link: Password: - Also, here's a link to another very powerful demo for CPS - it shows a math book cover coming to life with the teacher providing information for parents on the math homework for that night, and also a page of decimal problems from inside the book coming to life with an instructor providing help on how to solve the decimal problems it's very compelling and opens the viewer's eyes to how mind blowing the technology can be!

I know you are in conversation with them on other matters, but in addition to a potential City Colleges connection they are making bigger moves into China- I am working w WBC to host a City Colleges panel for the China delegation on the 18th.

Begin forwarded message: From: World Business Chicago Date: December 9, 2014 at 4:10:21 PM EST To: Undisclosed recipients:; Subject: Important message about Chicago’s economic growth Dear Partners: Please take a moment to read the attached memo from myself and the Deputy Mayor of Chicago regarding Chicago’s recent growth news. Regards, Jeff Jeff Malehorn President & CEO World Business Chicago 177 N. State St. Suite 500 Chicago, IL 60601 312.553.0500 WorldBusinessChicago.com Subscribe to our monthly eNewsletter: Economic Focus Connect with us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook & More… Dear Partner: As you may have heard, the Illinois Department of Employment Services came out last week with updated economic numbers for 2014 and the news is good. Employment in Chicago?s central business district is growing, and has reached a record high of 542,000 jobs. That is up 63,0001obs, more than l3%, since a low point following the recession in 20l0. This growth is good not only for our city?s central business district, but also for our city as a whole. According to recent data, we?re seeing fasterjob growth in the last four years in neighborhoods across the city than the prior decade, and are inching our way back to pre-recession levels. The data is clear: downtown growth reverberates throughout the city, and the positive impact can be felt by residents in neighborhoods across the city either because of growth in their own communities or because they may work downtown but live, shop, and raise their families in every corner of the city. The fruit of our collective labor is paying off. When the Mayor took office in 20] l, he commissioned World Business Chicago to create the Plan for Economic Growth and Jobs, which has served as a roadmap for growth for our economy. Several efforts have begun to pay off. For example, we?ve worked hard to attract top businesses. Since 20l l, 28 corporate headquarters have moved to the City of Chicago. From mining to tech, the breadth of these industries is wide. There is still more work to be done, but Chicago is moving in the right direction. We will continue to fight to ensure that every Chicagoan has a shot at the middle class and every Chicagoan has the chance to benefit from the growth that we are seeing today. Crain?s recently published an informative alticle sharing the good news and highlighting a few key facts. Those points and more are highlighted below. We hope you?ll take the opportunity to share this good news with your colleagues, friends and neighbors. Reg ards, Steve Koch Jeff Malehorn Deputy Mayor, City of Chicago President CEO, World Business Chicago Economic Growth in the City of Chicago: Key Facts • Chicago’s unemployment rate has reached pre-recession levels to 7.2% and dropping nearly a third from the post-recession peak. • Our central business district is booming. Chicago’s downtown employment levels have hit a record high – today there are nearly 542,000 jobs downtown. • This growth indicates that our efforts to recruit new corporate headquarters have begun to payoff – 28 companies have announced headquarter moves to Chicago since 2011, and Chicago has been named the Top Metro in North America for Corporate Relocation and Expansion by Site Selection Magazine. Their relocation has spurred growth in support industries such as professional services – creating 14,000 jobs. • We’ve grown employment in our tech sector by 20% year over year. Furthermore, growth from new technology companies is creating new opportunities in areas like Fulton Market and the West Loop. • It’s not only the tech economy that is growing in Chicago today. Our efforts to attract 55 million tourists to Chicago annually by 2020 are paying off in hospitality and dining, where employment is up 20 percent since 2011. And other areas of the economy, like healthcare and social assistance, are also seeing double-digit growth. • In our legacy industries, such as manufacturing, we have curbed the decadeslong decline in jobs with manufacturing employment levels remaining steady at 65,000. Through our $320M investment in the Digital Manufacturing Lab, we’re supporting our manufacturers as they transform to become competitive in the 21st century. • Importantly, several of our growth industries, such as healthcare, require all skillsets and education levels, making them available to all Chicagoans. Programs like City Colleges of Chicago College to Careers program are helping our residents obtain the skillsets necessary to succeed in these high-growth industries. • With more than $4 billion in investments in Chicago’s public transit station (one of the largest programs in CTA’s history), residents from any part of Chicago can easily get to a job or opportunity in any part of the City. • Finally, we are doing our part to make Chicago an easier place to do business. We eliminated the anti-business “head-tax” saving businesses millions of dollars a year, slashed the number of business licenses required by 60%, increased lending through our microlending institute, and created small business plans for the neighborhoods.

I live on the 1900 block South on Prairie Avenue. In the past month I have received three tickets for violation of residential parking. I visited the City Clerk's office today to find out what I was doing in violation. My sticker did not have the residential parking zone on it. It was not absolutely clear to me upon purchase of the sticker that residential parking was purchased in combination with the city sticker. This was explained to me when I visited the Clerk's office today for clarity. Thus, I am guilty and paid $225 in ticket fines for three tickets. (Parking Tickets 9185853623, 9188127938 and 9188231146) I feel like I have gifted the city with a donation or that I have been robbed. I am requesting that you consider wavering this fee and issue me a refund and for the law markers to consider this law as an insult. I will exercise the legal due process but as lawmakers I wanted to voice and register an official complaint. My mother is 93 years old and requires assistance in walking. I have parked my car on the street to take her in the house, or to take my groceries in the house. I pay real estate taxes. It is a DAMN shame that you cannot park your car in front of your house without being ticketed. It should not matter what side of the street you park on. The ticket issuance for me is new. I have had the same sticker since June and have not received such a ticket, previously. In this area, you all may be aware the new De Paul Stadium is being built a block away. The tickets were issued as the House was being moved from one side of the street to another. There were considerable more people in the area to watch this event and caused parking problems in some instances. I am very concerned about the new traffic this construction and arena will bring to our home. Please consider my request and if you ever have meetings on the law (s) of residential parking, please advise as I would like to voice a view of a citizen. I am hopeful that the police of our city are as diligent in fighting crime as they are in issuing parking tickets to law abiding and tax paying citizens. I look forward to hearing from you.

As you know I am a big supporter of the Library being located within the City of Chicago and affiliated with the University of Chicago. I wish to re-emphasize our willingness to provide the land necessary for the Library and indeed to provide additional land for other ancillary and related uses. The land we suggest will border land recently deeded by our partnership to the City. The library can be built facing the lake front without encroaching on Park land. It is by good measure the most spectacular property of all now under consideration and it will be provided FREE. We would be honored to have the University of Chicago include the land in its deliberations. The beautiful new South Lake Shore Drive provides vehicular access; Metra provides train access; Tour Boats from Navy Pier have agreed to serve the site; the CTA has a major terminus at the site; there is a gorgeous lake front bike path from downtown; the new electric train route now under study will stop at the site. Notwithstanding the multiple means of access, at a distance of only 22 minutes from downtown, of the 14 existing Presidential Libraries, this site will rank as the third closest to a Metropolitan Center. I would be delighted to meet at any time to further the discussion. Cheers. DAN Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Madison Street, Suite 3100 Chicago, IL 60661 (312) 380-8810 President Office 21 December 2014 The Honorable Rahm Emanuel Mayor of the City of Chicago Dear Mayor Emanuel, I would like to also thank you for the kind invitation to visit you in Chicago and for taking the time to write to me about your thoughts and reasons why EL AL Israel Airlines should consider Chicago as part of our route network. As you rightly point out, there are many reasons why we should consider Chicago, which we continue to do on a regular basis. One of the important aspects for us when analyzing a new route is the commercial relationship that EL AL has with the main hub airline(s) at that destination in order to facilitate and offer passengers connections. In the past Chicago was high on our list, but unfortunately, since the merger of American Airlines and US Airways, there has been a major change in our commercial relationship whereby those carriers no longer allow EL AL to offer their domestic flights on an EL AL ticket; this change had a significant impact on our analysis of the viability of a route to Chicago. The other hub airline in Chicago, United Airlines, has an extremely limited agreement with EL AL, even though we have attempted on various occasions to expand our agreement with them. If there is anything you can do to assist in this realm, we would be able to consider Chicago on the EL AL route map in the future. Wishing you a Happy Hanukkah and all the best for 2015.

Right now the working idea (draft attached) is to expand ten-fold (to 30,000) the number of CPS students who study Arabic. We think a bold step like this will not only solidify Chicago’s identity as a global city, create opportunities for all young Chicagoans, but also set an example for other American cities for how to inspire a generation of educated, tolerant, and diverse children. Internationally, it would also be a great message that Chicago has big ideas about tolerance in these difficult times. I’d love to meet and discuss your experiences creating Lasalle; whether you agree with us that this is a good goal; and what you think would stand in the way of such ambitions. We have a great team working on this idea, and some creative ideas about how to address the logistical challenges, and well as how to connect the greatness of our universities with the promise for Chicago’s school children across the city and in diverse populations. I look forward to learning from you. We can arrange a meeting at your convenience offline. And thanks! Brian ----------------------Brian T.

It’s a long time and about 60 degrees from August, when we sat outside here in Evanston and first met. I hope the school year in the meantime has been treating you both well. At that point, the Middle East and North African Studies Program I direct was at a different place — we have been growing quite dramatically, and also developing significantly our public and community outreach. I’m writing in that spirit, but with an added twist. I participate in a program called “Emerging Leaders” at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, a two-year fellowship that in its second year writes a sort of report that makes a proposal for enhancing Chicago as a Global City. Along with two of my accomplished colleagues in this program, we are looking into making a bold and ambitious call to increase dramatically Arabic language education in the public schools. I think that the two of you would be the last people who would need convincing of the arguments for Arabic and the logics around language training as building global citizens (and global cities), but as you may know, my own research and career has been dedicated to the cultural history of American misunderstanding about the Arab world. As an educator, I am committed to trying to work together to improving the present and future of this perplexing and persistent problem. As a program director at the university level, I am committed to finding ways to connect what we do at Northwestern to CPS and ETHS. Clearly Lindblom and CALC are the leaders in this area, and I wanted to reach out to you both to see if I could learn more from you about where things are these days with your programs, whether you think an expansion of Arabic teaching in CPS (and Evanston, which I’d like to include in the proposal/plan) is feasible, what the impediments are (is it lack of teaching force? Funding? Public will?) and whether some of the ideas our team has been playing with about how to address these challenges might play out. I envision this as a two-way dialogue of course, and if our report to Chicago Council proceeds in this direction, we would want your advice, endorsement, and participation. Would you be willing to have a phone conversation with me about some of these questions? I am cc’ing Tim Garrett (who works with me as a project coordinator in MENA at Northwestern and is assisting me in this and other projects) on this email. Depending on your interest, schedules, and desires, we could have a phone conversation now and of course plan to meet up in person — including down at Lindblom/CALC — subsequently. And Alan, I’d be very happy to see you in Evanston for a drink some evening depending on your schedule after work. I’m also cc’ing our mutual friend Henry Bienen, since he first put us in contact, and of course is a major source of inspiration and advice to me on ways in which innovative partnerships around higher education can flourish.

However, Northwestern doesn’t start up again until end of September, so I’m not sure whether you want to wait till our “summer break” is over up here.

Within CPS currently, 7 elementary schools and 5 high schools offer Arabic as a World Language, reaching a total of 3,127 students; this is roughly 0.78% of the total 400,000 students in CPS systemwide. We propose measures to increase the number of students taught Arabic ten-fold to 30,000 students reached, or 7.5%, with equal attention across socio-economic divides and geographically across the city. By so doing, Chicago will establish itself as a national—indeed an international—leader in public education and set a standard other cities will seek to follow. Moreover, Chicago will make a resounding statement about the promise of the next generation of Chicagoans, and strike a positive note that will promise hope, rather than hatred, as we think together about how to solve the challenges facing the next generation. Teaching students Arabic offers invaluable skills in comprehending global cultures foreign to their own. Arabic is the fifth most spoken language in the world, with over 400 million speakers. It is one of six languages of the United Nations, and it is an official language of twenty-six states across the world. As the formal language of Islam, it also plays a prominent role in the lives of 1.5 billion Muslims today. The increased presence of Arabic instruction in the Chicago Public Schools would present students with the chance to build critical skills in tolerance and dialogue, and increase their understanding of cultures that are dramatically different from our own with which the US is nevertheless closely engaged. A solid understanding of the Arabic language, at the same time, can bring with it invaluable opportunities to students preparing to join the workforce. The US Department of State labels Arabic a critical needs language, indicating a lack of available speakers to perform necessary services. Arabic fluency, when attained, can offer individuals invaluable access to careers in business, defense, diplomacy, engineering, healthcare, journalism, public policy, and numerous other competitive, valuable fields. Signs indicate that the Arabic language will move to the forefront of US secondary language instruction in the coming decade. The past decade and a half has seen a monumental rise in public Arabic instruction: from 2004 to 2007 alone, Arabic instruction in the United States tripled. With the 2 expected release in the coming years of an Arabic Language Advanced Placement test, there is every indication that Arabic instruction will enjoy a dramatically expanded role in the very near future. Chicago should get in front of this trend. Chicago is a city identified with higher education. Among major metro areas, only Chicago and Boston can boast having two universities in the top 15 national research universities (according to US News and World Report rankings). Chicago should capitalize on its reputation as an education city and take a bold step that demonstrates it is a global leader in education. Immigration, both legal and illegal, is one of the most controversial issues that the United States currently faces. Chicago is one of the three ports of entry for refugees entering the country, many fleeing unrest in the Middle East. The growing acknowledgement of the importance of Arabic in the contemporary orld o i ed ith Chi ago’s diverse population presents an opportunity for the city to take a leading role as a global city and be an example for other cities on how to not just effectively implement Arabic language instruction in the public school system, but how to welcome and incorporate diaspora populations within the city into the conversation. Not only does Chicago currently boast a large number of Arabic speakers, it also already has an established foundation in the field of Arabic instruction at both the university and secondary levels. This asset makes it an especially attractive location for a concerted effort to implement Arabic language instruction in the public schools. Chicago hosts two excellent Arabic language centers: the Center for Arabic Language and Culture (CALC) at Lindblom Math and Science Academy, which Mayor Rahm Ema uel des ri ed as the atio ’s leader i Ara i la guage a d ultural i stru tio , and the Turath Institute for Arab Arts and Culture founded by Dr. Dima Turkmany. Chicago’s most famous universities, the University of Chicago and Northwestern University, boast major centers for Middle East studies: the Program in Middle East and North African Studies (MENA) at Northwestern and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at University of Chicago, both of which have public outreach programs. The Chicago Public School system also already features a small but robust Arabic language program: seven elementary schools and five high schools across Chicago teach the language, and over 3,000 students are currently studying it. Our proposal links the Arabic programs in CPS, CALC, the MENA program at Northwestern and University of Chicago, the CMES at University of Chicago, and Evanston Township High School (ETHS), to offer a mobile teaching resource for schools from grades 4-12. Too often, young people in Chicago are written off in the current conversation, not incorporated into our sense of what it means to be a global citizen, or what it means for Chicago to be a global city. This can lead to disaffection and a failure to take advantage of the ideas, energy, and positive aspects of our own ity’s youth. Urban youths should not be seen as a problem, but as a part of the solution. Last year, as four students from Lindblom Academy became the first Americans in history to participate in a prestigious Arabic-language debate competition in Qatar, Mayor Emanuel announced that e ha e u h roo to gro i the field of Ara i la guage i stru tio for stude ts i Chi ago public schools, and stated that he is committed to supporting existing programs and building new ones. 3 Now is the time to capitalize on these intentions and allow the city of Chicago to spearhead a national trend of bringing Arabic language instruction to high school children. Such a move would bring increased opportu ities to Chi ago’s youth and minority populations, in addition to thoroughly u ders ori g Chi ago’s ide tity as a truly global city.

Additional info from Dave follows: 3rd District Plan: Analysis: 003 had 5 shootings between 5 March to 8 March, none appear to be related, and two are identified with gang conflicts. In one of the shootings the victim knows the offender and he was placed into custody at 0800 this morning. The latest shooting that occurred early this morning the victim was so intoxicated and the wounds superficial it is still uncertain on whether he was shot or suffered wounds when he fell to the ground. To attack and abate this spike resources are dedicated from the District, Area, Operation Impact, VRI, and GED. Below is a breakdown on the resources dedicated. District Resources: Beat and Rapids assigned to conflicts and missions within their assigned geographic areas. 362 Team assigned to the Sircon City v. Pocket Town conflict, 71st to 75th; Stony Island to Dorchester. 361 Team assigned to Jaro City v. WIIC City Conflict, 63rd to 67th, Kimbark to Cottage Grove. In addition a combination of 306 cars that start at 0600, 369 cars that start at 1400, and 368 cars that start at 1800 will cover either inside the Operation Impact Zones or surrounding the zones when they are not covered by Operation Impact and VRI. Operation Impact and VRI: Both Zones 5 and 10 will be covered with Operation Impact and VRI personnel. Area Central Saturation Teams: 4113 Team assigned to 67th to 71st; Jeffery to South Shore. 4115 Team assigned to 71st to 75th; Jeffery to Exchange GED: 3rd Watch team is assigned to Jaro City GDs We will continue to monitor the conditions and adjust as needed.

As I mentioned, it would be great to get you personally involved with our Connect Chicago Challenge. It is a proven model that is nationally recognized for increasing the usage of the Internet in the neighborhoods that need it the most. This is a critical element of my tech agenda for Chicago. I attached a deck with more information- my team is available to discuss in more detail at your convenience. We're excited to see Salesforce continue their growth in Chicago. Thank you for coming in for the conference this year, Best, Rahm With innovative private and public sector leadership —exemplified best by 1871 and the Chicago Tech Plan —Chicago is primed for digital excellence. Today, however , too many Chicagoans are not part of the digital economy. Chicago lags the national average for home broadband subscriptions, ranking eighth among the ten largest American cities; more than thirty percent of Chicagoans do not have high-speed Internet at home. Even greater numbers of Chicagoans lack the technology skills to secure middle wage jobs. These gaps impede Chicago's continued success and ability to attract jobs and investment. The Connect Chicago Challenge is the signature vehiclefor investing in a foundational strategy of the Mayor's Tech Plan: engage residents and local businesses in technology to achieve full participation in the digital economy. Chicago is already closing this gap with nationally recognized models for building digital skills, enhancing online engagement and expanding access to high-speed Internet. These efforts have delivered tremendous results in the last four years: increasing broadband subscrip tions by 9% and job placement rates by 14% in five target neighborhoods. The Connect Chicago Challenge aligns, supports and scales these proven programs citywide to establish Chicago as the most skilled, most connected, most dynamic digital city in America. The Connect Chicago Challenge will invest $12M over five years in proven program s that will grow the economy, improve digital skills and enhance the vitality of our city. The collective impact of programs supported by the Challenge will: • Add $1.36 incremental GRP to the local economy • Create 48,000 new jobs • Increase wages and productivity by 14% Partners will benefit from local and national brand awareness through associat ion with the Challenge — a comprehensive effort that is a model for the nation.

For the purposes of a conservati ve estimation, 1.21% * 50%for 10%broadband penetration will be utilized, which is then scaled for broadband penetratio n in Chicago: 5%natural trend (0.3025% GDP increase) and 9%Smart Communities trend (0.5445% GDP increase)[page 17 Mossberger]. GRP in Chicago is $530 billion (WBC). [7] Mossberger, et al. [6J "For every one percentage point increase in broadband penetration in a state, employment is projected to increase by 0.2 to 0.3 percent per year."[Brookings: The Effects of Broadband Deployment on Output and Employment] For the purposes of this estimation,0.2%will be be used. Employment is 1.2M (per WBC Economic Brief, July 2014). 1.2M * 0.2% = 2,400 jobs per every 1%increase in broadband. On average, broadband use increased 4% for Smart Communities over rest of Chicago [Mossberger, Measuring Change in Internet Use and Broadband Adoption, April 2014]. [5]lbid. [4] Ibid.

We can do the phone (if necessary) but would rather talk in person. (also am out of town this weekend for my son's graduation but back Monday) On my mind for you: • press) Better communications strategy (not just • Thoughts on TIF (which is a great tool —but can be a winner for you substantively and politically which it is not now) <~--~~f !SUpport~~5t5~-->• Engaging MacArthur on policy stuff you need (without being obligated to take all recommendations <±--~~f 15~pport~~st5~-->• Getting control of the damn national park before the crazies do (do you know there has already been a renegade `charette" and CMAP issued an RFP for transportation planning for the Park and surrounds?) On my mind forme • <1--[endifl-->E 15 — If you'd prefer to talk to me rather than my clients -but after behaving well and putting off our push for nearly a year, we should talk —the only opposition is the oil companies (and the coalition that opposed your minimum wage Chamber/IRMA/ -coalition of health, air quality and community types in our coalition —and with a fund to pay for any costs incurred by any retailer who is eligible there is no downside. ( • My concerns (purely personal) about the ARO and its impact on our ability to take class C buildings on State C Street whose upper floors will never be used for offices and convert them into housing for the millennials who we hope will flock to Chicago (and will want to live car-free downtown). My concern is that the strictures of the ARO that make downtown development most expensive if there are not low income units within them makes the development of housing affordable to new college graduates nearly impossible. Greater integration of City Agencies into Chicago City of Learning (or if you want to change the name we can)... Here's the deal —you were the pioneer of an idea of integrated/connected/badged learning —but for whatever reasons getting agencies to work together under that banner is like herding cats and as a result you are not getting the recognition that you need — despite the fact that we CCOL have the only really network and program in the nation. I'd like to remedy that. • Marilyn Katz mkhomeCa~mkcpr.com 312-822-05050 (o) 312c) Sender: Sent: Recipient: Subject: Robert J.

We start our employees at minimum wage but offer significant benefits and, critically, training that provides for a very viable career path. Our current President and all supervisors, earning significant salaries, all started at entry level positions. We compete globally and because we are not McDonald's, Whole Foods, Target, etc., we simply cannot pass on our cost increases to our customers. The Alderman has been very supportive and is working with the BACP and understands that raising the minimum wage so dramatically in a discrete geographic area like Chicago puts Phoenix Electric and other small manufactures at a competitive disadvantage. However, things are moving slowly and I was hoping to personally meet with Mayor Emmanuel or his new Chief of Staf'~ Forrest Claypool. I genuinely believe we have a very compelling story to tell and because we have been manufacturing in Chicago continuously since 1938, I want to do everything I can to ensure that we stay in the City. So —and thanks for listetung —can you facilitate a meeting with the Mayor or Chief of Staff so that we can make our case? Please let me know. All my best, Doug. Douglas J. Bank Phoenix Electric Mfg.

But thanks for pulling the term sheet together Friday evening. That keeps things moving. The overall structure of 300 + 100 makes sense 1. to bridge the "gap" between CDA's historic leadership structure and where they need to be competitively (the next Commissioner will be in league with DFW 450+150; 2. to meet my financial requirements to somewhat make up for the 120% funded retirement and healthy retirement medical benefit I am leaving behind; and 3. also good management structure -wherein the expectations are clear. They have every right to expect serious progress in each of the 7 areas laid out for the bonus. The need is urgent and time is of the essence. Each year needs to count. Discussion points and proposed action to address: A. Need information on 401(k), 403(d) and/ or 457 plans. Are there more than one? Can I defer part of my salary and/ or bonus into a tax deferred plan? IfI do, would my contributions be at risk due to the risk of insolvency. I propose to call Carol Hamburger first thing Monday morning to understand this situation. Without tax deferral - it's a big difference in value. B. I will live, work and pay taxes in Chicago. We are actually looking forward to it. We have several long term friends(one was head of Chicago's biggest hospital until recently) who all live downtown. I'm thinking of the area west of downtown -for better access to the Expressw ay but still having walkable access to theatres, the major parks etc. (I have never forgiven the Drake Hotel for demolishing the best pool table and pool room in the world -but they did build an incredibl e restaurant overlooking Grant Park in its place.) We are big theatre and arts patrons. We own and intend to retain real estate in Colorado, New York and Virginia. After the downturn, we bought our retirement house which we currently live in. Peter will need to figure out a stable situation to rent it -hopefully to someone we know. It's paid for, so it's not a revenue driven situation -but we need a caretaker. Peter will spend most of the summer dealing with bank accounts, regular accounts etc. I also have a Virginia company, Tower Consulting, LLC that I formed to sign a contract with Grupo Bursatil for GBM Infraestructura. We need to check with legal counsel since I will no longer be a Virginia resident -but if I need to license a new company in Illiinois I'm confident that GBM will not object. They value the relationship. This would take some time however -possibly until the next Board meeting in the Fall. C. This raises an overall question. Disclosure is the first rule of transparency and ethics. I'm wondering if it would be helpful for me to prepare a document describing all my disclosur e -the Parsons stock, GBM current involvement(I am going to MC for a meeting this Thursday), the Virginia LLC. Happy to do so. D. I am considering asking for consideration (at their sole discretion)for a second Board in 20172018 timeframe. It would be another Mexican based fund put together in the next year - I have been verbally invited and I'm confident they will hold a place for me. ;'fy~' E. Exhibit A. The biggest issue is that Year 4 is not addressed. My 4th year anniversary will be just after the next Mayoral election and transition. Don't want to leave the last year bonus unaddressed. We can refine over the next 60 days -but they have included the major issues that should be addressed by the new Commissioner. I have a couple of suggested additions. Resiliency is a huge issue for Chicago, Boston, New York,PHL and Washington. More frequent severe storms are costing lots of money -both increased operational costs and lost revenue. There are ways to address it and it must be addressed. Secondly, while operations will not be my primary focus - if there is some obvious inefficiency - I need to address it. For instance, at MWAA,I found a glaring problem with the way they are using their insurance(with high deductibles they are essentially self insured). It's a big number and I've just put a plan together to close this erosion. F. Lastly but most importantly - I look forward to having a conversation with the Mayor so I can understand his intentions relative to a 4 year term as Commissioner and my participation in key public events and private meetings where I will be included and viewed by others as a key member of his team. I will absolutely do my best to use the extensive knowledge in City Hall to communicate and roll out key programs. However, we need to move quickly. I expect to shoot some arrows and receive some "incoming" arrows and bullets. Before I uproot my happy home and secure position - I need to hear his view of those inevitable struggles. thanks again Michael Ginger Sunday Evans Abracadabra is an ancient Hebrew word meaning "give your fire until the last of your days" r~ Term Sheet Commissioner Department of Aviation City of Chicago Ginger Sunday Evans ................................

It will be one of your many legacy gifts to the people of Chicago (and quite honestly, the world). Sorry i could not be at the groundbreaking to greet you. Unavoidable conflict with I►linois Hospital Association board of directors meeting which I chair. As you know, we have our own State budget issue with Medicaid reimbursement. Thankfully not as big of budget issue as you are working, but big nonetheless for Illinois hospitals. You may have also seen Wendy Duboe's (United Way CEO) invitation to the annual campaign celebration lunch June 19th at the Cultural Center. Our friend Pastor Chris Harris will be speaking. He is doing a terrific job in Bronzeville. Would be wonderful if you could stop by to say hello for a few minutes if your schedule permitted. Thanks again for everything you have done to advance biomedical research and make Chicago a great place to live, work and receive healthcare! Best— ~,` i DMH/ Dean M.

One of its prime recommendations was Yo design and implement a consolidated audit trail so that regulators rnuld quickly analyze market activity. In July 2012 the 5EC adopted Rule 613 requiring the national securities exchanges and Finra (the Finanaal Industry Regulatory Authority, a private self-regulatory organization) to come up with and implement a consoGdated audit trail. The database is to include trading of all stock, stock options and stock index options—bat the SEC excluded stock index futures and optlons on index futures, citing the agency's )ack of Jurisdiction. This omission ofstock index futures trading is deadly. It means that the agemy's audit trail mill be e~ything but "consolldaLed." It wip not,as the SECS prnss release stated, be a "single database of comprehensive and readily acceasible data regardis►g orders and executions" and will not allow "regulators [tol keep pace with new technology and trading patterns in the markets" Stock index futures were a focal po9nt of trading during the flash crash, and the charges just brought against Mr. Sarao only higlilight then importance. .v.., r;.. zr It would be a colossal waste of time and money to require the securities industry to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to design, build and operate an equities market andit trail withotit indudingstock index futures. The result wou3d leave regulators vdthout the ability to perform camprchensive surveillance of all equities-Related transactions in a rapid, automated fashion. As the securities industry works dlligently to comply with the SECs order, It is essential that the futures industry be added to the project, which should be a joint initiative of the SEC and CFTC. waitu~s until the next flash czash ox other market disaster to discover that stock Index futwes are not a part of the "consolidated" audit trail is a mafor risk. If the agencies are unable or unwilling to work together toword a solution,then the U.S. Congress, whfch has allowed the bifurcated xeguL•~#i~ry structure to gersfst for more than three decades, wi11 have only itself in blame when it calls a hearing after the next major market disruption.

You picked as your topic the one problem that is more intractable and harder to solve than our financial crisis, butjust as urgent. I'm trying to do my part in my little corner of Chicago. As you know, Noble is considering my ward for one of their new charter schools. Though Noble hasn't yet offered a formal proposal, I've caught a lot of a huge amount of grief because of my willingness to consider the possibility of Noble in Rogers Park. I've had to fire my chiefof-staff because she went behind my back to organize community opposition to Noble. She's now openly organizing against me and has joined forces with my so-called friend, Jan Schakowsky, who also is vehemently opposed to Noble and organizing against me. In short, it's gotten pretty ugly in the 49th Ward. Most of the opposition centers on the argument that Noble's entry into the neighborhood would undermine the progress Chad Adams has made at Sullivan. The opponents have gone so far as to claim that a new charter school would signal the death knell of Sullivan. I simply refuse to accept that defeatist argument and turn away Noble with its undisput ed record of academic excellence, a school that could provide hope and opportunity for hundreds oflow income families in my ward. Those same "progressives" who oppose Noble would have no problem if a $15,000-a-year private school opened in my ward offering a quality educational option for the upper income families in Rogers Park. But a school that offers the same kind of quality educational opportunities to the low income families in my community is somehow a threat to public education as we know it. I can't ignore the hypocris y. Nor can I turn my back on the parents and children that could take advantage of what Noble offers simply because it's politically expedient for me to do so. I firmly believe that Sullivan can continue to grow and thrive even if Noble opened in the ward and I need your help to prove the critics wrong. I shared with you briefly yesterday Chad Adams'idea of turning Sullivan into a "partial magnet school" for new immigrants for whom English is a second language. Under this proposal, CPS would give children who recently arrived to our country and who excelled academically in their home countries, the opportuni ty to attend an accelerated academic program at Sullivan. The school already has a ton ofimmigrant ESL students and faculty who are skilled in ESL courses, so the transition would be relatively seamless. Under Chad's proposal, Sullivan would also continue to serve as the neighborhood public high school in my community. I see a number of merits to the proposal: First, it serves a current unmet need. As i understand it, children of newly arrived immigran ts are currently placed into their neighborhood school without any regard to their academic prowess and achievement in their home countries. This program would give children who excelled academically in their home countries an opportunity to build on their success here and continue to be challenged. Second, it helps Sullivan withstand the loss of any students to Noble or any other charter or magnet program. Any losses of students to Noble can be more than offset by the new students who enter Sullivan's ESL magnet program. Sullivan does not lose any funding and perhaps could even realize an increase in funding, depending on the popularity of the magnet program. Third, it gives Sullivan the beneficial imprimatur of being named a "magnet school. " The psychological impact of such a designation can't be precisely quantified, but is undeniable. Fourth, the magnet program would serve primarily kids who live in the area. Though they might not all live strictly within Sullivan's attendance boundaries, a huge percentage of new immigr ants to Chicago settle in Rogers Park, Edgewater and Uptown. The school would be in their neighborhood or close by. Finally, in addition to the academics, it would provide kids the kind of supportive environment they couldn't find anywhere else. These children may come from different countries with differen t cultures and different languages, but they would all share one common bond--they are strangers in a new land. That common bond, in and of itself, would provide a unique kind of supportive environment that simply could not be replicated if those kids are simply thrown into traditional neighborhood schools. Chad and I immediately thought of Loyola as an ideal partner in this endeavor. The University much to its surprise has found its partnership with Senn immensely beneficial to its own academ ic programs and is very interested in expanding the same kind of partnership to schools in Rogers Park. Chad and the faculty in Loyola's Education Department have already been working together on some other smaller initiatives. I've shared Chad's idea with Phil Hale and Jennifer Clark at Loyola's Government Affairs office and they are very intrigued. Jennifer, in turn, has engaged in some preliminary discussions with Loyola's Education Department and they are interested in the idea, as well. She has been in the process of trying to schedule a meeting with me, Chad and the Education Department. Your meeting today with Loyola and Father Garanzini provides a wonderful opportu nity to broach this topic with Loyola's top guns. If you agree with me,I hope you will strongly encourage them to explore with Chad and the CPS Administration the idea of a partnership for an ESL magnet program. I know Arnie Rivera will be at today's meeting, as well. I've talked to him briefly about the idea and will send similar a email to him today. I am eager to move this idea forward. In an ideal world, we would announce this new magnet initiative in advance of any announcement of Noble moving to Rogers Park. One final point regarding Noble. Another criticism of Noble's possible entry into Rogers Park is that we already have two magnet high school programs--Chicago Math and Science Academy and UNO Rogers Park--and don't need a third. I understand from Arnie that UNO's high school program is struggling. Arnie has suggested the possibility of Noble simply taking over the iJNO Rogers Park High School. It's an idea that I've encouraged Noble to explore and they tell me they are more than willing to do so. If we can substitute a struggling charter high school--UNO--with a successful charter high school--Noble, rather than simply opening an additional charter school, this would go a long way to mollify ing all but the most vehement charter school critics(of which there are many in my neighborhood). I'm sorry for this long email, but I wanted you to have all the facts. I will follow up with Arnie after the meeting.

This "Youth Shout Out" is to give kids in our most dangerous neighborhood a chance to tell us what should be done. I funded this because offrustration that we were not listening to the "customer" and we're delivering "products" (mentoring, therapy and parent engagement)in inefficient vehicles. Get In Chicago and others are having trouble getting enough youth to participate in programs that deliver sustainable improvements. The idea is to link kids with an innovation firm and have them come up with ideas for things we can do THIS SUMIIVIER to reduce violence. Three groups will present their ideas on June 4th at the MSI starting at 6 pm to a wide group of people from the city. I also asked Aquil Basheer(runs A Better LA)to come and share his learnings based on a recommendation from Pete Carroll who participated in their violence reduction effects. While this is an Allstate event and separate from Get In Chicago we have worked closely with them and a number of other organizations to make this a full community event so everybody feels involved and part of the process. I do intend to fund some of these ideas from GIC. Let me know if you would like to attend. The attachments give you an idea of what they are doing and who is on the invite list.

You'll see a broad list of organizations with influence in the city as well as direct involvement in safety issues. The open rate for the invitation is high and RSVPs are coming in.

Toni and her team are sending invitations this week to some key groups including McCarthy and religious leaders. Let me know if there are other groups we should include. Please note: Simply forwarding the invitation does not allow the recipient t to RSVP - we need to email them an invitation. The ideation session last night was very good. Kids were focused on productive ways to use their time as a way to avoid violence, transforming neglected property in the neighborhoods and access to existing programs/mentors. Gravitytank will continue with the ideation process this week and return to the neighborhoods next week to share with he kids the continuation of ideas.

Combined, we sent approximately 700-750 invitations. At this point, we have not reached out to Mayor Emanuel, President Preckwinkle or Superintendent McCarthy. Criven your relationships with these individuals, I welcome your thoughts and guidance on how to include them in this event. We have, however, connected with a number of people in the Mayor's office who have said they will brief the mayor about this project. They are supportive of the event and look forward to attending: Adolfo Hernandez(Public Engagement), Kathleen Hill (Policy Advisor), Matthew Fischler(Deputy Policy Director) and Commissioner Evelyn Diaz(she has agreed to join us as a community panelist at the event). Attached is a summary of invitees. The complete list is quite lengthy so hopefully this provides a good sense of the reach. Invitations are extended to a broad, yet relevant range of stakeholders and partners in the Chicago community. If you'd like more detail, _just let me know. 4,:.+ We continue to make personal outreach to ensure some key people are at the event, i.e. Alderman, community leaders from the neighborhoods, etc. Also attached is a project update from gravitytank that summarizes the three weeks ofinvolvement we've had with the kids —including pictures.

This is a bad sign from the guy you need to sign the bill. The Governor said you need to be at the negotiating table when it comes to his turnaround agenda. Daily Press Guidance Mayor Rahm Emanuel Tuesday,June 2,2015 ~. How is this reform? You're just kickin Is this it for reforms? Given that the 2015 payment is still increasing by $320M this year and another $1.8B over the next four, bow are you going to pay for this? Won't you just have to raise property taxes? How much money can you generate from a casino? Even under the best projections it's not enough to cover the police and fire pension payments? Daily Press Guidance Mayor Rahm Emanuel Tuesday, June 2,2015 How will you make the payment this year though? Would you be open to temporary casinos?

I am hoping you can help me quickly get a letter from the mayor to commemorate one of the city's great visionari es in education. A few details: At age 27, Allison Slade founded Namaste Charter School with the goal of changing the trajectory of underserved children's lives in Chicago's McKinley Park. In 11 years, Namaste has grown from serving 90 to nearly 500 elementary and middle school students , with three classes of alumni attending top high schools throughout the region. Namaste has become a local and national model for a successful, innovative healthy school that combats childhood obesity while providing a rigorous academic education. The school hosts more than 300 visitors annually, including legislators, superintendents and teachers seeking to adapt the school's best practices for their own. Allison Slade is now moving on to her next chapter although she will remain on the Namaste board and as a valued advisor to the school. Her accomplishments have been widely acknowledged: she has received the Illinois Network of Charter Schools(INCS) Charter School Innovator Award,the Alliance for a Healthier Generation Healthy Schools Program Ambassadorship, and her role starting Namaste has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Magazine, People Magazine, WTl'W, and on CNN. We would very much like to give Allison a letter from Mayor Emanuel at a luncheon at the school honoring her on June 17. Since time is short(apologies but it took me awhile to track down the right contact!), below is a possible draft to work from? Can you let me know if this is possible and thank you so very much! My contact information is below. Again, I am enormously appreciative. -Cathy (Draft Letter) Dear Allison, want to take a moment to thank you for the enormous impact you've had on kids in Chicago and beyond since founding Namaste Charter School 11 years ago — at the ripe old age of 27! Under your leadership, Namaste Charter School has become the local and national model for successful, innovative healthy schools that combat childhood obesity while providing a rigorous academic education. As the school's visionary founder, you've begun to redefine urban public education to ensure healthy food, physical activity and "peacefu l people" programming are important foundations for student academic success. Thank you for everything you've done for the students, their families and the Namaste teaching staff. Your vision and passion have left an indelible mark on education in Chicago and proven that being healthy and active is, indeed, an important factor in education. For that, we are enormously grateful. And we can't wait to see what's next from you!

The results reported for 2014 were based on 49,500 surveys out of the 32 million overseas visitors to the US. Only 1,700 of those surveys were completed in Chicago. This resulted in a reported 70,000 international overseas visitor reduction to Chicago in 2014 vs 2013. Our biggest drops were reported from Australia, with nearly 27,000. Germany and Japan were also down. We did see growth in the countries where we have offices or where we are working in conjunction with the State, specifically out of the UK, China and Mexico. Many of the larger cities such as NYC, LA and San Francisco are no longer relying solely on the NTTO data to validate their international performance. We are currently in the process of compiling spending information from Visa, room night production from Expedia and Orbitz and supplemental data from Oxford Economics. Based on feedback from our hotels, restaurant antl attractions they were significantly up in international visitation last year and that trend has continued into this year. shared the preliminary report with David last week and will continue to keep him updated as the additional information comes in.

One cautionary note -there are several large-scale experiments underway that pit machine-learning alogrithms against judges' decisions in the pre-trial context, and the machine always wins. However, no judges in any state or county so far has been willing to cede their judgment entirely and most are very skeptical of a machine-based tool where the risk factors for every defender are opaque(you just have to trust the machine). The Arnold Foundation is using the same technology but distilling it into an index score to guide judges decisions. It's less accurate than the machine butjudges have been willing to adopt the Arnold tool. That's probably more than you wanted to know... but as with any research, there has to be a realistic strategy to actually incorporate it into the criminal justice system, otherwise it's just a nice theory on paper.

Given bailijail decisions are often made in 60 seconds(judge in Chicago bond court may see a couple of hundred people in 3 hours)if they had this kind of guidance we could make significant difference in relatively short time horizon. Summary: Many important policy decisions hinge on a prediction made by a human being. Take the case of a judge deciding whether to release or jail an arrestee who is waiting for trial. This decision is based on a prediction about whether the defendant would commit a crime if released. In principle the prediction on which this high-stakes jail decision hinges could be automated instead, particularly as large data sets and techniques from the field of machine learning provide new tools for making predictions. In this paper we ask whether these machine learning predictions are more accurate than those made by humans, and if so whether policy decisions could be improved as a result. Specifically we apply machine learning techniques to a national dataset of 150,000 defendants to predict their crime propensity using just data available at the time of the judge's own decision. We then compare the crime rates and jail populations produced by judge decisions to those that would result ifjail decisions were made according to the machine predictions. We show that relative to current judge decisions, a release rule based on machine learning predictions would let us either reduce the number of crimes by released defendants by nearly 50%without changing the release rate, or hold the crime rate constant and reduce the jail population by over 50%. We also show that machine learning can be a powerful behavioral diagnostic to better understand human decision-making, and in our case what seems to lead judges to mis-predict. Timothy F.C.

MEMORANDUM TO: Senate President John Cullerton RE: Proposed Changes to the Workers' Compensation Act DATE: June 4, 2015 Set forth below are several different proposals to reform the current system of Workers' Compensation in Illinois. City of Chicago Reforms One way to control the City of Chicago's workers' compensation costs is to legislatively mandate the City to contract with a Third Party Administrator(TPA)for the administration of its workers' compensation claims. This legislation would preempt current City of Chicago municipal ordinances, which effectively place the control of workers' compensation claims filed by City of Chicago employees with the Chairman of the Committee on Finance.l Despite a 20 percent reduction in citywide workers' compensation costs from 2011 to 2012, the City reports that 2013 costs have once again increased by approximately 14 percent.2 Requiring a TPA to administer claims would ensure more aggressive claims management, which entails accident reporting, monitoring of medical care, return-to-work status, and light duty assignments to ensure an injured worker returns to work quickly in order to reduce overall costs per claim. This legislative change would be similar to a SB 2958, which was signed into law as Public Act 97-895.3 SB 2958 required the Department of Central Management Services(CMS)to contract with a TPA for the administration of workers' compensation claims filed by State employees. The purpose of this legislative change was to address CMS "mismanagement" of State workers' compensation claims by "outsourcing" this management to a TPA. The mishandling of the workers' compensation claims filed by State employees was outlined in great detail in an audit report prepared by the Auditor General pursuant to House Resolution 131.4 For example, the Auditor General found that accident reporting procedures were not enforced, thus delaying the initial review of workplace injuries by CMS case adjusters.s CMS adjuster caseloads averaged 1200 cases per adjuster. Industry standards dictate that an adjuster can oily effectively manage a caseload of 175 to 250 cases. The ultimate consequence of not aggressively pursuing claims is that workers' compensation costs, both medical and indemnity, rise in proportion to the length of 'Chicago Municipal Code §§ 2-152-430 and 2-152-440. Z City of Chicago, Annual Financial Analysis 2014, pg. 44, https://www.citvofchica~o.ors/content/dam/city/depts/obm/supp info/2015Bud~et/AFA 2014 Final web.pdf. 3 Public Act 97-895,SB 2958(Currie-Althoff)(118-0-0)(58-0-0). 4 HR 131 (Madigan),97`h General Assembly,(111-0-0). 5 State of Illinois, Office of the Auditor General, Management Audit of the Workers' Compensation Program as it Applies to State Employees, http://www.auditor.illinois.gov/Audit-Reports/Performance-SpecialM uIti/Performs nce-Audits/2012°~20Releases/12-Workers-Comp-M~mt-Fu II. pdf the claim. The Auditor General found that the State of Illinois spent a total of $295 million for workers' compensation claims filed between 2007-2010, Implementing a similar legislative change for the City of Chicago could possibly produce savings in its workers' compensation program as it relates to City employees. However, an analysis of home rule preemption would need to be prepared to ensure that any legislative change could be effectuated. A detailed analysis of City of Chicago procurement ordinances and restrictions would also have to be considered. The changes to the State employee workers' compensation system since the selection of Tristar, the TPA selected to administer State workers' compensation program, have been apparent, though not yet studied in terms of actual cost savings. When compared to the State workers' compensation resources now available on the Internet, the City of Chicago has very little or no information about how workers' compensation claims are to be handled by City departments, at least on the public portions of its website. For example, there is no apparent "call in" number to report workplace accidents for City employees. While the most recent City Financial analysis states that the City has implemented some elements of more active claims management, such as medical billing review, increased investigations to prevent fraud, and return-to-work programs for injured employees, citywide workers' compensation costs are increasing and are significant.6 In addition recent City budget documents appear to indicate that the number of employed adjusters to handle workers' compensation claims remains low. f.'.i3')tiVt l)!i \Y%t)R.iCr.HS' CO!~f AL•:N 4A'TTi)!~` WORKERS' COMPENSATION PAYMENTS BY STATE AGENCY For Claims Filed 2007-2010 - As Of July 2011 $ :'14itlint~:s $144 State Agency Payments 5120 Dept. of Corrections $95,866,602 Dept. of Human Services Dept. of Transportation $58,655,127 $40,570,916 SUBTOTAL $195,102,644 5100 Aso sso Sao 62 Other Agencies sea 30 TOTAL PER YEAR AVERAGE $100,112,996 $295,215,640 $98,405,213 ryO~b~ ryo~h ryo00 ryQ~'1 ~poQ~ ryp0~ ry~,~0 `~p^~ ryo,~ry ~o,~'~ 6 City of Chicago, Annual Financial Analysis 2014, pg. 44, https://www,citVofchicaRo,org/content/dam/city/depts/obm/supp info/2015Budset/AFA 2014 Final web.pdf. ~ City of Chicago, 2015 Budget Ordinance —Position and Salaries, http://www.citvofc h ica~o.ors/city/en/depts/obm/dataset/budset---2015-b udset-ordinance---positions-an dsalaries.html. 2 Commission Reforms Examining Commission Data through Capital Improvements The Rauner Workers' Compensation Turnaround agenda contains proposals that will severely restrict the ability of certain employees who are injured at work, such as traveling employees and employees with repetitive injuries, to recover for workers' compensation benefits. While the demand for "cost savings" has been made clear, what is far from clear is what, if any, data has been presented to prove that these types of injuries are cost drivers in the workers' compensation system. Thus, lawmakers are being asked to make major decisions without any reliable data about the workers' compensation system that will potentially affect thousands of workers and their families. The lack of data about the Illinois workers' compensation system could be addressed by updating the Commission's database and requiring online filing of claims. The Commission has $30 million available for this purpose, but has done nothing to improve or change its current 30-year old computer filing system, which has limited data search capabilities and is still operated through manual data entry of information. This $30 million comes from a settlement fund from litigation involving the Illinois Chamber of Commerce.$ Pursuant to the settlement agreement, these funds can be used for three purposes: (1) for capital or system improvements to the Commission's Information Technology (IT) infrastructure, such as a new computer system or electronic filing system;(2)to pay for Rate Adjustment Fund (RAF)Liabilities, which is a cost of living adjustment for death cases; and (3) for increased staff and equipment for the Fraud Unit.9 There is no evidence that any action has been taken to implement any of these changes at the Commission. Again, it is unlikely that anyone in the Rauner Administration can state with any certainty how many repetitive injury claims there have been in Illinois or how many claims in a single year involve traveling employees. However, there exists the capital and means to update the filing system so that filing will not only be electronic, thus saving attorneys and the State the costs of the current paper based system, but will also be a resource for lawmakers as they are called upon to examine the state of the workers' compensation system from time to time. Furthermore, the programming language of the Commission's current database is obsolete. It is difficult to both locate and retain qualified staff to run this system, which not only holds Commission claims data, but also makes the random Arbitrator assignments and assigns cases to their correct zone. If this system shuts down, work at the Commission and its hearing sites around the State will grind to an immediate halt. Again, no apparent efforts have been made to address this serious deficiency that could paralyze the entire workers' compensation system in Illinois, which is $3 billion a year industry. e Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, Fiscal Year 13 Annual Report, pg. 10, http://www.iwcc.il.sov/annualreportl3.pdf. 9 Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, Chamber Settlement Agreement, pg. 8, http://www,iwcc.il.sov/Chamber-Settlement°~20Asreem ent.pdf. 3 A legislative mandate for the Commission to implement such an electronic system by a date certain could be one way to address this issue. This legislation would need to require the system to be procured by the Commission to have several specific characteristics, such as allowing for electronic filing, allowing the type of injury, final award, and subsequent appeals to be entered into the data system, and to allow for cumulative data reports to be run from the system's data, which will allow for analysis of this data. Mandating procurement of systems has the consequence of possibly impeding negotiations in the Request for Proposals (RFP) process. However, as outlined above, such mandated procurement was recently implemented with the mandate for CMS to contract with a TPA for the administration of State workers' compensation claims. Required Recodification ofthe Workers' Compensation Act As a result of the agreed bills process, amendments to the Workers' Compensation Act are drafted in the final hours of legislative session, with little time for review and often no room for even simple grammatical changes. Over time, this has resulted in an Act that has confusingly numbered sections, sections that are as long as ten pages, and archaic language that has not been replaced through routine recodification. Some go as far to say that the Workers' Compensation Act is unreadable to anyone except the attorneys who practice in that field. The unwieldy length of certain sections has even resulted in an adverse court decision where statutory language implemented by the General Assembly to address claims against employers who do not have workers' compensation insurance was misinterpreted by the Illinois Appellate Court because the change was made to a section ofthe Workers' Compensation Act that spanned several pages and therefore was unclear in its legislative intent.lo One possible legislative change is to create a legislative Task Force composed of attorneys and lawmakers tasked with the statutory mandate to recodify the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act to make it more readable and understandable, without changing the substantive provisions ofthe Act. This will be a significant project, as it will require examining each section of the current Act for recodification in a way that does not disturb current case law precedent. Workers' Compensation Ombudsman A quick perusal of the Commission's informational handbook for injured workers and the various forms required for filing a claim at the Commission reveal the unfortunate truth that it is virtually impossible for an injured worker to both file and guide his or her claim through the o ' Keating v. 68`h and Paxton LLC, 401 III. App. 3d 456(1st Dist. 2010). The Courtin Keating determined that a new provision of Section 4(d) of the Workers' Compensation Act did not allow an injured employee to file suit in Circuit Court when the employer did not retain Workers' Compensation insurance. This right to go directly to Circuit Court was added into the Act in the 2005 Agreed Bill negotiations. However, because the paragraph structure of Section 4 was confusing,the Courtin Keating found that the injured worker must first go to the Commission for a determination that the employer did not have workers' compensation insurance. Thus, the intent of the 2005 legislative changes was thwarted by the poor paragraph structure of the Act. 4 workers' compensation system without the services of an attorney. This fact, that workers' compensation is now alitigation-based system, appears to completely contradict the fundamental purpose of the system, to provide timely benefits to employees in the event they are injured at work. To help those who do not wish to employ an attorney, there could be a statutorily created ombudsman to assist pro se injured workers in the filing oftheir claims at the Commission, This position could be housed within the Commission, which does not suffer from the budgetary constraints of other agencies, as the Commission supported without GRF funds. Ombudsman programs exist under current Illinois law for condominiums and long term care. Several other states, such as Texas, Kentucky, and New Mexico, operate such programs housed within their Workers' Compensation Commissions. Workers' compensation ombudsmen in these states not only assist injured workers, but also employers and medical providers who have questions about the workers' compensation system. Medical Dispute Resolution There is no current avenue for medical providers to enforce the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act, such as the required Medical Fee Schedule reimbursements or the late interest provisions on unpaid medical bills. One way to address this situation is to create a dispute resolution process for medical issues. In Wisconsin, medical providers are authorized to file two different types of "complaints" with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, the Wisconsin equivalent of the Workers' Compensation Commission. Medical providers may file a form seeking a determination of the necessity of treatment and another for the reasonableness of the cost of the medical service, as Wisconsin does not have a Medical Fee Schedule. While Wisconsin has some of the highest medical costs in the nation and no Medical Fee Schedule cost controls, Wisconsin leads the nation in returning injured workers to work more quickly, according to WCRI reports. Wisconsin also has workers' compensation premiums that are significantly lower than Illinois.11 The relative success of the Wisconsin workers' compensation system may be attributed to the reduced "friction" between medical providers and insurers, as there is a clear way to enforce medical disputes, allowing for the timely provision of care to an injured worker. Ensuring that medical care is provided in an expedient manner may mean that an injured worker will have a better physical outcome following the injury, which then reduces indemnity costs for employers. 11 State of Oregon, Dept. of Consumer and Business Services, 2014 Oregon Workers' Compensation Premium Rate Ranking Summary, Oct. 2014, http://www.cbs.state.or.us/external/dfr/wc cost/files/report summarv.pdf. These 2014 Rankings place Illinois at 7th highest for workers' compensation premium costs and Wisconsin at 23. 5 Ambiguities surrounding the AMA Guides After the AMA guides requirement set forth in Section 8.1b of the Workers' Compensation Act was enacted into law, there was a vigorous debate amongst Petitioners and Respondents attorneys about several issues involving the implementation of these new statutory requirements in the determination of Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) before the Arbitrators and Commission. First and foremost, Section 8.1b is silent as to which, if any, party must produce an AMA impairment report. As the Petitioner has the burden of proof in establishing that a workplace injury was compensable, several attorneys believed that if the Petitioner failed to introduce evidence of all five factors set forth in Section 8.1b, including the AMA impairment report, then the Petitioner would have failed to prove their prima facie case for PPD. Requiring AMA reports in such manner would be problematic in that (1)Petitioners would bear the cost of procuring such report and (2) in many cases, it is not necessary or cost-effective to procure a AMA impairment report, as even employers choose to forgo obtaining these reports. Another issue that arose were settlement contracts, where a Petitioner and Respondent settle on issues like PPD in an effort to bring a quicker resolution to a claim. Several attorneys were confused as to whether an AMA impairment report would need to be attached to a Settlement Contract in order for it to be valid in light of the new requirements of Section 8.lb. In an effort to quell the dissention amongst attorneys practicing at the Commission and to avoid wide deviance in the application of Section 8.1b by Arbitrators and Commissioners, in the Fall 2011, the Commission posted "guidance" about how AMA impairment reports should be addressed by Arbitrators and Commissioners.12 First, the Commission stated that an AMA impairment report is not required to be submitted with a Settlement Contract. Second, if an AMA impairment report is not entered into evidence, the Commission opined that the Arbitrator is not precluded from entering a finding of disability. At the conclusion of this document, the Commission noted that these two statements were not rules of general applicability and that each Arbitrator and Commissioner should decide the cases on the facts and scenarios set before them. While the guidance issued by the Commission has apparently settled some of the disputes amongst practicing attorneys at the Commission, this guidance is not a legal document and it has no enforceability in law. The document borders on being an unpromulgated rule, which would violate the provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedures Act if it were indeed proven that an Arbitrator or Commissioner relied on such document as the basis of their decision. Given recent Illinois Appellate Court cases that have overturned years of established workers' compensation case law based on a plain and ordinary meaning ofthe statute, such as in the Will County Forest Preserve, it is likely that reliance on "guidance" may also be overturned by the Appellate Court if such ambiguities are not resolved by the legislature or the Commission through administrative rule. ' Z Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission, Section 8.1b of the Act— Permanent Partial Disability Awards, Nov. 28, 2011, http://www.iwcc.il,sov/amamemo.pdf. C Niovine the Fraud Unit into the Commission Pursuant to the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act, the Workers' Compensation Fraud Unit is now housed within the Department of Insurance (DOI). This Unit should be moved within the Commission through a legislative change. First, it would provide the Commission with the ability to more effectively run a program that is within its scope of expertise. According to several employer groups, as a unit within the DOI, the Fraud Unit has never been fully staffed, nor effectively administered, as DOI does not regularly address workers' compensation issues,. Second, having the Fraud Unit at the Commission would be an effective reminder for all those who enter the Commission that fraud is both monitored and enforced. It could also be combined with the Commission's current efforts to detect when employers fail to retain workers' compensation insurance, the "employer" side of workers' compensation fraud. Finally, this move would simplify both the annual appropriations process and the transfer ofthe proceeds from the $30 million settlement fund. Both these functions now require the Commission to split its appropriation and the proceeds of the settlement fund with DOI. Moving the Fraud Unit into the Commission will ensure that DOI will not use settlement funds for purposes other than the detection and prevention of workers' compensation fraud. Cost ofBond As the workers' compensation system in Illinois has essentially transitioned from a form of alternative dispute resolution to a system that more closely mirrors civil litigation, one way to reduce the amount of"litigation" before the Commission is to introduce a more cost-prohibitive bond requirement for cases appealed from the Arbitrator to the Commission level. This would cause Respondents and Petitioners to more carefully consider the cases they choose to appeal and hopefully decrease the amount of litigation costs that are borne by employers in Illinois. Under current law, the bond for appeals to the Commission is set at rate of return for the 26week Treasury Bill or "T-Bill".13 At the time this provision was introduced in the mid-1980's, the rate of return for the 26-week T-Bill hovered around 8-10 percent. Currently, these T-Bills have an rate of a return around 2-3 percent. Choosing a more stable index for appeal bonds could avoid the current situation where there is essentially no financial bar to considering an appeal to the Commission. 13 820 ILCS 305/19(n). 7 Sender: Sent: ;~y Recipient: Subject: Rahm Emanuel Monday, June 8, 2015 6:33:43 PM David Spielfogel Fwd: Follow up Were they consulted?

Amiridis Chancellor University of Illinois at Chicago Chicago, IL 60607 Phone: 312-413-3350 '~~~✓ Anew UIGCCC compact: Alternative pathways to baccalaureate degree completion The goal of this new compact is the creation of alternative pathways for baccalaureate degree corrrpletion for students who choose to start their higher education experience in one of Chicago's City Colleges and complete it at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Through this agreement Chicago's two largest public institutions of higher education will join forces: in addressing the City and region's workforce development issues in a more strategic and comprehensive way; in improving access to and affordability of higher education for the City's youth; in supporting the "cradle to career" enterprise as envisioned by the Mayor's office; and in creating a new national model for urban higher education at a previously untested scale. The key elements of this partnership should. include: A guaranteed seamless transition of University-ready CCC students to UIC. This will be achieved by: specific mapping and one-to-one correspondence between all University credit courses at CCC and UIC; pairing each CCC campus with a UIC College based on the specific areas emphasized in that campus; centralized relations with dedicated point persons from each side; careful advising of UIC-bound students at their home CCC campuses by UIC staff members; collaboration between CCC and UIC in CPS dual enrollment programs to avoid duplication of effort. Issues to be addressed: Definition of "University-ready CCC student" so that we have a high success rate; work to be done with the mapping of courses which will take some time; presence of UIC staff in CCC campuses; desire of CCC to extend UIC faculty presence in CCC campuses. 2. Reverse transfer of student credit from UIC to CCC. This will allow the CCC to demonstrate the success of their students by using the reverse transfer credit and awarding them Associate's degrees, and will definitely increase the CCC official graduation rate. In addition, it will provide a model that CCC can share with other universities to raise their graduation rate even higher. It is mostly an administrative process, but it can also be used to emphasize that students should only register for courses that provide necessary credit for degree completion, thus reducing time to degree and cost. No significant issues to be addressed other than logistics. 3. Expanding the STAR program to four years. STAR scholars performing well at CCC will be offered guaranteed admission to UIC under item 1 above afterthey complete their Associate's degree. Expansion of the program means that financial aid will also be provided for years 3 and 4 at UIC. Issues to be addressed: It is difficult to plan without knowing the number of STAR students. It is also not clear what level of financial aid UIC can commit to without violating "fairness" issues within its own student body (i.e., why should a transfer student be treated differently from a student who started at UIC and performs at the same level). This problem could be overcome if private philanthropic funds are raised specifically for this program, since then it becomes the wish of the donor. UIC will need help with introductions to Chicago philanthropists willing to help. This is a UIC issue and no action is expected from CCC. 4. Joint development of new degree programs. Although this has not been discussed with CCC so far, it is something I would like to put on the table. As we address workforce development issues we should both be in continuous contact with the City and the surrounding Counties and align our degree programs with economic development priorities. What is needed at this point is a commitment by both sides to inform and work with each other when opportunities for new degree programs are identified. ;.'~,.

Why weren't you able to address this problem in your first term? Why wait until deadline day? Why couldn't you predict that this was going to happen when you used 14 months of revenue to balance the budget? How bad is the budget going to be next year when you have 10 months ofrevenue?

MRE LAYS OUT SCHOOL FUNDING PLAN No one in Springfield has been able to agree on anything lately, and you're asking other school districts to make sacrifices to benefit Chicago. Why does this have any more ofa chance than what you were asking before? What are the longer-term ramifications if CPS doesn't get this relief?

I have asked him to forward this email (with attachments)to you. I am also cousins with Judy Wise and Shelly Baskin, whom I know you have known for most of your life. As a lifelong Chicagoan I have always tried to advocate for the less fortunate. After a successful stockoptions trading career I am currently devoting much of my time to mentoring young high school men in Englewood. About 18 months ago, I learned about 211. We are all familiar with 311, 411 and 911. But 211? ~~ HISTORY 211 is a free and confidential service that helps people across North America find the local resources they need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. United Way secured this critical number in every state and began the program in 1997 in Atlanta. Today, the Chicago Metropolitan area remains the only large populated region that has yet to implement 211. In fact, although 92.6% of all United States citizens can call 211, not one citizen in our great city can dial this critical number. As our hearts break on a daily basis for lives lost and families tom apart, millions of less fortunate citizens remain unable to dial 211 to access vital services that could help provide food, shelter, counseling, substance abuse, employment support, disabilities and virtually any resource you can think of that may help families and children.3.4 million people in Illinois have 211 access, but 9.4 million do not as a result of the lack of implementation in just four counties:Cook, Dupage, Will and Grundy. Nearly half of the people in the United States without access are in our very own Chicago Metropolitan region. For further information, you may check both the national 211 website - http://www.211.org/ or the State of Illinois 211 United Way website - http://www.unitedwayillinois.org/211/211.php Furthermore, you may also view the first attachment for some simple facts from the Illinois 211 annual report for 2014. LITRE PROGRESS The initial pilot in three !Ilinois counties was launched an 2009 and here we are six years later and still nothing in Chicago. In January of 2014, the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago(UM-MC), engaged Deloitte Consulting on a pro-bono basis and issued their 211 Feasibility Study(59 pages-attached). Please note a condensed "Executive Summary" of this study (12 pages) has also been attached. My understanding is that there have been discussions between UM-MC and Jennifer Welch, your recently hired Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Family and Support Services to somehow integrate 211 with the existing 311. I called her and reached her assistant, Olga Riveera. Ms. Riveera indicated that "Ms. Welch had no information to share" --~,, I also attempted to contact Wendy Duboe, CEO of UW MC. After answering my call she directed me to her assistant, '~ Virginia. After expressing my concern to Virginia, she confirrned that 211 remains a priority for UW-MC, however, she stated "We have many recipients we provide funds to and they are also a priority. Funding 211 would reduce our commitment to our current partners." You should also be aware that the 211 project has been under the job description of Jack Kaplan, Director of Public Policy and Advocacy at UW-MC. I met with Jack a year ago to learn about the issues. According to Mr. Kaplan there have been many meetings with many people over the years but still no concrete plan to implement 211. I question the true commitment of UW MC given the fact that 211 is a small part of Mr. Kaplans job description. MAJOR ISSUES have spent the past several days conducting phone interviews with several intereste d persons. have spoken with the following three people: 1. Dave Barber- 211 Illinois Board Chairman and previous Executive Director of United Way -McHenry county 2. Dr. Noni Brennan -CEO of Chicago Alliance, who assisted in the implementation of 211 in Michigan. 3. Kathy Donahue -Catholic Charities of Chicago, Senior V.P. of Development overseei ng homeless prevention call center The theme is consistent: Lack of funding and a lack of an interested party stepping up to accomplish this goal of implementing and operating 211 in our region. Funding -According to the initial 2013 Deloitte study, implementing 211 in Chicago would need astart-up budget of $350K with an annual cost of $2-2.5 million. Dave Barber feels that these numbers are much lower than actual. He bases this on his own experience with McHenry county, a population significantly smaller than Chicago. I do not know enough to comment but it is clear that in either case the return on investment by providing this vital link to our citizens is immeasurable. He also mentioned another possible funding model similar to 911 (whereby every phone bill has a small surcharge) as a possible option. It is also worth mentioning that United Way raises millions nationwide due to their name recognition surrounding 211. If it were implemented here, they would surely benefit as well. The Deloitte study does a nice job but they leave out one important non-profit that you are intimately aware of: Get IN Chicago. (Editors note:This e-mail was originally drafted last week before the Tribune article yesterda y regarding Get IN Chicago) ,\ C I quote from the Get IN Chicago website: "Chicago is facing a big challenge and, at the same time, a great opportunity. We can make our city stronger, safer and an even better place to raise a family. We can revitalize communities citywide and make the future brighter for the next generation. But we must act now. And we must act together. When we take a hard look at the'continued violence in Chicago you cannot ignore the fact that people become desperate when they lose hope. People lose hope when they do not know where to turn for help. Many people simply do not know how to seek help. Simply dialing 211 could connect millions of people in ways we have never done before. This initiative could easily meet the mission stated above for Get IN Chicago. Taking the lead financially on this project may prove to be their keynote investment. Implementation and Operational Leaders -This seems to be the other big obstacle. Chicago is huge in comparison to other locations, but 211 is up and running in over 92% of the country, including all other large cities. United Way is a large part of this, but many other agencies have stepped up to the plate to operate these call centers in many counties. Path Crisis (http://www.pathcrisis.orgn, a partner of United Way in many Illinois counties, has proven that this model works well. Kathy Donahue from Catholic Charities also confirms that her call center could easily be expanded to accommodate 211 in Chicago. CONCLUSION hope I have done some justice to this issue. I have absolutely no personal agenda other than the love I have for our city and my desire to see people get the help they need and deserve. feel blessed to have this opportunity to possibly capture your attention and I hope that Tom Wilson can also lend his expertise as well. If you can find a way to secure the funding and motivate a leader to step forward, you will be positively impacting millions of people. Chicagoans across the city would have the access that they never had before. If I can help any further please do not hesitate to contact me. respectfully, Marc Brown ~,i Education. Income. Health.

United Way of Metropolitan Chicago 211 Feasibility Study, Phase II ~ Business Case January 2014 Introduction The Task Deloitte has worked with The United Way of Metropolitan Chicago(LTW-MC)to provide ongoing support in evaluating the requirements to establish a 211 Information and Referral(I&R) ca11 center for the Chicago-metro area including the City of Chicago, DuPage County, and suburban Cook County.

Cost projections from the study presented significant hurdles for both implementation and sustainable operation. The second phase of the team's work, the business case, requires evaluarion of the available funding opportunities for 211. Should UWMC fmd that funding opportunities meet a sufficient threshold for both implementarion and sustainable 211 operation, UW-MC leaders intend to commence fundraising efforts.

Prior to incorporation, multiple ca11 centers operated independently across the state providing different levels of service and a limited amount of coverage. Today, under the common banner head of Michigan 211, 81oca1 call centers leverage a common technology and database infrastructure to provide 24/7/365 service, delivering 99.7% statewide coverage in 82 of 83 counties. Acting as an independent entity, Michigan 211 maintains the integrity of the statewide I&R database and r~~ ~ " technology infrastructure, and provides guidance on issues that specific call centers need to address. Additionally, Michigan 211 contributes approximately 11% of the annual statewide operating budget in the form of direct funds to loca1211 call centers. Major Sources of Funding Michigan 211 The operating budget of the 8-call-center network in Michigan is approximately $5.3 million. Each of the 8 ca11 centers within this network is responsible for funding 75-80% of its own operating budget, with Michigan 211 funding the remaining 20-25%. Half ofthis funding (approx. 11%)is received through direct contribution from Michigan 211, while the remaining dollars maybe attributed to Michigan 211 fundraising efforts (e.g., Government, Philanthropic, and Foundation). Value Demonstrated Direct funding by Michigan 211 to local ca11 center operators helps provide the continued operation of statewide I&R services in Michigan. Furthermore, ownership over dataUase and technology infrastructure allows for the scalability of the state's solution as well as economies of scale for all local call center operations. Finally, when these benefits are considered in aggregate, Michigan 211 has become an increasingly attractive candidate for additional government funding opportunities. Existing 211 Funding Models 18 Existing 211 Funding Models, Michigan, cont'c~ Local United Ways Local United Ways provide significant funding for the continued operation of Michigan 211 and the 8 local call centers that support it. Each year, the contribution by United Way as a whole is appro}cir nately 48%(approx. $2.5 million) of the 8 ca11 center operating budget. Local United Ways support regional ca11 centers through two funding mechanisms: multi-year contracts and or annual allocations. Local United Ways also support Michigan 211 directly through their membership fees with the Michigan Associat ion of United Ways(MAUW). Value Demonstrated Nationally, 211 continues to be one of the highest priority for United Way Worldwide. Annual contributions in Michigan reflect this priority and allow for 211 to serve as a strategic initiative for local United Way chapters to connect constituents with available resources. Federal/State Government/Local Government Government funding accounts for 25%(approx. $1.3 million) of the annual call center contribut ions in Michigan. Historically, funds have been made available in Michigan through fee-for-service contracts and grants. Several examples offee-for-service contracts include the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) referral program, H1N1 awareness campaign, and the census collection support program. Examples of awarded grants include the Federal Veterans Transit Community Living Initiative Grant through the Federal Transit Administration. Value Demonstrated The earned income tax credit(EITC) has shown to be a consistently strong value proposition for 211 operators across the country. In 2010, Michigan was allocated $500 thousand Uy the state legislatu re and administered by the Department of Human Services that included $205,000 to demonstrate the value associated with its I&R services related to free tax assistance programs. During the course of this 4month demonstration project, Michigan 211 received nearly 15 thousand tax assistance inquiries , scheduling 6,200 tax prepararion appointments and providing over 8,000 addirional referrals for various tax-based credits. Based on the expected state and federal EITC in Michigan, it was projected that if it 80%the callers who were referred to free tax assistance completed filings, as much as $27 million may enter the Michigan economy in 2010 alone.

In 2004, LA County government set aside funding to help INFOLINE convert to "211 LA and launch 211 service to County residents. The key to 211 LA's endorsement was its ability to show local human service agencie s the value it may likely provide the community as its 211 provider. To demonstrate this, 211 LA leaders created promotional materials and conducted a `Road Show` with specific local human service agencies (see appendix for image ofthe promotional brochure). As a result, 211 LA successfully harness ed agency endorsement and used it to show elected LA County officials that influential agencies were support ing the 211 business plan to create 211 LA. Major Sources of Funding Federal/ County Government 211 LA receives $6.5 million dollars(approx.) annually from LA County in `fee-for-service' contracts. Contracts are negotiated every three years to provide specified information and referral services. Awarded funds contain both local and federal dollars but are appropriated by the county. Value Demonstrated 211 LA's value propositions to the county are its ability to provide demonst rable impact on specific county issues, its willingness to be responsive in times of crisis and its ability to capture and report its impact through data metrics. One example of 211 LA showing responsiveness , above and beyond contracted terms, occurred in 2002 when a measurable increase in baby abandon ment/infanticide occurred in the county. Cases of baby abandonmentlinfanticide take place when a parent gives birth to an unwanted child and does not know how to proceed. To help reduce instanc of es abandonment/infanticide, the State of California enacted the `Safely Surrendered Baby Law' which provides parents a safe and legal option to surrender a child. LA County leverag ed 211 LA as a tool to provide information to parents in crisis on the tenants ofthe `Safely Surrendered Baby Law'and provide information on the appropriate locations for parents to surrender a child. 211 LA's ability to be Existing 211 Funding Models 21 Existing 211 Funding Models, cont'c~ tr ~ t responsive and provide frontline support to LA County for this issue, and others like it, provides the county the opportunity to mobilize issue mitigation efforts quickly. 211 LA's willingness and ability to work as a partner with LA County continues to solidify their long-standing contractual partnership. Private Foundation Grants 211 LA receives some of its private foundation grant revenue from `First 5 LA', anon-profit agency funded through state tobacco taxarion. First 5 LA focuses its investment strategy on those programs that have a positive impact on children from ages 0-5, and awards 211 LA approximately $ 1.8 million annually to help realize its vision. Value Demonstrated 211 LA's value proposition to First 5 LA is its ability to provide broad, warm line services for expecting parents and parents of newborn children ages 0-5. Services include information and unassisted referrals, advocacy, screening and care coordination for children with developmental delays and aurism, and assisted transfer of calls to specific services provided by third party agencies. One differentiator of211 LA's value for `First 5 LA'comes from 211 LA's specific call center data capture and reporting, and its ability to conduct in-reach to identify First 5's target population from the genera1211 calling pool. 211 LA receives regular database/transaction software development support from technicians at Google and Jet Propulsion Laboratories, allowing them to report specific information about assistance provided for children at a granular level. Other 211's, 311's and Information and Referral providers across the country and in Canada license 211 LA's data taxonomy for their own data reporting capabilities. United Way-Los Angeles /State Government UWLA contributes $194,000 indirectly to 211 LA by contributing this amount to the County who uses it as a match to draw down federal funds.

In 2007, San Diego 211 replaced it existing 211 executive director with John Ghanian. Three weeks later, wildfires struck the region resulting in an enormous spike in 211 San Diego's call volume. Previous call volume was approximately 100 ca11s/day; during the wildfires, call volume increased to approximately 40,000 calls/day. The wildfire epidemic made evident that 211 San Diego was ill-equipped to deal with ' the demand of a local disaster. Furthermore, a $300 thousand shortfall in short-term funding was discovered. To survive, corporate relationships were leveraged to secure grant funding. Ghanian spent the next year rebranding the 211 image in San Diego and refocusing the call center's objective by placing greater emphasis on caller outcomes. To achieve this, the call center began an operator training program and introduced a quality assurance department. This strategy was met with success and began to capture and report specific call center data showing community needs, ca11 center service levels and consultation outcomes (see appendix , `211 San Diego, Illustrative Value Proposition' for sample of211 San Diego data capture). By 2010, the community and potential funders began to understand the value 211 San Diego was delivering. Since realization, the organization has thrived financially, running a surplus annually. Major Sources of Funding Federal/ County Government 211 San Diego receives $3 million (approx.) annually from San Diego County in °fee-for-service' contracts related primarily to health and human services. Contracts are typically negotiated each year and contain a mix of county and federal dollars. Value Demonstrated The value proposition to San Diego County is 211's ability to provide services that go beyond those typically associated with 211 I&R. Ghanian describes this as the difference between `Information & Existing 211 Funding Models 24 Existing 211 Funding Models, cant'd Assistance'(I&A), as compared to `Information &Referral'(I&R). 211 San Diego offers I&A services in the form of application assistance, appointment setting and over the phone enrollment. One example ofI&A in action is the role that 211 San Diego plays in the CalFresh and Food Assistance program. CalFresh is USDA-funded program to help improve health and nutrition of families with low incomes. 211 San Diego is contracted to prescreen callers to see if they meet the basic criteria to be eligible for CalFresh. 211 San Diego is also available to assist callers fill out CalFresh applications, mail callers relevant materials or direct callers to additional related resources. City Funding 211 San Diego receives a small amount of budget annually from 6 ofthe 18 cities within San Diego County. Not all cities in San Diego county contribute to 211, but all cities within the county are provided service. Value Demonstrated While San Diego County is responsible for delivering health and human services to its cirizens, the city government is tasked primarily with providing public safety. 211 San Diego identified this responsibility structure as an opportunity based on 211's traditional competency in times of public safety crisis to provide I&R services. With that in mind, cities choose to use 211 San Diego instead of operating or implementing independent call centers during times of crisis. 211 San Diego has agreed to operate city crisis lines in exchange for funding, and in doing so, alleviates significant cost burdens while providing needed responsiveness. (`~ Private Foundation (not United Way)Funding 211 San Diego receives $600 thousand (approx.)from private foundations in the form of grants and feefor-service contracts. Foundations tend to use 211 San Diego's platform as an opportunity to further an initiative. 211 San Diego delivers and reports results on the specific initiatives) related to the foundation's interest(s). Value Demonstrated An example of 211 San Diego delivering value to foundations is captured through its partnership with the Susan G. Koman for the Cure foundation. One specific Koman foundation initiative provides access the free mammograms for eligible women without health insurance. 211 San Diego has high-quality access to this demographic of women and has entered into partnership with the Koman foundation to enhance this opportunity.

Through this branding, United Way may showcase 211 to general campaign fenders as tangible evidence of community impact. Additionally, this branding may reduce some of the obstacles to receiving initial 211 funding due to United Way's history and stability within a community (a common hurdle for start-ups). Funding independence, paz-ticularly during implementation, requires less stakeholder consensus on specific issues like technology requirements, call center processes, customer interaction models and agency agreements. Once operational, 211 initiatives may focus in areas that the local United Way has identified as central to its mission. Additionally, measurement of211 performance may be internally focused, instead of being driven by external interests. Model Limitations Funding the implementation and operation of211 primarily through United Way campaign dollars increases the risk of an unsustainable funding model. This limitation is generally realized in large metropolitan areas because operating costs are driven by call volume. When looked at as a cost center, the costs associated with 211 tend to be higher than some individual United Way initiatives. This maybe particularly difficult during implementation and initial operation when cost efficiency for 211 tends to be low. With the potential for limited initial impact, annual campaign investments may tazget 211 for cost cuts through operational reductions. Another limitation offunding 211 through the general United Way campaign is that the measurement of 211's funding benefit for the general campaign is elusive. Laura Marx, a 211 national subject matter expert, indicated that there is limited evidence to suggest an increase in general campaign funds when the 211 brand is owned by United Way. Furthermore, she acknowledged that branding 211 with United Way may actually depress 211 funding due to the common misconceprion that United Way organizations are already sufficiently funded. Lastly, using only United Way campaign dollars to fund 211 neglects significant opportunity to engage potenrial contributors. 211s that partner with other stakeholders tend to expand the scope of service to meet partnership needs. Failing to engage in partnership inevitably diminishes the potential impact of 211 within a community. Existing 211 Funding Models 27 .- Via-3+ I mm: . rees. .- .

Potential FundingSources~ 29 Potential Funding Sources, cont'd City of Chicago, Cook County and DuPage County Funds National Overview Ofthe 211 call centers the team worked with, only 211 LA County draws a large percentage of its funding support from local government entities. However, the Chicago-metro 211 partnership with Catholic Charities Homelessness Prevention call center provides UW-MC an opportunity to leverage and expand existing local government relationships. Also, Chicago-metro 211's ongoing partnership with city stakeholders throughout the 211 evaluation process could benefit Chicago-metro 211 in securing shortterm funding solutions through the city. Department of Family and. Support Services Partnership Opportunity Summary Project leaders continue to work with John Pfeiffer, First Deputy Commissioner at the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services(DFSS),to gain an understanding of DFSS's current contributions to Catholic Charities Homelessness Prevention call center and DFSS's interest in partnership with Chicago-metro 211 in the future. DFSS currently provides support of$250 thousand to the Homelessness Prevenrion ca11 center from DFSS's `Homelessness Services' funding `bucket'. Pfeiffer anticipates the Chicago-metro 211 call center could potentially pull DFSS dollars from a more general funding category or as a special iniriative. Overall, funding availability to Chicago-metro 211 should be greater than Catholic Charities Homelessness Prevention ca11 center. Funding Opportunity DFSS'funds are sourced through the city, state and federal government on an annual basis. Year-overyear receipt offunds is reliable and reapplication for funding is straightforward. DFSS places a high level of accountability on organizations it provides funds to. Chicago-metro 211 will increase the likelihoo d of receiving continuous funding from DFSS by providing regular statistical reporting on metrics important to DFSS. Four specific metrics mentioned as important for Chicago-metro 211 to report on will be: call volume, call answer rate, referrals made, outcomes. Network Opportunities DFSS indicated that it will likely provide Chicago-metro 211 support in securing funds from other partners by providing guidance in the crafting of value propositions and by facilitating introductions to organizations that may have interest in the 211 initiative. Potential FundingSources~ 30 Potential Funding Sources, coj~t'd Department of Technology and Innovation Partnership Opportunity Summary Project leaders continue to work with Brenna Berman, Commissioner &CIO for Chicago 's Department ofInnovation &Technology (IT), to gain an understanding ofthe department's interests should 211 be introduced to Chicago-metro. Discussions reveal that plans to upgrade the city's 311 platform will likely present an opportunity for integration between 311 and 211. IT views integration as an opportunity to create positive/consistent resident experiences whether calling 211 or 311. Strategically, Chicago-metro 211 may benefit from technological integration with 311 through the development of advanced 211 call center analytics as well as opportunities for cost efficien cy through partnership within the 311 web portal. Decisions on Chicago-metro 211 and IT partners hip will likely be evaluated during the design phase of a Chicago-metro 211 implementation. Funding Opportunity The IT deparhnent indicates that the opportunity for initial finding support flowing through the department is low. In the long-term, the more closely 211 aligns with and integrates to Chicago 311, the more likely that funding support could be realized. Network Opportunities The IT department has connections to local businesses with knowledge in call center technology support. One local organization mentioned, SeeClikFix, creates smart phone applications for call centers. The Smart Chicago Collaborative is another organization that IT views as a potential valuable project partner. The Smart Chicago Collaborative focuses on the adaption of technology in the Chicago community; it could provide Chicago-metro 211 valuable technology design adviseme nt. Potential Funding Sources 31 Potential Funding Sources, col~zt'd Cook and DuPage County ~~, Partnership Opportunity Summary ~'~' LTWMC remains engaged with leadership in suburban Cook County and DuPage County for the Chicago-metro 211 initiative. DuPage County has a existing broad spectrum human service call center while suburban Cook County employs a virtual call center(Cook County Alliance to End Homelessness) focused in shelter related needs. Both call centers offer services during weekda y business hours. Initial discussions have indicated that Chicago-metro 211 may provide overnig ht and weekend coverage to DuPage County. For the Cook County Alliance to End Homelessness virtual ca11 center, Chicago-metro 211 could potentially replace its operations. DuPage County call center leaders intend to contribute leadership and operato r training guidelines for Chicago-metro 211. DuPage County call center operators are AIRS certifie d and it will be important that Chicago-metro 211 operators and DuPage operators provide a consistent level of service. Within the design phase of this work, continued engagement with DuPage County call center leadership will be essential. Funding Opportunity Conversations with other major metropolitan operators indicate that, at times, funding support from uutially reluctant local government stakeholders may become accessible after 211 is operational. Initial conversations with Cook County leadership indicate that implementation fundin g will likely be difficult to secure. For Cook County, relationships with stakeholders likely need to be develo ped to further the opportunity. DuPage County`s I&R call center leadership indicates that the cost of operati ons for its own call center require the majority of available funds. As observed through the operation of other major metropolitan 211 call centers, overnight and weekend service may include a fee for service contract. If DuPage County were to receive additional services from Chicago-metro 211, UW-MC will want to communicate participarion requirements/ expectations for overnight and weekend covera ge to DuPage County leaders, Network Opportunities Both call centers are associated with partner agencies that will likely be critical to include in preimplementarion `road show'efforts. Parhiership with leadership to strateg ize on engagement with those specific agencies will likely be essential. Potential Funding Sources 32 Potential Funding Sources, cont'd State of Illinois Funds >~..f National Overview State funding for 211 has been granted in approximately half of the operational call centers across the nation. State funds received to 211 call centers typically consist of either funds appropriated directly from the state or from federal pass-through funds. In the project team's researc h of different 211 operations, relationships Uetween 211 call centers and state government varied significantly. For example, Houston 211 exists as part of a state government initiative, while Denver's 211 does not have access to state funding based on limited 211 coverage in Colorado. Chicag o-metro 211's model to engage state leadership should closely resemble New Jersey 211. New Jersey 211 was introduced without access to state funds, but through the development of relationships with state leaders hip, the state of New Jersey recently(2013)began contributing to New Jersey 211's annual budget . Department of Human Services Partnership Summary IJWMC has begun initial engagement with the Department of Human Servic es(DHS)leadership to inform it on progress ofthe Chicago-metro 211 initiative. DHS,in conjun ction with the governor's office, has been involved in a state sponsored 211 initiative through its suppor t of pilot programs in the state. DHS leadership shows interest in supporting UW-MC's initiative to implement and operate 211 for Chicago-metro. One area that DHS references as an opportunity for Chicag o-metro 211 to improve DHS operations/performance will likely be 211's ability to act as a first resource for residents with human service needs. The state sponsors a number of specialized call lines for residen ts, and currently those call centers are inundated with calls from residents unclear on the different service s each call center provides. This results in a large amount of time being spent on I&R instead of assista nce. According to DHS leadership, 211's ability to provide first-line I&R assistance could provid e significant efficiency improvements to state ca11 centers. Additionally, the 211 calling platform aligns strategically with DHS's `Frameworks' project. The `Frameworks' project vision is to create an integra ted and efficient healthcare and human services delivery system. Funding Opportunity T'he opportuxuty to secure funding from DHS appears likely in the long-term, but not as probable in the short-term. DHS does not have a direct funding relationship with Catholi c Charities' Homelessness Prevention call center, and DHS leadership referenced its own funding challenges over the course of our discussions. However, per conversation with DHS leadership, a 211 accoun t fund has been established under the 211 Information Services Act. The fund resides in the State treasur y and is separate and distinct from the state's General Revenue Fund. The 211 Account Fund consists of the following: ■ Money appropriated to the Fund by the General Assembly ■ Funds received from the federal government for the support of 211 services in this State ■ Earnings attributable to money in the Fund ■ Money received from any other source for deposit into the Fund, includi ng gifts and grants Historically, the amount offunding made available through the 211 Fund is unclear. Strategically, it likely be in the best interest of Chicago-metro 211 stakeholders to contin ue to work with DHS to access this funding source and develop additional funding opportunities.

Based on conversations with nationa1211 SMEs, partnering with corporate sponsors may lead to 211 mission creep. To avoid this, Chicago-metro 211 should not over-engineer its service offering to align with corporate initiarives. Rather Chicago-metro 211 should use its existing platform to provide leverageable services/insights consistent with its mission. All Chicago Partnership Opportunity Summary Catholic Charities Homelessness Prevention call center currently receives fundin g from All Chicago (a collaborative partnership of the Chicago Alliance, the Emergency Fund and The Learning Center established in 2013). All Chicago has recently formed as a merger between the Chicago Alliance and the Emergency Fund. Nome Brennan acts as CEO of All Chicago. And has suppor ted the Catholic Charities Homelessness Prevention ca11 center since its inception. Funding Opportunity The project team spoke with All Chicago leadership regarding its ongoing suppor t for the Homelessness Prevenrion call center. This support is a central cause for All Chicago. All Chicago views introduction of a 211 system into [Rephrase this sentence to avoid using the verb "partner" when referring to clients.], through Catholic Chariries, as a great opportunity that would likely increase the availability of All Network Opportunities Brennan previously helped 211 get its start in the State of Michigan and is a passionate 211 advocate. She indicates that she can provide assistance in helping to secure funding for Chicago-metro 211 primarily through facilitating introductions to key potential fenders as well as by providing vocal support for this initiative.

For both analyses, the project team calculated the net present value(NPV)of attributed benefits over 5 years and provided a range of sensitivities. For this analysis, financi al yield is defined as the quantifiable financial return realized through the implementation of a Chicag o-metro 211. Chicago-metro 211 Value Proposition ~ 42 Q y R~: Chicago-metro 211 Value Proposition, coj2t'd Tax Referral Value Proposition ~_i Our research of successful funding strategies has validated the importance of being able to measure the `~`=' impact of211 within communities. We have found that the most succes sful strategies were not only able to measure impact, but also able to capture and quantify 211's yield for specific initiatives. Estimating yields for I&R services related tax referral programs proved to be a powerf ul capture for other 211. operarions and was noted as an opportunity of interest for the Illinoi Depart s ment of Human Services. As an illustration of potential value, the project team has esrimated the applic able tax referral, tax refund, and earned income tax credit(EITC)impact that may be attributed to the operations of a 211 call center in Chicago-metro (Cook and DuPage Counties). Methodology Our analysis contains 7 critical drivers: call volume, number oftax referra ls sourced through 211, number of EITC referrals source through 211, observed annual tax refund , observed annual EITC refund, average cost per tax return, and portion of benefit realized by taxpayer/state that maybe attributed to 211. Note: please see appendixfor detailed methodology, assumptions and sensiti vity analysis. Findings Based on success realized in other major metropolitan cities, aChicago-metro 211 could help connect as many 21 thousand people annually to tax relief, or approximately 4.5% of expected 211 call volume. 211 Tax Referral Volume 600 25 ,,, soo 0y 0 aoo .~ zo 0 d Year 1 projecrions for successful referrals in Chicago-metro are estimated at 0.5% of call volume, or approximately 800 referrals. Referrals are expected to grow at 1.0%per year thereafter until reaching 4.5% by FY19. As experienced by other 211 call centers across the county, with a strong promotional campaign, referral percentages may grow as high at 7% at maturity. 15 300 io ~ 200 F N ioo FY15 FY16 FY17 ~~ Expeoted Cull Volume(Cook) FY18 FY19 _ _....:~ Expected Cell Voliane(Dupege) •• ..~~~~TexRefe[rels In Chicago-metro, it is expected that by FY19, approximately $52 millio n in tax refunds, $5 million in EITC and $3 million in tax assistance preparation services will be source d through 211 annually ($60 million in total). Based on realization in other major metropolitan cities, it is estimated that 5% of these benefits maybe directly attributed to the referral and pre-screening service s performed by Chicago-metro 211 call operators, or $2.6 million annually. Over the next five years, when inflation is considered, it is projected that Chicago-metro 211 maybe credited for bringing as much as $6 million back to the economies of Cook and DuPage counties.

'~l..p'.11 ' ~1 7:1I.;', ~ZG1C:', Chicago-metro 211 Value Proposition ~ 43 5-year (Discounted) Chicago-metro 211 Value Proposition, cont'd 911 Value Proposition The critical mission of a Chicago-metro 211 is to serve as aone-stop-shop to connect people in need with ~:~ the appropriate resources available. However, `'`s~` due to the lack of a 211 infrastructure in Chicago, this need is often unmet, and people are often unsure of where to locate resources. As a result, emergency resources, such as 911, are frequently over-burdened with non-emergency requests. Each year, Chicago 911 receives approximately 8 million calls. Per the National Emergency Number Association(NENA), approximately 30% of911 call volume narionally is considered non-emergency. Although NENA attributes a great majority of these ca11s to hang-ups and misdials, 911 is also used as an inappropriate access point for people searching for human services. Methodology The team's analysis contains 4 critical drivers: estimated 911 ca11 volume (inclusive of emergency and non-emergency categories), cost per call, expected percentage ofnon-emergency calls related to Human Services, and 911 costs (savings) attributable to 211. Note: please see appendixfor detailed methodology, assumptions and sensitivity analysis. Findings Based on the methodology and assumprions described above, and findings of other metropolitan cities, it was estimated that human service calls account for approximately 25% of all non-emergency service calls received by Chicago 911 each year. Implementation of a Chicago-metro 211 would reduce human service call volumes by as much as 30% in year 1 (53 thousand calls). Call volume impact is expected to increase 1%each year there after until reaching 34% in year 5(59 thousand calls).

Call savings are primarily attributed to a growing.number of callers who will choose 211 as their entry pint for human services instead of 911. This population of callers is expected to grow to over 59 thousand by FY19, accounting for $1.6 million in 911 savings per year.

Proposed Next Steps Strategy Throughout the course of the team's analysis, key strategic themes emerged as best practices to employ going forward. The chart below provides pre-implementation strategy advisement in three theme groups: funding, organizational and implementation. Q Collect and report 211 call data — doing soprovides ameans to verb 211 impact tofenders Q Negotiate multi-year contracts (when possible)from core fenders — this helps ensure sustainable 211 operations and allow the development team to concentrate on locating new funding opportunities Q Fund 211 through partnership of different organizations -this strategy tends to be more sustainable than thosefunded through a single entity Q Create 211 value propositions that address the specific interests of different stakeholder groups — 211 is a versatile tool to Impact the community, ~ Q Create a Quality Assurance department and follow up with 211 callers —this allows 211 leaders to understand the satisfaction ofsystem users and display outcome information tofenders Q Integrate Chicago -metro 211 with Chicago 311 in all areas where integration makes sense —Chicago 311 isfunded and supported by the City ofChicago, integration increases the likelihood offuture cityfunding Q Create a Business Development department focused on establishing relationships with potentia1211 partners — 211 organizations that prioritize business development have proven to be more sustainable Q Conduct a road show to engage important loc:il opinion leaders and stakeholders on the positive impact 211 introduction will bring to the community —A road show can help generate localfunding supportfrom and build consensus to influence political leadership Q Business Development and Operations Management should not be managed by a single person — 211 organizations that struggle to secure funding often do so as a consequence ofoverfocus on operations and under focus on business development Make the establishment of an updated and working database a top initial priority —Operationally a useable database is essential, and localpartners most often point to the database as afoundational requirement peretional stretagy(quality ess~aence development end business development roles) were not modeled es pazf. of Pheso I cost projectiore.

Organizational Strategy ''' Overview During the development ofthe business case, the project team interviewed 211 national SMEs,211 leadership and local stakeholders in an effort to gain insights on successful 211 organizational structures. As 211 is typically a local iniriarive, organization structure varies depending on interests and affiliations of stakeholders. Proposed Structure The project team has presented the below structure as guidance based on stakeholder feedback, specific to Chicago-metro. Key elements considered include: Entity Creation —Creation of two new entities beneath 211 Illinois: Chicago-metro 211 and DuPage 211. Combined entity creation would allow for over 70% of the Illinois population to access 211. Chicago-metro 211 Operation —Under the proposed organizational structure, Catholic Chariries assumes 211 operational responsibilities for Chicago-metro. Catholic charities currently operates the Homelessness Prevention call center and would expand operarions to include full I&R service offering. Additionally, overnight coverage for DuPage County 211 will be negotiated subject to the agreements of stakeholders. ■ Chicago-metro 211 Fundraising — LTW-MC will provide fundraising leadership for a Chicago-metro 211. Fundraising efforts will be inclusive of the development of new funding partnerships, and will be supplemented by the existing funding streams of the Homelessness Prevention call center. Chicago-metro 211 Leadership responsibilities —Impacted stakeholders (Catholic Charities, DuPage County, UW-MC), will reach an agreement on Chicago-metro 211 governance. 211 Illinois will provide oversight to Chicago-metro 211. ............................. ,~{~~' .~~.~~, ' ; .,t p~;::::i4: i:::i::::~:::::r:1?y ..:.::::::.:::rr.:;••:...,: .a:.,• r:.hv :.:::u:tC•:,:; .;,~,~.;•~.ftii{.: i :a`i,>.,^.:fi;:;;.'w"Q..':'4,i,.;'.,;f;.^..:v`y: 3i:,: :.'l.{K9T:4'/.{bY.2M: N..Cd!b.'L.. .. ..:: a:,:...,r:. ~''" .... .... y... .,xJ,.. i~~??:R'y':°~i~ ~6~r.)...l:C~•i. c..,.. w.u r3' '.N1.{t y. s:,f .:. f:i't,`<'•'^,r '..~4~ r' , '.:r...r.Sr,' •.,'..yav:v.,:..:.:.7•.'.+r ~:.4Y.•}vn..v,...!.....n,v}'.yy+;~•.y:' axr '.;3 , ~g%,.... .<: , .;rk:...w`.'e~..;;:;~:..^ ~::. :v'4tl5:9?W..Yl.M:N.Ln+:LM:n~{??MS..~ ~'h#)6]MLt i-0N+%WMCM.. ............................................... .......................................................... iiii '~. ~~i~~~ii~~~iiiitiii~~*'~iiti~~ ii'rS :: ~'~i1$i~i1~~i~=ii~~it ~~~ ~ ~ ;s:'# ~~~ ;7.~:? ;yr._,~..

Proposed Next Steps wR Business Case Conclusions Prior to beginning work on the business case, Chicago-metro 211 project stakeholders requested analysis to address two specific elements of the 211 initiative; the resolutions of these elements should give stakeholders enthusiasm to move forward with this initiative. First, UW-MC leadership expressed concern that funding responsibility for Chicago-metro 211 would likely be left to a single entity. The team has determined that this does not have to be the case; in fact, evidence shows that many successful 211s throughout the nation fund through partnerships. Locally, the team found that an appetite exists among key stakeholders to enter into a funding partnership with Chicago-metro 211. Second, UW-MC leadership requested that the project team develop materials to show the value of 211 to potential partners. Through research of established 211 costlbenefit analyses and the application local financial analysis, the team developed value illustrations that UW-MC can use going forward. Looking ahead, critical successes need to be achieved before implementation can commence. UW-MC will need to develop a fundraising plan and begin securing initial funding for implementation. As funding milestones are reached, critica1211 design components, specifically pertaining to governance and technology, need to be created, agreed upon and finalized by stakeholders. Success in these two areas represent the largest remaining hurdles for the establishment of Chicago-metro 211. It will be critical for UWMC leadership to remain highly focused on the 211 initiative and for local stakeholders to remain engaged and supportive. Proposed Next Steps X49 . . . . 1W?65a?2+iai ..

Call Volume Assumptions related to ca11 volumes for Cook and DuPage counties were defined in Phase I of our analysis. Call volume for Cook County was estimated to be 2.5% ofthe Cook County population in year 1, growing by 1.5%each subsequent year through year 5. Due to maturity of call center operations in DuPage County, call volume was estimated to be 6.2% of county population in year 1, and was inclusive of only overnight and weekend service agreements. After year 1, it was estimated that ca11 volume saturation would grow by 1%each year through year 5. Tax Referrals Sourced Through 211 Our referral percentiles are estimated based on analysis performed by the 211 Texas/LJnited Way Helpline (211 Houston). Based on surveys conducted at VITA sites in Texas, approximately 25 thousand individuals cited 211 Houston as the means through which they were successfully referred to VITA. In the year of the survey, 211 Houston received approximately 825 thousand calls. As reflected in its survey results, an estimated 0.5% of all VITA participants were referred to tax assistance by 211. Similar data captures from other 211 call center operations have shown tax assistance referral rates as high as 7% of tota1211 call volume. Our analysis assumed that 211 Chicago-metro could achieve a referral percentage of4.5%once 211 maturity was reached. To be conservative, our analysis has tax assistance referrals Ueginnuig at 1.5% in year 1, growing by 0.5%each subsequent year through year 5. Annual Illinois Tax Refund Average tax refunds for Cook and DuPage county were held constant through all years of the model due to data availability and consistency. Data used in our analysis was sourced from 2012 IRS data booklets. Per the IRS data, the total dollar amount of individual tax refunds received in the state of Illinois was $14.7 billion, inclusive of EITC. To arrive at average Illinois refund, ETTC ($2.4 billion) was subtracted from the total. This value was then divided by the total number of tax refunds awarded (5,184,043). Average federal refund was calculated at $2,375 for 2012. Annual EITC Refund Average EITC for Cook and DuPage county were held constant through all years of the model due to data availability and consistency. Data used in our analysis was collected from 2012 Illinois EITC tax statistics maintained by the IRS. Total EITC dollars rewarded was divided by total refunds given to arrive at average EITC per claim. EITC Eligibility Not all callers referred to tax assistance programs by a Chicago-metro 211 would be eligible for the EITC. Based on statistics maintained by the Brookings Institute, approximately 10% of all EITC claims within Cook and DuPage counties were prepared by Tax Assistance programs in 2011. As such, it was Appendix ~ 51 Appendix: Chicago-metro 211 Value Proposition, Tax ~efe~~al, cc~~zt'd estimated that approximately 10% of tax assistance referrals made through Chicago-metro 211 would Ue eligible for EITC. For mature call centers operations, eligibility has been observed as high as 30%. Tax Referral Benefit Attributed to 211 Our analysis attempts to take a conservative approach in determining an Tax Referral value that could be attributed to 211 services related to tax assistance. Instead of taking the sum of all Tax Referral refunds realized by 211 referrals, we applied a supply chain coefficient to better estimate appropriation. Based on studies conducted by mature 211 organizations, tax assistance referrals take approximately 3 minutes per call. As such, total Tax Referral refunds realized by 211 referrals were multiplied by 5%(3/60)to determine appropriate allocation of benefits. Total expected benefits were discounted over a 5-year period using annual expected inflation of 3.2%(average inflation 1913-2013)to determine present value. 21l CaL1 Volume l _ 482 thousand 21l Call Volume Clnim9 Sourced through :'.11 X 4 540 °~ Cluims.Sourced through 211 Avoragu Costs por'IaxPreparntion X $120 Supply Chain Ccicfficient X S% Tax Prep Attributnblc to 211 $130 thousand - 4S2 thousand - ' 211 CaI1 Volume '- 482 tfiousand X 459' 9'~ Claimv Snwced through 211 X.4:5 Average Refund X $2,375 Averag¢ rl"1'C Supply Ch~iin Cot~fflcient X 54o Iixpected L'ITC I~,ligibiliry X 10 -o S~PP~Y.Chain<)octficicnt XS':o T~~x Prep AUribuk~ble to 211 5250 lhousamJ RefunJs AUributaible to 211 52..5 million X $2,378 _ Tax Referral Model Driver Sensitivities Sensitivities for Tax Referral analysis were explored to illustrate the expected impact on the net present value(NPV)calculation of a Chicago-metro 211 on taxpayers/state. Sensitivities were explored for each ofthe seven model drivers: call volume, number oftax referrals sourced through 211, number of EITC referrals souxce through 211, observed annual tax refund, observed annual EITC refund, average cost per tax return, and portion of benefit realized by taxpayer/state that maybe attributed to 211. Sensitivity was also explored for interest rates (discount rates). Model drivers were defined as "High"(having great impact),"Medium",(having mild impact), and "Low:(Inconsequential impact). For each driver's analysis, current projected NPV is highlighted in blue. 211 Call Volume —Low Impact $5,55t,od6 $5,~61,3$A ~S~~~I.it~;t g6.3Q'l,3~~ ~S.'~81,334 55,S5~~s;1 K5,7ti3,s»9 ~5.97a,34s 5,a,3v5,~a~i xS.7G3,999 a5,i5ti,~9rS ~5,7(l,b4~l 9~S,~J7b.99y $(,~1>9,689 ~S.7tiC;,(,~Ll 55.558,tr.;~ 55,7(9,7,E9 X5,97),(37 56.A00,3.3::Based on a prior report conducted of by the Chicago Tribune, approximately 71% of tota1911 call volume is considered "Emergency" in nature. The remaining 29%may be approximated as follows: 9% non-emergency services, 13%hang-ups,4% misdials, and 4%pranks. The allocation between 911 call categories is consistent with other call center operations across the country and is illustrative ofthe burden that non-emergency calls place on 911 services. Cost(savings)Per Call Cost per call is calculated by taking the 2013 OEMC budget for its 911 ca11 center and dividing it by total 911 call volume. As the OEMC was unable to provide specific cost per ca11 statistics, the entire population of calls is used in this calculation. Percentage of Costs (savings)Attributed to 211 Cost savings attriburion per year are estimated based on two generally accepted assumptions: ■ A percentage ofnon-emergency 911 callers require human services ■ A percentage of callers who typically ca11911 for human services will call 211 instead (211 savings coefficient) Each year, approximately 9%(705 thousand) of x11911 calls are non-emergency service requests. It is estimated that of those calls, 25%(176 thousand) are related to human service. If 211 were a viable alternative, conservatively; 30°0(53 thousand) ~f these callers would dia1211 instead of 911. Savings are attributed to reduced calls volumes received by 911 based on existing 911 costs per ca11. Total expected savings were discounted over a 5year period using annual expected inflation of 3.2% (average inflation 1913-2013)to determine present value.

Critical Success Factors Proposed Next Steps PAGE 12 2014 Annual Report ~~ 2-1-1 Service in Illinois Presented to: Department of Human Services Illinois General Assembly February 12, 2015 To: Department of Human Services Illinois General Assembly Attached for your review is the annual report of 2-1-1 activity in Illinois. This report satisfies the requirement in Section 2.3.2 of the contract between the Department of Human Services and 2-1-1 Illinois; a corporation established to oversee the implementation of 2-1-1 telep hone service in Illinois. During 2014, service was established in thirty three (33) counties within the state. This more than doubled the number of counties with service and brought the number of counties with 2-1-1 service up to fifty three (53). In addition, 98 out of the 102 counties in the state are currently covered by a service agreement with a 2-1-1 call center. The counties without a provi der are Cook, DuPage, Grundy, and III. At the writing of this report discussions and activities are taking place in these additional areas. ~ With the agreements currently in place, finrenty seven percent(27% )of Illinoisans have service in their area. This number will continue to grow as the means to cover the implementation and ongoing costs of the servi ce are identified and allocated. The next major impact in the implementation is centered on the begin ning of service in the Chicagoland area. Lake County currently has a servi ce provider identified and has identified an available funding source. Cook and DuPage counties are actively studying the service and a study team will be making a recommendation of their findings upon completion. When these three counties are up and running, more than seventy-nine percent (79.8%) of residents will have this important service. 2-1-1 Illinois is proud to report the progress and success of the 2-1-1 system.

He's filling in for Matt McGill. You did a breakfast with him at Parkway Ballroom with about 20-25 people during the campaig n right at the end. He's active on social media and rarely will come out in opposition to our policies or initiativ es, but may use this as an opportunity to ask you a "real" question on violence last weekend or economic develop ment in the black community. I think if you mention the Blue 1647 in Englewood as an opportunity for small start ups to get support from an investor like Google to help people who have ideas and want to hire from the communi ty. You could also highlight the Black Contractors United meeting that you had and mention their participation in the riverwalk project. As far as the violence in the community,I think you say that all these lives matter and any number of lives lost or neighborhoods that are plagued by gun violence matter. We are doing our part from what we can do with summer jobs, re entry programs like the safer foundation on the west side and CTAs program with ex offenders to ensure that young people and people returning to the community have a chance at a future. Hope this helps.

Not 7:45 r'll call you shortly before to connect the call. Talking points are below. • Every Chicagoan should have access to affordable fresh fruits and vegetab les and resources for better, healthier lives. For this program, an out-of-service bus will be retrofitted by Growing Power to serve as a mobile market, making community stops throughout the week at public loeaUons including schools, health clinics, and connmunity centers, where residents can purchase locally-sourced fresh produce. • Over the last three years, YOUR efforts in this area mean that the number of Iow income Chicagoans living in food deserts has declinad by 40 percent. YOU have opened eight new grocery stores in underserved areas and another five are planning to open soon. City-operated farmers markets have nearly doubled since 2011, with a 60 percent increase in the number of markets accepting SNAP. • The City also created a new business license to allow the sale of fresh fruits and vegetables at free-standing produce stands throughout low-income areas ofthe city.

Thank you for your continued support of 10,000 Small Businesses. We wanted to share our latest impact report — Stimulating Small Business Growth — a third party assessment of the program's impact, which you should be receiving in the mail this week. We are excited to share the local impact that 10,000 Small Businesses is having in Chicago as the program's local results exceed our national averages. In fact,just six months after completing the program in Chicago, 72% of graduates of 10,000 Small Businesses reported increasing revenues and 50°% reported adding jobs. This independent review by Babson College takes a further look at how 10,000 Small Businesses is helping entrepreneurs across tie United States grow their businesses and create jobs. The report's topline figures include that 67% of participants have reported increasing their revenues just six months after graduating, which rises to 76% after 18 months and 46% of participants have reported creating net new jobs just six months after graduating, which rises to 57% after 18 months. Contributing to 10,000 Small Businesses impact on growth and job creation is the fact that the program maintains a 99% graduation rate and the fact that 84% of graduates do some form of business with a classmate. We are most proud that 10,000 Small Businesses is an alliance of over 100 federal, state, local, education and non-profit partners across the country. The success of 10,000 Small Businesses is a testament to the quality and dedication of each of these partners and each participating small business owner.

New California Law Would Secure Local GO Holders in Bankruptcies by Kvle Glazier JUL 17, 2015 3:24pm ET PHOEr1IX—California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a new law securing revenues for general obligation bonds issued by local governments — a move designed to protect bondholders in a bankruptcy proceeding. But rating agencies have mixed feelings about whether it will be of much benefit to holders of local GOs in the nation's most populous state. The law, known as SB 222, is designed to preserve bondholder rights to the tax revenues used to back bonds, which are received by a municipality after it enters bankruptcy proceedings. The bankruptcy code defines statutory liens like.those mandated under SB 222 as created by force of law, as opposed to typical consensual liens that are created by an agreement. "Secured" creditors of a bankrupt municipality are supposed to be first in line to recover their money, but California law was previously silent on whether local GOs were "secured" for that purpose. The new law removes that ambiguity. "Many have argued that the taxes levied to pay California GO bonds are 'special revenues' under the bankruptcy code, but this analysis has never been certain," said Omck,Herrington &Sutcliffe attorney John Palmer, who drafted SB 222. "This is the first time we have been able to say that GO bondholders are secured creditors in a municipal bankruptcy. Being a secured creditor in bankruptcy dramatically decreases the risk of nonpayment. This newfound certainty should permit investors and rating agencies to focus more narrowly on the tax-base as the credit for California GO bonds, and less heavily on issuers' general funds." State Sen. Mary Block, D-San Diego, introduced the bill earlier this year. It passed through both the Assembly and the Senate with strong support last month. The new law, which becomes effective on Jan. 1, is very similar to legislation enacted in Rhode Island in 2011 after Central Falls filed for Chapter 9 protection. California has been home to some high-profile bankruptcy proceedings, including the cities of Stockton, which emerged from Chapter 9 earlier this year, and San Bernardino, which has not yet completed the process. Moody's Investors Service was upbeat about the implications for holders of bonds sold by California issuers. "Generally speaking, the security for California local government GO bonds is a dedicated, unlimited, voter-approved property tax levy, the proceeds of which cannot be used for any purpose other than the bonds authorized by voters," Moody's analysts wrote. "The California Constitution makes the debt service levy separate from the property tax levied for operating purposes. State statute is nonetheless silent on whether GO investors would be secured in the event of a local government's bankruptcy filing, and case law on this matter is also very limited. The new law is positive for GO investors because it clearly establishes their secured status." Although Moody's views the bill as a credit positive, the agency said it would not likely have a "material effect" on the ratings of California local GOs. Fitch Ratings analysts had a conservative take on the law. "Revenues supported by a statutory lien are not free from the automatic stay of a municipality's general revenues once bankruptcy proceedings begin," Fitch said. "Rather, the statutory lien prevents the municipality in a bankruptcy from generally diverting the revenues subject to the statutory lien. The statutory lien does not prevent use of the revenues in the bankruptcy process as long as adequate protection for recovery is offered to bondholders benefiting from the statutory lien. These protections will not guarantee full or timely repayment, only potentially higher recovery." Palmer said that agencies no longer having to look as closely at general funds due to the assurance of a statutory lien on revenues could be a big positive for issuers paying too much because of general fund weaknesses. "This would potentially save taxpayers billions of dollars over the time," he said. Henry J.

October 12th 30 minutes or less .. . To: Rahm Emanuel > Cc: Glen Tullman > Rahm: ---- ---- -- Good to talk with you last week and sorry for both the delayed response and the inability to help. That said, we can surely work together on some other very beneficial projects. I have one that could create some interesting employment opportunities on the south side and I continue to work on ideas to lower the Chicago's healthcare costs with Dan Widawsky. Separately, you know I'm always promoting Chicago as a conference destination and I'm pleased that Oliver Wyman has again chosen to bring more than 500 senior healthcare executives to Chicago for their innovation conference this year. There was some thought of moving it to a different city but we kept it here, again! So, this October,from the 12th-14th, 500 senior health industry leaders (including 100+ CEOs and an additional 150+ C-suite executives) will convene in Chicago for the Oliver Wyman Health Innovation Summit. I'll be speaking on the second night, on stage with Karen DeSalvo, Acting Assistant Secretary for Health at HHS and currently the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. We would be honored if you would provide the official conference welcome address on Monday evening, October 12th. The welcome address would provide an opportunity for you to highlight Chicago-based health innovation and the tremendous potential that exists for healthcare businesses to establish new operations or expand into the Chicago market. The Summit is an invitation-only event convening cross-industry senior health leaders with demonstrated commitment to new models of healthcare and a readiness to embrace change; 12 industry sectors are represented, including employers, capital markets, government and retail. Leading organizations in attendance include notable Chicago organizations like Advocate, Rush, Walgreens, Allscripts, HCSC and my firm, 7Wire Ventures as well as our chronic disease management company, Livongo Health, and a series of health payers and employers like United Health Group, Aetna, HCA, Walmart, Target, Comcast, Cerner, Facebook, and McKesson, to name a few. ~:r~'~ Oliver Wyman has chosen Chicago again for this annual event primarily because they believe Chicago has the right mix of players and attributes to become one of the Nation's leading digital healthy cities over the next decade. They envision "Health Market 2.0" as aconsumer-centric, technology-enabled, value-ba sed healthcare system that achieves superior health outcomes for significantly lower total costs. And O/W is already working with a series of local innovators to drive positive change: One Medical Group, Oak Street Health, JenCare, 1871 /MATTER, Sandbox, 7Wire Ventures and AVIA, as well as, more established pioneers like Advocate, Rush, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Allscripts. The Rush leadership team will be hosting an immersio n tour on Monday afternoon —sharing their story of innovation with fifty senior leaders from across the country. Ijoin Oliver Wyman in believing that the annual OWHIC Health Innovation Summit will help move Chicago onto the national stage as a health innovator and leader in making healthcare more accessible, affordabl e and personalized for Chicago-landers. And I know that our out-of-town guests would appreciate and enjoy a warm welcome from you. Can we make this happen? Would love to confirm it soon so we can promote your name as speaker. a We can work with your team to prepare comments or help in any way necessary.

Mayor Emanuel, It is such a pleasure to connect with you! I attended your keynote address at the NewSchools Summit and was so impressed by your personal and professional commitment to education excellence for all students. As led explained, we've worked hard to build Revolution Foods to be the only national provider of healthy, fresh, delicious, all natural, affordable meals for the most food insecure students in the US (students who truly rely on school meals as their primary source of nutrition year round). We would absolutely love to serve your community in Chicago and see a world of opportunity to raise the bar for student impact across the board in charters and districts. We also have a strong commitment to healthy jobs and have twice been named (by Harvard's ICIC) as the second fastest growing inner city job creator in the US! We are currently loving the opportunity to work with the Greater Chicago Food Depository and Kate Maehr's team this Summer(what an amazing organization and leader!) and have received fantastic community reviews regarding our meals and quality of program in the 200+ sites served. We are in the process of preparing our proposal in the bid process for the year round program. As Jed explained, it's extremely tough for a business focused on delivering a quality, affordable program for kids and communities to enter Chicago given the low bid environment(vs an environment where programs can have some autonomy to choose the best option for their stakeholders). I would truly love the chance to connect with you regarding the future opportunity we see to serve your incredible city and afford ALL students access to quality, delicious, affordable meals and the path to becoming lifelong healthy eaters! Given the urgency of the bid cycles and our Board's investment decisions for new market expansion, I'd love the chance to meet at your earliest convenience. Thanks so much for the consideration and hope you are having a wonderful Summer!

As we discussed, I'm proud to introduce you to Kristin Richmond the CEO of Revolution Foods. In just 6 years she has built the leading innovator in food service for schools nationwide -now with 1,300 employees, delivering from 7 commissaries serving over 1.5 million meals per week to 15 metropolitan areas. 75% of our students are frdl and are now getting the benefits of truly nutritious food as opposed to frozen, preservative laden, high sugar and salty offerings that our kids have gotten used to. We are price competitive in a large % of sites where we deliver our hot, fresh meals and have recently expanded our breakfast and dinner offerings to the neediest of our country's families. In Chicago we have a timely effort- We currently have a contract with Greater Chicago Food depository (Kate Maehr, CEO)which is where we are co located. This contract serves 210 sites across city. I hear that providing wrap around services/ healthy suppers to food insecure Chicago families in the summer is a pet program of yours. As step 1 we're working on winning and expanding this contract for the coming school year. Bid out now. We need to get the support of the ISBE (Illinois state board of Ed)to make change to low bid environment which tends to support far inferior nutrition to our students and families. Providing calories is one metric, but providing nutrition to the neediest is our true goal to fight obesity and encourage better outcomes in schools. We want to serve CPS down the line and many charters! The enormous charter growth city which is a perfect fit for our offering. Happy to help in any way you guys see fit.

I know it has been a busy summer! I wanted to let you know that we're hosting an event in Chicago on October 19th for National Digital Citizenship Week in partnership with Chicago Public Schools. This great afternoon will bring parents, community members, and students together to showcase students' digital citizenship skills — an area of focus that's particularly important to both CPS and Common Sense. It would be terrific for the kids and community if you could possibly attend to show your support. Even better, you could share your own experiences with social media as well as answer student questions and pose some questions of your own. I've attached more details here. Needless to say, it would be great to have you attend this exciting event. So please let us know how best to follow up and hope to talk and see you soon.

She then engaged youth in an advanced conversation about visual literacy, color theory, and the politics of space. Amanda urged the students to see themselves as social change agents through creativity and to take ownership ofthe conditions in their neighborhoods and the entire city. The students responded with wit, street and book smarts about subjects of color, race, violence, uneven distributions of wealth, community, and housing. After a robust, and sometimes heated debate, youth landed on their unique color palette. While they understood the concept ofthe project, they struggled a bit with the idea offinding colors that were positive reflections ofthings they see every day in their environment. A lot of what is in their consciousness has to do with Swissher tobacco products and packaged or fast food. With some guidance and reminders about details, the group settled on things that were part ofthe natural environment including flowers, the sidewalk, the sky, sunset clouds, grass, etc. The colors that you will see painted on the houses today were selected by the youth that are part of One Summer Chicago and reflect their community and cultural representations and understanding.

This memo is being shared with Rush staff this morning. Big news! To: All Rush From: Larry J. Goodman, MD,Chief Executive Officer, Rush University Medical Center and President, Rush University Peter Butler, President, Rush University Medical Center Re: Community Investment and Expansion of Rush Campus Date: July 30, 2015 Rush has been proud to call Chicago's West Side our home for 140 years. Each and every day, we focus on how we best can meet the evolving needs of the diverse communities we serve, whether it is through outstanding patient care, education and research or through our community outreach. Being a community partner is not just something we do — it's at the heart of what Rush is. With that community engagement in mind, we are proud to tell you that later today, the City of Chicago will announce that Rush will acquire seven of the 11 acre site of the current Malcolm X College. We will acquire the site once the college moves next year to its new location directly across the street on Jackson Boulevard. The other four acres will be acquired by the Chicago Blackhawks to create a practice facility for the team that also will be available to youth from throughout the Chicago area. As you know, we have invested in our campus Transformation over the last 10 years. Now we are creating a new master plan to guide us in reaching our strategic goals over the next decade. We need to ensure we have the facilities and campus environment necessary to fulfill our mission and vision. This includes addressing the needs of Rush University, which has doubled in size in the last 10 years, enrolling nearly 2,500 students. Since the University opened nearly 45 years ago,the way that students are educated has changed dramatically. In addition to utilizing facilities and technology to support new models of education, we also need to consider the experiential needs of current and future students and faculty. We view this new site as an opportunity to meet some of these needs. We worked hard on Rush's new Tower to provide an exceptional experience for our patients, and now we need to be equally diligent in providing an exceptional environment and campus experience for our students and faculty. They expect an innovative environment in which to work and where they can seek more educational and learning partnerships with community organizations and other institutions. As we continue to evolve our master plan over the next few months, along with the university's strategic plan, we will evaluate how this visible new site can support some of these needs. Another exciting aspect of occupying this new location is that it will enhance collaboration with Malcolm X College. We deeply value the college as an academic and community partner that is working jointly with Rush to help educate the next generation of health care professionals. We will continue to build on our strong partnership to advance educational and economic opportunities for young Chicagoans. Rush also shares the same aspirations with our neighbors on the site, the Chicago Blackhawks. Together, we see opportunities to provide health, wellness and educational activities for young people from throughout Chicago. The Blackhawks, like Rush, are committed to the growth and revitalization of the West Side. We will continue to provide you with updates about how we will use this new site as our planning process gets underway.

The "collaborative proposal" under the Chicago Infrastructure Trust program has been in front of Mike Miretti and Steve Beitler for some time(we know Steve is leaving CIT, but hope to meet his replacement, Leslie Darling, soon). There are a couple of things of "encouragement"from your office that would help the CIT speed things along. Glad to discuss with you or the appropriate deputy on your staff.

AUSL's Solorio Academy High School should have an IB program so as to attract stronger students to its mix.

CPS needs to reorganize some of its neighborhood high schools. CPS should close a number of them, consolidate, and seek enrollments between 1,000 and 1500 students. Each neighborhood high school should have an IB program or a modest selective enrollment program to achieve a balance of student abilities in the mix.

Below is our proposal for your discussion with Hewlett Packard and CDW about funding for YOUmedia. Chicago Public Library—YOUmedia Expansion Proposal Proposal Over the next three years, Chicago Public Library will need $2.5M in private support to assure young Chicagoans in every community have access to leading-edge, mentor led youth development. This investment in YOUmedia would support: New, weekly career programming at 12 neighborhood sites -This will enable CPL to add mentors to deliver hands-on learning focused on engineering, computer programming, science and digital design and production and guide participants toward related post-secondary education and careers. 30 Pop Up YOUmedia programs — YOUmedia will support a mobile team to create Pop Up workshops and events to reach additional youth throughout the city. Four additional YOUmedia sites —CPL will add YOUmedia centers in four additional branch libraries to make the program more accessible to youth throughout Chicago. 1. 2. 3. 4. Altgeld Branch (13281 5 Corliss Ave, Chicago, IL 60827) Roosevelt Branch (1101 West Taylor Street, Chicago, IL 60607) Whitney Young (7901 South King Drive, Chicago, IL 60619) North Side location (TBD) Background Launched in 2009 as a demonstration site for how teens learn in the digital age, YOUmedia has evolved into a highly effective national model that has been replicated in libraries, museums and other learning institutions in over 20 cities. YOUmedia has become the largest mentor-led, drop-in teen learning program in Chicago, serving young people in a dozen libraries throughout the city. Based on the notion that new digital tools and networks allow for unprecedented interaction, problem solving and self-directed activity to support diverse forms of learningl,YOUmedia has been heavily studied and shown to improve teen participants' learning outcomes.In a 2013 University of Chicago study, youth reported more involvement with their chosen interests than they had when they first came to YOUmedia and that their participation helped improve their academic skills, crediting YOUmedia with helping them communicate better with adults and improve their writing skills. Participants reported that YOUmedia had helped them understand more about opportunities available to them after high school. This is enabled by the fact that teens see YOUmedia overwhelmingly as a welcoming space where they feel emotionally and physically safe and where they feel they belong.Z The newest six YOUmedia locations have begun to allow us to reach more deeply into communities with gaps in positive activities for youth. This program expansion and the Library's firm commitment to outreach with high schools and community partners resulted in a 50% increase in program participants from 2,400 in 2013 to 3,700 in 2014. Because YOUmedia draws teens from the entire city, youth from high risk communities are engaged in participatory learning alongside teens from stable backgrounds in 3 Ito, et. al., Hanging Out Messing Around, Geeking Out: Kids Living and Lea~ninq with New Media(2010) Z Sebring, et. al. Teens, Digital Media, and the Chicago Public Library a report of the University of Chicago Consortium on Chicago School Research (2013) an environment that emphasizes respect and trust. Diversity in participant backgrounds is an important and unique element of the YOUmedia program model. Program Design YOUmedia programming is designed to help teens establish positive adult relationships as they build skills and gain academic and personal confidence. As an interest-driven, mentor and peer supported learning environment and leading-edge technology space, YOUmedia operates as a drop-in, out-ofschool program for middle and high school teens. Interactive, hands on, project-based learning opportunities are designed and led by librarians and mentors, who share their professional expertise, be it writing, photography, science digital design or coding, through design challenges and workshops. YOUmedia engages urban teens in robust learning experiences that shape their postsecondary options and actions by emphasizing: • Real exposure to postsecondary pathways: Connection to working professionals in careers related to teen interests and access to postsecondary institutions create visible, actionable pathways to college and career. • Mentorship: Teen learning is supported by strong relationships with adult mentors who design and lead workshops and one-on-one coaching sessions to help teens develop skills and life plans. Mentors bring a variety of professional perspectives and college experiences to the program and are supported through professional development focused on adolescent development and support. • Project-based learning: Tangible videos, music, written work, games and other products created by teens, displayed in public spaces and critiqued by peers and professionals make learning deep and relevant.

Very good to see you, as always. Alderman Burns —Very glad to be connected with you. Autism Speaks is hosting an event in your Ward in November called Early Access to Care (EAC). Below, I provide some high level info on the event and I would be eager to discuss this further with you at your convenience. Please let me know how you would like to proceed. Best regards, Eric Autism Speaks'3rd Chicagoland Early Access to Care (EAC) event is happen ing on Saturday, November 7th, 2015. These events have provided guidance and direction to over 50families regardi ng early detection and access to services. We are now in the planning processfor this event, which we hope will ultimat ely reduce the age of diagnosis and increase access to high-quality early intervention for all children on the autism spectru m. The intent of the Early Access to Care Initiative is to provide information and detection to racial ethnic minority populations and those oflower socioeconomic status. As you may be aware, the prevalence ofautism is now estimates at 1:68. As this number continues to increase, it remains incredibly difficult for parents to learn where to go and what to do. While parents can detect symptoms as early as 12 months of age, the average age of diagnosis is 41/2 years. There remains a serious gap between the time at which intervention can be made available and the time at which o diagnosis is made. It is our hope that through programs such as EAC, Autism Speaks will be able to provide the earliest possible identification, and expedite early intervention to families of underserved communities. This year we arefocusing on the African American population, primarily on Chicago's South Side in the Bronzeville area. We are veryfortunate to have partnered up with the Resource Center for Autism and Developmental Delays(RCADDJ. They have agreed to host our next EAC event at their location on S Cottage Grove, and theirfacility is a warm, inviting, and friendly environment. -----Original Message----From: Will Burns [mailto Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2015 4:26 PM To: Rahm Emanuel Cc: Eric Chern; William Will Burns Subject: Re: MRE: Thanks for connecting us.

From: Rahm Emanuel [mailto:mavor_re@rahmemail.com] Sent: Friday, August 28, 2015 3:28 PM To: Powell, Dina [EO] Subject: Dina -This is from today's event. Thought you should see. 10,000 Small Businesses program thriving in Chicago SUN TIMES // Fran Spielman // August 28,2015 Most of them came to learn how to grow their small businesses and adapt to the everchanging marketplace. Others wanted to network and "learn to be a better boss." At least one entrepreneur wanted to figure how to delegate so she could someday "take a vacation." The 10,000 Small Businesses program that Mayor Rahm Emanuel persuaded Goldman Sachs to bring to Chicago is celebrating its fourth anniversary with a bang: a new class and a new report that shows more than 70 percent of the 3401oca1 entrepreneurs who came before them used the lessons learned to increase revenues in the six months after graduation. That's compared to an average of 45 percent for the 5,000 graduates nationwide. On Friday, Emanuel addressed the thirteenth class at the Harold Washington Library before they embark on what is a unique opportunity for the entrepreneurs lucky enough to be a part of, what can easily be called a boot camp for small business bankrolled by investment banking heavyweight Goldman Sachs. Every Friday and Saturday for the next 15 weeks, they will attend day-long classes at Harold Washington College for 100 hours of customized training in such critical areas as marketing, human resources, accounting, negotiations and how to navigate the bureaucra tic maze of government contracts. "The whole goal was to take all the advice and professionalism that Goldman Sachs provides to the Fortune 1000 throughout the country and throughout the world and bring it to the small businesses of the city of Chicago," said Emanuel, who marked the occasion by appointing a Small Business Advisory Council charged with developing small business growth strategy for reducing red tape and expanding access to capital. "And I know one group of people who are going to be very happy: your family members. Because what you're doing will no longer be on the kitchen table or the dining room table. They're going to get you out into your businesses and professionalize them and take what you're dreaming of and thinking of and helping you build the American dream." The mayor added,"If you ever get cynical about America,just come to one of these [small business seminars]. Every one of you give an inspiration to taking a dream, an idea, sticking with it and seeing it all the way through. Obviously, we want to see your revenue grow and see you hire more people, which is the ultimate. But, you are the backbone of our ~`~ neighborhood economy throughout the city of Chicago." Christopher Keogh, regional head of private wealth management for Goldman Sachs in Chicago, was among a group of Goldman employees who interviewed the first "cohort" or class to graduate from 10,000 Small Businesses program. "I keep coming back because there's nothing that I come across in my day-to-day life that's as inspirational as this," Keogh said. "The courage that all of you display in starting these businesses and wanting to grow is just immense. We know that small businesses are what drives the economic growth of this city and the potential for future employment. So, really the thanks go to all of your for entrusting us to be of help and give advice. In advance, I want to thank you for committing your time away from loved ones, away from your businesses to help grow your respective companies." Emanuel made his fortune in investment banking. Shortly after taking office, he lobbied Goldman Sachs to add Chicago to the program it had already launched in New York, Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans and Long Beach, Calif. The mayor delivered, with an assist from his longtime friend and adviser-turned U.S. Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker who was, at the time, a member of the Goldman Sachs National Advisory Board for 10,000 Small Businesses. In Chicago, the 10,000 Small Businesses initiative was to provide $20 million worth of loans to small businesses that often have a tough time accessing capital. The remaining $5 million went to the Chicago City Colleges to provide the customized training. During Friday's inaugural session, 38 participating entrepreneurs with a combined, 621 employees rose to introduce themselves and declare their goals for the Small Business University, "I'm here in the program to figure out a formal model for growth and I really need to hire more people and turn them into mini-me's so I can someday take a vacation," said Sherrie Hablitzel, co-founder of Kahoots Creative Group, a web design and marketing company in Ravenswood. Diana Rodriquez is the owner of a ServiceMaster franchise that does fire and water restoration for commercial and residential properties. Her goal is to grow her business by learning more about financing, human resource development and hiring. "And also how to just become a better leader and build leaders as well so that I, too, can take a vacation one day," she said.

I called the Mayor on this. Of course he ignored my call. I talked to Forrest- who you graciously connected me to-well before it became the public issue it is. The community has a great plan-and the reason they took this action is because the Board will make a decision to close the school or give it to one of2 private contractorsboth of whom have far inferior plans. For 5 years this community has been trying to turn around Dyett and they have been stymied at every turn. It is common knowledge that the alderman and KOCO have huge tension--but at the end ofthe day its the Mayor who runs the schools. If charters and private contractors with far worse proposals gets schools in Chicago, why not let a community which took this great respy,and a great strategy have a community public school.. This is not a stunt by Jitu. They are passionate about this.. And they are fully supported by several groups, and clery and us.. They will come to DC this week and make it a national issue. And although I strongly suggested they go to Duncan first, I believe they will ask the President for direct intervention... So I am asking you to help..

Dear Mr. Ferguson: With extreme pleasure and gratitude, I write a letter of recognition for Ms. Denise Jones, Custodial Manager for Fiske Elementary School. Due to Denise's leadership and organizational skills, relationship building expertise, team management moxie, and an overall commitment to the excellence towards customer service, Denise lead her custodial team to victory by meeting the expectation of the Aramark cleaning project schedule for Fiske School. The Summer Bridge program created a challenge in scheduling for the Aramark summer cleaning project based on the fact that every classroom in the building was in use; Fiske had over 400 students in attendance for summer school. Additionally, the Fiske facility is comprised oftwo conjoined buildings with a total of 25 washrooms, 53 classrooms, 7 additional offices, etc., gymnasium, library, lunchroom, and 6 staircases and corridors; the cleanup was completed within a 2 week and 1 day turnaround. Moreover, Denise emailed me weekly updates informing me of the process, status and scheduled time lines for completion. In summary, as principal, I have institutionalized aCulture ofPride as it pertains to the cleanliness of my building. It is of the utmost importance to me that the engagement of teaching and learning and collaboration take place in a "clean" culture and climate. Denise and I work very well together; she holds the same standards of high expectation for her custodial team as I do my children, faculty and staff. I trust that Denise Jones is deemed as a valued employee within the Aramark organization. Educationally, ~-~~ Cynthia J. Miller, Principal Fiske Elementary IB Candidacy School 6020 S.

Dear Mr. Ferguson: With extreme pleasure and gratitude, I write a letter of recognition for Ms. Denise Jones, Custodial Manager for Fiske Elementary School. Due to Denise's leadership and organizational skills, relationship building expertise, team management moxie, and an overall commitment to the excellence towards customer service, Denise lead her custodial team to victory by meeting the expectation of the Aramark cleaning project schedule for Fiske School. The Summer Bridge program created a challenge in scheduling for the Aramark summer cleaning project based on the fact that every classroom in the building was in use; Fiske had over 400 students in attendance for summer school. Additionally, the Fiske facility is comprised oftwo conjoined buildings with a total of 25 washrooms, 53 classrooms, 7 additional offices, etc., gymnasium, library, lunchroom, and 6 staircases and corridors; the cleanup was completed within a 2 week and 1 day turnaround. Moreover, Denise emailed me weekly updates informing me ofthe process, status and scheduled time lines for completion. In summary, as principal, I have institutionalized aCulture ofPride as it pertains to the cleanliness of my building. It is of the utmost importance to me that the engagement of teaching and learning and collaboration take place in a "clean" culture and climate. Denise and I work very well together; she holds the same standards of high expectation for her custodial team as I do my children, faculty and staff. I trust that Denise Jones is deemed as a valued employee within the Aramark organization. Educationally, Cynthia J. Miller, Principal Fiske Elementary IB Candidacy Schoo( 6020 S.

The municipal bond market rallied considerably on the news, with yields on Chicago General Obligation bonds falling by 10 to 15 basis points and prices rising commensurately. Best, Chris According to today's Chicago Sun-Times newspaper: ` "Mayor Rahm Emanuel is poised to raise property taxes by $500 million for police andfire pensions and school construction and impose agarbage-collection fee to generate $100 million more, City Hall sources said Wednesday. The mayor's 2016 budget also wil!include a tax on e-cigarettes and other smokeless tobacco products —roughly equivalent to the $7.17 tax slapped on a pack ofcigarettes purchased in Chicago — and a $1 a ride surcharge on Uber and other ride-hailing services. `~'>~? "The 60 percent increase in the city's property tax levy, along with a garbagefee, ride-hailing surcharge and smokeless tobacco tax, make up the largest collection of tax andfee hikes Chicagoans have ever seen. But City Hal!sources said Emanuel is determined to eliminate the city's structural deficit, put police andfire pensions on solidfooting and eliminate risky financial practices that his predecessor and political mentor,former Mayor Richard M. Daley, used to mask the true cost of city government." "Sources said the 2016 budget that Emanuel will present to the City Council on Sept. 22 will include a $450 million property tax increasefor police andfire pensions the mayor once hoped to shore up with revenuesfrom an elusive Chicago casino. In addition, Emanuel will ask aldermen to adopt a separate levy of$50 million to bankroll school construction and pay off old projects." "...Chicago property taxes are unrealistically low when compared with ratesfor similarly sized homes inmost suburbs." Title of Article: Emanuel to seek $500 million property tax hike Date: 9/2/15 Source: Sun-Times Mayor Rahm Emanuel is poised to raise property taxes by $500 million for police and fire pensions and school construction and impose agarbage-collection fee to generate $100 million more, City Hall sources said Wednesday. The $500 million property tax increase will cost the owner of a home valued at $250,000 roughly $500 more each year. The garbage fee —widely viewed as a back-door property-tax hike —will be a monthly assessment of roughly $11 to $12 per household. http://chica~o.su ntimes.com/news/7/71/928338/emanuel-seek-500-miIIion-property-taxhike Title of Article: Emanuel set to call for largest property tax hike in modern Chicago history Date: 9/3/15 Source: Chicago Tribune Mayor Rahm Emanuel is set to call for the largest property tax increase in modern Chicago history to raise enough money to make a major pension payment for police and firefighters next year, the mayor's City Council floor leader and a City Hall source told the Chicago Tribune late Wednesday. The mayor also plans to push a new garbage collection tax, a new per-ride fee on taxis and ride-hailing services such as Uber and a new tax on electronic cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products. http://www.chicaeotribune.com/news/local/aolitics/ct-rahm-emanuel-property-tax-hikemet-0903-20150902-storv.htm ~ Christopher Mier CFA ~ Loop Capital Managing Director Analytical Services Division Loop Capital Markets 111 West Jackson Blvd., Suite1901 ~ Chicago, IL 60604 Direct Tel: 312.356.5840(FaY: 312.913.4928 ~ Toll Free: 888.294.8898 Email; Christopher.mier(a,loopcapital.com ~ www.loo ca ital.com Jim Reynolds ~ Loop Capital Chairman &Chief Executive Officer 111 West Jackson Blvd., Suite 1901 ~ Chicago, IL 60604 Direct Tel: 312.913.4901 ~ Fax: 312.913.4928 ~ Toll Free: 888.294.8898 Email:jim.revnolds ,loopcavital.com ~ www.loo~capital.com Loop Capital is a registered trademark of Loop Capital goldie s, LLC.

We remain so proud of what was achieved, and write to you today to share what we witnessed as well as the successes, challenges and next steps. For those of you unable to attend, the day was as emotional as it was productive. One of those rare moments when problems are met with solutions in front of your eyes. The young Chicagoans we had the honor of meeting were incredibly impressive. Each showed up with his or her story, yet with no sense of entitlement. Everything from their attire to their attitude s revealed a willingness to do whatever it took to pave a better future for themselves. These kids just want a chance, an open door. And when the doors opened that day—in the form of interviews, career advice, conversations with role models,job offers and more—the young people walked through them with professionalism, appreciation and raw joy. Together,the Coalition, Cook County and the City of Chicago orchestrated so much more than a job fair. We created an experience that imprinted upon thousands of young men and women the notion that they, too, are worthy of dignity, respect and hope. Through the quality of the entire experience our young guests felt the authenticity of our commitment to them. Even those who left without a job offer left believing they were worthy of one. What we achieved was not charity. It was good business. The feedback from participating companies and coalition members emphasized the preparedness of the job applicants to the high quality and variety of the career resources available. CEOs expresse d gratitude for being included, and agreed that they were wiser after sitting and talking with young people. For these reasons and more,the day exceeded everyone's expectations. We must stay the course. The Chicago Fair &Forum raised the bar on what is possible to do for and with Opportunity Youth in our country. In a single day, young lives began to be rewritten. The next chapters are in all of our hands. As members of the coalition, we have a responsibility to open more doors for America's young people—and keep them open. So, how do we move forward? How to we maximize Chicago's momentum and create long-term change for Opportunity Youth in Chicago and in our country? How do we apply and scale the successes and lessons? These are the questions that the coalition is committed to answering. (~ What We Achieved The event revealed an inspiring truth: young men and women in our country have the will to work and the potential to succeed. However,they need the opportunities—jobs, professional development, skills training, mentors,support services—that only a coalition of public and private entities can provide. In that way, what we are doing is also unprecedented. Never before have companies, government leaders, community-based organizations(CBOs)and foundations worked togethe r so collaboratively to connect young people with employers and professional development opportunities. The unique combination of resources and support the Chicago event provided proved a potent formula. As Veronica Herrero, senior director at One Million Degrees, shared from one young person,"It's not just about getting a job, it's a feeling of specialness ... [that] everyone is rooting forme." By several measures,the Chicago Opportunity Fair &Forum was a success: • We reached and established relationships with thousands of young people. By design, we identified and registered 5,000 young men and women in Chicago, including 3,500 who came in search of employment and career guidance. • We connected youth with leading American companies, and created jobs: More than 800 job offers were extended on the day of the event. All told, 1,500 young people interviewed with 32 corporations for jobs in retail, manufacturing,food service, technology and other industries. • We designed an experience worthy of the young people we hosted: Attendees had access to nearly 70 companies and community-based organizations' booths as well as 30 workshops; 15 inspirational stage performances; and countless one-on-one interactions with business leaders, career experts, artists, athletes and entertainers. • We gave them support, tools and hope: Young people who did not leave with a job offer left with information, resources, a new network of support and confidence to move their careers forward. • Leaders arrived with open minds and open hearts: More than 10 coalition CEOs met directly with young people, increasing their understanding of this population's potentia l, while solidifying their commitment in the coalition's initiative. • We are bringing the country along with us:#StartSomewhere trended in social media, kicking off a national campaign that will be instrumental in elevating the voices of young people and changing the national dialogue around employing Opportunity Youth. ~' ..,. ~, The Chicago Opportunity Fair &Forum would not have been possible without the incredibly hard work of you, our coalition members, as well as local organizations committed to Chicagoland's youth. Together, we've done a tremendous amount of good. Now, we must follow up with sustained support. Going Forward: Reimagining the Model of Youth Employment The Chicago Opportunity Fair &Forum was only the beginning of our long-term initiative to change the ways cities and the private sector engage with each other on behalf of Opportunity Youth—America's 5.6 million 16- to 24-year-olds not working or in school, but whose participation in the economy is fundamental to our country's future. Ultimately, the 100,000 Opportunities Initiative will provide a blueprint to transform how employers, pi►ilanthropic organizations, workforce development agencies and communitybasedorganizations engage to provide more pathways to career development and employmentfor Opportunity Youth. This process began the day after the Opportunity Fair &Forum,on August 14, when event coordinators and coalition partners shared observations, learnings and recommendations for future activities in other cities. These recommendations and lessons learned will be used to develop a roadmap for the future. In Chicago, a new foundation is already being set. Corporate members and leaders of the 100,000 Opportunities Initiative, along with The Aspen Institute's Forum for Community Solutions, are partnering with the Office of the Mayor, Cook County and local workforce development agencies. Together, they are working to create and implement job development and retention programs to help youth access jobs and thrive in and beyond entry-level roles. The socio-economic benefits of getting young people on a productive path to employment will create immediate and long-term impact for the Chicagoland, as well as for our nation. Chicago was a critical first step, but it was just a step. All of the partners that worked so hard to make the event successful must remain committed to continuing our collaboration to ensure more positive outcomes for the impressive youth who attended and the many others who wished they had. i ~~ What we are doing is not easy, but it is imperative—as is your ongoing engagement. INSERT CONTACT NAMES AND NUMBERS IN CHICAGO AND/OR FOR NATIO NAL COALITION. The coalition and the Office of the Mayor and Cook County are honore to d have begun this journey in Chicago, whose legacy will continue to be "the city that works."

I'll preface this with I totally understand if you are unable or uncomfortable involving yourself with this. \,' Last November, our company was acquired by Galls. Galls is the nation's largest supplier of uniforms and equipment to law enforcement agencies. My role is VP of Retail Operations, which translates to responsibility `'( ` for 301ocations(and growing). We have developed a business model that generates significant savings by reducing a lot of the frictional costs associated with purchasing uniforms. The"B2B" platform developed by Galls allows organizations to have dedicated websites where the agency can control how uniforms are purchased while eliminating much of the administrative costs associated with traditional buying processes. We have over 1,000 public safety customers on dedicated B2B sites. They range in size from 20 offcer organizations to some of the nation's largest including Atlanta PD and Broward County Sheriff's Office. We have identified the Chicago Police Department as an ideal candidate for this approach. The 12,000 CPD O~'icers currently receive an $1,800 annual uniform allowance for an annual expenditure of $21,600,000. Officers are responsible for purchasing specified uniforms and pay "retail" as they shop at several locations around the region or online. We believe switching to a program with a dedicated supplier using the B2B platform could generate savings of over seven million dollars. Currently, the money provided to officers for their uniforms are subject to Federal and State income tax. Additionally, the City is not receiving the benefit of its purchasing power due to the fragmented nature of the buying. The B2B platform we would like to propose allows officers to order uniforms online. Orders could be picked up at a dedicated service center in Chicago (Galls currently operates two locations that service the CTA). Alternatively, orders could be shipped directly to the officers. Proper controls are in place that limit the officer's purchases to Department specified products and annual dollar or item limits. We believe Chicago PD officers could receive the same or more uniforms for $1,200 annually for a savings to the City of $7,128,000. I'm asking if you could help by having someone in the Mayor's office allow us to present this in more detail and consider this proposal. The Chicago Transit Authority is already using this approach and we're confident they will speak to its effectiveness for their employees. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. I probably have told you more than you care to know about police uniforms. ~.: Tony, any help in establishing a contact with the Mayor's office would be appreciated. At the same time, I understand if you say "no thanks." Regardless, I appreciate the consideration and hope to see you at the Board Meeting next month.

The new reductions, which are sure to be contested at the meeting of the Board of Education on Tuesday, are based on enrollment figures CPS released late Friday night from enrollment on the 10th day of school. Many parents and teachers signed up to talk publicly Tuesday about the efFects of removing more special ed teachers from schools. CPS spokeswoman Emily Bittner said the cuts were based on enrollment losses. The Chicago Teachers Union, in a report released Tuesday, blasted the cuts. In the report, called "Special Education Services in Crisis at CPS," the CTU noted that the net loss of special ed positions is 161/2 teachers and 52 assistants, but overall, 161 schools are losing teachers and 185 losing aides. `The CTU finds these cuts to be not only untenable, but also unsupported by any data grounded in student needs," according to the CTU. Principals told the Sun-Times they were blindsided by Friday's announcement. Their protests led CPS to extend a deadline to appeal the special ed losses from Tuesday until next Monday. The cash-strapped district, whose budget for the current school year still is $480 million short, insists that the needs of every special education student, as laid out in an Individualized Education Plan, will be met.

For seventeen years I served as President of the Field Museum of Natural History just to the north of the proposed site of the Lucas Museum. I serve as a member of the Lucas Museum Board and also Chair the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. offer seven observations in support of the Lucas Museum. 1- The harbor front location extends westward the Lakefront design of Northerly Island, replaces the present blacktop desert with dunes and grasses and serves as a connector on what will ultimately become an environmental corridor from Lurie Gardens to Indiana. 2- The impact oninner-city education will be unique, providing disadvantaged students access to film making, great directors, documentary film makers and film festivals. Chicago will be reestablished as a center of film innovation. 3- The architectural design is brilliant and will become a 21St Century Chicago icon in the tradition of innovation that stretches back to the skyscrapers and prairie homes of the late 19`h and early 20th centuries. 4- The Lucas collection of 25,000 objects has been assembled with a strategic vision and will continue to grow over coming decades. Far more than a "Star Wars" focus, it encompasses the best collection of Narrative Art in the world. 5- The Museum is fully funded and represents an investment of several hundred million dollars without governmental funds or diversion of local philanthropic support. 6- Any issues of traffic or congestion can be resolved and ultimately revival of the circulator light rail concept will enhance accessibility to tourists and Chicagoans. 7- Los Angeles, New York, Washington and other cities are investing in museums and the combination of the Lucas Museum and the Obama Presidential Library will enable Chicago to enhance its destination status. Chicago will observe the two hundredth anniversary of its founding in 2033 —less than two decades from now. The Lucas Museum can be a vibrant, contributing member of our educational and cultural community. Do not let it slip away. Thank you. John W.

Hope your stay in Chicago went well. Attached is a memo on bike friendly investments and food desserts. Look forward to talking soon. Rahm URBAN AGRICULTURE AND BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE IN CHICAGO Chicago is a vibrant city with distinct neighborhoods and dynamic communities. Well renowned for its livability and beauty, Chicago boasts a stunning lakefront, and many opportunities to pursue an active and healthy lifestyle. Parks, trails, and opportunities for safe and healthy recreation all play an important rote in building communities and quality of life. Over the past four years, Mayor Emanuel has expanded and improved Chicago's existing assets that offer beauty, recreation, sustenance, and health to all Chicagoans. He has established an ambitious target to create recreation areas and green spaces throughout Chicago over the next five years in order to ensure that every child in Chicago lives within a 10 minute walk of a park or open space. He's transformed Chicago into one of the most bike friendly cities in America through hundreds of miles of new bike lanes. Further, he has implemented an aggressive urban agriculture strategy, supporting new farms, jobs and expanding access to healthy food throughout Chicago. EXPANDING CHICAGO'S BICYCLE INFRASTRUCTURE Chicago is developing a national reputation as one of the best large cities in the United States for bicycling. During his first term, Mayor Emanuel has worked to improve our bicycling infrastructure to create the quality of life that will attract businesses and families to Chicago. He has achieved this goal by investing in bicycling infrastructure and promoting education, awareness and advocacy. Chicago now has more than 200 miles of on street protected, buffered and shared bike lanes, many miles of off-street paths (including the 18.5-mile Lakefront Trail), more than 13,000 bike racks, and sheltered, high-capacity, bike parking areas at many CTA rail stations. Last year, Bicycling Magazine ranked Chicago the 2nd best city in America for Cycling, up from 5'" place two years ago because of the Mayor's dramatic expansion of bicycle friendly infrastructure. Creating the Largest Bike Sharing System in North America. The popular Divvy bike share program launched in 2013, and now offers 476 bike stations in neighborhoods across the City. Divvy is the largest bike share system in North America, based on the number of stations. Divvy's territory has expanded to 87 square miles or 38 percent of the City's total area. 56 percent or 1.3 million Chicagoans have a Diwy station in their neighborhood. Through the City's partnership with Blue Cross Blue Shield and grant funding by the Better Bike Share, Diwy's accessibility is growing to serve more Chicagoans each day. In 2016, working families who cannot afford full price memberships will be able to purchase reduced-price memberships. 150 miles of protected bike lanes by the end of 2019. The City recently completed the first 100 miles of enhanced protected bike lanes. These lanes will ease traffic congestion, improve Chicago's air quality, and offer City residents and visitors options for travel throughout the City. By 2019, the City plans to add an additional 50 miles of enhanced protected bike lanes. The Chicago Streets for Cycling Plan 2020 calls fora 645-mile network of biking facilities to be in place by 2020 to provide a bicycle accommodation within half-mile of every Chicagoan. In addition, the City has invested in three marquis bike infrastructure projects that have received national attention: • 606 Trail. Mayor Emanuel opened the 606 Trail in June of 2015, one of the longest elevated parks in the world. The conversion of an abandoned 2.7 mile long elevated rail ~. !JM1 %. .Cj ~ ~~'~ . ~'~'~;.. ~. pP q a~~. line into a linear urban trail connects four Northwest Side neighborhoods and activating new green space with dedicated bike lanes and running paths. • Navy Pier Flyover. This project will provide a grade separated flyover for users of the Lakefront Trail from Jane Adams Park at Ohio Street to the south bank of the Chicago River, addressing congestion and safety issues for thousands of bicyclists and pedestrians. The first of three phases will be completed in Fall of 2015. The second and third phases will follow and be completed within Rahm's second term. • Bronzeville pedestrian and bike bridges. The City is constructing two new pedestrian and bicycle bridges over Lake Shore Drive and the adjacent Metra and Canadian National Railway Tracks at 41 S` and 43'd Streets. When complete, they will provide greatly enhanced connections for the surrounding communities to Burnham Park and the South Lakefront. CREATING_THE LARGEST URBAN AGRICULTURE PROGRAM IN THE NATION Since day one of the administration, Mayor Emanuel has made an aggressive push to eliminate food desserts and promote urban agriculture. In 2011, Mayor Emanuel passed the Urban Farm ordinance, expanding the size limit on community gardens to 25,000 square feet, relaxing fencing and parking requirements on commercial urban farms to help reduce startup costs, and allowing for innovative new methods of farming such as hydroponic and aquaponic systems. Over the last four years, acreage devoted to urban farming has increased by a factor of 13, going from 1.4 acres to roughly 18 acres, and the number of urban farm operators has gone from two to 13. Launched Farmers for Chicago. In 2013, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Growing Power, a leading local urban agriculture organization, announced the launch of Farmer's for Chicago, a new program that made up to five acres of City-owned vacant lots for urban farming activity, and help expand the supply chain for local neighborhood-level food production and wholesale. Local non-profits have installed food growing equipment on the lots, and trained over 20 people in urban farming and agriculture. Supporting Transitional Jobs on Urban Farms : The Administration has made an annual investment of $750,000 in transitional jobs programs with Chicago nonprofits in the urban agriculture sector. This includes support for innovative social enterprises such as Beeline Beauty Products in urban beekeeping, and Neighbor Carts, which distributes fresh produce in food deserts. These investments are intended to provide training for more than 200 hard-toemploy individuals per year —including ex-offenders and the formerly homeless, and job placement for more than 160 trainees. Fostering Neighborhood Composting. Expanding composting is part of a larger strategy to support urban agriculture efforts in Chicago. Mayor Emanuel introduced an ordinance that would expand composting operations at community gardens and urban farms across Chicago and create a citywide community garden registry and urban farm accessory composting operation permit. The goal of the program is to expand the type of allowable compostable materials at both community gardens and urban farms while implementing common sense measures to ensure public health standards are maintained. The ordinance also reduces fees nonprofit composting and recycling organizations and will allow residents to compost and garden in their backyards. Nearly Doubling CPS Learning Gardens. In 2016, the City will install learning gardens in 92 Chicago Public Schools(CPS) providing outdoor classroom space to more than 55,000 students. This investment nearly doubles the number of schools with learning gardens, bringing to a total of 120,000 students now with access to a learning garden. With this $500,000 investment by the City, there will be a total of 200 schools that will provide daily hands-on nutrition and science education through their school's learning garden. The Mayor began the installation of the first learning gardens in 2012, when the City partnered with the Kitchen Community, a national non-profit organization, to infuse healthy habits, reverse trends in childhood obesity and diabetes, improve academic performance, and strengthen communities through gardens built at our schools. 3 Sender: Sent: Recipient: Subject: Michael Alter Tuesday, October 13, 2;015 5:18:45 PM Rahrn Emanuel RE: a meeting with the chancellor and president to meet with you has been set for nov 3.

Each of these measures can and will be accomplished either through voluntary agreement, legislation or bankruptcy. It is important to understand the role of bankruptcy as an option. We have prepared a full reorganization plan that incorporates these measures, all of which are needed to end our crisis and all of which are achievable in bankruptcy. All city employees, creditors and other stakeholders will be asked to agree voluntarily to them but if they refuse we will get them through bankruptcy. We have directed our Congressional delegation to seek amendments to a Chapter 13 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, which are already drafted. Those amendments will make bankruptcy, if it becomes necessary for a city our size, a much faster, firmer and more predictable route to robust recovery. Recognizing the severity of our crisis, we are confident Congress will act quickly on those amendments. Stakeholders who balk at voluntary agreement to the concessions we need will regret waiting until those amendments become law. Regardless of the outcome of those amendments, we are confident all the measures I propose below and our full reorganization plan would be confirmed in bankruptcy: —All existing collective bargaining agreements will be terminated. — Layoffs and pay cuts will be broad and deep. —Massive operational changes mostly designed to reduce excessive labor use will be aggressively enforced. —Overtime will be eliminated to the the full extent allowable under Federal law. —Underperforming workers will be fired summarily. —The Chicago Public School System will be reconstituted. An entirely new one will be created that will acquire needed assets from the old entity and all funding for education will go to the new entity. The new system will include elements of privatization and choice. Liabilities of the old system will be left unpaid except insofar as they must be assumed by the new system to acquire needed assets. Good employees of the old system will be rehired. — No further contributions will be made to Chicago's four pensions or the Chicago teachers' pension. Instead, a new, affordable plan will be funded to cover new employees and certain participants in the old pensions who are particularly hurt by terminating the old plans. We are confident in our position that the city is not liable on obligations to pensioners in the old plans, so they can be allowed to run dry. We have already asserted that in court and our position awaits a final ruling on appeal. Failing that, a constitutional amendment deleting the pension protection clause will be passed by the General Assembly and put to referendum. If those efforts fail, bankruptcy again provides a decisive, last resort to deal with unfunded liabilities of the old pensions. -Taxes will be raised, but not until our entire list of reforms is fully implemented. I pledge hat no further tax revenue will be squandered in vain. Those financial measures will fail in the long term unless matched by a cultural revolution in Chicago area government. From this day forward nothing will be the same about the `Chicago Way.' Nothing: — We will adopt a radical, new ethical ordinance that includes, for example, a ban on lawmakers working on property tax assessments and appeals. That ordinance will be enforced by inspectors general with broad powers and full budgets. The leaches and mopes among you left over from the Daley years would be wise to retire now. i~ — As for rank and file workers who have been part of the problem, you have disgraced the many who work with commitment. The joke about public employees here has long been about one guy working and two guys watching. No more. To the contrary, the layoffs coming mean remaining employees will shoulder more work than should normally be expected. I recognize the unfairness for you who already work hard, but I ask you to stick it out and help see us through this. — To the private sector, I ask for your generosity. We've failed to provide many public services that should be expected from a city with our resources, and I beg you to fill in where you can until we get this fixed. Chicago, you have been misled, and I have been horribly wrong. The crisis we face is more severe than commonly known and much worse than I ever understood. To date, I've made some tough decision but mostly denied and delayed. That's over. The remedy must fit the malady or we are doomed. Henry J.

MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: RE: john j, Cullerton, Senate President Eric M.Madiar,Special Counsel October 20,2015 Chicago Pension Reform Proposals OVERVIEW This memorandum discusses the actuarial scoring results for the revised pension reform proposal we have discussed for Tier 1 employees participating in the Chicago Municip al and Laborers Pension Funds (Funds). The proposal is modeled after the contractual framework found in Senate Bill 2404 that passed the Senate in May 2013, and received union support As with Senate Bill 2404, the proposal seeks costs savings by incentivizing Tier 1 employees to give up their annual 3% compounded COLA for the lower Tier 2 COLA. Based on relevant Illinois court decisions, this framework offers the best opportunity to obtain cost savings and pass constitutional muster. As detailed below, the proposal will provide the City of Chicago (City) with significant cost savings in at least two ways with respect to these Funds. First, the proposal will improve how the unfunded pension liabilities of these Funds are reported on the City's financial statements. Doing nothing after the Supreme Court invalidates the Chicago Pension Reform Bill (Senate Bill 1922), however, will essentially double these liabilities for reporting purposes because of new Government Accounting Standards Board guidelines, and could further erode the City's credit outlook. Second, as shown by the charts below, the proposal will save the City billions of dollars in contributions over the next several decades when compared to what the City would be obligated to pay in benefits if the Funds go broke. Under the proposal, the City would contribute over $13 billion in lower contributions to the Chicago Municipal Fund through FY 2063. Similarl y, the City would contribute $1.3 billion in lower contributions to the Chicago Laborers Fund through FY 2055. In addition, the proposal has the City contributing less to these Funds in FY 2018, 2019, and 2020 than under Senate Bi111922. Furthermore, in FY 2021, when actuarial funding would begin under both Senate Bill 1922 and the proposal, the City's contribution to the Chicago Laborers Fund under the proposa l is only $26 million higher than the contributions under Senate Bill 1922. This $26 million difference in contributions between the plans will increase by roughly 3% each year through FY 2055. Similarly, in FY 2021, the City's contribution to the Chicago Municipal Fund under the proposal is $128 million higher than the contributions under Senate Bill 1922. This difference in contributions will increase by roughly 8% each year through FY 2055. Both the proposal itself and costs savings are explained in detail below. 1 `'" ~'`~ `••~~+~ The Proposal The proposal consists of two parts. The first part of the proposal would re-enact the funding schedule found in Senate Bill 1922 to achieve 90%funding for these pension systems by FY 2055. The second part of the proposal gives Tier 1 employees the choice of either agreeing to lower COLA increases at a later date or simply rejecting such a change. Specifically, Tier 1 employees are asked to agree to give up the current annual 3 percent compounded COLA increase they receive after their first year in retirement for the Tier 2 COLA rate, which is the lesser of 3 percent simple or half of inflation, and delay the receipt of the COLA increase to the earlier of 5 years after retirement or at age 67. Tier 1 employees who agree to the lower COLA increase will receive three (3) items of value (or consideration) for giving up their current compounded COLA. First, the City of Chicago would be prohibited under the Pension Clause from exercising its legal right to offer future salary increases on anon-pensionable basis.1 Second, Tier 1 employees who agree would receive a refund equal to 5.88% of the contributions they made since joining the pension system. Finally, the employee contribution rate of Tier 1 employees who agree would be reduced from 8.5% to 8% of salary going forward. Tier 1 employees who reject the COLA change will continue to keep their compounded COLA when they retire. The City, however, will start exercising its legal right and only offer future salary increases to these employees on anon-pensionable basis. For example, if a Tier 1 employee rejects the COLA change and currently has a salary of $50,000, then the employee's pensionable salary amount will remain at $50,000 even if his or her actual salary is $75,000 at the time of retirement. The Tier 1 employee in this example,though, would not pay pension contributions on salary amounts above $50,000. Cost Savings The proposal offers the Funds and City two types of cost savings. The first type relates to how the Funds and the City reports the unfunded pension liabilities of these systems on their respective financial statements. The second type of savings associated with the proposal as compared to the Funds going broke and to Senate Bill 1922. The costs savings provided by the Funds' actuaries assume that Tier 1 employees will select the option that is in their best financial interest. Because not everyone will make such a choice, the cost savings represent a "worse-case scenario" for the City. As to the first tXpe of cost savings City is required under Senate Bill 1922 to contribute to these Funds on a funding schedule that achieves 90% funding by FY 2055. Since the Illinois Supreme Court will most likely find Senate Bill 1922 unconstitutional, that funding schedule will no longer apply and these Funds will no longer be funded on an actuarial basis. Instead, funding will revert back to the previous non-actuarial funding schedule. These Funds, in turn, are then expected to go broke in 10-15 years. Resuming the non-actuarial funding schedule for these Funds will have an immediate negative impact on how the Funds and City will report the unfunded pension liabilities of these systems on their respective financial statements. Recently, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) changed how pension assets and liabilities are reported in government financial statements. Under GASB Statements 67 and 68, if a public pension fund is not funded on an actuarial basis, then the fund's unfunded pension liabilities must be reported based on a lower 1 See Carroll v. Grumet, 117 N.Y.S.2d 553(N.Y. 1953)(holding that public employers have the power to offer future salary increases on a nonpensionable basis under the NY Constitution's Pension Clause) cited favorably in Kraus, 72 II1.App.3d at 849-50. ~~°~` investment return assumption than currently used today. For the Funds, this means that its unfunded pension liabilities must be reported based on an investment return assumption of 3.79%,not the current assumption of 7.5%. The lowering of this important assumption will essentially double the unfunded pension liabilities of these Funds at least for financial statement purposes. For example, the Chicago Municipal Fund would need to report its unfunded pension liabilities as $17.6 billion, rather than $9.2 billion as reported today. That increase in liabilities will also be reported on the City's financial statement and could further impair its credit rating. Since the City's bond rating has already dropped to "junk bond" status, one could argue that the City's credit rating has already hit rock bottom and cannot get any worse. If the pension reform proposal outlined above were enacted, then the Fund's unfunded pension liabilities would be reported as $8.4 billion. As you will recall, the proposal restores the funding schedule found in Senate Bill 1922. Indeed, it is important to note that if the General Assembly simply re-enacted the funding schedule found in Senate Bill 1922 without any benefit changes, the Fund's unfunded pension liabilities, for financial statement purposes, would be reported as $9.1 billion. In other words, enacting the proposal(or just Senate Bill 1922's funding schedule) will significantly lower what the Funds and the City report as unfunded pension liabilities on its financial statements. Doing nothing after the Supreme Court invalidates Senate Bi111922, however,could further erode the City's credit outlook. The two charts below set forth the second tyke of cost savings associated with the proposal. Column A of each chart sets forth how much the City would be obligated to contribute to the Funds under the non-actuarial funding schedule after the Supreme Court invalidates Senate Bill 1922. In addition to striking down the bill, the court will also likely conclude that the City is obligated to still pay pension benefits if these Funds go broke. Column B of each chart sets forth how much the City would contribute to each Fund if Senate Bill 1922's funding schedule applied without its benefit reductions. Column C of each chart sets forth how much the City contributes to each Fund under Senate Bill 1922. Column D of each chart sets forth how much the City would contribute under the pension reform proposal. The last column shows the difference between the City's contributions under Senate Bill 1922 and the proposal. Overall, when compared to what the City would be obligated to pay in benefits if the Funds go broke, the proposal will save City taxpayers over $13 billion in lower contributions to the Chicago Municipal Fund through FY 2063, and $1.3 billion in lower contributions to the Chicago Laborers Fund through FY 2055. In addition, the proposal has the City contributing less to these Funds in FY 2018,2019,and 2020 than under Senate Bi111922. Furthermore, in FY 2021, when actuarial funding would begin under both Senate Bill 1922 and the proposal, the City's contribution to the Chicago Laborers Fund under the proposal is $26 million higher than the contribution amount under Senate Bill 1922. In FY 2021, the City's contribution under the proposal is $94 million, while it is $68 million under Senate Bill 1922. This $26 million difference in contribution amounts between the plans will increase by roughly 3% each year through FY 2055.

Chicago got a shout out in the WSJ Editorial this am! See below FYI from WSJ: One of the few exceptions this year was Chicago where eighth-grade proficiency in math increased to 25%from 20%. Over the last two years Chicago has closed its achievement gap with other large public city school districts. Mayor Rahm Emanuel deserves credit for expanding charter schools as well as imposing a longer school day and more rigorous teacher evaluations. ~ ----------Forwarded message ---------From: NewsClips Date: Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 10:13 AM Subject:(NEWS)WSJ: Obama's Education Report Card To: Obama's Education Report Card WSJ//EDITORIAL Education Secretary Arne Duncan on Tuesday softpedaled the "not great news" that scores on the National Assessment of Education Progress (i.e., the "nation's report card") declined this year for the first time since 1990. We once hoped that education would be a bright spot of the Obama Presidency, but it appears that student learning has stalled. The Administration says the discouraging results on the NAEP exam, which tests a representative sample of students every two years in all 50 states, may be a blip. Perhaps, but the retrogression is troubling. Math proficiency in the fourth and eighth grades slipped two percentage points nationwide to 40% and 33% of students, respectively. Average scores fell across the board save for fourth-grade reading where progress was flat. Since 2007 fourth- and eighth-grade math, and fourth-grade reading, scores have plateaued. Mr. Duncan says one culprit might be that schools are adjusting to new Common Core standards. Yet in 2013 he attributed modest gains in Michigan and seven other states to early implementation of Common Core. The handful of states that haven't adopted Common Core have also sunk or are treading water. Teachers union chief Randi Weingarten used the results to lambaste "high-stakes testing" inaugurated under No Child Left Behind, which aimed for 100% proficiency by 2014. Yet that law long ago became toothless thanks to Mr. Duncan's waivers. The recent academic stagnation also stands in marked contrast to the significant progress during the Bush years. Between 2000 and 2007,fourth grade math scores increased by 15 points on a scale of0 to 500. Fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade math scores rose by eight points. Perhaps what's most depressing about the latest results is that progress has ceased even in education reform leaders like Tennessee, Indiana and Florida that have loosened teacher tenure protections and expanded school choice. Yet this may be evidence that a falling tide can strand all boats. One of the few exceptions this year was Chicago where eighth-grade proficiency in math increased to 25%from 20%. Over the last two years Chicago has closed its achievement gap with other large public city school districts. Mayor Rahm Emanuel deserves credit for expanding charter schools as well as imposing a longer school day and more rigorous teacher evaluations. Cleveland's school district has also made modest strides. In 2012 Ohio Gov. John Kasichsigned a law allowing the district to base teacher layoffs on performance rather than seniority. The law also rewarded highly rated teachers with better pay. Mr. Duncan, who is leaving in December, last week gave unions a parting gift by proposing to cap standardized testing at 2% of classroom time. Yet it's possible that the anti-testing fever that has swept the nation in the last two years may have contributed to the lousy NAEP results. GOP presidential candidates like Jeb Bush and Mr. Kasich have helped turn around their state school systems by promoting more accountability and choice. The goal of a Republican Administration should be to do the same nationally.

(This is a pretty unusual ask of you by Airbnb so I am happy to tell them sorry, Marc does not do this kind of thing. But, given what I understand to be a pretty good relationship between you and Rahm,I figured I'd pass along the request.) (One alternative could be to have Lutwak call Rahm's office, because he has a good contact there. But clearly Airbnb thinks aMarc-Rahm call would have biggest impact.) Ted Begin forwarded message: From: Chris Lehane Date: November 6,2015 at 9:05:33 AM PST To: Ted Ullyot Subject: Chicago -Important Ted -hoping we can have Marc call Rahm sooner rather than later on the below (Marc could suggest I can fly to Chicago and meet with the Mayor or his team -our Intel is that the Mayor is not fully aware of what the bureaucrats have been working on): Background: The cumnt regulations in Chicago were designed for professional B&Bs and do not work for home sharing. The city agrees they need to change, and last Spring they started the process of researching and designing new regs. We did what we could to help. Our team met with the Mayor's staff and provided thorough (non-public) data on our host community(how often they do this, how many units they have, and where they live). There are a few local Aldermen who oppose this and have asked the city to go after hosts who don't register as B&Bs. Where we are now: Chicago has been quietly drafting new regs since early summer. We know they are close to complete, but are concerned about the direction things are goingWe have been told that the regs will contain several items that don't work for home sharing, including: C `` i~~:!. - Registration: Regular Chicagoans who do this occasionally in the privacy of their home should not have to go register. Registration with cities has simply not worked and in the two cities where they did this it has become a big political headache for the mayor. Cities like Philadelphia addressed this by requiring registration only if one was doing short term rentals at an intense level(90 days) or, like San Jose and many mega European cities (London, Paris, Amsterdam, etc) by allowing the registration to be done via the platform and then passed through by having the platform provide info to the tax collection office. - Regressive Fees: Airbnb is already collecting and remitting taxes, the hosts also pay income tax, and adding a fee on top of this is burdensome for middle class residents who are paying their share. We don't know the size of the fees. Fees should not be applied to middle class people seeking to use their home for supplemental income, especially since the traditional fee collected for hotels -the ToT - is already being collected and paid for. Why should a middle class family be taxed more than a major corporate hotel It is exceptionally regressive. What we are hoping to accomplish: The opportunity to discuss these draft regulations before they are widely shared. Airbnb has learned a great deal from cities like Philly about what works and what doesn't work. We want to work closely with Chicago towards a model like Philly, and ensure it works for Chicago's unique housing and tourism needs It's important that Chicago not see Airbnb hosts as analogous to Bed and Breakfasts. They are not. Home sharing is an economic lifeline for middle class families who do this only occasionally to pay bills. They rarely make more than $lOK a year on the platform. Since hosts are generally not professional, it is exceptionally burdensome to require something like registration and fees. For a host who does this a couple times per month this is not practical. Key Facts: The economic impact of Airbnb activity in Chicago is over $200M/year. We have about 4,500 hosts in the city, and their most common profession is education and health services. 4 out of 5 hosts are renting their primary residence. We are collecting and remitting city taxes on behalf of our hosts. Airbnb wants to be a partner and donated $150K to Chicago parks district.

Assume both of us thought the airport issue was settled and we would never lave to discuss again, but unfortunately two significant new hurdles were introduced. Coming to you because of their severity that would prevent us from operating. We were all set to announce Monday we were beginning pickups. Sure this comes as much of a surprise to you as us, since there was an agreement in place. The two issues. ~~ `~~' * The MPEA fee: The City of Chicago Department of Finance sent Uber a letter saying the company had to charge the $4 MPEA fee in addition to the $5 pickup and $5 drapofffees. We would already be paying 2.SX times taxi. This would 3.5X. And the math just doesn't work on the business side. Hopefully this is just lack of clarity on the agreement, but corning in over top with this an top ofthe agreed upon 10.00, which is highest in country,just makes the numbers not work. We need some clarity or have that letter withdrawn. * Trade dress: The draft rules require a 4th piece of trade dress be addad for airport pickups, 8x8 sign in the rear window. This may seem minor but is a big and duplicative burden on the average UberX driver(and presents safety issues an visibilty)and reminds me ofsome of the issues coming out offederal agencies that Cass and I would have to play whack a mole an. No other city requires more than 2. The airport si~nage required by the ordinance can easily be included on the other pieces of trade dress that are already carried in Uber vehicles, which is Uber emblem, tax id on windshield and TNC ID card. Not to mention many drivez~s drive for Lyft - so you'd have TWO signs in the back, 1bx16, that would definitely obscure the view. I hope we can resolve these issues before the holiday. Our team is eager to move forward and begin operating at the airports in advance of the Thanksgiving holiday - as you called for and we'd like to deliver on the schedule for you.

Take care, Jesse PS As you were talking about the image of police officers, and the new 10th district station, I was thinking of ways we could integrate officers into Park District programs. I recall as a young boy going to the old 5th District station in Roseland at 115th & Indiana (now a health clinic) and participating in the Junior Police program. Don't know what may already be happening, but will look into it and see if Park District can serve as more of a platform for such interaction with youth and communities. Jesse H.

Prep football: Mayor Emanuel helps Phillips celebrate state title http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/highschool/ct-spt-1203-prep-fb-phillipscelebration-20151202-story.html Bob NarangContact ReporterChicago Tribune Mayor Emanuel honors state champion Phillips football team, writes @bobnarang. Amir Watts felt a tug at his left shoulder, so he looked to see his newest admirer: Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Watts helped Phillips break through for the Public League's first football state championship with last Friday's 51-7 win against Belleville Althoff in the Class 4A final in DeKalb. On Wednesday, the school celebrated the feat with a rally that included a speech by Emanuel. Watts is a talkative person, but the senior defensive tackle was at a loss for words while receiving some encouragement from the mayor in a hallway at Phillips. "That was a big surprise to me," Watts said. "That was crazy. It's always good to know someone like the mayor wants to meet you. He's so busy with a lot on his hands, and for him to come down and acknowledge our team is something we will never forget." It's been that kind of season for the 90 football players and six coaches at the Bronzeville school. Five years ago, the school was nearly closed before the Academy for Urban School Leadership (AUSL) — a nonprofit school management organization — became involved. On Wednesday, in front of more than 10 television cameras, the Wildcats were honored during an hourlong assembly in the school's auditorium. With the entire student body wearing blue T-shirts emblazoned with "Chicago's Champions" on the back, Emanuel and other local officials honored the team's historic accomplishments. Wendell Phillips Academy High School celebrates its Class 4A state football championship. (John J. Kim, Chicago Tribune) "I believe today as we stand here we are now seeing history being made," Emanuel said. "Chicago will become a football powerhouse city because of Phillips High School." Head coach Troy McAllister lifted the program from one with 12 players when he arrived in 2010 to one that finished 14-0 this fall. A father figure to many of his players who hail from gang-infested neighborhoods, McAllister smiled watching the team's 19 seniors pose for pictures in a small classroom following Wednesday's festivities. "This is one of the greatest accomplishments in Illinois high school football history," McAllister said. "This team was always very calm after victories. They didn't always celebrate. They were focused on the goal. "To see them after the championship game, I'm so used to seeing them focused. This group deserves to celebrate. To see them let loose, the joy and excitement on their faces is an unbelievable feeling for a coach to see." Last year, the Wildcats lost in the 4A final, 49-28 to Rochester. The only previous Public League team to appear in the football state final was Robeson, which fell 16-12 to Rockford Guilford in the 1982 Class 5A title game. During his three-minute speech to the throng of students, faculty, former players and other alumni, Emanuel said he urged the Wildcats to take the next step this season. "I talked to Coach Troy so much last year, that this year, I never had to say it was Rahm Emanuel anymore because he knew my phone number," Emanuel said, causing a loud cheer. "Last year I said, 'We're going to tell Rochester one of us is going to be back and one of us is not going to be back,' and we were back." Halfway through the ceremony, Emanuel was called back to the stage to help present state medals to the Wildcats. A blue Phillips T-shirt draped over his right shoulder, Emanuel greeted numerous players, including star quarterback Quayvon Skanes, to the tune of Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It." "This was a great experience, just knowing the city was behind you and we did something great," Skanes, a Connecticut recruit, said. "We made history. Words cannot even explain this experience. This is something I'll remember the rest of my life. The best part of today was seeing Rahm Emanuel speak. I made sure to shake his hand." The 111-year-old South Side school has seen notable alumni like Gwendolyn Brooks, Nat King Cole and Sam Cooke roam its hallways, but longtime members of the Phillips family struggled to recall a livelier day for the school. "This gives me chills to see these guys up here," 1981 Phillips graduate Gerald Morris said. "Knowing how much hard work they've put in and knowing the environment and they've overcome a lot. This is a dream." Keith Cooper, a 1970 grad who said he played nose guard and linebacker, wore a Phillips jersey with "Mad Dog" on its nameplate. He attended Friday's game and Wednesday's assembly. "We've had good ballplayers for a long time, but we never could do much in the playoffs," Cooper said. "This was beautiful for all the guys who played here and came back." McAllister, a native of Kingston, Ontario, listed a few of the challenges his team has had to overcome, from a scarcity of quality equipment like blocking sleds to the effects the city's violence has had on Phillips' players and their families. "Sometimes, you have to sit back and realize things work in weird ways," McAllister said. "This is one of the greatest things I've ever experienced, and to see what our young men were capable of accomplishing when they came together for a common goal is truly special." McAllister also laughed about an unforeseen consequence of winning a state championship — finding a place to put the trophy. "The trophy is too tall," McAllister said. "We might have to get a new trophy case. ... Or we might have to empty the shelves to make it fit." Bob Narang is a freelance reporter for the Chicago Tribune.

I got to know Randolph Stone there when I was a student in the Clinic {i handled employment discrimination suits). You could have a U ofC faculty member like Geoff Stone, renowned Constitutional scholar, former Dean of the Law School and provost of the University, head up the review team of clinical faculty.

In fact, Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center has been a seven-year partner of CPD, providing training to all of its new recruits over these years, using the lessons of the Holocaust to teach new police officers about the moral responsibility and the impact of the choices they make while doing their jobs. As the recent challenges of alleged police misconduct have come to light, we believe that the training we are currently providing to new recruits would be valuable for the rank-and-file and can be part of a larger solution to strengthening CPD's culture and practices. Attached please find a brief proposal that outlines an expanded Law Enforcement and Democracy (LED I) program that could be provided to all officers of CPD over time. In our most recent LED! training for new recruits in December, trainers from the Academy independently suggested that the LED! training should be expanded in this way, and we are planning to meet with Academy leadership to discuss that possibility. We wanted to share this potential expanded partnership with you, as an element in the larger reforms and changes you are undertaking in CPD. We welcome the opportunity to discuss further this proposal (attiched) with members of your team. Best, Susan Abrams Susan Abrams I Chief Executive Officer Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center Office: 847-967-4880 Susan.Abrams@ilhmec.org www.ilholocaustmuseum.org Proposal For the past seven years, the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center has provided all Chicago Police Department (CPD) recruits with training about the profound moral role that police play in our society and the dangers of its abuse, as seen through the lens of the Holocaust. In that time, we have trained over 2,000 recruits and have received consistently positive evaluations for the experience and impact of the program. We contact you today to propose expanding our training to reach ail rank-and-file CPD officers to build on the success we have had together and to work with you to address the challenges the Department is facing from recent revelations of alleged police misconduct. We already have begun planning training for the rank-and-file officers of other nearby police departments, and we believe such training will be deeply impactful for your officers. We will base the training on our existing curriculum, but will include other organizational partners to bring in diverse perspectives and expertise in conflict resolution and ethics, as well as partnering with existing CPD trainers and officers. We envision the department-wide training taking place over a one-two year period, dependent upon the schedules and availability of the officers, after which we would return to solely training recruits. With all officers and recruits experiencing similar training, the department will benefit from a common language and ethical framework. Through our multi-year experience working with CPD, we know that we can implement a program that will have a meaningful influence on the department's officers. Below you will find more details of the proposed program, which we are open to adjusting together. We look forward to discussing this with you further. Overview The Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center's Law Enforcement and Democracy Initiative (LEDi) currently provides law enforcement recruits in the Chicago Police Department with training and tools necessary to respond to hate crimes and bias incidents, as well as a deeper understanding of the tremendous moral responsibility the cadets carry with their new role. The expanded program for all CPD officers will provide an educational experience that highlights the roles that abuse of authority, the power of choice, stereotyping, and ethics play daily in the lives of a police officer. LEDi Training Tailored for Experienced Officers Following the current model of a one-day, intensive training, the agenda for the LEDi training for experienced officers will include multimedia presentations using video, photography, and historical documents, a docent-led tour of the Museum's Karkomi Holocaust Exhibition, and an unforgettable encounter with living history through the testimony of a Holocaust eyewitness. These components, also used in the cadet training, expose Jaw enforcement to the history of the Holocaust and the role of police in Nazi Europe, stimulating reflective discussion on the challenges of balancing the rights 1 of people with the protection of society. The LEDi program works to show officers that even small actions and choices impact public perception, and that there is a fine line between maintaining law and order and violating civil rights. The Museum will continue to focus on an examination of historical evidence from the Holocaust to illustrate the dichotomy between ongoing police work and the transformation of policing under the Nazi regime. In addition, the training will involve modules that will explore issues of violence, profiling and conflict resolution through exploration of contemporary case studies, as a supplement to the existing training. We will work in partnership with experienced CPD officers to tailor the case studies so that they are relevant for participants. A sample day-long training may include: I. Warm-Up Activities • Goal: Set the tone and focus for the day; develop early on a community of active learners, and establish a safe environment that allows officers and trainers to openly exchange ideas and experiences. II. Examining Historical Evidence - Lessons of the Holocaust Photo Narrative (small and large group discussion) • Ill. IV. Goal: Use the power of observation through the lens of policing to interpret photographic images of "moments in time" during the Holocaust. Engage participants in a discussion about the images as evidence of the day-to-day duties and functions of policing in Nazi Germany, and how incrementally overtime the overall role of police shifted to the persecution of "racial" enemies that culminated in the Holocaust. Docent-led tour of Karkomi Holocaust Exhibition • Learner-centered teaching; identify patterns in history through the exhibition and connections to today. Lunch V. Tour De-Brief • Goal: Identify incremental shifts in both policy and policing, and the ultimate actions of ordinary police officers to initiate and participate in mass murder. VI. Case Study Examination (new module) - The group will explore 2-3 case studies that address relevant issues, such as police violence, hate crimes, or racial profiling. Studies may include the hate crime case of James Byrd or more recent studies of conflict resolution and police violence in the US. Activities will include both small and large group discussion. • Goal: Critical thinking and reflection that allows learners to transfer historical lessons to contemporary scenarios; emphasis on ethics; social responsibility; development of empathy, and reinforcement of the power of choice and sound decision-making. VII. Holocaust Survivor Eyewitness Speaker 2 • • Goal: Humanize history and lessons learned from the program. Motivate and engage participants to see and identify with the individual, impacting how the officers address and work with citizens on the street. Partners The expanded LEDi training program will include components facilitated by Museum education staff, such as the exploration of the Holocaust, the importance of choices small and large, and the discussion of the slow erosion of police morals in the Nazi era and how this can be applied to the present day. The training will also take advantage of the Museum's Karkomi Holocaust exhibition, an incredible learning tool that paints a vivid picture of the slide into hate and violence that was the Nazi era. In addition, we will secure the participation of community partners from Chicago who are able to contribute to the training agenda through anti-bias expertise, conflict resolution experience and familiarity with the communities in which CPD officers work. Partners may include, but are not limited to DuSable Museum, Latino Policy Forum, Anti-Defamation League, Chicago Bar Association, Center for Conflict Resolution, Center on Halsted, and the Illinois Commission for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Also as currently happens, we will seek the expertise and participation of CPD trainers or CPD officers in the overall training to provide real-time knowledge and perspective. Past Successes 2015 LEDi participants continue to show strong support and appreciation for the program. In posttraining surveys, 84% of respondents noted the program was relevant to their work. 90% stated they would recommend the program to colleagues. Officers' feedback has been consistently positive over the years. The below comments from a December 2015 training demonstrate the program's impact: "It helped me see that the most important thing is to know what is right ond do it because you will never forget the wrong that you did. The law and authority may change but what is right will stay the same." '7his experience has been very emotional ond dear to my heart. I believe in the good of people even though we get to see the worst in them. I hope I can inspire people the way your organization has." "As law enforcement, I will attempt to remember that there are defining moments in ones' Jives where they feel desperate and hopeless. I will try ta always maintain a sense of mercy in my actians to not contribute to that." Based on both positive feedback and expressions of interest, we are confident the expanded LEDi training will be a meaningful experience for officers that will impact how they conduct themselves in the field. 3 • _;_T_;_im_;_e:::l_;_inc..:e:___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ Jan-Feb 2016 Submit proposal to CPD Superintendent Escalante Meet with CPD officials Outreach to potential community partners Explore and secure funding options (ongoing) March - May 2016 Explore and secure funding options (ongoing) Finalize partnerships and roles Meet with and confirm community partners Select case studies and refine training modules May - Sept 2016 Finalize training agenda Finalize training schedule Oct 2016 Launch training program 4 Sender: Sent: Recipient: Subject: Rahm Emanuel Monday, January 25, 2016 9:44:10 PM Susan Abrams Re: CPD existing training enhancement Thank you Sent from my iPhone On Jan 25, 2016, at 3:42 PM, Susan Abrams wrote: Dear Rahm, We at Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center are conscious of the crucial role that police officers play in a functioning and just democracy, particularly because of the lessons we teach daily within our walls.

The conditions In Chicago are among the worst, and evident when compared to the U.S., lllinols, New York, and Los Angeles. There are long term Impacts associated with low rates of employment for young people. We know from previous research, Including that produced by Bell and Blancbflower In 2009, entitled, "Youth Unemployment Deja Vu?" that youth unemployment causes "permanent scars" (12) where conditions oflow rates of employment as youth impact the likelihood of employment later In life, the level of wages, and Interestingly, all indicators of life satisfaction. Unemploymeot, for exnmple, "makes people unhappy'' (12). neighborhoods and cannot be seen as distinct from what ls happening in the neighborhoods themselves. The devastation of unemployment in turn, wreaks havoc on the neighborhood. Chicago ls a great city. But how can It truly be great, when this "tale of two cities," provides such stark comparison in the employment opportunities among young people. This report reminds us of the urgency to address these Issues of chronic and concentrated conditions of limited employment opportunities that not only affects the young people themselves, hut their families, households, and neighborhoods. The reverberations surely extend to all aspects of our society. "Unemployment increases susceptibility to malnutrition, illness, mental stress, and loss of self-esteem, leading to depression" (13). Quoting the U.S. National Longitudinal study of Youth, Bell and Blanchflower point out !hat youth joblessness "injures self-esteem, and fosters feelings of extemality and helplessness among youth (13). Again citing other research studies, they also point out that "increases in youth unemployment causes Increases In burglaries, thefts and drug offences" (16). The result Is a cycle, where the "permanent scars" lead to conditions that are both a consequence and a precipitating factor that leads to further youth unemployment and parallel social conditions. For example, in areas with high rates of teenage pregnancy, babies are being horn to "babies" In households with high rates of poverty and low levels of employment where feelings oflow self-esteem, depression, and powerlessness are often accompanied by substance abuse and in many cases, violence and crime. • A significant conlrlbutlon of !his report Is Its demonstration that low rates of employment are spatially concentrated in neighborhoods that are also racially segregated. This report dearly highlights that youth employment rates are tied to conditions In 19 • Appendix A: Definitions Employment Employment is defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as all civilians 16 years old and over who either (1) were "at work," that is, those who did any work at all during the reference week as paid employees, worked in their own business or profession, worked on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a family farm or in a family business; or (2) were "with a job but not at work," that is, those who did not work during the reference week but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent due to illness, bad weather, industrial dispute, vacation, or other personal reasons. Excluded from the employed are people whose only activity consisted of work around the house or unpaid volunteer work for religious, charitable, and slmilar organizations; also excluded are all institutionalized people and people on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. Labor Force Labor Force is defined as all people classified in the civilian labor force plus members of the U.S. Armed Forces (people on active duty with the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard). Employment-population Ratio Employment-population Ratio is a calculation of the proportion of the total civilian non-institutionalized population that is employed. Labor Force Participation Rate Labor Poree Participation Rate is a calculation of the proportion of the total civilian non-institutionalized population that is in the labor force. Out of Work Rate Out of Work Rate is a calculation of the proportion of the total civilian non-institutionalized population that is unemployed or not in the labor force. 20 Out of School and Out of Work Rate Out of School and Out of Work Rate is a calculation of the proportion of the total civilian non-institutionalized population that is not enrolled in school and unemployed or not in the labor force. • Appendix B: Data Sources and Methodology The two main sources of information for the analysis are the American Community Survey I and 5-year estimates and American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample data. GIS Maps were created to show spatial distribution of joblessness rates in Chicago Community Areas. ACS 5-year 2010-2014 data were used to display race/ ethnicity of 18-24 year olds and jobless rates for 16 to 19 year olds and 20 to 24 year olds. The U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey is a national monthly survey that produces annual demographic, socioeconomic, employment, income, education, and behavioral estimates for households and individuals. About 354 million addresses are sampled each year to calculate estimates. American Community Survey I-year estimates were used for 2005 to 2014 to calculate employmentpopulation ratios by race/ethnicity and gender for 16 to 19 year olds and 20 to 24 year olds in the U.S., IllJnois, and Chicago ACS Public Use Microdata Sample data for 2014 were used to generate employment and school enrollment estimates by race/ ethnicity, gender, and age group in the U.S., IllJnois, Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles. Person weights provided in the data were used to generate estimates. Employment-population ratios (the proportion of the total civilian non-institutionalized population that Is employed) were calculated using ACS I-year estimates. Labor Force Participation Rates (the proportion of the total civilian non-institutionalized population that is in the labor force) were calculated using ACS 1- year estimates. Out of Work Rates (the proportion of the total civilian non-institutionalized population that Is unemployed or not in the labor force) were calculated using ACS Public Use Microdata Sample data Out of School and Out of Work Rates (the proportion of the total civilian non-institutionalized population that is not enrolled in school and is unemployed or not in the labor force) were calculated using ACS Public Use Microdata Sample data. 21 • Appendix C: Labor Force Participation Rates for Males and Females 2005 to 2014 When comparing labor force participation rates for 16 to 19 year old males and females in the U.S. between 20052014 (Figure 1), Labor force participation rates of both 16 to 19 year old males and females in the U.S showed a decline from 2005 to 2014, (Figure 1). In 2005, males and females participated at roughly the same rate but by 2014, when the gap was the highest, more females than males were in the labor force (38.8 compared to 36.4).

First evaluation of the Cure Violence model found reductions in shootings and killing of 41 % to 73% across seven communities in Chicago. This evaluation resulted in great interest in the model, including having UJC visited by senior representatives from more than 30 cities and 40 countries. Evaluation of Baltimore's Safe Streets Program: Effects on Attitudes, Participants' Experiences, and Gun Violence (2012) Authors: Daniel Webster, Jennfier Whitehill, Jon Vernick, & Elizabeth Parke Publisher: Johns Hopkins Center for the Prevention of Youth Violence. (A version is also published in the Journal of Urban Health) Evaluation of four sites in Baltimore found significant reduction in all sites by up to 56% for killings and 44% for shootings. This evaluation proved the ability to successfully replicate the model and is the most frequently cited public health article on the model. Testing a Public Health Approach to Gun Violence (2013) Authors: Sarah Picard-Fritsche, & Lenore Cerniglia Publisher: Center for Court Innovation Evaluation of one site in Brooklyn found that shootings were 20% lower when compared to control communities.

Dr. Finney: Just wanted to send you a brief note of "thanks" for your time spent meeting with me yesterday regarding the Coalition's statement of position on the City of Chicago's MWBE Ordinance. Thanks to MRE and Chairman Carrie Austin's leadership, supported by the Coalition, this week Mayor Emanuel announced a plan to extend the city's Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise Construction Program until 2020 and expand its participation goals. As we discussed, the program's goals for construction projects would increase to 26 percent minority-owned business (from 24 percent) and 6 percent women-owned business (from 4 percent). The ordinance also proposes to increase employment opportunities for minorities and women by creating jobs in underserved neighborhoods across the City. Also, "thank you" Jamie Rhee for your time spent with Dr. Finney and I, explaining the nuances of the MWBE programs and the Department Procurement Procedures and operations that encourage minority participation. Dr. Finney, on behalf of the Coalition it was exciting to see you share our enthusiasm and we accept your offer to create a collaborative strategy to ensure minorityspecifically African American businesses in Chicago - get educated and participate in the MWBE program, and ultimately increase African American participation in the program. The Coalition supports Mayor Emmanuel and the City of Chicago in their mission to foster greater growth of African American businesses which reduces unemployment and crime, stabilizes communities in some of our most vulnerable African American communities across the City of Chicago, I look forward to our follow-up meeting next week, Again, thank you both for your time spent yesterday.

Completed in 1923, the original Stony Island Trust & Savings Bank Building served Chicago's Grand Crossing, Woodlawn, and South Shore communities for six decades. After the building closed in the late 1970s, it sat empty and neglected for over thirty years. Despite its architectural beauty and historic importance, the rehabilitation of this building, which was close to demolition, was seen as an unrealistic and uneconomically feasible feat. In 2013, Theaster Gates took ownership of the structure and committed to an ambitious restoration of the building for a community arts and cultural center. In only two years, the rehabilitation has been completed and Gates' vision for the building has been realized, in time for it to serve as a venue for the inaugural 2015 Chicago Architecture Biennial. I commend Gates for his persistent efforts to restore the Stony Island Arts Bank and celebrate its reuse as a cultural center focusing on arts and cultural programming and the empowerment of local creative individuals and entrepreneurs. The project should serve as a model for successful restoration and community development efforts nationwide. I enthusiastically recommend the Stony Island Arts Bank for this prestigious award.

Most notably, NPS trained the entire police department of the NYNJ Port Authority, the DC Police Department and leaders in the US Navy Pacific Fleet. Typically, our engagements have followed high profile incidents reported in the press, much like the recent events in Chicago. The focus in these trainings is to create a culture of mutual respect where destructive behavior ls not tolerated. NPS ls prepared to offer critical training to the Chicago Police Department in order to create more positive po/Ice Interaction with citizens that de-escalates the potential for violence in managing high-risk situations. The Challenge: Much of the negative behavior, particularly the hostility displayed in the recent incidents, can likely be traced back to the Department where Officers do not feel safe within the ranks. Most police cultures are semi-military operations in which the officers have limited freedom to express themselves. There is often a "Code of Silence" that discourages Officers from admitting to feelings of fear or apprehension. Officers are typically reluctant to intervene to express disapproval of a fellow Officer's behavior. Consequently, when such fears are not expressed or dealt with, the hostility that is displayed on the street is the end result. The Officers as well as the Community must have assurance of emotional safety If the police and community are to come together in a collaborative way. Many Departments across the country have been averse to criticism. As a result, they close ranks because of their feelings of "US vs. THEM" as a defense mechanism. This can be exacerbated by the reluctance of Department leadership to change their processes and procedures. An outside expert point of view ls essential to break this cycle and bring new crisis management strategies to Officers in critical situations. The current program of internal training and enhanced use of tasers focuses on de-escalation, which is essential. However, equally Important is the verbal mastery designed to prevent an escalation when the Officer is confronted with a contentious situation. This skill building must be a key part of any training. NewPolnt Recommendation: NewPoint recommends a program to augment current training with External Pairing of seasoned Officers from other jurisdictions that can teach Best Practices to CPD Internal Officers. External experts will bring a fresh perspective and help to eliminate the perception of collusion within the ranks, especially because of the "Code of silence" that exists throughout law NewPoint Strategies Proposal to Chicago Police Department www.newpoint.biz 1 703.217-1377 • enforcement. The outside trainers have the ability to validate Officers "where they are", and develop strategies to improve their skills and support each other. At the same time, best practices demand that Officers hold each other accountable for any action that is contrary to the rules, regulations or procedures of the Department. This external input is paramount to building trust and transparency for the police and for the community. Note that this effort will be time intensive but this public commitment to changing the internal culture of the CPD will ensure results and regain the confidence of the community. Our approach will be led by NewPoint's lead Police expert, Benjamin Brooks, retired Major in the Pennsylvania State Police. Major Brooks was a key member of a multi-agency task force that was responsible for training Police and Corrections Departments throughout Pennsylvania in the Ethnic Intimidation laws relating to hate crimes. Major Brooks will lead a team of 4 external trainers. Plan af Action: 1) Outside Officer Pairing: o Pair Outside Officers with Internal Officers to teach proven methods of containing explosive situations; Outside Officers will work with internal Officers currently doing training as a team effort. o 2) Teaching verbal mastery skills to de-escalate potentially violent situations: o Focus on verbal skills to change the attitude of "US vs THEM" when approaching a potentially violent situation; o Understand the '1ight or flight" reaction to stress and learn coping skills to stay calm, build trust, and not over-react to a threat. 3) Police will be given continuous oversight and accountability: o Ongoing oversight of Officers who over-react violently, even if they are exonerated for various reasons; o Emphasize that the hard wiring that led to the initial incident cannot be reversed in thirty days of administrative leave; o Teach Officers how to intervene to prevent their fellow Officers from engaging in destructive behavior; o Psychological counseling and ongoing monitoring of the Officer's behavior before he/she is returned to the community. Outcome: 1. The Police will be better equipped to handle potentially violent situations. 2. The public will have increased confidence in the Police Department's ability to handle situations in a fair and unbiased way. 3.

As a regular reader of your column I think you will find some value in our "Building on Burnham plan". Would love a chance to speak to you about our parks - let me know a good time. Rahm MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO Remarks by Mayor Rahm Emanuel "Building on Burnham" Hamilton Park March 22, 2016 AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY A little more than a century ago, Daniel Burnham presented his Plan for Chicago that made our city known as the "City in a Garden." The world has changed since Burn ham's time - and so has Chicago - but his principles remain true today. Our neighborhoods and communities have expanded well beyond the lakefront and the river banks of Chicago. Today, the river runs right through many vibrant communities -- giving us the opportunity and the responsibility to make the river work for our neighborhoods today in the same way that it worked for our industries a century ago. Our river will be Chicago's next great recreational park. The Chicago Park District runs the largest citywide after-school program, so investing in our Park District keeps our children safe and strengthens the social fabric of our communities. Here at Hamilton Park, 7th District Police Commander Larry Watson, along with CAPS, organizes a summer baseball league for more than a hundred kids in the neighborhood. And at Fosco Park, on the Near West Side, 12th District Commander Edward Kulbida, runs a youth basketball tournament which I opened up a few weeks ago. Page 1 of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO So as we continue working to make our neighborhoods safer, our parks and playgrounds must continue to play an essential role. A new century for Chicago requires a new plan for Chicago's parks and recreational spacesbuilt on Burnham's original insight. Our plan - Building on Burnham - will bring the spirit and benefits of Burnham's original plan to every resident of Chicago. It will use Chicago's two bodies of water-our river and our lake -to enhance the quality of life in our neighborhoods. It will make our parks constant places for play, and also spawn more centers of opportunity and learning for our children and families. And it will elevate the status of our existing parks to help bring cultural vibrancy and economic growth to every Chicago neighborhood. Chicago remains the "City in a Garden." Now is the time to make sure the garden blooms in every neighborhood in our City. ****** Our plan for the future of our parks will build on the foundation and the vision that we pursued over the past five years. Thanks to the strong leadership of Superintendent Mike Kelly and the Park Board -- chaired by Brian Traubert for over five years and now chaired by Jesse Ruiz -- together with residents and community leaders throughout Chicago, we have begun to reinvest in and reinvent our park system. Page 2 of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO Nearly three years ago we launched Chicago Plays, an ambitious initiative to rebuild and modernize 325 stand-alone playgrounds. It is one of the largest efforts of its kind for any city in America. Having a park close by is a key factor in bringing and keeping more young families in our neighborhoods. This summer, we will complete the remaining playgrounds, a year ahead of schedule. In addition, some of our communities have now received completely new park space. Last year, thanks to the commitment of so many community leaders, we opened La Villita Park, also known as the Big Park in Little Village. Located on the old Celotex site, it was the largest brownfield conversion in America. It transformed polluted and unusable land into a park that serves the children and families of Little Village. This past June, we opened the 606 -- an idea that the residents had been advocating for decades. We helped make their vision a reality, and now people from around the city and around the country are walking, running, and biking on that great promenade connecting four communities. I want to thank all of the architects led by the team at Van Valkenburgh Associates for their great design. In the past year, we opened two new nature areas - one on Northerly Island as part of the Museum Campus and one at West Ridge at Western and Peterson. By this fall, we will open the first phase of Big Marsh- a 278 acre bike park and nature preserve on the South Side, giving families throughout the city access to the natural wonders of the Calumet region. I want to thank everyone from SRAM for promoting the Big Marsh Bike Park and for their partnership in this effort. Page 3 of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO And last year we opened Maggie Daley Park, honoring the visionary work of Chicago's former First Lady. We took a piece of land on our lakefront that was long ignored and reclaimed it for children and families from all across Chicago. Adding up all of these efforts, together we have created the equivalent of five Millennium Parks across Chicago. In addition to all of these projects I just mentioned, in the past five years we have also added 750 acres of parkland in our city. So, as you can see, the Park District has been working hard to improve and create new park space. Now we will accelerate those efforts through our Building on Burnham plan, which I present to you today. ****** Let's start with our lakefront - the most heavily used part of our park district. Lake Michigan has always been Chicago's front yard. It is our greatest natural resource and one of Chicago's most important cultural, recreational, and commercial sites. The recreational heart of our lakefront is the Lakefront Trail- an 18-mile pathway connecting communities from South Shore to Edgewater. More Chicagoans than ever before are walking, running, and biking along this unique trail- and that's great. But more traffic brings more bottlenecks - and even some collisions. That's why, as part of this plan, we will improve the Lakefront Trail to make it safer, more accessible and more enjoyable for Chicago residents. Page4 of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO By 2018, we will complete the Navy Pier flyover. We will also create separate trails for runners and bikers - from 31st to 51st on the South Side and from Fullerton to Ohio on the North Side. No longer will you have to hear repeatedly, over your headphones, "on your left." In the next three years, we will completely repave seven miles of the Lakefront Trail with a clear north and south divider to make it safer for everyone. We will also add unique features along the lakefront including gathering places within the Burnham Wildlife Corridor for children to learn about nature, a pool and event space at the 31st Street Harbor, more art installations along the trail, including a work by Yoko Ono in Jackson Park, and a state-of-the-art climbing wall at Steelworkers Park. And we will add a new triathlon training space at Ohio Street Beach. But even with all of this, some of our communities and their residents still remain cut off from the lakefront - like the greater Bronzeville area. Residents in Bronzeville can see the lake but they cannot easily reach it. To expand access to the lakefront and its amenities, we will open the 35th Street Bridge this August, featuring a spectacular design by John Hillman. The bridge will link the community to a new park district facility with a swimming pool and an arts center. This year, we will also begin construction on pedestrian-only bridges at 41st and 43rd Streets, and reconstruction of the bridges at 31st Street and Oakwood Avenue. These bridges will finally give people of Bronzeville, the quad communities, and Kenwood easy access to the lakefront at multiple points. Pages of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO This week, we will cut the ribbon on a brand new space for Theater on the Lake at Fullerton and begin construction on more year-round space for up and coming theater companies. As a Congressman, I began the process to secure funding for this project and I am proud that, as Mayor, we will see it become a reality. We all know the lake is our front yard. These spaces and investments are its welcome-gates. Together, it is my hope that they will be the most significant and sustained investments in our lakefront since the days of Daniel Burnham. ****** The Chicago River is the spine that connects many neighborhoods throughout our city. There are more miles of waterfront on our river than on our lakefront. If the lake is our front yard, then the river should become our residential backyard. In our Building on Burnham plan, we will fulfill the pledge I made upon taking office as Mayor-to make the river- Chicago's next great recreational park. We will finally make it part of our neighborhoods rather than a separate part of the city given over to industry and commerce alone. When we closed Chicago's last two coal fired power plants four years ago, we decreased the amount of industrial traffic, opening up the river for recreational use. All those decades of industrial use took their toll on the river. Today, we are transforming it from an eyesore of our industrial past into an anchor of our neighborhoods. Page 6of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO We created the Great Rivers Chicago initiative, led by the Metropolitan Planning Council and Friends of the Chicago River. The goal is to take a broader look at all three of our region's rivers -the Chicago, the Calumet, and the Des Plaines Rivers. The new vision for the Chicago River that I am announcing today is an outgrowth of that process. I am also proud that the health of the river is being restored as a part of this process, as noted yesterday in the Chicago Tribune. Forty years ago, there were just seven aquatic species in the River. According to the Friends of the Chicago River, today there are 75. In the past four years, we have invested in the river's recreational use. We have opened three boathouses along the river-in Ping Tom Park and in River Park, both designed by Chris Lee, and in Clark Park, which was designed by Jeanne Gang. This fall we will open our fourth and final boathouse- Eleanor, in Bridgeport, also designed by Jeanne Gang. This means there will soon be a place to enjoy the river in every part of the city, whether for canoeing, kayaking or crew. Last May, thanks to the tireless advocacy of Friends of the Chicago River, we opened the first phase of the new Chicago Riverwalk. It has taken a part of the city that was closed for decades and opened it up for families and guests to enjoy. When completed this fall, the Riverwalk will span over a mile and a quarter from Lakeshore Drive to Lake Street on the west end. Its purpose is to give our residents direct access to the river. And its beautiful design is a testament to the great work of the architectural teams from Ross-Barney and Sasaki Associates. Page 7 of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO I want to thank all of those who are bringing this dream to fruition - from the architects to the engineers to the construction workers who are out there completing the work as we are here talking today. The Riverwalk is transforming the area along the river in our central business district. The plan we are announcing today will bring that same renewal to neighborhoods from the South Branch to the North Branch. We are ending the days of people being cut off from the river and reengaging it to improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Our plan ensures that residents will have an opportunity to access and enjoy the river on an average of every mile along the north and south branches, whether it's through an extension of the Riverwalk, a boathouse, or a pedestrian bridge. • This past Sunday, we announced a new rails-to-trails project along the river called the Pilsen and Little Village Paseo. It will transform an abandoned railroad corridor into a vibrant recreational space for the residents of Pilsen and Little Village, fulfilling a pledge I made after we cut the ribbon on the 606. We are also expanding the Riverwalk from Roosevelt to Harrison in the South Loop, paving the way for more recreational and economic opportunities in that fast-growing neighborhood. We will construct two bridges. One is the Riverview Bridge - a two-block long pedestrian-only bridge in Albany Park. The second one is a new connection to Horner Park under the Irving Park Bridge, meaning there will be one less road to cross for walkers, joggers and bicyclists. Page 8 of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO And we will expand Thillens Park below Devon Avenue to give its surrounding residents more greenspace along the river. When all is said and done, we will make the City of Chicago unique in the country for having two separate and distinct waterfronts that are open, accessible, and desirable for residents and visitors alike. And it will give residents along the river the same kind of amenities that people enjoy along the lakefront. ****** Building on Burnham will also expand cultural and recreational opportunities for our children and families in every neighborhood, building on the success of our Night Out in the Parks program. Last July, we broke ground on the new XS Tennis Facility in Washington Park on the South Side. We have invested in a new track at Gately Park on the South Side. We hope the State of Illinois will follow through on their commitment from 2014 to invest their resources to support this project and more importantly to support the kids of Chicago. And we will also be investing in a new rec center for Addams/Medill Park on the Near West Side that will have two baseball fields and more green space for recreation. But this is not just about creating new fields or building more bricks and mortar. We are rethinking the entire programming model -working together across different agencies and departments to better serve the residents of Chicago. Page 9 of12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO Our goal is to make all their facilities more accessible and the programming they offer more desirable and effective for our youth. For example, the new Beverly and Morgan Park Sports Center offers programs in gymnastics and ice sports. At Big Marsh kids can partake in adventure sports. At Columbus Park they can learn soccer and golf. And at Clark Park, they can play football, baseball, soccer, and crew-ensuring that kids from across our neighborhoods have access to different sports. We will also make space available in these public facilities for community partners, so they can offer their own programming for kids across Chicago. Every child in every neighborhood deserves to have these opportunities within their reach. Soon, they will. ****** As we connect our children to more recreational and educational opportunities, we will also connect them to the natural areas that exist all around us. When it comes to the beauty of our natural areas, the Second City should never be second to none. From fishing to biking to walking off the beaten path, Chicago offers the chance to experience nature without ever leaving the city limits. Now is the time to open more of these natural areas for more of our families to enjoy. Today, our park district manages 65 protected natural areas, encompassing more than 1,400 acres throughout the City of Chicago. In the past four years, we have doubled that acreage through planning and conservation efforts. Page 10 of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO Building on Burnham will take this expansion of natural areas to the next level. It sets a goal of two-thousand-and-twenty acres of protected natural areas in the City of Chicago by the year two-thousand-and-twenty. ****** For the past century, Daniel Burnham's original plan helped make Chicago true to our motto as the great City in a Garden that we are today. It was the blueprint for ensuring that Chicago could co-exist with our growing industry through having parks, beaches, and museums to serve our residents while attracting visitors from around the globe. Building on Burnham stays true to that vision by ensuring that as our economy continues to grow today, we will also enhance the quality of life for residents in all of our neighborhoods. As Chicago grows, we have a responsibility to build on Burn ham's plan and strengthen it to see the river and other parts of the city in a way that Burnham could never have envisioned but stays true to his principles of a City in a Garden. Some may suggest that this is not the time for this project - that our city doesn't have the resources. But I believe that we have a responsibility to make our neighborhoods safer and stronger and to give more of our children the opportunities that our parks and recreation can offer. Page 11 of 12 MAYOR'S PRESS OFFICE • CITY OF CHICAGO Let's be clear. It was Daniel Burnham who said, "Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood. Make big plans and aim high in hope and in work." By being more creative, more collaborative, and more comprehensive in our vision, we will extend Burnham's blueprint to every corner of Chicago. We will create recreational and economic opportunities for thousands of residents, draw visitors from downtown into other neighborhoods, and keep children in every neighborhood safe, engaged, and learning. Beyond being the largest after school program in the City, we will also continue to make sure that these Park District projects expand economic opportunities for all of our residents and youth alike. Most importantly, our Building on Burnham plan will help ensure that the "city in a garden" is within reach of every child in Chicago. In this way, we can ensure that our children "make no little plans" - because we want their dreams and their futures to be unlimited. Thank you. Page 12 of 12 • Thank you, President Ruiz. And thank you for pointing out that this building was designed by Daniel H Burnham and company, whose work continues to inspire us today. On behalf of every employee of the Chicago Park District, I can honestly say that it is a pleasure to have the support of a Mayor and a Board that recognizes and appreciates the importance of parks. As General Superintendent and CEO of the Chicago Park District, I have the awesome responsibility of ensuring every, child, family and community has access to parks and quality recreational programming. These resources are vital to the overall health of all communities, without exception. Under Mayor Emanuel's leadership, we have witnessed dramatic expansion of Chicago's park system, including the addition of over 750 acres of new parkland, 256 new playgrounds and more than $800 million in capital investment from public and private sources. In addition to those accomplishments, the Chicago Park District: We've become a nation-wide model in the park field. We earned state and national accreditation - which is extremely rare for an urban park district; and was awarded the Gold Medal of Excellence for excellence in park and recreation management. Achieved success with Night out in the Parks series which annually brings over a thousand free events to Chicago neighborhoods became so popular we have expanded it to YEAR ROUND. And, it is so popular in fact, that the "My Chi Parks" App, launched just one year ago carries the distinction of being the most downloaded municipal app - 75K and growing! We see that as a sign of how our residents view our parks as an essential part of their lives. We understand the business of parks. We commissioned an economic impact study, and it confirmed that every park in Chicago has a positive impact real estate values. This study is being replicated in other cities. And like any good business, we listen to our customers. We have implemented neighborhood visioning meetings that bring our entire team, along with representatives of CPS and the police department, to a different neighborhood park each week to discuss facilities, programming, outreach, concerns and other issues that impact that park. Together, we create a customized vision for each park and implement a plan that also takes future developments and changes in the surrounding community into consideration. By implementing a strategic plan, we put children first, not revenue. Last year we gave nearly $2.1 million in discounts and financial aid because NO child gets turned away for the inability to pay. • And we've seen record registration numbers - In fact, we had nearly 156,000 more registrants in 2015 than 2011. Last year through direct programs and partners, we served over 600,000 peoplel And as a park district, we welcome over 40 million visitors to our parks, zoo and museum annually. And finally, we continue to invest in our parks. In the last five years, we invested over $BOOM through our parks and our schools to expand recreational opportunities in every part of the city. We have either built or improved 220 facilities and made more than 350 outdoor investments like turf fields. These and other projects have made sure that our youth and adults can access an indoor or outdoor recreational opportunity no further than one mile from where they live. While we maintain true to our Midwest roots in sports like baseball, basketball, football and soccer... we have expanded the sports of the East with more Rugby and Lacrosse, while embracing the west with outdoor recreation like hiking, camping and mountain biking. Over the past three years, camping programs in the City of Chicago have expanded by 50 percent. To meet this growing demand, we will launch our Chicago Explorers program in partnership with REI. Our goal is to give 4,000 Chicago adolescents the chance to go camping every year - right here in their own city. In just a few moments, Mayor Emanuel will discuss his plans to continue this comprehensive strategy of investments in our parks, waterfronts (Lakefront and Chicago River), and neighborhoods. As you've heard, that plan is called Building on Burnham. In closing, I often say, our success is measured by the number of people that come through our doors. Our goal is to see every park brimming with children, families and seniors; and every program filled to capacity. In order for that to happen, we must continue to take a thoughtful approach to the decisions and investments that we make in all communities. At this time, I would like to introduce a video highlighting a small sample of what's so great about Chicago's parks.

Kudos to you for making it happen! I applaud your Parks announcement. "Building on Burnham" is bold and ambitious and will have tremendous impact on our neighborhoods. I do also want to put in a reminder about a bike trail i had spoken to you about when I was in your office. Covering a distance of more than six miles and named after legendary African American cyclist Marshall "Major" Taylor, the Major Taylor Trail runs through the following neighborhoods: Brainerd, Gresham, Beverly, Morgan Park, Roseland and West Pullman. I ride this trail frequently with my family. However, the trial has suffered from underinvestment for years. Why does this matter? The trail honors Marshall W. "Major" Taylor (1878 -1932) who was one of the most celebrated bicycle racers of the late nineteenth century. He was also African-American. As you have developed 606 and will develop Paseo and other like trails, blacks lament the condition of this trail. You should know this. Now, some (mostly whites) will argue that the get high use, but the challenge is it's pretty shitty most of the time so it deters use. If you build it they will come. Food for thought. If you ever want to ride it - I'm game. Warning - I am probably not as fast as you. Regarding Black United Fund-Henry's son mentioned this, and maybe others. If you aren't already aware, in the past City of Chicago employees could make direct payroll contributions to the Black United Fund and other organizations. I know personally because Dwayne and I both contributed directly when I was on the Police Force. I don't know why those direct payroll contributions were discontinued. Perhaps it is something worth looking into. City employees could take a more active role in supporting important organizations in their own communities.

Carlos Osorio / AP R O N A L D B R O W N S T E I N CHICAGO—Howard A. Tullman, the chief executive officer of the technology incubator called 1871 doesn’t exaggerate when he calls the bustling operation “a start-up factory.” Working from a 130,000-foot facility in the imposing old Merchandise Mart building here, 1871 currently provides office space, mentoring, courses, and networking opportunities to 425 companies, their workers hunched over laptops in the cavernous workspace. Firms nurtured by 1871 have created 4,500 jobs since the incubator opened in 2012. One core service 1871 provides to its tech entrepreneurs is exposure to like-minded international counterparts. It has established working relationships with start-up accelerators in cities from Mexico City and London to Tel Aviv, and regularly brings delegations through to meet with its budding firms. “We’ve learned that you have to be global from day one,” says Tullman. “It may take a while. But [our companies] are very sensitive as to how do they build connections into the big...other markets: China, India, Europe, South America.” 1871’s default instinct toward global engagement captures a larger dynamic almost completely obscured in a 2016 presidential race dominated by criticism of free trade: Mayors and private sector leaders in almost all of America’s major metropolitan areas believe they can accelerate growth and expand opportunity by deepening their integration into the world economy, not retreating from it. “Mayors are becoming much more aware that cities need to be active participants in the global economy,” says Amy Liu, the director of the Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program. “It’s not just about connecting their firms to consumer demand through exports. They are also becoming more focused on what can cities do to position their economies [as] the destinations for foreign students, foreign firms, and supply chains.” Particularly among Democrats, this metropolitan globalism has opened a chasm between the party’s local and national leadership. In the presidential race, Bernie Sanders has unreservedly denounced free trade deals like the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership that President Obama completed last year; Hillary Clinton has feebly bent in that gale, abandoning her own earlier support for the Pacific agreement. Far fewer congressional Democrats than in the 1990s are backing free trade, too. But the nation’s mayors—most of them Democrats, especially in the larger cities— remain overwhelmingly committed to free trade in general and the Trans-Pacific Partnership in particular. The U.S. Conference of Mayors has officially endorsed the Pacific pact, and it has drawn enthusiastic praise from big-city Democratic mayors such as Atlanta’s Kasim Reed, Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel and Tampa’s Bob Buckhorn. Buckhorn sees TPP as a chance to grow the 80,000 jobs the giant Port of Tampa already provides. The agreement enhances “our ability to sell made in America goods to largely the Far East via the Panama Canal,” Buckhorn says. “It would be foolish not to support that.” Other mayors like Emanuel see opportunities in exporting not only goods but also business services, which tend to cluster in cities—like the young software engineers congregating at 1871. Completing TPP “is essential for the architects who work here, the lawyers, the manufacturers, our software developers,” says Emanuel. “Growth for Chicago’s economy requires more markets to sell into.” Even in places where the statewide debate favors protectionism, mayors and local leaders in such cities as Columbus, Ohio, are investing in aggressive strategies to promote exports and attract foreign talent and investment. Christopher Cabaldon, the mayor of West Sacramento, California, since 1998, remembers that when he first started attending Mayors’ Conference meetings on trade only mayors from cities with big ports or major exporters would participate. Now, cities of all sizes recognize their stake in finding their global “niche,” says Cabaldon, who chairs the Mayor’s Conference committee on jobs. So many cities, in fact, have successfully tapped global opportunities that Brookings research shows that the nation’s 100 largest metro areas account for nearly 90 percent of all U.S. exports and roughly three-fourths of jobs in foreign-owned companies. The top 118 metro areas also host 85 percent of foreign students. These same population hubs are now increasingly indispensable to Democratic political fortunes. In 2012, Obama amassed more of his total victory margin in just his 100 best counties than any presidential winner since at least 1920. And Democrats now control the mayor’s offices in virtually all big cities—even in the reddest states. Yet in their national debate, Democrats are elevating the protectionist sentiments of blue-collar workers who largely vote Republican over the desire for expanded trade in the growing urban centers that now anchor their electoral coalition. Buckhorn and Cabaldon are two of many mayors scratching their heads over that calculation. Both men say the answer to understandable anxieties about economic change is to provide workers in threatened industries with training to compete for new jobs—not to renounce opportunities from expanded trade in the vain hope of protecting existing firms and jobs. Blocking trade agreements, Cabaldon notes, won’t stop the changes powered by the unrelenting forces of technological advance and global competition. “The notion that you can just freeze your metropolitan economy in place right now, or the way it used to be, is just a fiction we [mayors] can’t live with,” Cabaldon says. “So it’s a question of what are the tools we have to make the best of the opportunities, reduce the suffering from the dislocation and then figure out how to compete.” Neither Sanders nor Clinton has framed the new economic reality anywhere near so cogently. It’s a special kind of Democratic myopia that America’s inexorable integration into the global economy looks so much clearer from the base of the party in the cities than it does from its apex in the race for the White House. • Sender: Sent: Recipient: Subject: Mike Paulman < Thursday, March 24, 2016 9:44:47 PM Rahm Emanuel Lori Healy MayorLori healy has an idea to run by you, believe it's about lucas but not sure.

Appointed on December 30, Prime Minister Kvirikashvili is making his first official visit to the United States but is no stranger to Chicago or the state of Illinois. A finance graduate of the University of Illinois, he has served in many pivotal roles in Tbilisi, including as Economy Minister, Foreign Minister, and Deputy Prime Minister. He is also a former banking executive and businessman. Prime Minister Kvirkashvili has emphasized the importance of US-Georgia relations in the context of his country’s continuing integration into the Euro-Atlantic partnership. He is also putting considerable emphasis on Georgia’s economic relationship with China, not least as a potential transit point for landbased trade between Asia and Europe. He hopes to use his visit to Chicago and other U.S. cities to explain his government’s approach to east-west trade along the so-called “new Silk Road” corridor, Tbilisi's relationship with China, and how the United States and US businesses might bolster their own economic role in his country. The Paulson Institute has great interest in China’s economic development. So with Georgia potentially playing an important role in Beijing’s multibillion dollar trade and transit initiatives, the Prime Minister’s visit struck me as a useful opportunity for us in Chicago to learn how things are playing out on the ground in the Caucasus. I hope you will join me and look forward to your active participation in our small breakfast discussion. Please RSVP to Lisa Castro at lcastro@paulsoninstitute.org.

It was great to tour the space with them again. Also, Valerie Jarrett who happened to be in town got a chance to get a glimpse of the great programing happening in the space. On another note, I wanted to give you an update on O’Hare Art Project, as you know we are only managing the curatorial art side of the project. The RFQ call for artist was issued per DMJM directive, and as part of the contract they are to handle and manage communication with the city. I’m not sure if they’ve informed you that the RFQ is live. We are already receiving great interest from artist who want to apply. Thanks for all your support and believing in my ability to curate. Would love to catch up some more when you have time. P.S.

See attached information per our conversation. • City Builds on Road to Reform, Immediately Implements Nearly a Third of the Police Accountability Task Force Recommendations New Reforms a "Down Payment" on Recommendations, Opportunity for Reform will Continue Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Superintendent Eddie Johnson are announcing today that the Chicago Police Department is taking the next steps on its road to reform by immediately implementing nearly a third of the recommendations from the Police Accountability Task Force. The city is further reviewing and developing an action plan around the remaining recommendations. The actions center on three core goals that have been the focus of the city's ongoing reform efforts: strengthening police accountability and oversight, restoring trust between police officers and residents of Chicago, and increasing transparency. The actions range from strengthening CPD' s Bureau oflntemal Affairs so it can better hold officers accountable for wrongdoing, to improving CPD training programs so they help officers better understand cultural differences. The reforms go beyond the police department. All the city's 911 call takers and dispatchers at OEMC will undergo new training to improve their interactions and deliver the best service possible to the public. "As a city, we cannot rest until we fully address the systemic issues facing the Chicago Police Department, and the steps announced today build on our road to reform," said Mayor Emanuel. "Under the leadership of Superintendent Eddie Johnson, the police department will implement these reforms immediately while we continue to work together to find additional ways to restore the fabric of trust in communities across Chicago. As we look towards the future, our city will be better off because we faced up to these challenges and confronted them head on." "Trust is at the heart of good policing, safe communities and is the central challenge facing Chicago today," said Superintendent Johnson. "These reforms are a down payment on restoring that trust, and build on the important progress we've made in recent months. Working together with community leaders, parents, ministers, youth, and others, we will continue to build on this progress in the months and years ahead." In addition to the reforms being immediately implemented, the city is committing to the police oversight concepts recommended by the Task Force, including independent investigations of serious police misconduct, a new Public Safety Auditor, a role for citizen oversight, and increased transparency and independence for the entire system. The city has begun discussions with the United State Department ofJustice (DOJ) on the Task Force's recommendations in this area and will continue to consult with DOJ as we develop a strategic plan to accomplish these goals and create a robust, effective police discipline system. In the meantime, IPRA is committed to implementing the Task Force recommendations for how it should conduct business in this interim period. "We are at a historic moment for reform in Chicago's history, and under the leadership of Mayor Emanuel and Superintendent Johnson, we are taking steps in the right direction to address the issues facing the Chicago Police Department," said Chairman of the Public Safety Committee • Ariel Reboyras. "We have more work to do in order to rebuild public trust and restore accountability in the police department. In the weeks and months ahead, we'll be working with leaders across the city and the City Council to continue to address these important issues." The Task Force report made at least 76 specific recommendations, and more than 30 percent of them are now being implemented. Those items are listed below. To ensure successful implementation of the reforms and to provide transparency, the city will issue quarterly, written progress updates and make them public. Rebuilding Trust Between CPD and the Residents of Chicago: Community Bridge Meetings (PATF p. 41): As part of the Police Department's efforts to rebuild public trust and heal the rift between the Department and minority communities, Superintendent Johnson has lead community bridge meetings over the past few weeks to discuss communitypolice relations and ways to overcome long-standing cultural differences. Moving forward, Superintendent Johnson will continue to facilitate community bridge meetings across the city in the beginning of May. Addressing Bias and Cultural Differences Through Training (PATF pp. 55-56): On his first day in office, Superintendent Johnson committed to connecting all new recruits to Chicago youth of different cultures and races through restorative justice methods. Building off a successful partnership with the YMCA called Bridging the Divide, CPD officers are being trained in restorative justice methods to discuss race, bias, perception and cultural difference in a safe environment. The first police officers participated in this expanded training at Marshall High School on April 15th; additional trainings will be scheduled in the coming weeks. investing in 911 Call Taker training (PATFpp 118-119): In response to recent incidents, OEMC is implementing new training for all 911 call takers and dispatchers to improve their interactions and deliver the best service possible to the public. Once training is completed, employees will be subject to progressive discipline for rude or unprofessional behavior. OEMC will also train for all 911 dispatchers on properly responding to and dispatching CIT-certified officers to scenes involving a mental health crisis .. Continuing to Invest in CIT Training (PATF pp. 120-122, 138): CPD's Crisis Intervention Training is a 40-hour certification on techniques to de-escalate confrontations with individuals in crisis, particularly people with mental illnesses. CPD will increase the number of officers fully certified in CIT by 50 percent by the end of 2016, and more than 30 percent of the department will be certified by the end of 2017. Going forward, all districts, on every watch, will be staffed by at least one CIT officer, and 911 dispatchers will have a current and updated roster of all CITcertified officers on duty on a given watch. In addition, going forward, all field training officers and supervisory classes will be fully certified in CIT. Finally, CPD is developing a 2-day, scenario-based training for all officers in de-escalation techniques and recognizing and responding to mental health crises; all officers will receive that training by the end of the year. Expanding Homicide Crisis Response and Recovery Model (PA TF p. 128): The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) and CPD have partnered with Chicago Survivors to • dispatch trained civilian responders to provide immediate response and support to family members of homicide victims, with ongoing services for up to six months. The City has expanded that pilot city wide for every homicide. Expanding the Use ofTasers (PATFp. 127): Since the start of the year, the number of Chicago Police officers who have been certified to use a Taser has quadrupled. More than 8,000 CPD officers have now been certified, and the Department is on track to have all officers responding to calls for service trained by June I. Community Education Campaign (PATF pp. 119-120): As part of the new Steering Committee to address law enforcement crisis response, the Chicago Department of Public Health is partnering with mental health practitioners to design a community education campaign to help residents recognize the symptoms of mental illness and inform them how best to respond to mental health crisis, including seeking help or emergency assistance from the City. Restoring Accountability in the Chicago Police Department: Expanding Use ofBody Cameras (PATF p. 141-142): This year CPD will expand its body-worn camera pilot to 7 police districts, covering more than a third of the City. Officers in those districts will be fully trained and using the cameras on a rolling basis between June I st and August 1st. Last week the Superintendent, First Deputy Superintendent, Chief of Patrol, all Deputy Chief of Patrol, the Deputy Chief of CAPS and the Deputy Chief of the Training Academy were trained and given cameras, which they are now using. Early Intervention System (PATF pp. 109-111): CPD is in the process of designing and developing an in-house, non-disciplinary early intervention system to provide additional training and supports for officers as needed. Collaboration to Improve and Enhance Misconduct Investigation (PATF p. 82): The Chicago Police Department, Independent Police Review Authority, and the Law Department have initiated a collaborative program to review officer discipline histories, patterns of alleged misconduct, civil settlements and judgments, citizen complaints and other data to focus resources, prioritize and open new misconduct investigations, and take disciplinary action against officers with histories of excessive force, where warranted. Expediting internal investigations (PATF pp. 84-85): Going forward, the Department's Bureau of Internal Affairs (BIA) will expedite the process in which supervisors review disciplinary recommendations to make sure discipline is swift and certain. In the past, this review process could take months. Going forward, in severe cases, the review will be completed in 45 days, and review ofless severe cases will be completed in 30 days. Improving the quality ofsupervisory investigations (PATF p 84-85): BIA will now train designated sergeants by district and unit to conduct internal investigations in order to make them more efficient, fair and consistent. · • BIA mediation standards (PATF p. 83): CPD is developing a set of guidelines to structure and clarify the eligibility and process for mediation of disciplinary actions. Misconduct Hotline (PATFp. 77): BIA will create a third-party hotline for members of the Chicago Police Department to report misconduct. Better training for investigators: BIA will require all of its investigators to complete the same training as detectives. Recording all interviews: Going forward, BIA will video record all of its investigatory interviews, consistent with CPD's current electronic recording policies for interviews in major felony cases. Discipline Guidelines (PATFp. 87): CPD is in the process of finalizing a discipline matrix that will bring a clear and fixed set of penalties for misconduct, taking into consideration mitigating and aggravating circumstances. Concurrent Investigations (PATFp. 85): BIA and IPRA administrative investigations will now proceed concurrently with any state or federal criminal investigation absent an express and compelling request from a prosecuting authority. Expanding Transparency: Implementing Chicago's Policy for Evidence Release in Police Involved Shootings (PATF pp. 133-136): In February, the Task Force on Police Accountability recommended a new City policy on the release of evidence, including videos, in police-involved shootings and other serious incidents. The Mayor embraced their recommendations, and six city departments have been working to collect relevant evidence and prepare for its release in the coming weeks. City to Issue Quarterly Progress Reports (PATF p. 45, 53): As part of the city's efforts to successfully implement these reforms and engage the public on this important work, officials will issue quarterly, written updates on the progress made to date. Reforms to IPRA: The city is committing to the police oversight concepts recommended by the Task Force, including independent investigations of serious police misconduct, a new Public Safety Auditor, a role for citizen oversight, and increased transparency and independence for the entire system. While the city considers options for structural reform for police accountability, the Task Force also made several recommendations for IPRA during this transition period. Chief Administrator Fairley has embraced these recommendations: Independent Auditing ofIPRA 's investigations (PA TF p. 164): Fairley has secured an independent audit of a statistical sample of past investigations and is seeking authority to audit its work going forward. • Community Outreach (PATF p. 164): Fairley and her staff have attended numerous community meetings are committed to forming a Community Board with broad representation. Clarify criteria for affidavit override (PATF p. 164): State law and the collective bargaining agreement require complainants of police misconduct to sign sworn affidavits before IPRA or CPD can finish their investigations, though there are circumstances when the City can and should proceed with a disciplinary investigation even without an affidavit. IPRA posted draft rules on Friday, April 15 to clarify when the Chief Administrator will override the affidavit requirement. Criteria for override include the seriousness of the offense, the credibility of the complaint, and whether the alleged misconduct concerns the integrity of the officers involved. Discipline Guidelines (PATFpp. 87, 164): IPRA, like CPD, is in the process of finalizing a discipline matrix that will bring a clear and fixed set of penalties for misconduct, taking into consideration mitigating and aggravating circumstances. Implement the Transparency Policy (PATF p. 164): IPRA has committed to implementing the new City policy on the release of evidence, including videos, in police-involved shootings and other serious incidents and has been working with other city agencies to prepare for its release in the coming weeks. • Sender: Sent: Recipient: Subject: Deval Patrick < > Thursday, April 21, 2016 1:40:04 PM Rahm Emanuel Re: You're welcome.

He'll have to be careful that he speaks with the same voice to each constituency; doing otherwise even a little will undermine you both.

A broad bipartisan coalition has come together to support the reforms needed to bring about this change. I wanted to update you on our Fair Chance Hiring Pledge. Two weeks ago, we officially launched the pledge here at the White House alongside 19 companies: American Airlines, Busboys and Poets, The Coca-Cola Company, Facebook, Georgia Pacific, Google, Greyston Bakery, The Hershey Company, The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Health System, Koch Industries, Libra Group, PepsiCo, Prudential, Starbucks, Uber, Under Amour / Plank Industries, Unilever and Xerox. The pledge represents a call-to-action for all members of the private sector to improve their communities by eliminating barriers for those with a criminal record and creating a pathway for a second chance. This week, as part of the National Reentry Week, we will make a second round announcement of additional companies and organizations who have joined the pledge. I am aware that your community has already taken steps to provide opportunities by enacting “ban the box” policies at the state and local level. Building on those efforts, we’d like to ask you to engage your local chamber of commerce and companies in your communities to sign-up to the pledge. If you are interested in engaging in this effort, please let me know with whom on your team we can discuss additional details. If you have any questions please contact Elias Alcantara at 202-456-3963 or ealcantara@who.eop.gov. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

These new guidelines build on our values as a city. We want everyone to know that-no matter your race, creed, religion, gender-you have a place in Chicago. These guidelines are more comprehensive and will further prevent any and all of our students from being excluded from any educational opportunities that their peers can access. Guidelines will also empower our principals and school leaders with better resources to address this issue and to foster an environment of safety and inclusion for all. These guidelines build on 2014 practices, and provide school leaders and teachers with training on how to properly and sensitively address students who are questioning their gender identity. The guidelines also offer more protection for transgender teachers, employees and other adults-whereas the previous guidelines provided only clarity on how transgender students should be addressed. Since taking office and throughout my career, I have made tolerance and equal rights a key issue. We have made several reforms in the City of Chicago to protect all of our employees and ensure that they have equal opportunities, no matter their gender or romantic/sexual preferences. I have also made clear that policies of other organizations discriminating against certain groups of people will not be tolerated here in Chicago. Furthermore, we have condemned policies by other governments that discriminate against certain groups-this includes the executive order banning travel to N. Carolina following the anti-LGBTQ law signed by their governor. Sent from my iPhone • Cl''rY 01? CH I CAO 0 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 5, 2015 CONTACT: Mayor's Press Office 312.744.3334 press@cityofchicago,org MAYOR EMANUEL ANNOUNCES CITY HEALTH CARE BENEFITS TO COVER GENDER REASSIGNMENT SERVICES Mayor Rahm Emanuel today announced that the City of Chicago is poised to remove the exclusion of gender reassignment services from city health care benefits; the change will be implemented for all non-union employees, and the city is working with labor partners to also remove the exclusion for union members. The change, which will apply to current city employees and their dependents, would go into effect on October 1, 2015. "Chicago is known for being a city that is welcoming to all and inclusive of every resident, and this new policy is in line with our efforts to support the rights and well-being of trans gender individuals," said Mayor Emanuel. 'With this change, Chicago will ensure that transgender city employees are able to receive the medical care that they need." Under the policy change, coverage of male-to-female or female-to-male surgical procedures would be standard for city employees covered by city health care plans and their dependents. The city is in the process of finalizing the specific criteria that must be met in order to receive coverage of these procedures and which specific procedures will be covered. The change is expected to be approved by the Benefits Committee during its August 11 meeting. The change to city policy comes after the American Civil Liberties Union of lllinois brought the denial of health insurance coverage for a trans gender city employee to their attention. "We commend the City of Chicago for recognizing that no one should be denied insurance coverage because of who they are," said John Knight, LGBT & HIV Project Director for the ACLU of Illinois. "More and more cities, states, private employers and the federal government have gotten rid of these outdated policy exclusions that make no sense, from either a medical or an economic standpoint It's wonderful news that Chicago employees will now have access to the gender affirming care they need." Chicago will be the largest city to remove the exclusion of these services from their health care plans, joining San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. Last year, a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services appeals board ruled that Medicare may no longer exclude sexreassignment surgery from coverage. Additionally, a number of companies based in Chicago or that have a large Chicago presence have already removed such exclusions from their private health :12i NOHTH LASALLb: STR,;ET. ROOM i:07, CHICAGO, lLLlNOJS 60(i02 insurance plans, including AbbVie Inc, Aon Corp., Exelon Corp., Groupon Inc., Hyatt Hotels Corp. and United Airlines. This action taken by Mayor Emanuel is one of many progressive stances he has taken in solidarity with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) community throughout his career in public service. While serving in Congress for the state of Illinois, he received an endorsement from the Human Rights Campaign, which gave him a score of 100 percent on issues of LGBTQ equality, and in 2005, he secured $1.25 million in federal money for the Center on Halsted, the Midwest's most comprehensive community center dedicated to advancing community and securing the health and well-being of the LGBTQ people of Chicagoland. More recently, as President Obama's Chief-of-Staff, he played an important role in the President's executive order on hospital visitation protections for same-sex couples. Since taking office as Mayor of Chicago, Mayor Emanuel has pursued and supported a wide range of initiatives to ensure that the City of Chicago is inclusive of LGBTQ individuals and communities in Chicago, including marriage equality. ### • ,.....,." ·,. · Chicago :\ .! pU bl"IC Schools !i", ' GUIDELINES REGARDING THE SUPPORT OF TRANSGENDER AND GENDER NONCONFORMING STUDENTS PURPOSE These Guidelines set out protocols for schools to address the needs and concerns of transgender and gender nonconforming students. These Guidelines cannot anticipate every situation that might occur with respect to students who are transgender or gender nonconforming. Consequently, the needs of each student must be assessed on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, the goal is to ensure the safety, comfort, and healthy development of students who are transgender or gender nonconforming, and to maximize their social integration. These Guidelines are supported by the following policies: Comprehensive Non-Discrimination, Title IX and Sexual Harassment Policy, Anti-Bullying Policy, Student Code of Conduct, and Sexual Health Education Policy. DEFINITIONS The definitions provided here are not intended to label students but rather to assist in understanding these Guidelines and the legal obligations of Chicago Board of Education staff and students. Students might or might not use these terms to describe themselves. • "Sex'' or "Biological Sex'' is a label a person is assigned at birth, often based on a medical professional's interpretation of the newborn's physical characteristics. Common examples may be "male," ,,female," or "intersex. 11 • "Gender identity" is the deeply held sense or psychological knowledge that individuals have of their gender, regardless of the biological sex they were assigned at birth. Everyone has a gender identity. Common examples may include "male/man/boy," "female/woman/girl,'' 11 trans/transgender/' "gender variant," "gender nonconforming," "agender," "gender non~ binary," or any combination of these terms. "Transgender" describes people whose gender identity is different from the biological sex they were assigned at birth. • • • • "Gender Nonconforming'' (also known as Gender Expansive, Gender Variant, or Gender Creative) is a term that refers to individuals whose gender expression does not follow social expectations or stereotypes based on their sex assigned at birth. "Gender expression" refers to the way a person expresses gender, such as clothing, hairstyles, activities, or mannerisms. An example of this may be a female expressing femininity or a female expressing masculinity. Preferred Gender Pronoun (PGP) is the pronoun or set of pronouns that an individual would like others to use when talking to or referring to that individual. Common examples include, "they,'' "their," "ze," "he'' and "she. 11 1 • • "Gender-affirming approach" is a framework used to create an environment in which transgender and gender nonconforming youth are able to live as the gendered person they identify themselves to be, and achieve healthy development and social, emotional, and academic success. • "Student Administrative Support Team" is a group that receives information on a confidential need-to-know basis and is convened to determine the appropriate supports for transgender and gender nonconforming students. The team should consist of the school principal, the student, individuals the student identifies as trusted adults, and individuals the principal determines may have a legitimate interest in the safety and healthy development of the student. The members may Include, but are not limited to, the parent/guardian, school nurse, school counselor, and/or assistant principal. The team is responsible for constructing a support plan which addresses the supports and accommodations provided to the student. The student's support plan shall be kept in the student's health folder and may be shared only with staff members who have a legitimate health, safety, or educational interest In the information. For additional guidance concerning the individuals that may be eligible to participate in student support meetings, contact the Network Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) specialists or the Office of Social & Emotional Learning (OSEL) at 773-553-1830. In determining who is eligible to participate, each situation will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and will consider factors, including but not limited to the student's age and any safety concerns. GUIDANCE All students need a safe and supportive school environment to progress academically and developmentally. CPS administrators, faculty, staff, and students all play an important part in creating and sustaining that environment. In order to better support transgender and gender nonconforming students, school principals shall ensure that these guidelines are implemented at the school level. If the student or parent/guardian expresses a desire for additional supports and/or accommodations, the principal may convene the Student Administrative Support Team to assist with timely and appropriate accommodations. The team should work closely with the student and/or the parent/guardian, if appropriate, to discuss individual needs and additional supports. The principal should also designate at least one contact person, of the student's choosing, whom the student may reach out to with any concerns, or if the student feels bullied or harassed at school. Discrimination/ Harassment It is the goal of the Chicago Board of Education to create a learning environment in all its school communities where students are protected from bullying, discrimination, and harassment. Therefore, it Is the responsibility of each employee to ensure that students who are transgender and gender nonconforming have a safe and welcoming school environment. This includes ensuring that any incident of discrimination, harassment, or violence is given immediate attention, including investigating the incident, taking appropriate corrective action, and providing students and staff with pertinent resources. Complaints alleging discrimination or harassment based on a person's actual or perceived transgender status or gender nonconformity are to be handled in accordance with the Anti-Bullying Polley (13-0724- 2 • P02), Comprehensive Non-Discrimination, Title IX and Sexual Harassment Policy (12-042S-P01) and Student Code of Conduct (15-0722-POl).

However, the intentional or persistent refusal by students or school staff to respect a student's gender identity (for example, intentionally referring to the student by a name or pronoun that does not correspond to the student's gender identity) is a violation of these Guidelines, the Student Code of Conduct, and Comprehensive Non-Discrimination, Title IX and Sexual Harassment Policy. Such violations will result in appropriate consequences for offending staff and students. Official Records The District maintains a permanent student record which includes the legal name of the student, as well as the student's biological sex.

This new law is an unacceptable act for a 21" century American government to take. Here in Chicago, we celebrate diversity and have a long and proud history of being a welcoming place for LGBT residents. As Mayor of the City of Chicago, I reject North Carolina's new law and am directing all City Departments to cease any City-funded or other travel by an employee representing, or otherwise traveling on behalf of, the City of Chicago to the State of North Carolina. Departments shall not authorize any employee travel that is not absolutely necessary for the enforcement of Chicago law, to meet prior contraLtual obligations, or for the protection of public health, welfare, and safety.

I think he'd be great and there is a window of opportunity coming up in June. There has been a lot of rumblings about City Colleges, so I think appointing would be viewed very favorably. 3. Finally, my plug for my home neighborhood. I am pretty sure that Roseland {Michigan Ave., from about 103rd St to 119th St.) was the second largest tax generating commercial district in the City post-WWII through the early 70's {second only to State Street).

Mayor Emanuel: Our next steps on road to police reform SUN TIMES// Mayor Rahm Emanuel//OP-ED// May 13, 2016 Five months ago, I pledged to the residents of Chicago that we would do whatever it takes to rebuild public trust and restore accountability in the police department. My goal is to bring safety to every community though building trust In our police department. That requires creating a new system for police accountability and oversight. Today I can announce that in the coming weeks, we will have the final details worked out on a comprehensive plan to fundamentally reshape our system of police accountability and it will be introduced at the following meeting of the full City Council on June 22. It will be based on the thoughtful suggestions made by my Police Accountability Task Force. It will also be informed by the conversations my administration is having with aldermen, community leaders, the U.S. Department of Justice and experts in the field. We want to make sure the police accountability system is trusted by the members of the Chicago Police Department and the residents of Chicago. The framework for the new structure was outlined in the Task Force's reforms and is driven by core principles that lie at the heart of the police accountability: independence, integrity, transparency and citizen participation. First, we will replace the Independent Police Review Authority with a new civilian • investigative agency that has more independence and more resources to do its work. Under the leadership of Sharon Fairley, IPRA has taken important steps to reshape and improve its investigative efforts. But it is clear that a totally new agency is required to rebuild trust in investigations of officer-Involved shootings and the most serious allegations of police misconduct. As we create this new civilian agency, the Police Board will continue to hear cases regarding those police officers who face allegations of serious misconduct, as required by Illinois state law. Second, we will create a new Public Safety Inspector General to audit and monitor policing in Chicago. It will have authority to conduct regular audits of the Chicago Police Department as well as investigations completed by the new civilian oversight agency. The IG's goal will be to identify and address emerging problems and trends in order to prevent acts of abuse from occurring in the first place. The office will be led by someone with impeccable credentials and credibility, Third, we will create a new Community Safety Oversight Board - comprised of Chicago city residents -to oversee the city's entire policy accountability system. Consistent with the Task Force's recommendations, this board will hold public meetings and require regular public reporting from the Police Department, the new civilian investigative agency, Police Review Board and Public Safety Inspector General. It will also be empowered to request audits and make improvements. The new board will give a voice to Chicago residents whose lives are affected daily by police practices. It will also provide a forum for our Police Department to respond to concerns and share information. Public dialogue is essential to building a common understanding of how best to keep our communities safe. I believe these guiding principles and key reforms will meet our goals for transforming Chicago's police accountability structure and reflect the conversations and proposals that have been offered by aldermen to me. Aid. Ariel Reboyras and Aid. Willie B. Cochran are committed to working with our office and leading the Council on drafting an ordinance that reflects these principles. This plan represents the second installment of the original down payment that we announced days after the Task Force published its report. The first installment focused on technology, transparency and training. This second installment is focused on accountability and oversight. And it is just one part of the city's work to restore trust between police and communities. As the Justice Department continues its review into Chicago police practices, they have identified urgent issues to address. The Task Force recently added its own recommendations. We must address the concerns of both, as well as those issues we have identified through our continuing engagement with the community. Some of those issues can and have been addressed immediately - from expanding body-worn cameras, to purchaslngTasers, to making sure more police are certified in Crisis Intervention Training. Other reforms will take longer and will require leadership and sustained effort as we make important changes - like those I've outlined - and work to make them permanent. Our goal has been to act quickly wherever possible but also to commit to the hard work to ensure all of our reforms will stand the test of time. As this process continues, we will issue quarterly reports so we can all be held accountable. While much work still remains, we will continue to make significant strides on the road to reform. To fully fix Chicago's police accountability system, we must be thoughtful and bold and have the courage to call out and address the root causes that have eroded trust between police and Chicago's communities and some of Chicago's residents. We will be judged by whether our actions truly measure up to the demands of the moment. I am confident that by creating this new structure and committing to this comprehensive plan, Chicago will be better off because we are facing up to these difficult challenges and we are doing so together.

The buildings housing the Art Institute and the Adler Planetarium are publicly owned. i ; ! i The Art Institute dates back to the World's Columbian Exposition. The directors of the fair constructed the building with the Intention of donating it to the city when the fair was over, to establish a permanent home for the Art Jnstltute. The 1891 contract states that "title and ownershlp' of the building 'shall vest In the City of Chicago, without any compensation ... , but the right to the use and occupation of said building ... shall be vested in the Art Institute of Chicago.• The city transferred the building to the South Park Commissioners, the legal predecessor of the Chicago Park District, in 1904. • 'i . . ! Max Adler financed the construction of the planetarium, but as the 'Donor' under a 1928 agreement, he expressly required the South Park Commissioners to 'accept' the museum 'upon completion.' 2. Ambiguous Private OWnershlp - Shedd Aquarium and Field Museum. Like the Art Institute and the Adler Planetarium, the Field Museum and the Shedd Aquarium were privately-financed, but neither building was donated to the city or the park district after construction. The 1915 and 1928 agreements governing the Field and Shedd do not directly address ownership. Instead, they Include the following ambiguous statement "If at any time the Trustees of said Museum shall cease to use said building for a museum as contemplated by this contract, au rights of said Museum in the above described site and the building situated thereon shall at once cease and determine, and said building shall thereupon be and become the property of the (South Park] Commissioners.' Although there is no title document vesting ownershlp of the Field and Shedd buildings In the non-profits that operate them, both institutions have exercised all rights and privileges of ownership. They have represented In bond financing documents that they Privileged and Confidential Attorney Work Product own their buildings, and they have listed the buildings as assets on their balance sheets. The Park District retains a reversionary Interest In the buildings, preventing any use of the buildings inconsistent with the agreements and requiring the buildings to be open to the public at all times and free of charge on certain days and at all times to school children. Pursuant to these "reversion" provisions, if the Shedd and Field buildings were ever used for some purpose other than as a museum open to the public, their buildings would become the property of the Park District. Option of Restructuring the Lucas Transaction l; I ; I ; I j i i From the beginning, LMNA has Insisted on having clear and unambiguous title to (!&, "ownership of') the museum building. LMNA has been concerned that, without a deed or other title instrument, Its ownership of the building is not secure and future administrations could challenge LMNA's Interest. As we made clear during the negotiations, we disagree. Based on the long history of the other museums, LMNA's concern about ownership rights should not be a concern. Conflict about ownership has never been an Issue. More importantly, In practical terms, there Is no difference between private ownership subject to a highly restrictive ground lease (the current LMNA transaction structure) and public ownership (Art Institute/Adler) or ambiguous private ownership (Field/Shedd) subject to a broad permit and operating agreement. In other words, LMNA could retain all of the ownership rights It currently has under the present ground lease agreement through a donation and lease-back of the museum building from the Park District, or through a permit and operating agreement similar to the agreements governing the other museums. LMNA's lawyers agree with us on this point. They are fine with LMNA following one of the existing models of ownership in the Museum Campus, subject to secure, long-term operating rights. The disagreement on this Issue has always been with Mr. Lucas and/or his senior advisors. The public ownership model would demonstrate the greatest commitment of LMNA to the public nature of the project. But if LMNA will not agree to outright public ownership of the museum building, the Field/Shedd "ambiguous" private ownership model would still show a willingness to make changes in response to criticism and could have an Impact on public opinion. Once again, either model would give LMNA all the rights it currently has under the ground lease to operate the museum. • Sender: Sean Rapelyea < > Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2016 3:34:12 AM Recipient: Rahm Emanuel Subject: Fwd: [SPAM] Re: IRA Support of Gender Identity Protection Ordinance Attachments: image003. png;image007. png;image004. png;image002.j pg;image005. png;image006. png;imageOO 1. png Please see below. -------- Forwarded message-------From: S Toia > Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Subject: Fwd: [SP AM] Re: IRA Support of Gender Identity Protection Ordinance >, Clay Diette > Fyi...always the team player.. .it is all about managing up and managing down!

I know it's been two asks in one week, and I told them I'd run it up the flagpole! The Mayor's Director of Policy Planning was asked by the Mayor himself to reach out to the IRA on this one ... • As you have probably seen in the news, North Carolina recently passed a state law that curtails the rights ofLGBT individuals, in particular transgender individuals. The Mayor has joined other elected officials across the country to ban official travel to North Carolina . 80 major CEOs have signed on to a letter demanding repeal of the North Carolina law that outlines that such laws are bad for business, and make it harder to attract tourists, new businesses, and economic activity. Today, the Mayor along with Aldermen Burke, Tunney, and members of the LGBT caucus introduced an ordinance to further protections for transgender individuals in the City. 1n the 1990s, the City passed a law that defined "gender identity" as a protected class subject to the City's Human Rights Ordinance. As part of that law, there was a carve out that required individuals to use public accommodations (such as bathrooms or locker rooms) in accordance with the gender identified on their government issued id. The ordinance introduced today removes this provision and ensures individuals can use any public accommodations in association with their own gender identity. Please see the ordinance attached. This ordinance places no mandates on business (such as requiring gender neutral facilities). All this ordinance does is protect individuals to use public accommodations in relation to their own gender identity which is in line with the guidelines established by the US Department of Justice and is in place in other U.S. cities. Please share your thoughts on the IRA putting out a letter of support for this ordinance. Thank you, Sam Sam Toia President & CEO Illinois Restaurant Association Chicago Gourmet 33 W.

It’s been a terribly busy week or two though so I was a little exhausted when we met, so please excuse me if I seemed a bit tired. Anyway… I wanted to get back to you on your request. We could plan to be the lead sponsor for this event, but if I may be so forward, we have two contingent requests of you, assuming we were to agree to do this. The first request is that, when it comes to the biennial in 2019 that we will not be asked to be a sponsor at any significant level . Please know that that does not signal a lack of enthusiasm for your architectural program at all, but rather it simply means that we have a lot of people knocking on our door for donations, and we would just as soon not sustain this level of contribution beyond 2017. So after 2017 we would prefer not to sponsor future biennials and direct our donations to other causes that are also a priority and important to us. The second small contingent request, is that your team, is able to agree with Kelly Semrau ( ahead of time), on the short list of things of what it will mean to be lead sponsor. In other words (if I can be so crass), what can we expect in the way of recognition/signage at key events, what can we expect in the way of announcements (for example, you offered a joint initial announcement of our sponsorship with you and I), among a handful of other things. Please know we don’t have significant expectations in this regard, but it would help us to get a bit of recognition for being the lead sponsor, and most importantly be planned and organized in the way we approach that, especially if we decide to tie an advertising program into it, like we did last year with the bus stops and billboards. If you are agreeable to these couple of things, then, yes we can do this. So if you want to proceed, if you can let me know the right person for Kelly to contact that would be helpful. I know you have a lot of thorny issues on your plate, so I apologize for making this a bit complicated, but I just wanted to be really straightforward in our desires if we were to do this.

It got no pickup. They are going to give it to Politico for the morning and then make another run at it tomorrow. June 3, 2016 Office of the Governor James R. Thompson Center 100 W. Randolph, 16-100 Chicago, IL 60601 Dear Governor Rauner, Earlier this week, you made a stop downstate where you let Chicago residents know how you really feel about us when you claimed that our city isn't filled with hardworking families who pay the taxes in Illinois. Then you took it a step further when you said taxes should go into all communities except Chicago. Maybe it's time someone educates you. Chicagoans pay a larger percentage of our incomes in taxes than you or your billionaire friends - the same ones you protect from paying their fair share while ordinary people suffer. When both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly passed education funding bills last week, they were standing up for children in poverty across Illinois, and they should be applauded. Yes, Chicago is one of those districts, but they shouldn't be punished for their demographics. We truly have to question whether you believe there is something about the 84 percent of Chicago Public School students who are African-American and Hispanic that makes them undeserving of the full funding provided to other communities in Illinois. Or, perhaps you are trying to stoke racial resentment with these divisive and misleading attacks. '~ '.··., \Jli} ••• And we also have to wonder if you would have made those same comments if school districts in Moline or Itasca had the same demographics. Governor, you should also be educated on the fact that the academic growth of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has continued to accelerate over the past four years, with these gains largely occurring while the rest of Illinois remains stagnant. More importantly, CPS is responsible for the academic overall growth made by the entire state. According to the National Assessment of Education Progress ("The Nation's Report Card"), CPS's gains in math and reading were among the highest in the nation for large, urban districts and took place while the rest of Illinois remained flat. Just last month, U.S. News and World Report ranked seven CPS high schools among the top ten high schools in the state, and four of them were also ranked nationally. Imagine what these students could achieve with the funding they deserve. The House and Senate have shown that they are color blind when it comes to our schools. They know that we need to put more resources into the classrooms, and to help our neediest students reach their full potential - no matter what part of the state they live in. Now you need to do the same.

Obviously devastating for the victims and families, and probably more retaliation related to perpetrators as well. I don't know the intent or effort of the NYT reporters, but there is a real "lack of presence" in this story by the Mayor, the Police Superintendent, community leaders, business people, clergy leaders and activists. Not only are citizens dying on the streets, but the City of Chicago's reputation is dying in the minds of America. This continuing narrative, there was a story similar to this one about a week ago, will unfortunately continue as a "theme" about our great City without an aggressive push back and positive/affirmative action on the parts of many, as we've discussed at recent dinners. It also seems to me, that if 50 of the 64 people killed are on "the list", then what is being done with the information on "the list" to prevent shootings or protect victims? It just seems that some rather extraordinary and emergency actions may need to be taken at this stage, possibly unprecedented, to "prevent and protect", which may raise legal eyebrows, but I do believe that there are times of crisis and emergency that can at least temporarily justify taking extraordinary actions on behalf of overall public safety. Chicago is in a "state of crime emergency", and must address this issue in an open, direct and possibly dramatic fashion. If the City is sued for its actions, but crime is significantly reduced, then the public will understand and appreciate the effort. > > I am sure what you needed was another opinion but as someone in the trenches with these folks almost on a daily basis both in Woodlawn and now Englewood I am deeply > worried .

Justin justin kintz I head of u.s. public affairs@ uber technologies I +1-561-523-59771 kintz@uber.com With the press of a button, anyone can get a ride in Chicago, anywhere, anytime. As Secretary of Transportation under President Obama, I saw first hand how access to reliable transportation can positively impact lives across America. As a fellow Illinoisan, I have seen this in full effect first hand in Chicago. Sadly for many Chicagoans, reliable transportation is a luxury they cannot afford, and city transit lines end where poverty begins. For many who have benefitted from ridesharing services like uberX, getting from point A to point B is more than just a destination; it means access to jobs, education, and opportunity for a better life, something to which all Chicagoans are entitled. Earlier this year, Alderman Anthony Beale (9th) proposed an ordinance that would take transportation choices away from hard-working Chicagoans, and remove work opportunities for those who rely on ridesharing for income. The ordinance, if passed, would mandate all current Uber driver-partners pay over $300 for a chauffeur's license, and be fingerprinted putting an end to affordable and reliable rideshare transportation. Since uberX launched in Chicago, over a million passengers have been able to reliably get to and from their desired pickup and dropoff locations-myself included. These pickup and dropoff locations include parts of Chicago that taxi services have ignored for decades. According to City of Chicago data, ridesharing provided 92 percent of the rides to and from underserved communities over the last six months, while taxi only provided eight percent. That's a staggering difference. For years, we've all heard stories about taxi drivers discriminating against not just individuals, but their pick ups and drop off locations as well. The data from the City of Chicago proves that. Ridesharing also complements public transportation. Where the bus and rail lines end, ridesharing has been there to solve the "first mile, last mile" problem. Doors to opportunity have been opened up because an individual now has access to transportation lines they otherwise wouldn't have access to. A three mile walk to the bus line is now a 1O minute Uber ride. If Alderman Beale's ordinance is passed, ten's of thousands of work opportunities will disappear overnight. For nearly three years, over 35,000 economic opportunities have been created as a direct result of ridesharing in the city of Chicago. The majority of driver-partners live on the south and west sides of Chicago, which covers areas that face some of the highest unemployment rates in the city. Rather than trying to construct barriers to both economic and transportation opportunities, the City Council should be applauding what ridesharing has done for the city of Chicago. Jobs have been created and city is now more accessible than ever before, at no cost to taxpayers. Without the option of affordable and reliable transportation, Chicagoans who have come to rely on ridesharing, especially those who use it for the first and last mile of their commutes, will have their lives drastically altered, and not for the better. Not only will individuals who drive for Uber be out of a job, individuals who rely on Uber to get to their current job will be left with no option but to look for new work, access to specialized treatments for illness may not be an option, and the city of Chicago takes a step back into the past. Let's not play politics with the future of ridesharing Chicago and the economic livelihood of millions of Chicagoans; the city of Chicago needs ridesharing. I encourage the City Council to choose transportation and economic opportunities for all by defeating Alderman Beale's ridesharing ban.

I have cc'ed Rahm to this ema Rahm's Airbnb tax idea to fund efforts to help the homeless sounded great. Hopefully, collaboration between Chicago and Buenos Aires can yield other helpful ideas. I also believe you should pass along the idea lift the import restrictions on pressure pumping equipment to take advantage of the over $1 billion of idled and excess supply of that equipment currently in the US. You could buy the equipment at cents on the dollar and use it to jump start your fracking efforts in the Vaca Muerta. This would also bring in some US $'s into the country, first in the form of investment and later from the sales of the oil. Additionally, given that Schlumberger and Halliburton are currently pulling out of Venezuela due to lack of payment by the government, I imagine they would be happy to redirect those workers to Argentina.

Aside from this article, I had already been thinking about the issue again, having spent the weekend (with Steve and family) and talking with a bunch of young talented people who had all left Chicago to pursue careers elsewhere. We have some of the finest schools of design – Art Institute and IIT to name just two that graduate hundreds each year in various types of design (jewelry, clothing, furniture, and more) yet the City does almost nothing to keep and support them. (The paltry design center that existed in Macy’s does not cut it). It’s great to support tech with 1871 and the like but I’d like to see us support a greater diversity of skills and keep the young and creative here. There is more to life (thankfully than tech and finance). And, for better or worse we have plenty of space. You, Rahm, among all mayors, I know really gets this. Let’s make it happen. By the way, on another issue – the way we kept Bungalows from being disfigured when we started the Bungalow program was to tie loans and grants to approved designs. (These programs, by the way, which cost the City really nothing) endeared the City to homeowners – They and the Bungalow and Green Home Expo should be restarted. Literally the Expo itself drew 6 to 10 thousand people a year was beloved and as we raised all the money from sponsors also cost the City nothing. If you want to talk about these things, let me know. http://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20160706/OPINION/160709954#utm_medium=email&utm_source=ccbmorning10&utm_campaign=ccb-morning10-20160706 O P I N I O N Dear City Hall: The wait time for my permit almost squashed my small business Comments Email Print By: REBECCA MUELLER SHARE Facebook1 Twitter LinkedIn5 Google +0 Photo by Kristan LiebRebecca Mueller of North & Hudson If you are thinking of starting a small business in Chicago, you might want to have an attorney lined up to help push things through City Hall. Last week, my mobile fashion boutique, North & Hudson, finally hit the streets after months of sitting on the sidelines waiting for approval from the city. After leaving my career in finance and graduating from fashion school, I watched dozens of my classmates flee Chicago for places like New York or Los Angeles. But I was determined to stay here in Chicago and to support local fabric and manufacturing businesses with orders from my clothing line. I purchased a 25-foot truck, similar to a food truck, and customized it to look like a walk-in-closet on wheels. In April 2015, I approached City Hall with confidence. I'd memorized the city code for obtaining a peddlers license—a street peddler is a person who moves from place to place, whether on private property or on the public way, selling from a wagon, motor vehicle, hand cart, push cart or other vehicle—and I was excited about getting my mobile boutique out on the streets. Imagine my disappointment when the city denied my application, saying that peddlers can't stop and park to serve customers. The city assured me that they were working on a solution. However, in the coming months, my calls to the city were met with few answers and no solutions. Discouraged, I reached out to a law clinic at the University of Chicago Law School. The lawyers and law students at the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship told me that the city had already created a solution: the emerging business permit. Created in 2012, this permit was meant to make room for businesses that did not quite fit in an existing license structure. The permit gave innovative businesses two years to operate and gave the city two years to create the appropriate regulations for these businesses. But—I was surprised to hear that the city had only ever issued one emerging business permit! Could it really be that just one creative, out-of-the-box business had traveled through City Hall since 2012? That seemed unlikely. I started pushing for an emerging business permit in October 2015, and it wasn't until June 2016 that the city finally issued the permit. My dream was to create an easy shopping experience with unique, locally made items. The city's delay almost put me out of business. Now that I'm up and running, local manufacturers get business, local designers have a new place to showcase their fashions and emerging fashion grads get to see an example of what it looks like to keep your talent here in Chicago. While I'm thrilled to be licensed now, I would be remiss if I didn't call attention to an opportunity that is being squandered. The emerging business permit has great potential, but it only works if it is actually used. Not every innovative business has a law clinic on its side or a year's worth of patience and savings. I hope the next novel business to make its way to City Hall is met with a red carpet instead of a maze of red tape.

Do you know what weight they can bear? While at City Hall, I asked about liquor licensing at your larger Rockwell site (without mentioning the actual project name, ownership or location) and was informed that: • if each separate liquor related business has its own address and facilities fence/wall, then each can have its own liquor license • there can not be multiple liquor licenses accessing a shared space (e.g. river front, public space between buildings) because clear liability cannot be assigned to a liquor license holder; the Office of Public Way might need to make a judgement on site design and use. Ia.€™m sure you know more about these permitting issues than I do, but liquor licensing can get complicated.

We put calls in to the reporter and his editor as soon as the story was posted asking them to include the positive language because otherwise the quotes are taken out of context and not consistent with what I said or its intention (as could be seen in the live interview I gave to ABC immediately following). In addition, I've just changed my travel plans for tomorrow morning to be able to go on WVON and provide the counterweight to an "anti-Rahm" guest regarding tonight's speech because I want a clear and unedited voice and understanding of my support of this plan and the fact that while tonight was an unprecedented and important step, I believe the Mayor understands the need for sizable economic investment as an equal priority in attempting to solve a complex, multi-generational issue and it's something that we are working on together and rm hopeful it becomes a reality very soon.

Walsh • Abstract For many years, the Department of Water Management (DWM), and other city departments have relied on the Kronsos Time and Attendance System along with manually completed time sheets to track employee attendance and record absences. A combination of automated and manual record keeping is redundant and departments still have the challenge of employee accountability. Streamlining a universal automated system for DWM, and possibly the City of Chicago, would increase the accuracy of employee acco\lntability, absentee recording, and in some cases increase productivity. Using simple technology in the form of an app on II sma.rt phone, or tablet, can change the way our department accounts.for its employees and the.ir whereabouts. Using an app called Canvas; I have created a user friendly program which can create a digital time stamp, gps location, and photo recognition for all employees. The data taken from the app is streamlined to department heads in the form of.a time sheet, or exported into a spreadsheet. .For the pwposes of this proposal, the author will focus on the importance of an automated attendance system specifically for DWM. Other Chicago departments can review this proposal and apply the methods used therein as they deem fit for their daily operations. Importance ofan Automated Attendance System Current Practice DWM has been using the Kronos system as an.automated time keeping tool to determine employee accountability on a daily basis. Once.an employee swipes in using Kronos, they are required to sign in and out with their immediate supervisor. Using the Kronos system and signing in and out with a supervisor is effective in some areas of DWM, and ineffective in others. For example, district personnel must use the Kronos as their only swipe location because the .district is where an employee be.[lins and ends theirworkday.>tonstruction personnel and other staff also use the Kronos system, but do not be.[lin or end their workday near a Kronos machine, yet they are required to swipe in and out using Kronos. Now an employee must go to a designated City of Chicago facility, swipe in using Kronos, and then travel to their job location to meet their supervisors and sign in on the time sheet. The process js repeated in the afternoon when the employee is required to swipe out using Kronos and sign out with a supervisor. The time lost in the morning and afternoon could be described as lost productivity due to the current swipe policy. Two places at once DWM construction operations are spread throughout the City of Chicago. Our current water crews are assembled by one Foreman supervising three separate crews in different locations. Page 3 oflO S.Walsh • With three crews in different locations, how can the Foreman be in two, or three, places at once? With a Foreman having three separate swipe locations, it is impossible for the Foreman to maintain 100% accountability in the morning, and afternoon. According to a report by Chicago's Absenteeism Task Force, manual employee time records are inaccurate and tend to have more errors than automates systems (Page 9). The previous statement can be proven true by an employee claiming to be at a swipe location and the Kronos machine was not functional. The Foreman cannot verify the employees claim, because ihe Foreman is at a separate location and has no way to verify ihe validity of the employee's statement. Now, ihe employee can arrive late, or leave early, without penalty. Obviously, a pattern of abuse can be determined if an employee consistently makes claims ofbroken Kronsos machines, and disciplinary action can be taken, however by then the employee already has cheated the system out of time and productivity. Problems with Kronos The Krpnos system has its share of bugs and glitches, but for the majority it is a reliable system. The problems DWM construction has with Kronos, and why it is ineffective for our daily practices are: • Kronos Machines are not on DWM corisfruction locations. • Not all employees are classified as "Super Swipers" and they are unable to swipe in and out with ihe Kronos system until they are manually imputed. • Hand calibration is often needed several times a year. • Travel time between the swipe location, arid the job location is lost time in productivity. • Kronos machines are often "out of order". • The swipe location is not ihe same as the foreman location for signing in and out, losing 100% accountability for the Foreman, • If a person misses a swipe, more manually filled out paperwork must be completed and filed. While the aforementioned problems with Kronos can seem minor, they are a daily issue and can be simplified with an updated automated system. Page 4 oflO S. Walsh • Why Go Automated? According to the report by Chicago's Absenteeism Task Force, automated timekeeping systems provide enhanced monitoring and minimize errors (Page 9). The previous statement alone should be more than enough of a reason to go automated, but here are more reasons why: • Allows the time keeping system to go completely paperless. • Provides 100% accountability of aUemployees. • Increases productivity by having employees on the jobsite longer, • Eliminates errorin manual time sheets, • Eliminates lost time sheets, • Eliminates edit sheets for missed swipes. • Provides employee accountability to supervisors faster. Canvas Since the spring of 2016, I have been creating a program which is used in the form of an app on tablet or smartphone. The app uses base software from a company named Canvas, Canvas' platform allowed me to encompass employee accountability using time and date stamp software, gps tracking, signature approval, and photo recognition. Quite simply, and employee arrives on thejob1ocation in the morning, checks in with the Foreman, and by using the Foreman'siPad or smartphone can create a digital sign in sheet with verification in less than 30 seconds. The digital time sheet can be sentto all supervisors related with the crew, and can be exported i11to a spreadsheet for payroll purposes. When an employee is not on the job location, or takes a day off, the Foreman can input the appropriate pay/non pay code on the sheet to reflect the employee's status, thus creating I 00% accountability. If you review the example on page 6, you will see the employee fills in their name and title, then the software automatically inputs the time and date for the employee, The employee cannot change the time or the date set within the program. Once the time and date has been plugged in, the employee is required to sign the document. After the document has been signed, a photo is taken of the employee to verify identity. Finally, a gps snapshot is taken and sent on the timesheet to ensure the employee was at the proper job location. S.

Rahm Emanuel Friday, September 30, 2016 11:41:55 PM Bruce Reed Academic.Overview.9.30.FINAL.docx Preparing Kids for College and Career Few across the country know that the students of the Chicago Public Schools - the nation's third largest school district with a student population that is more than 85% low income - have outpaced the academic growth of their national peers in both math and reading. while reaching historic highs for average ACT score and graduation rate. These improvements set Chicago apart from other large urban districts and are a testament to the hard work of CPS students, parents, principals, and teachers. Furthermore, more students than ever are gaining access to early college credit-making it possible for them to enter college needing less coursework and consequently saving money. Graduation rates {Class of201 R1: While graduation rates have grown over the course of the past two decades. according to the University of Chicago, the most rapid gains in graduation rates have taken place since 2010. The CPS graduation rate climbed to a record 73.5% in 2016, up more than 16 percentage points over the five years since 2011- an increase of nearly one-third. By comparison, the national graduation rate has increased by only a few points over the same period of time. Early College Credit: • • • • • • • • CPS announced that more than 9,200 graduating seniors in 2015-2016 (SYlS-16} earned early college and career credentials, which make college more accessible for our students and prepare them to succeed in higher education. Total participation in programs that award college and career credentials have increased by 1,200 students over last school year to 40.6%, and represent a 9.4 percentage point increase since 2014. These programs are a strong indicator of college preparedness and put the District closer toward meeting Mayor Emanuel's goal of at least SO percent of all CPS high school graduates attaining these credentials by 2019. Advanced Placement (AP): 5047 students at a total of107 CPS high schools earned credits. New AP data released by The College Board shows that there were over 36,000 exams taken in Chicago Public Schools in 2016 which is more than a 2,000 exam increase since 2015. The percent of exams scoring at a 3 or higher reached 42% which is an increase of 3 percentage points from 2015 and the highest since 2005. CPS is among just 14 school districts in the country and is the only district of its size to be lauded on the College Board Honor Roll for: (I) 30% or greater enrollment in AP classes of American Indians, African-Americans and Latino students; (2) 30% or greater enrollment of low-income students; and (3) achieving this distinction for multiple years. International Bacca)aureate (lB): 876 students earned credits on 1B exams, and more than 13,300 CPS students were enrolled in 18 courses at various grade levels. o As home to the largest network of 18 schools in the nation, CPS has increased enrollment in 18 programs by 370 percent over the past five years, with 1B participation in high schools quadrupling. Participation will continue increasing as some schools are in the process of achieving authorization to serve more students in the program. Career and Technical Education (CTE): 1,466 students earned an industry certification and more than 17,600 students were enrolled in one of the District's CTE programs, which offer industry-focused technical programs that prepare students for future career opportunities. Dual Credit: 2,026 students earned college credit through a dual credit course. Dual Enrollment: 1,503 students earned college credit through a dual-enrollment course. (ROTC: 999 students earned a Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps credential. College Enrollment: According to the University of Chicago, the college enrollment rates for CPS students are on par with national rates. In 2015. the four-year college enrollment rate for 2014 CPS high school graduates was 42% compared to 44% nationally. The CPS rate is up from 33% in 2006. Additionally, the University of Chicago found that 20% of CPS 1 • graduates enrolled in a two-year college, making the overall college enrollment rate 62%, compared to 68% nationally. College Scholarships and Gates Millennium Scholars; This year, CPS graduates earned a record-setting $1.16 billion in scholarship offers, a 20 percent increase since last year. Overall, scholarship dollars earned have quadrupled over the past five years-up from under $300 million in 2011. Additionally, for seven of the last eight years, CPS has led the nation in the number of Gates Millennium Scholarship recipients. Established in 1999, the Gates Millennium Scholarship Program is funded by a $1.6 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and is designed to remove barriers to education for highperforming, low-income students. STAR Scholarship: • • In 2015, Mayor Emanuel launched the first of its kind Star scholarship, which provides students who graduate with a 3.0 GPA (B average) and who test completion ready in Engl!sh and Math the ability to pursue an associate degree at City Colleges at no cost -free tuition and books. In Its first year, the Chicago Star Scholarship has enabled more than 1,000 CPS graduates to pursue their degree from CCC free-of-charge. The first cohort of Star Scholars achieved an 86 percent retention rate from fall to fall, suggesting that students enrolled in this program are more likely to persist in their coursework toward a degree. This fall, 1,920 STAR students are enrolled at City Colleges. Fifteen Chicago universities committed to providing scholarships and transfer assistance for Chicago Star Scholars. Each of the 15 university partners have committed to creating an opportunity that will allow Star scholars to continue their college education following a successful completion at CCC. These packages range in monetary value between $2,500 and nearly $50,000 each year. Exam,;,les ofSchools to Highlight: • • • • • Kenwood went from 100 students earning an ECCC in 2014 to 170 in 2016 (or from 32% to 53% of their graduates). Their dual credit program went from 37 students in 2014 to 111 students in 2015. Von Steuben went from 97 students earning an ECCC in 2014 to 205 earning an ECCC (from 32% to 55% of their graduates). Hubbard went from 92 students earning ECCC in 2014 to 177 overall (27% to 52%) and from 16 to 71 students earning dual credit Jones HS went from 169 students earning ECCC in 2014 to 245 overall (81 % to 91 %), and from 6 to 126 earning dual credit Previous to that they were earning ECCCs mostly through AP. They also went up in AP from 168 to 232 students. Schurz went from 73 students earning ECCC in 2014 to 145 overall (17% to 31 %], mostly by ramping up in AP (28 to 79 students]. 2 From: Mary Ellen Caron [maryellen.caron@afterschoolmatters.org] Sent: Friday, October 07, 2016 9:10 AM To: emanuel.rahm@gmail.com CC: Nouha Shwehdi; Shannon.loredo@cityofchicago.org; Stockdale, Sarah Subject: After School Matters thanks you!

More schools have risen to the highest rating category, and fewer schools are ranked in the lowest category, further evidence of the systematic improvements in Chicago's schools. Finally, over the weekend as thousands of runners were trying to break records in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Chicago broke another kind of record. We are already one of only three U.S. cities to welcome more than 50 million visitors annually, and in the first three quarters of the year Chicago saw record tourism again - 2 percent growth from 2015, putting us on pace for 53 million visitors this year.

Last week S&P announced they upgraded their outlook for the financial future of the City of Chicago from negative to stable. This is a major milestone for the city. They follow Fitch, who also improved their outlook for the city three weeks ago. Both recognize the strength of our economy and lauded our work to address decades of financial mismanagement, from shrinking the budget deficit to putting all four city pension systems on the path to long-term solvency. Below is an article from Crain's Chicago Business on the news. http://www. chi cagobusiness.com/article/20161007/BLOGS02/I 61009864/sp-gives-chicago-some-good-creditnews Additionally, after years of hard work, we opened a new Whole Foods in the Englewood community on the South Side in late September. This was an important moment in Englewood's economic development. Not only did we create new good-paying jobs for Chicago residents in Englewood and give more than 30 local vendors the opportunity to sell their goods on the shelves of this new store, we brought healthy and nutritious food to a former food desert. Today, we opened another new grocery store on the South Side, a Mariano's in Bronzeville, which will create 400 new jobs and stock its shelves in part with products from local vendors. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/10/10/whole-foods-marianos-di p-toes-poor-chi cagoneighborhoods/91794408/ Chicago also generated some major news in the corporate world. In late September, Wilson Sporting Goods announced they are relocating 400 employees and their global headquarters to the Prudential building downtown. Last week we learned that Chicago will soon be home to the new Mars Wrigley Confectionery which will be world's largest candy company. There's also more good news about continued progress of our students. Following recent record-setting achievements by CPS students, this year more than 80 percent of schools in the district were rated in one of the top 3 ratings levels--compared to just 70 percent of schools last year. More schools have risen to the highest rating category, and fewer schools are ranked in the lowest category, further evidence of the systematic improvements in Chicago's schools. Finally, over the weekend as thousands of runners were trying to break records in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Chicago broke another kind ofrecord. We are already one of only three U.S. cities to welcome more than 50 million visitors annually, and in the first three quarters of the year Chicago saw record tourism again - 2 percent growth from 2015, putting us on pace for 53 million visitors this year. • Have a great week and go Cubs . Rahm • Sender: Sent: Recipient: Attachments: Rahm Emanuel Friday, October 14, 2016 3:13:20 PM Dave Leonhardt educational gains (10-13-16) v6.docx Dave, Great to catch up with you. Attached is the information we discussed on our educational gains. Rahm • Five Years of Growth: CPS Academic Gains Since 2011 Since 2011 the students of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) have outpaced the academic growth of their national and state peers in both math and reading. while reaching historic highs for average ACT score. freshmen-on-track to graduate rate. and graduation rate. These improvements set Chicago apart from other large urban districts and are a testament to the hard work of our students, parents, principals, and teachers. These gains were also supported by important reforms secured in the 2012 teacher's contract including lengthening the school day and year and strategic investments to expand proven programs like International Baccalaureate and STEM education. Reading and Math: NWEA: CPS performance on the 2016 NWEA (Northwest Evaluation Association Measures of Academic Progress) scores, the standard for 2nd through 8th grade academic achievement, demonstrated that 6 out of 10 students are reading at or above the national average at CPS. with more than half matching or outpacing peers nationally in math. Since 2013. reading is up more than 13 points while math increased by nearly 10 points. The performance of CPS 7"' and 8"' graders was particularly noteworthy- two-thirds of7"' graders and 73.2% of 8th graders read at or above the national average while nearly 60% of 7"' graders and two-thirds of 8th graders matched our outpaced their national peers in math. NAfil:: According to NAEP, "the Nation's Report Card," CPS students were among the national leaders in gains for both 8"' grade math and 4"'grade reading on the national benchmark assessment In fact, Chicago was one of only three urban districts - joining Washington DC and Miami-Dade - to have experienced academic growth in math and reading in both the 4"' and 8<> grades in 2015. Since 2003, Chicago has the second best growth in the nation among urban districts for both 4th grade and 8th grade reading. Math Results Eighth grade CPS students achieved the greatest growth in the nation among their urban peers in math, registering growth of 6 scale-score points since 2013, up 21 points since 2003. The state oflllinois as a whole, by comparison, showed growth of 5 scale-score points since 2003. Fourth grade CPS students added to their 2013 nation-leading 7-point growth in math with another 1-point increase. for an 18-point gain since 2003 • near]y halfof this growth has taken place since 2011. The state as a whole, by comparison, showed a growth of 4 points in fourth-grade math since 2003. Reading Results In reading, fourth grade CPS students achieved the third highest growth in the nation among their urban peers with growth of 7 scale-score points since 2013 and 10 points since 2011. Of the 15 points in growth achieved by cps 4"' graders since 2003. two-thirds took place between 2011 • 15. The state as a whole, by comparison, showed a growth of 5 points since 2003. 1 • Eighth grade CPS students posted an average growth of 4 scale-score points in reading since 2013, for an average growth of9 scale-score points since 2003. The state as a whole, by comparison, showed a growth of 1 point since 2003. Grad rates and on track data CC/ass af201 €V Today, CPS students are making record gains, and literally breaking records with high school graduation and college enrollment rates.

A key driver of this graduation rate growth has been the district"s focus on its freshman on track to graduate rate. In 2007. the University of Chicago released a report that laid out the key drivers of determining whether a 9"' grader was on track to graduate from high school. CPS adopted this metric and began issuing school-level reports of freshman on track rates, The 2016 freshman on track rate was 87.4%. up from 69% in 2011.

In 2015, the four-year college enrollment rate for 2014 CPS high school graduates was 42% compared to 44% nationally. The CPS rate is up from 33% in 2006. Additionally, 20% of CPS graduates enrolled in a two-year college, making the overall college enrollment rate 62%, compared to 68% nationally.' Eor(v College and Career Credit: To increase students' participation in opportunities that will prepare them for post-secondary success, earlier this year Mayor Emanuel set a goal to have 50 percent of students attaining early college and career credentials by 2019. This past year, 40.6 percent of high school students earned early college and career credentials, a more than 10% increase from 2015 (36% of students earned credit) and a 30% increase from 2014 (31% of students). University of Chicago Consortium on School Research, Educational Attainment of Chicago Public Schools Students; 201S: A Focus on Four· Year College Degrees Qune 2016), 3 https;//consortium.uchicago.edu/sites/defauJt/files/pubJications/EducationaJ%20Attainment%20of%20Chi cago-Jun2016-Consortium.pdf. 3 • Students are able to earn early college and career credentials by achieving passing scores on Advanced Placement tests (3 or above) or International Baccalaureate tests (4 or above), or by earning credit in Career and Technical Education, Dual Credit, Dual Enrollment or )ROTC programs. Advanced Placement; Since 2011, CPS student participation in AP college-level coursework has increased by 30% to reach a total of more than 22,000 students taking the exam, while the number of students earning a passing score-at least a 3 or higher-on at least one AP exam has increased over 61 %. The pass rate for the exam has increased among all ethnic groups, including among African-American and Latino students. CPS is among just 14 school districts in the country and is the only district of its size to be lauded on the College Board Honor Roll for: (1) 30% or greater enrollment in AP classes of American Indians, African-Americans and Latino students; (2) 30% or greater enrollment of lowincome students; and (3) achieving this distinction for multiple years. Reforming Community Colle,ge: Starting In 2011, the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) underwent a transformation from providing remedial education for its students to delivering an industry-developed curriculum matched to jobs in fast growing industries. By partnering with industry leaders in key sectors, the CCC has implemented an approach to preparing students for the work force that has been recognized by the World Bank as a model for other cities and governments to follow. These efforts have driven a more than doubling of the CC C's graduation rate- currently at 17 percent compared to a national average of 20 percent - since the beginnin.i of this decade. Attendance: The district attendance rate for the 2015-16 school year increased from 93.2% to 93.4%, a new high for CPS. Two-thirds of District schools showed improved attendance over the previous year. Over six years, attendance rates have increased 1. 7 percentage points. Every tenth of a percentage point gained represents another hour ofinstruction time gained per student over the course of the year, meaning that the District gained the equivalent of 17 hours of instruction time since 2011. Gates Mille.nnium Scholars: For seven of the last eight years, CPS has led the nation in the number of Gates Millennium Scholarship recipients. Established in 1999, the Gates Millennium Scholarship Program is funded by a $1.6 billion grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and is designed to remove barriers to education for high-performing, low-income students. Top High Schools: U.S. News and World Report recognized seven CPS high schools as among the top ten schools in the state, and four of them were also ranked nationally. 4 • Sender: Sent: Recipient: Subject: Rahm Emanuel Friday, October 14, 2016 3:17:01 PM Leonhardt, David Re: The two big takeaway s educational gains and the college attainment Sent from my iPhone On Oct 14, 2016, at 10:15 AM, Leonhardt, David wrote: Thanks a lot.

So three times faster in Chicago. -------- Forwarded message------From: White House Press Office Date: Sunday, October 16, 2016 Subject: EMBARGOED: FACT SHEET: President Obama Announces High School Graduation Rate Has Reached New High To: ptolemy00@gmail.com THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary EMBARGOED UNTIL 6:00AM EDT, MONDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2016 FACT SHEET: President Obama Announces High School Graduation Rate Has Reached New High Today, President Obama will travel to Benjamin Banneker Academic High School in Washington, D.C. to announce that America's high school graduation rate has reached a record new high of 83.2 percent. The high school graduation rate has risen steadily over President Obama' s time in office, growing by about four percentage points since the 2010-2011 school year - the first year all states used a consistent, four-year adjusted measure of high school completion. This increase reflects important progress schools across the country are making to better prepare students for college and careers after graduation. In his speech at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, President Obama will highlight investments and resources available for students to earn a degree beyond high school and all his Administration has accomplished to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for America's learners, from cradle through career. He will also reflect on the work that continues, as we strive to ensure that every student has the chance to succeed in a 21 st century economy. Promising Gains for All Students The 2014-2015 graduation rates released today show progress for all reported groups of students, including students of color, low-income students, students with disabilities, and English learners. Black, Hispanic, and Native American students continued to narrow the gap between their graduation rates and those of their white peers, even as all groups made progress: Graduation Rates bv Sub1rrou1> of Students 201420132010201120122012 2015 2014 2011 2013 Total American Indian/ Alaska Native Asian/Pacific Islander Hispanic Black White Low Income Students English Learners Students with Disabilities 79 80 81.4 82.3 83.2 65 67 69.7 69.6 71.6 Change from 2010-2011 to 2014-2015 4.2 6.6 87 88 88.7 89.4 90.2 3.2 71 67 73 69 75.2 70.7 84 70 86 72 86.6 73.3 76.3 72.5 87.2 74.6 77.8 74.6 87.6 76.1 6.8 7.6 3.6 6.1 57 59 61.1 62.6 65.1 8.1 59 61 61.9 63.l 64.6 5.6 Year-by-Year Data: National Center for Education Statistics Nearly every state across the country has seen progress since 2010-2011. Between school years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, the District of Columbia made the greatest amount of progress in the Nation, improving its graduation rates by seven percentage points. In 2010, the District of Columbia received support through Race to the Top- the Obama Administration's signature education reform initiative. These reforms helped make important strides in implementing college and career-ready standards, improve teacher and principal effectiveness, and turn around some of the District's lowest-performing schools. The District of Columbia is also a national leader in providing high-qualify preschool, and leads the nation in the share of its youngest learners with access to free and publicly available early education. For further details on state-by-state graduation rates, please see attached. Building on Historic Progress to Help Students Succeed In addition to reaching record graduation rates, the country has made real progress to increase educational opportunify and help students succeed since President Obama took office. Key signs of progress include: • Investing in Early Education: In 2013, President Obama put forth his bold Preschool for All proposal to establish a federal-state partnership that would provide high-qualify preschool for all four-year-olds from low- and moderateincome families. After the President's call, many states took action and today, 46 states and the District of Columbia invest in preschool programs. From 2009 to 2015, states enrolled 48,000 additional four-year-olds in preschool through their own investments. The Obama Administration has also invested an additional $4 billion in Head Start, the largest federal early childhood initiative, and $1.75 billion in Preschool Development Grants and Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge grants, leading to hundreds of thousands more children having access to highqualify preschool across the country. • Reforming and Improving America's Schools: The Obama Administration's Race to the Top program spurred systemic reforms, incentivizing states to adopt college and career-ready standards for teaching and learning and to undertake meaningful change across their public education systems. The $4 billion competitive grant program served 22 million students in 18 states and Washington D.C. - nearly half of all students in the country. Through the School Improvement Grants program, the Administration has also invested over $7 billion to transform America's lowest performing schools. These efforts helped contribute to a decline in dropout rates, and over the last decade, dropout rates have been cut dramatically for Latino and African American students, while the number of high schools where fewer than six in ten students graduate on time has been cut by more than 40 percent. • Connecting America's Oassrooms: Launched in 2013, the President's ConnectED initiative set a goal of connecting 99 percent of students to high-speed broadband by 2018; issued a call to action on the private sector and other stakeholders to develop qualify, low-cost digital devices and content for teachers and students; and increased investments in professional development for teachers • and school leaders so they can lead the transition to digital learning. Today, students and teachers across the country are realizing the benefits of personalized, digital learning; thousands of districts have taken steps to make their schools "Future Ready," 20 million more students have gained access to high-speed broadband in their classrooms, and millions of students in all 50 states are leveraging new resources that support ConnectED, such as Open eBooks. • Spurring Innovation in Education: The Obama Administration has invested in new efforts to develop, test, refine, and scale a new set of solutions to close achievement gaps in America's public schools. By investing more than $1.3 billion in nearly 160 projects, the Investing in Innovation Fund (i3) has reached more than two million students across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Projects undergo rigorous evaluation and expand the knowledge base to enable educators across the country to use a new set of strategies and solutions that will help students make even greater progress in the years ahead. Last year, the bipartisan Every Student Succeeds Act codified the new Education Innovation and Research program as a successor to i3. The Obama Administration has also invested almost $350 million in replicating high quality charter schools, serving predominantly lowincome students. • Redesigning America's High Schools: President Obama recognizes that we must do more to engage, prepare, and inspire college and career-ready students, and align high school learning to the experiences and opportunities that matter in young people's lives. That is why in the President's 2013 State of the Union address, he laid out a new vision for America's high schools, proposing funding to scale-up innovative high school models and partnerships with colleges and employers so that all students graduate better equipped for the demands of the innovation economy. To build on this work the White House has hosted two annual summits on Next Generation High Schools in 2015 and 2016, announcing $375 million in private and public sector commitments and commitments from states and school districts estimated to impact more than 600,000 students to advance Next Generation High Schools. • Developing and Supporting Great Teachers and Leaders: The Obama Administration's investments during the Great Recession saved and created an estimated 400,000 jobs, mostly directly in education. The Administration has also invested over $3.5 billion in competitive grant programs since 2009 to prepare, develop, support and retain outstanding educators across America's urban and rural schools -- through programs such as the School Leadership Program, Supporting Effective Educator Development, Teacher Incentive Fund, Teacher Quality Partnership and Transition to Teaching. • • Promoting Excellence in STEM and Computer Science for All: America is .Q!1 track to meet President Obama' s goal of preparing 100,000 excellent STEM teachers by 2021; 100,000 engineers are graduating yearly from American universities for the first time; and states and cities across the country are answering the President's call to ensure that all of America's students have the opportunity to learn computer science in their schools. 31 states now count computer science classes toward their high school graduation requirements, and a new computer science Advanced Placement (AP) course has launched in more than 2,000 classrooms. • Making Historic Inveslments in Financial Aid: President Obama has doubled investments in financial aid, increasing the maximum Pell Grant by over $1,000 and establishing the American Opportunity Tax Credit to provide up to $10,000 in tax credits to support higher education over four years. More than two million additional students have received college assistance each year through the Pell Grant over the course of the Obama Administration. A recent report by the President's Council of Economic Advisers suggests that the Obama Administration's increase in the average Pell Award between 2008-2009 and 20142015 will lead to an additional $20 billion in aggregate earnings, a nearly 2:1 return on the investment • Making College More Affordable: The Department of Education recently announced this year's Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)available October 1 for the first time, three months earlier than the traditional January 1 date-so that more students can access the historic investment in financial aid and better information when they need it. About one million students submitted their FAFSA applications within the first ten days since the launch of the application, outpacing recent years. In addition, income-based repayment plans like the President's "Pay as You Earn" (PAYE) plan cap monthly student loan payments at as little as 10 percent of income, so that more borrowers can successfully manage their student loans. About 5.3 million Direct Loan borrowers have taken advantage of repayment options like the President's PAYE plan, up from 700,000 in 2011. • Promoting College Success: The College Scorecard-which was announced by the President in 2015-provides the clearest, most accessible, and most reliable national data on cost, graduation rates, debt, and post-college earnings. Organizations-like Google, College Board, and the Common Application - are building the College Scorecard tool and data into their products in order to ensure that students and families have the best information available at critical decisionmaking-periods. The College Scorecard data on college costs, graduation rates, and earnings will be clearly featured in the hundreds of millions of Google searches related to colleges and universities taking place in the U.S. each year. Together with the earlier availability of the FAFSA, the College Scorecard • ensures that students and families have the best information available to choose a good-value school. Because students and families can learn about their financial aid eligibility within a few days of completing the FAFSA, they will have better information to compare costs and student outcomes available on the Scorecard when they are searching for and applying to schools. Next year, the FAFSA will direct students to the College Scorecard, so that students will have immediate access to the information they need to make their most consequential investment to date- by weighing their personalized financial aid estimates against a school's student outcomes, comparing schools, and considering the full scope of their college options. • Making Community College Free for Hard-working Students: During his 2015 State of the Union, President Obama unveiled America's College Promise, a plan that creates and strengthens partnerships to make two years of community college free for responsible students, letting students earn the first half of a college degree and skills needed in the workforce at no cost The President's proposal would also support four-year Historically Black Colleges and Universities and MinorityServing Institutions in providing students with up to two years of college at zero or significantly reduced tuition. If all states participate, an estimated nine million students could benefit A full-time community college student could save an average of $3,800 in tuition per year. Since the President announced America's College Promise, at least 36 free community college programs have launched in states, cities and community colleges throughout the country. Together, these new programs alone have added more than $150 million in new investments in community colleges to serve 180,000 students. The number of free community college programs across the country is expected to grow, with $100 million for America's Promise Grants, the tuition-free dual enrollment pilot for 10,000 students, and resources like the America's College Promise Playbook ### Unsubscribe The \l\hllte House · 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW· Washington DC 20500 · 202-45EM111 EMBARGOED UNTIL 6:00AM EDT, MONDAY, October 17, 2016 • Public High School 4-year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate Public high school 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR), by race/ethnicity and selected demographics for the United States, the 50 states, and the District of Columbia: School years 2010-11 throu~h 2014-15 2010-11 United States Alabama Alaska 2011-12 79 72 68 78 81 76 74 83 78 59 71 67 80 80 75 70 76 84 79 75 85 80 59 75 70 81 84 86 88 83 82 86 89 85 Ohio 71 84 83 83 74 77 75 81 82 86 62 86 83 63 77 78 86 80 72 85 84 85 76 78 75 84 84 88 63 86 86 70 77 80 87 81 Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Sou lh Carolina - - 68 83 77 74 68 84 77 75 Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentuckv Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississinni Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota - - - - 2012-13 2013-14 81.4 82.3 86.3 80 71.8 71.1 75.1 75.7 86.9 84.9 80.4 81 76.9 77.3 85.5 87 80.4 87 62.3 61.4 75.6 76.1 71.7 72.5 82.4 81.8 77.3 83.2 86 87 87.9 89.7 90.5 85.7 85.7 86.1 87.5 73.5 74.6 86.4 86.5 85 86.4 85 86.1 78.6 77 79.8 81.2 75.5 77.6 85.7 87.3 84.4 85.4 88.5 89.7 70.7 70 87.3 88.1 87.5 88.6 70.3 68.5 76.8 77.8 82.5 83.9 87.5 87.2 82.2 81.8 84.8 82.7 68.7 72 85.5 85.3 79.7 80.8 77.6 80.1 2014-15 83.2 89.3 75.6 77.4 84.9 82.0 77.3 87.2 85.6 68.5 77.9 78.8 81.6 78.9 85.6 87.1 90.8 85.7 88.0 77.5 87.5 87.0 87.3 79.8 81.9 75.4 87.8 86.0 88.9 71.3 88.1 89.7 68.6 79.2 85.6 86.6 80.7 82.5 73.8 84.8 83.2 80.3 EMBARGOED UNTIL 6:00AM EDT, MONDAY, October 17, 2016 South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin 83 86 86 76 87 82 76 78 87 80 83 87 88 80 88 83 77 79 88 79 82.7 86.3 88 83 86.6 845 76.4 81.4 88 82.7 872 88.3 83.9 87.8 85.3 78.2 84.5 88.6 78.6 83.9 87.9 89.0 84.8 87.7 85.7 78.2 86.5 88.4 79.3 Wvoming 77 - Not available. NOTE: The 4-year ACGR is the number of students who graduate in 4 years with a regular high school diploma divided by lhe number of students who form the adjusted cohort for the graduating class. From the beginning of 9th grade (or the earliest high school grade), students who are entering that grade for the first time form a cohort that is "adjusted" by adding any students who subsequently transfer into the cohort and subtracting any students who subsequently transfer out, emigrate to another country, or die. To protect the confidentiality of individual student data, ACGRs are shown at varying levels of precision depending on the size of the cohort population for each category cell. There are some differences in how states implemented the requirements for the ACGR, leading to the potential for differences across states in how the rates are calculated. This is particularly applicable to the population of children with disabilities. SOURCES: US.

Here are the Health care reforms. Let me know if you want me to talk you through. Thanks, Rahm • FACT SHEET: KEEPING HEAL TH CARE COSTS FLAT SINCE 2011 Since taking office in 2011, the Emanuel Administration has implemented a series of reforms and made tough decisions that have succeeded in keeping the City's health care costs flat over the past five years. This accomplishment has taken place as health care costs for public and private employers have risen by 25% across the country. The Mayor's reforms have not only held the line on health care costs, they have also shifted the focus of the City's health insurance on prevention and best practices. As the chart below illustrates, the City of Chicago's expenditures on health care have remained roughly flat since 2011. ~ J City of Chicago Health Care Expenditures I 500 ,,so ' ,. ' ~,,,.. 400 ,, ··'""~'"" '°;' 350 a § 300 a -2so Ef ~~ mtfx;,mHealth care spending I: \ 1 I II 50 O ; I I l Il 1 2011 2012 2013 2011 201s 201& L..........................................................................................................,. ................................................................,, ................................................ This achievement was driven by several important reforms that have saved taxpayer dollars and emphasized preventative care: Retiree health care: The City changed how it covers the cost of retiree health care. Over the past three years, the City has been phasing out subsidized healthcare coverage for those who retired on or after August 23, 1989. City retirees who retired from the City prior to August 23, 1989 will continue in a City plan with the City's support ofup to 55% of the cost of the plan. The City is providing options to the retirees who retired from the City after the August 23, 1989 date. These options include Medicare and non-Medicare plans that are sponsored by the City but are not subsidized by the City. In addition, the City is providing resources to retirees to assist them in transitioning onto the public health care exchanges made possible by the Affordable Care Act or other private insurance plans, if the retirees do not select the City sponsored plan. •· As part of its most recent collective bargaining agreements with police and firefighters, those who retire at age 55 will pay 2 percent of their annuity toward their health care costs until age 60. This new premium payment began in 2016 for two public safety unions and will begin in 2017 for the remaining unions. Previously, these retirees had no premium associated with their retiree health care. Overall, these reforms to retiree health care will save $100 million annually. Implementing an EmplQyee Wellness Plan: The City and its labor partners agreed to establish a wellness program that emphasizes early screenings, preventative care, and disease management. The program also provides coaching and care management for employees to encourage healthy habits and proper treatment of diseases and other conditions. Co-payment Restructuring: Plan design changes such as the introduction of physician and specialist co-payments allowed members to see the doctor without meeting the deductible, in most cases. The redesign encourages the appropriate use of primary care physicians when they are needed rather than waiting until more expensive types of care are needed. Laborato,y Services: lncent members to use independent labs for laboratory services and free-standing radiology centers for MR!s, CAT scans and PET scans. As hospitals typically charge significantly more than the cost of an independent lab or free-standing radiology center, this helps mitigate increases in costs. Nested Network: In 2015 the City partnered with labor to introduce a nested network in the PPO plan, basically a three tier PPO that encourages employees to access less costly treatment. Employees are provided incentives to use provides with track records of keeping costs under control through lower deductibles, out of pocket limits and office visit copayments for primary care and specialists. Prescription Drug Reform: To promote efficient use of prescription medication and specialty drug management, employees are encouraged to use generic prescriptions in the therapeutic class. The City does not provide coverage from certain brands when other options are available in a therapeutic class. Maternit;y Manq,gement Prq,gram: The City launched a program that provides early identification of potential risk factors and helps expectant mothers take measures to ensure a healthy delivery and a healthy baby. Employees are offered a $100 incentive for successfully completing the program. • Sender: Sent: Recipient: Rahm Emanuel Monday, October 17, 2016 9:30:08 PM Jeffrey Immel!

These new recruits will bring energy, enthusiasm, and new ideas to the police force. Here's an idea. As part of the new hiring of these police officers how about offering a program to incent the new officers to live in areas where there presence is most needed. The new police officers must live in the City as part of the residency requirements and many are probably young and would be eligible first time homebuyers. Idea • • • • • Take 300 city-owned vacant lots in Englewood, Roseland, Auburn Gresham, Lawndale, East and West Garfield Park and Austin and build 300 new homes for the new police officers. SO new homes in each of the six neighborhoods. Challenge real estate developers (for-profit and not-for-profit) to build the new homes for $120,000 per unit. The City will contribute the land for $1. Build into the 2017 Budget a $15MM fund that will subsidize the 300 new police homes with $50,000 unit. The City could use CDBG Funds, TIF, Property Sale Funds, or HOME Funds to finance this initiative. This will allow the new homes to sell for $70,000. So the new officers are getting a $120,000 home for $70,000. The City takes a second mortgage for $50,000 on the property for 10 years. If the new police officer stays In the home for 10 years, the $50,000 second mortgage is forgiven. If they sell or refl in the 10 year period, it is paid back pro rata. Cluster the city-owned land in groupings of 10-15 units so you can achieve building efficiencies and the police can live In proximity to other police rather than scattered throughout the neighborhood. Build in areas where there is already Oty of Chicago investment, like the Whole Foods In Englewood. Benefits to City • New police officers live in high crime areas providing stability and improving safety; • Improves relationship with the community because the police are living as neighbors not just as cops; • Puts vacant city-owned properties back on the tax rolls; • • • Increase investment in neighborhoods and jump starts other investment In the community. Add population to neighborhoods that have lost thousands of resident in the past decades .

'fll Friday, October 7, 2016 8:45:56 PM Mayor Private Re: Sadiq, Thanks for your response and agree we need to have our teams flush out this concept. I suggest we have our deputy Mayors coordinate with the global affairs council in our respective cities to draft a plan for this meeting of mayors, and we can review. If this sounds reasonable, my Deputy Mayor Steve Koch, is the best contact (Steven.Koch@cityofchicago.org or 312-744-6280 ). He will coordinate with Ivo Daalder with the Chicago Council of Global Affairs. Look forward to seeing you in 2017.

Thank you again for giving me so much of your time in Chicago - it was a great experience. Your idea around a forum on urban waterway redevelopment sounds very interesting, but I think we need to investigate more fully before planning an international event. Can I suggest that the best way of moving this forward would be for me to ask my Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe (Jules looks after Planning, Regeneration and Skills) to talk with whoever is most appropriate at your end? They can then discuss the best way of exchanging best practice around this (and possibly other) policy areas. If this sounds like a good way forward please do ask your team to contact Jules at jules.pipe@london.gov .uk . And of course if you are in London next year it would be great to meet up again, let my team know if they can be of any assistance.

Today, we opened another new grocery store on the south side, a Mariano's in Bronzeville, which will create 400 new jobs and stock it's shelves in part with products from local vendors. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/10/JO/whole-foodsmarianos-dip-toes-poor-chicago-neighborhoods/91794408/ We've also seen some major news in the corporate world. In late September Wilson Sporting Goads announced they are relocating 400 employees and their global headquarters ta the Prudential building downtown. Last week we learned that Chicago will soon be home to the new Mars Wrigley Confectionery - which will be world's largest candy company. And there's more good news about continued progress of our students. Fallowing recent record-setting achievements by CPS students, this year's school quality ratings are in-once again showing the strong progress made by students in every corner of the city. This year, more than 80 percent of schools in the district are shown to be rated in one of the top 3 ratings levels of our local schoals--compared to just 70 percent of schools last year. More schools have risen to the highest rating category, and fewer schools are ranked in the lowest category, further evidence of the systematic improvements in Chicago's schools. Finally, over the weekend as thousands of runners were trying to break records in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Chicago broke another kind ofrecord. We are already one of only three U.S. cities to welcome more than 50 million visitors annually, and in the first three quarters of the year Chicago saw record tourism again - 2 percent growth from 2015, putting us on pace for 53 million visitors this year.

Not only did we create new good-paying jobs for Chicago residents in Englewood and give more than 30 local vendors the opportunity to sell their goods on the shelves of this new store, we brought healthy and nutritious food to a former food desert. Today, we opened another new grocery store on the South Side, a Mariano's in Bronzeville, which will create 400 new jobs and stock its shelves in part with products from local vendors. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/10/IO/wholefoods-marianos-dip-toes-poor-chicago-neighborltoods/91794408/ Chicago also generated some major news in the corporate world. In late September, Wilson Sporting Goods announced they are relocating 400 employees and their global headquarters to the Prudential building downtown. Last week we learned that Chicago will soon be home to the new Mars Wrigley Confectionery-which will be world's largest candy company. There's also more good news about continued progress of our students. Following recent record-setting achievements by CPS students, this year more than 80 percent of schools in the district were rated in one of the top 3 ratings levels-compared to just 70 percent of schools last year. More schools have risen to the highest rating category, and fewer schools are ranked in the lowest category, further evidence of the systematic improvements in Chicago's schools. Finally, over the weekend as thousands of runners were trying to break records in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Chicago broke another kind of record. We are already one of only three U.S. cities to welcome more than 50 million visitors annually, and in the first three quarters of the year Chicago saw record tourism again - 2 percent growth from 2015, putting us on pace for 53 million visitors this year. Have a great week and go Cubs.

We appreciate that Chicago and Illinois put forward competitive proposals that our team considered throughout the process and into the final round. As we discussed, we gave Chicago the opportunity as one of three finalists to match the top contenders for the new Ops Center. My understanding is that our team has been in close touch with Deputy Mayor Steven Koch and provided the Deputy Mayor and his team with clear guidance when there were gaps between Chicago's proposal and the front runners. We also extended Chicago several opportunities to improve its package to close the gap. I understand that the final package from Chicago, unfortunately, did not move the City above third place among our finalists. Based on conversations with the team, here's my understanding of the elements causing the gap: After reviewing the final proposal and doing the cost analysis, our team determined that the ongoing operational expenses over a ten year period to operate an Ops Center in Chicago versus the top contender location was significant. The cost differential is primarily attributable to two factors - higher costs of labor in the Chicago market for CS and Ops personnel and structural limitations with the Illinois credits and incentives that prevent us from monetizing the full value of those credits and incentives. • Just to drill down a bit further. Our team found that the wage differential, after deducting the value of credits and incentives, for Chicago versus our top contender actually substantially increased. I understand that this widening of the gap is because Illinois' EDGE program tax credits aren't refundable and only carry forward for five years and thus we are unable to monetize a majority of the credits being offered to the company before they expire -- which adds to the increased cost of operating in Chicago. The top contender, however, in addition to being a lower cost labor market, is offering cash grants and tax credits w4ich are refundable in the event that PayPal has insufficient tax liability to apply them towards. Taken in the aggregate, the difference in the Jong-term operational expenses created a significant gap for Chicago in our final analysis. As I mentioned in our conversation, we are looking at this potential move in the context of a wide range of strategic planning considerations and we are taking the time we need for our planning process to play out. So we are not currently in any rush to make a move on this front. I hope this clarification helps. I've copied Devin Whitney on our team so that he can reconnect with Deputy Mayor Koch to go over the details. Many thanks -- and I look forward to connecting again soon.

There is quite a bit of work we need to do beneath our building at track level, not the least of which is the repairs to the masonry on the underside of our building. We are obligated by court order to complete the masonry repair work in the first halfof 2017, but we are having very little success in gaining access to the space. Additionally, Amtrak has some very restrictive and onerous language in the license agreement they impose on neighbors when they are required to perform work at track level. We are seeking your assistance with Amtrak to be more flexible in their scheduling protocol and to waive the exorbitant fees they impose when others need to perform work at track level. We recognize the need to make the long overdue repairs at track level before someone is seriously injured by falling debris. We are committed to getting this work underway as soon as possible and completed at the earliest possible date. However, we cannot complete the work if Amtrak does not give us the access we need and is not willing to waive the fees they impose to grant us the access. I am asking for assistance in establishing a protocol whereby 1. We are allowed access to our easement area on an as-needed basis with "X" number of days prior notice. I would agree to provide Amtrak with a one-two week look-ahead outlining our access requirements, if necessary. 2. Currently, I am told nobody in Chicago has the authority to assist me in coordinating access to the easement area. All requests must flow through the Amtrak office in Philadelphia and the individuals in Philadelphia have been less than cooperative. We need a local contact that we can work with to schedule our work and coordinate access or someone in Philadelphia willing to work with us. We'd really like to meet with the local Amtrak contacts on a weekly basis to discuss our access needs and schedule our work, as opposed to joining a conference call where people from all across the country are on the line trying to negotiate access to accommodate their work. 3. We will be responsible for the cost of the flagman required for our safety, but not the other added costs of a fulltime Amtrak Project Manager at $1,200/day and a full time Amtrak Project Development Officer at $1,200/day, a Train Movement Planning fee at $800/day and Train Director Authorities at $800/day, as well as a 10% Amtrak Management Fee, which Amtrak has indicated they might be willing to waive for the project involving the repair of the underside of the building only. They specifically excluded a waiver of the management fees for any and all future projects. 4. Amtrak will be responsible for the cost of our contractor's lost time when Amtrak's flagman or security officer's absence requires our work to stop 5. All other access fees will be waived by Amtrak. There is no provision in our easement agreement as far as I can tell that gives Amtrak the right to charge us fees to access our easement, but I do understand the need to pay for the flagman required by our project to keep our contractors safe during their work operations. All of the added Amtrak fees and their lack of flexibility In scheduling the work makes a large scale project, such as making repairs to the underside of the deck for our building and all the others built over the tracks, prohibitively expensive. I believe their added costs and lack of flexibility in scheduling the work Is a major reason why this maintenance and repair work Is continually deferred up and down the tracks near the train station. Your assistance with this issue is greatly appreciated. Greg Prather Senior Vice-President & Director of Development JLL 404 W.

But a union leader dismissed the summer crirne plan as a reshuffilng oi the deck that fails to t'lellver on Emanuel?s campaign promise and rnisieads the public- tn-rlleve in the treat officer. That's where you fight crime not in sperciallaed units. That's what we bemrne: a top-heavy, specialized unit Police Department.? Etrtarttlei said. The 500 officers will be primarily draWrt front two elite units: the Mobile Strike Force and 'i'argetecl Response Unit, Starting Sunday and continuing for 00 days. 400 of these officers will he reassigned to high-crime districts on the city's South and West aides: (Brand Crossing: South Chicago; Calumet; Gresham; Englewood; Chicago Lawn; l-larrison and Austin. The remaining 100 officers will he unevenly distributed to five police areas based on crin?n-r statistics to respond to ?flareuups.? the new mayor said. Acting Police Supt. Garry McCarthy crailled it a "shift in managerial philosophy? that will usher in a new era of at'rcouritability, using the model he championed in New Yorlt City. "'i'he terlris t-liiti ?autherity' you?re going to hear over and over and over again. Commanders will be held accountable for reducing crime in their districts and their areas. This is putting the resources In their hands to mat-to thorn do it." McCarthy said. Fraternal of Police President Mllte Shields argued that what the Chicago Police [Dc-rpartment dr-rspt-Jrately needs is to hire more officers not play a game of attackers with the officers it already has. Eirr'iei'ittel campaigned on a promise to put 1,000 more police officers on the streets of Cl?ricago. He hoped to accomplish that by: hiring 250 officers with funds generated by (TIF) districts: using police cadets to frt-le officers from dealt duty: cracking down on abuses and rt-int-rgotiating a policy that allows officers to take 365 days every two years. ?To say this is 500 more officers on the street am no. It's not. Don't mislead the public. here are no more police officers today than there were yesterday. They're taking 000 officers as if they were never on the street and putting thorn into tic-rail cars. They're acting as if they were assigned to some desk duty,? Shields said. "Officers in the Targeted Response Unit and Mobile Strike Force are some of the hardest working officers on the street. Wl'iell'ter ti'ley'l?e in the units or not. they're still gonna work hard. That's not the issue. The issue is, we desperately need to hire more police officers. Until they do the hiring. we're gonna he Iowan irir-iripower. no matter how you slice it." Asked twice whether he still intends to honor his campaign promise to put 1,000 additional officers on the street. Emanuel appeared to hedge. Hie staff subsequently argued that Errianuel premier-rd 1.000 new officers "on the heat" and that. by that measure. he's halfnway home. That's not how Aid. Latesha Tl'icrrias 'fth} sees it. ?i actually think we're still at 1.000 [and counting} because those were supposed to be new officers. right? But. I need to see how we pay for them." ?l?hernas said allies-joining Ernanual at a news conference at the Gresham District. '7800 S. Halsted. Aid. Howard lilrooldns (21st). newlyuelected chairman of the City Council's Black said he would have preferred former Supt. Jody Wels' politically eitpioslve plan to permanently redepioy officers to highucrime districts. Eirt'rt'iltiris said he Welcorries an influx of heat officers to replace. what he mailed a "paramilitary atriitg force that would swoop in. terrorize the community and sweep out again.? "This is a start. Absolutely. I?m happy that there [will he} more police in the community and we'll give the plan a chance. But. if it appears that it's not working. l'll be in the lrlayor's ear agtrlin.? lilrookins said.

Therefore, we strive to collaborate with state, county and local governmental representatives in securing gainful employment for those members who have been and who will continue to be disadVantaged as a result of the Work rule changes. We can begin to address the current issues by collaborating on publicly funded public and private projects anti events where members of the union can provide valuable services under the union?s customary and historical work Jurisdiction. These projects would not only include construction projects but also government incentive weatherlzatlon work and training, greenabuiiding initiatives and energy-efficiency programs in new construction, retrofit or modernization, and special events coriducted at state, city, county and park district venues. Additional measures would include the establishment of a jointly administrated trust to promote the Chicago trade show industry in order to address the funding disparity between Chicago, Las Vegas and Orlando (the $2 per hour that was offered). This initiative will be used to lncemivize Chicago as a trade show destination. i2! I?iasi l'iric Sircct, Chicago, iliinois 606i Phone: fillet-r787 3076 link: i-?rank Libby.

Libby President Executive Secretary Treasurer Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters 12 East Erie Street Chicago, lL 606.11 Dear Mr. Libby, i Very much appreciate your letter oFAugust 15 in which you state your intention to work with and representativc-is of both state and local government to resolve the issues that confront the Chicago Tracie Show industry. While you and I have occasionally differed in the past, I have never doubted your ct'imrni'trnent to our industry. indeed more than once in the past, we have been able to conclude agreements that have served that end. The framework that WU propose, working with other governmental units to find alternative employment opportunities For carpenters and creating jointly administered trust fund to lncentiviae Chicago as a trade show destination from the proceeds of a $2 per hour benefit surcharge on carpenter labor at McCormick Place, is acceptable to me and provides a solid basis for negotiating an agreement. i would simply add the following observations. First, time is ofthe essence. We need to reach agreement on the outstanding issues before tabor Day. i fear that after Labor Day, as the possible session date of September 71.3 comes closer and closer, the possibility of actions beyond your control or mine will increasingly hinder meaningful discussions with consetniences that neither of us would want to contemplate. Second, as i have previously explained, while [appreciate your willingness to allow exhibitors to do work on their product as a way to open discussions, a step that I fully appreciate was I difficult for you to take, that simply does not go far enough to reassure show managers and exhibitors that things have changed in Chicago. If we can agree on additional work for carpenters and on the trust fund, as i believe that we can, then we need to restore the right of exhibitors to do their own work with their own employees, it they so choose, in a booth of any size. (i agree that we need to step up enforcement of the rule that exhibitors cannot hire day labor to do that work and cannot perform work that would not be safe for them to do.) Third, I am more than Willing to convene a meeting with the trade show centractors to discuss the $2 per hour issue and the creation of the trust fund and I am very optimistic that, together, we can get that done. Forth, while i am supportive of your desire to work out agreements with the City, County antl State, I wouch suggest that, in the interests of time, we concentrate on a shorter list of agreements that could be finalized in the time between now and Labor Day. This would not in any way preclude further discussions on a broader range of sirniiar issues should the Mayor, County Board President and the Governor be willing to engage in those discussions. have had a brief discussion with Mayor Emanuel and I believe that he is ready expeditiously to discuss anti, hopefully agree, on a project labor agreement that would cover work performed under the auspices of the Public Building Commission and to discuss in detail your suggestion concerning the incentive weatherlaation work and training, green building initiatives and energyne'ti'iciency programs In new construction, retrofit or modernization work. Fifth, I am In complete agreement that we must establish and implement a policy of transparency in the Chicago 'i'rade Show industry. I believe that the letter that! recently sent to you establishing a robust audit process is a giant step in that regard but, as I indicated, if there are issues which you believe that I have missed, I would be very appreciative of any suggestions that you might have. if there ideas that would require further legislative action, those could be considered in a "clean up? hill in the veto session. Once again, i appreciate the spirit anti goals in your letter and the talks that we have had and I believe that we can come to agreement on terms that will serve your natural interests in protecting the irrteres ?s of your members while providing the basis for moving the Chicago Trade Show industry into an ever hrigi?tter future. ustee Metropolitan Pier a.

I regret to have to bring this to your attention but the Camelot impiernentt-ition at the closed Fiske School. that was approved by the CPS Board last year. has now been delayed again. it appears that Tom Terrell is looking to take the process back to communlty hearings when the Alderm an has already held three community meetings on this same subject. The second Aiderrnanic meeting]. that was held a month ago. where I presented. received overwhelming community support. Mr. Terrell suggest: that ac:lc:litiona meetings be i'ield consistent: with the CPS's process for re- purposing closed buildings. but the Fiske was awarded outside of that rc?zpurposlng process. The process has been followed and we see no reason why CPS would create or approve further delay. But to demm'istrate our transparency. there. has been opportunities to seek community input: Three were held by the Alderman, two were held by and two were held by the Network of Woodlawn where we invited residents to the Camelot School in Englewood to review how they run their building. their instructional process. and to add any safety concerns. The Alderman has had a year to develop a plan for com mu nity engagement He has no plan and no alternatives. privately engaged the Alderman twice and suggested alternatives but to no avail. The Alderman attended the Network of Woodlawn Board meeting when Camelot presented a compelling proposal for the need for an Accelerated l..er:1rning Acaderriy. And in the Alder'man?s presence. and without objection from him. the NOW Board voted to pursue the Camelot initiative. Mr. Mayor. we have given the Alderman the utmost respect: and now we are 30 days from starting the 2015 school year anti all the contract hurdles have been resolved.

He ensured not only that light is everdpresent in the building, but that, depending on the time of day or --.ason. light will animate the building in myriad ways: throwing patterr' on the exterior walls of Brz-ztailian granite, enhancing interior spaces. or illuminating the open-roofed courtyard. The building's compact footprint 81 metres long and 54 metres wide contains an impressive variety of spaces, including two exhibition galleries. areas for art conservation ans storage, a 350~seat th eatrc-t. and two classrooms.

The Centre is a complex of varied spaces for contemplative, cultural, educational and recreational purposes. Its design draws upon the traditions of Islamic architecture and incorporates these in a contemporary Canadian context. reflecting the lsrnaili permanent presence in Canada as well as its desire to welcome others in an exchange of cultures and ideas. The Centre?s exterior and the surrounding i-i?arit reflect these notions in their terraces, gardens and reflecting pools, presenting a serene space that is both modern and timeless. i I AGA MUSE UM TO HIS A OF The Museum's focus on the arts of lslam will make it a unique institution in North America, contributing to a better understanding of lslamic civilizations and especially of the plurality within lslarn and of talents relationship to other traditions. it will be a place for sharing a story. through art and artifacts, of highly diverse achievements going back over ?i 400 years. "The Aga Khan Museum has an international outlook,? observes Henry Him, [Director ofthe Museum. "Home to a collection or astonishingly beautiful works of art, it will showcase the artistic creativity and achievements of Muslim civilizations from Spain to China. I think local and international visitors will be greatly surprised when they discover just how much the arts of Muslim civilizations are a part of our shared global cultural heritage.? Since 200?, over 1 million people i?iave experienced the splendor of the Aga Khan Museum Collection. The Musee du Louvre in Paris. the State l--iermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. the Guibenkian Museum in Lisbon, the Martinn-Gropius-Bau in Berlin. the Sakip Sabanci Museum in Istanbul. the islamic Arts Museum Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur and the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore have ail hosted temporary exhibitions of major works of art from the Aga Khan Museum Gollection. A Vii) 'ant Educational Institution The Museum offers visitors a window into worlds unknown or unfamiliar: the artistic. intellectual. and scientific heritage of Islamic civilizations across the centuries from the lberian Peninsula to China. its mission is to foster a greater and appreciation of the contribution that isiamic civilizations have made to world heritage. 'l?hrough education, research. and collaboration, the Museum will foster dialogue and promote tolerance and mutual uriderstanding among people. "The Aga Khan Museum will deliver to Canadians and visitors alilte some of the world's most Islamic art.? remarked Minister Glover during the ceremony. "in its educational focus. the Museum will reach out to spealt to Muslims and to non-Muslims alilte about the peace, creativity, beauty and plin'alism of Musiirn history and in these tumultuous times, those values are needed more than ever.? The endeavour to spread knowledge and understanding through the arts is not a new one in either the Muslim world or the West. Prince Amyn recounted how as far back the 9th century. commerce and curiosity brought objects from the Muslim world to the West. anti how in lslam, the tradition of religious endowments held in trust led to the creation of large collections of line objects. From Fatimid Cairo to Central Asia and Iran, these objects were regularly made accessible to for public viewing. a I .a l-u The Aga Khan Museum's purrnat'iet'tt has over 1,000 artelacts, and (filth tint-t has it Fascinating, story to tell.

Within CPS currently, 7 elemt-intary schools and 5 high schools offer Arabic as a World Language, reacl'iing a total of 3,12? Slitifil?iriliti; this is roughly 0.78% of the total 400,000 students in CPS system'- wide. We propose measures to increase the number of students taught Arabic tent-fold to 30,000 students reached, or with equal attention across socioneconornic divides and geograpl-iically across the city. By so doing, Chicago will establish itself as a national -~indeed an internationalvwleader in public education and set a standard other cities will sec-dc to follow. Moreover, Chicago will make a resounding statement about the promise of the next grmeration of Chicagoans, and strike a positive note that will promise hope, rather than hatred, as we think togr-ither about how to solve the challenges facing the next sei?leratien. Teaching students Arabic offers invaluable skills in comprehending global cultures foreign to their own. Arabic: is the fifth most spoken language in the world, with over 400 million speakers. it is one of six languages of the United Nations, and it is an official language of tWenty-six states across the world. As the formal language of Islam, it also plays a prominent role in the lives of 11.5 billion Muslims today. The increased presence ofAraloie instruction in the Chicago Public: Scl'iools would present students with the chance to build critical skills in tolmance and dialogue, and increase their understanding of cultures that are til-masticain different from our own with which the us is nevertheless closely engaged. A solid understanding of the Arabic language, at the stone time, can bring with it invaluable opportunities to students preparing to join the workforce. The US Department ofState labels Arabic a "critical needs lr-Jrn-guage," indicating a lack of available SDt-JiiltC-il?s to perform necessary services. Arabic fluency, when attained, can offer individuals invaluable access to careers in business, defense, diplomacy, engineering, healthcare, iournalisrn, public policy, and numerous other corner-intuit, valuable fields. Signs indicate that the Arabic language will move to the forefront of US secondary iangaiage instruction in the coming decade. The past decade and a half has seen a monumental rise in public: Aral'iic instruction: from 22004 to 200"? alone, Arabic instruction in the United States tripled. With the expected release in the coming years of an Arabic Language Advanced Placement test, there is every indication that Arabic instruction will enjoy a dramatically expantlt?rd role in the very near future. Cl-iicago shoulti gel: in front of this trend. Chicago is a city Identified with higher education. Among major metro areas, only Chicago and Boston can boast having two universities in the top 15 national research universities (according to US News and World Report rankings). Chicago should capitalise on its reputation as an education city anti take a bold step that demonstrates it is a global leader in education. Immigration, both legal and illegal, Is one of the most controversial issues that the United States currently faces. Chicago is one of the three ports of entry for refugees entering the country, many fleeing unrest In the Middle East. The growing acknowledgement of the importance ofArablc in the contemporary world combined with Chicago's diverse population presents an opportunity for the city to take a leading role as a global city anci be an example for other cities on how to not just effectively implement Arabic language instruction in the public school system, but how to welcome and incorporate diaspora populations within the city Into the conversation. Not only does Chicago currently boast a large number of Arabic speakers, it also already has an established foundation in the field of Arabic instruction at both the university anti secondary levels. This asset makes it an especially attractive location for a concerted effort to implement Arabic language Instruction in the public schools. Chicago hosts two excellent Arabic language centers: the Center for Arabic Language anti Culture (CALC) at Lindblom Math and Science Academy, which Mayor Rahm Emanuel described as "the nation's leader in Arabic language and cultural instruction,? and the ?i'urath Institute for Arab Arts and Culture founded by Dr. Dima ?l?urltmany. Chicago?s most famous universities, the University of Chicago and Northwestern University, boast major centers for Middle East studies: the Program in Middle East and North African Studies (MENA) at Northwestern and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) at University of Chicago, both ofwhich have public outreach programs. The Chicago Public School system also already features a small but robust Arabic language program: seven elementary schools anti five high schools across Chicago teach the language, and over 3,000 students are currently studying it. Our proposal links the Arabic programs in CPS, CALC, the MENA program at Northwestern and University of Chicago, the CMES at University of Chicago, anti Evanston Township High School to offer a mobile teaching resource for schools from gratles 414.2. Too often, young people in Chicago are written off in the current conversation, not incorporated into our sense of what it means to be a global citizen, or what It means for Chicago to be a global city. This can lead to disaffection and a failure to talte advantage of the ideas, energy, and positive aspects of our own city?s youth. Urban youths should not be seen as a problem, but as a part of the solution. Last year, as four students from Lindblom Academy bt?icame the first Americans in history to participate in a prestigious Arabic-language debate competition in Ctatar, Mayor Emanuel announced that ?we have much room to grow? in the field of Arabic language Instruction for students in Chicago public schools, and stated that he is committetl to supporting existing programs anti builtling new ones. Now is the time to capitalize on these intentions and allow the city of Chicago to spearhead a national trend of bringing Arabic language instruction to high school children. Such a move would bring increased opportunities to Chicago?s youth and minority populations, in addition to thoroughly underscoring Chicago?s identity as a truly global city.

As you point out. there are many reasons why we should Consider Chicago, which we continue to do on a regular basis. One of the important aspects for us when analyzing a new route is the commercial relationship that EL AL has with the main hub airline(s) at that destination in order to facilitate and offer passengers connections. In the past Chicago was high on our list, but unfortunately, since the merger oi" American Airlines and US Airways. there has been a major change in our commercial relationship whereby those carriers no longer allow EL AL to offer their domestic flights on an EL AL ticket; this change had a significant impact on our analysis of the viability of a route to Chicago.

We remain so proud of what was achieved, and write to you today to share what we witnessed as well as the successes, challenges and next steps. For those of you unable to attend, the day was as emotional as it was productive. One or those rare moments when problems are met with solutions in front of your eyes. The young Chicagoans we had the honor of meeting were incredibly impressive. Each showed up with his or her story, yet with no of entitlement. Everything from their attire to their attitudes revealed a willingness to do whatever it took to pave a better future for themselves. These kids just want a chance, an open door. And when the doors opened that days-nth the form or interviews. career advice. conversations with role models, job offers and morewthe young people walked through them with professionalism, appreciation and raw Joy. Together, the Coalition, Cook County and the City of Chicago orchestrated so much more than a job fair. We created an experience that: imprinted upon thousands of young men and women the notion that they. too, are worthy of dignity, respect and hope. Through the quality of the entire experience our young guests felt the authenticity of our commitment to them. Even those who left without a job offer left believing they were worthy of one. What we achieved was not charity. it was good business. The feedback from participating companies and coalition members emphasized the preparedness of the job applicants to the high quality and variety oi" the career resources available. CEOs expressed gratitude for being included, and agreed that they were wiser after sitting and talking with young people. For these reasons and more, the day exceeded everyone's expectations. Have a look at this yids-to. that captures what: we have begun together. Password: Opportunity We must stay the course. The Chicago Fair a Forum raised the bar on what is possible to do for and with Opportunity Youth in our country. In a single day, young Ilves began to be rewritten. The next chapters are in all of our hands. As members or the coalition, we have a responsibility to open more doors For America?s young peoplewand keep them open. So, how do we move forward? How to we maximise Chicago's momentum and create lot-ig-terrn change for Opportunity Youth in Chicago and in our country? How do we apply and scale the successes and lessons? These are the questions that the coalition is committed to answering. The event revealed an inspiring truth: young men and women in our country have the will to work and the potential to succeed. However, they need the opportunities?gobs, professional development, skills training, mentors, support services "that only a coalition of public and private entities can provide. In that way, what we are doing is also unprecedented. Never before have companies, government leaders, community~based organizations (C805) and foundations worked together so collaboratively to connect young people with employers and professional development opportunities. The unique combination of resources and support the Chicago event provided proved a potent formula. As Veronica Herrero, senior director at One Million Degrees, shared from one young person, ?It?s not just about getting a job, it's a feeling of specialness [that] everyone is rooting for me.? By several measures, the Chicago Opportunity Fair a Forum success: We reached and established relationships with thousands of young people. By design, we identified and registered 5,000 young men and women in Chicago, including 3,500 who came in searcl'i of employment and career guidance. - We connected youth with leading American companies, and created jobs: More than 800 job offers were extended on the day of the event. All told. I 1,500 young people interviewed with 32 corporations forjobs in retail, manufacturing, food service, technology and other industries. - We designed an experience worthy of the young people we hosted: Attendees had access to nearly 70 companies and communitymbased organizations booths as well as 30 workshops; 15 inspirational stage performances; and countless one~on~one interactions with business leaders, career experts, artists, athletes and entertainers. We gaVe them support, tools and hope: Young people who did not leave with a job offer left with information, resources, a new network of support: and confidence to move their careers forward. Leaders arrived with open minds and open hearts: More than 10 coalition CEOs met directly with young people, increasing their understanding of this population's potential, while solidifying their commitment: in the coalition's initiative. - We are bringing the country along with us: #StartSomewhere trended in social media, kicking off a national campaign that will be instrumental in elevating the voices of young pmple and changing the national dialogue around employing Opportunity Youth. The Chicago Opportunity Fair 54 Forum would not haVe been possible Without the incredibly hard work of you, our coalition members, well as local organizations committed to Cl'iicagoland?s youth.

This process begs-in the day after the Opportunity Fair 54 Forum, on August 14, when event coordinators and coalition partners shared observations, learnings and recommendations for future activities in other cities. recommendations and lessons learned will be used to develop a roadmap for the future. in Chicago, a new foundation is already being set. Gorpor'ate members and leaders of the 100,000 Opportunities Initiative, along with The Aspen lnstitute?s Forum for Community Solutions. are partnering the Office of the Mayor, Cook County and local workforce development agencies.

The sociov-economic benefits of getting young people on a productive path to employment will create immediate and longnterrn impact for the Chicagoland. as well as for our nation. Chicago was a critical first step. but it was just step.

For more than 20 years, the comparisons to Silicon Valley and the same old stories of founders leaving for the coasts have been told. Cur future as the center of the Midwest?s technology resurgence (the "rise of the rest") has been lamented as writers worried about whet would happen when all the talent was gone. As if there wasn't a constant, renewable and growing stream of superstars being educated right here in our own backyard. And as if Chicago hadn?t become the nation's most obvious launching point for international businesses seeking to enter the US. market. Maybe the problem with these "experts" is that, too often, you only see what you're looking for and miss the bigger picture. Because. the fact is that our tech economy is thriving huge exits left and right record years of funding tens of thousands of new tech jobs created and doaens of thriving co?working spaces led by 1871 where digital startups get their start. Is the departure ot' talent still a source of concern? Yes, of course. We're competing irt a global economy. And no one's standing still. Tech centers like New York and Boston (albeit with a focus on only limited sectors of the economy) and burgeoning new tech economies like Austin and Raleighm?urham are all thriving. But we?re making consistent progress here for four main reasons: We've had some substantial successes; we've built the type of city where people Want to live; we?ve embraced our and uniqueness as a diverse and distributed economy; and, most importantly, we have a viable plan for the future which we are exacuting on every single day. First, the successes. They include Cleversafe, Fieldglass, Grubhub and Braintree. lCompanies moving forward in billion dollar mergers or bugs lF?Cs. And, most critically, they are staying in Chicago. As Mayor Emanuel notes, when PayPal recently bought Braintree, they kept the company in Chicago, and doubled down by hiring hundreds of additionai employees in the city. This is big news and a radical change from the old days. Some day. a company like Braintree will buy a PayPal. Until then. it?s good news that the companies being acquired in Chicago can continue to grow and attract talented people right here in Chicago and that the sale proceeds also remain here for reinVestment in new businesses. Second, the city. Chicago has become a highly desirable destination and a place where grownm ups are returning to grow their businesses and their families. Quality of life is essential. Working in a crummy walkuup in Williamsburg or watching the wharves from your SRO in San Fran just doesn?t cut it for people trying to make a life and not Just a living. Mike Garrison from Linkedln recently said that he insisted on staying in Chicago even when Linkedln tried '(muttipie times) to recruit him to the west coast. Brian Fitepatrick built a worlduclass engineering team at (Boogie over the last decade and is now helping to build a new software business right here in town. All the things that We celebrate about the city serve the tech community as well and result in high caliber employees technical or not who want to stay in Chicago or return here, grow their families here, artd do an'taeing work as well. "l'hird, our tetpproretci't. We never intended to compete here with the coasts. Chicago has embraced its see history and roots. The companies we are building reflect the power, stability and diversity of our city?s economic environment. We have dozens of Fortune 500 companies and major . corporate l'teadquartt-trs here. These companies have pressing enterprise and legacy problems and they?re the natural customers for the next generation of serious tacit companies being built t'tere in the city. We have refined our focus to companies that are most likely to succeed in this etxrmomic environment, Not everyone wants to work on social sharing or build the next dating site for pets. This matters when it comes to the tech talent competition. These types of companies are solving real and costly problems and they need tophlevel engineering talent to do so. Serious engineers and computer scientists went to work with other talented people on important problems that will make a difference in people's lives. Our collective efforts to embrace this approach have enabled many highly talented tech employees to stay in Chicago and build their careers here, and that?s crucial as we try and con?rpete on a national stage. Finally, the plan. it starts with training. Across the city there are efforts underway to train the next generation of tech talent. At 1871 alone, we have almost a dozen different classes teaching coding, entrepreneurship and design. Hundreds of people, from all backgrounds. with all levels of technical expertise, are getting the training they will need to be successful. The City Colleges, the public schools, private organizations, all of these groups have come together to train thousands ofpeople who are getting jobs in the tech economy. it will take some time before these training efforts pay dividends, but they will, and they are worth our investment. The plan continues with cooperation. Organisations across the city are working together to put the city's best foot forward, attract companies, retain employees, promote the city?s tech growth, and generally speaking do whatever is necessary to advance the collective interests of our economy. No other place has our amazing level of private, public and civic engagement in the missions that matter most. No city can compare to Chicago when it comes to cooperation and teamwork in the pursuit of a collective goal. This is going to pay huge dividends in the long run. We've talked about two potential Ideas that will help with the talent issue a study "abroad" program in which undergraduate students from the University of Illinois in terarta-Charrtpaign will spend a semester in Chicago, and the notion that tech companies who are seeking to attract talent from the coasts will work together to show off more than one company when a candidate comes to town. Each of these Ideas requires a ton of cooperation to even have a chance of success. Each of these ideas would be dead in the water in any other city. But we have the opportunity to make them real and successful. Finally, the plan requires time. We are making enormous progress, and moving as quickly as possible toward our goals. We not Silicon Valley, for better or for worse. But we know what we are doing well and where our are. It?s incumbent on all of us to make sure that we are focused on what we can control building a city that we're proud of, working together to improve our economy, celebrating our uniqueness, and most importantly, keeping an toward the future. Because, if we double down on what we've done and what we're doing, that future is very bright. Frem: Strobe Talbett [STALBOTT@brookings.edu] Sent: Thursday.

It's been a busy few months for our team since you last visited the Arts Bank and studio with Commissioner i-?ielfman. The Arts Bank is doing fantastically and we are close to securing in national funding for the South Side Commons Project (SSCP), for the renovation of the collection of assets I shared with you last time we met. To date, the funders include Knight, Kresge, and Rockefeller Foundations and We are working with Chicago Community Trust and some other supporters to support us with the additional required local match. l?m also hoping the City will be partners with us and find creative ways to support the SEEP. either through grants or program suppons Through a public-?private partnership, the UniVersity of Chicago's Arts Public Life Place Lab, Harris School, Rebuild Foundation and Space Fund will oversee the reconstruction of several of the south side?s most notable buildings and a couple of sites that are adjacent and in need of revitalization, This constellation of cultural spaces will act as anchors for additional residential and commercial irwestrnent in the areas of Greater Grand Crossing, Washington Paris and Bronseville. This multi~site cultural reinvestment model partners with local developers, City agencies; and local and national philanthropy to invest cieeply in the architectural spaces that make our city vibrant, cultural platforms that ensure our city's vitality and people who ensure that are neighborhoods remain rich, diverse and generative. With a combination of private investment in commercial and residential real estate. public investment in infrastructure and programming and master planning strategies that have proven to be real innovations in the of New Urbanism and radical planning, the south side offers more symbolic: promise and promising investment opportunities today than in the last 60 years. A link to the slide deck and narrative are linked pets for reference purposes. Two of the assets are being acquired from the City (Kenwood Gardens and the former 29th Street Police Station). i ask for the City's support both programrnatlcally and financially (through TIF or otl?ierwise) and would to meet with you to discuss further. These anchor assets will not only spur development and activatitm oi" corrn'nunities through public programming and culture driven artists, but will also give innovative financial support to continue to drive attention to the South Side.

So the new officers are getting a $120000 home for The City takes a second mortgage for 3350.000 on the property for 1.0 years. if the new police officer stays in the home for 10 years, the $50,000 second mortgage is forgiven.
