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,

Subject: Chicago Bonds Rally on Mayor's Property Tax Plan
1im,
As we have discussed, the news is very favorable for the city of Chicago because:
1) If the plan is approved as proposed, which we think it will be, the City's financial
condition will be substantially improved.
2)The plan will likely result in a reappraisal by the rating agencies, with
improvements in the assigned trends, and eventually, a ratings upgrade by one or
more of them.
3) Criticism of the property tax increase will be blunted by the fact that previous
mayor, Richard Daley, had frozen property taxes in 17 of his 22 years in office, making
property taxes too low relative to comparable cities like New York City, Boston, and
San Francisco.
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.

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.

Doug,
The first day calculation is unlike anything else we do with regard to attendance calculations
the rest of the
year, due to the fact that we don't have enrollment on Day One, only projections.
~;(~
The night before school starts we have a projected number of students we're expecting to arrive at schools
that use IlVIPACT, the student data management system. Most charter schools have their own systems so we
wouldn't have visibility into their systems for projections.
That projected number(Pre-K not included)for Day One was 306,152 and 290,354 of those students
94.8%)arrived on Tuesday.
On Day One 2014(September 3), 311,612 students(Pre-K not included) were projected and 292,539(93.9%
- 93.7% with Pre-K included) arrived that first day.
Please let me know if you have additional questions about these data.

To: The 100,000 Opportunities Initiative Coalition and Community

On August 13, 2015,the Chicago Opportunity Fair &Forum marked an incredible
milestone in our efforts to put America's underserved youth on meaningful pathways to
employment. 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 dayin the form of interviews, career advice,
conversations with role models,job offers and morethe 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 peopleand 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 opportunitiesjobs,
professional development, skills training, mentors,support servicesthat 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 YouthAmerica'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, piilanthropic 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 imperativeas 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."
It's time for all of us to make America the country that works, too.
With great respect,

Pau IHope the week is treating you well -just circling back on the request for funding and equipment for Chicago
Public Libraries.
...
As we discussed on the phone, we are not able to cover the total costs of the program at $2.5M overall. I was
however, able to get HP to commit to providing additional discounts over and above normal educational pricing
on what might be needed for the $200K Technology and Equipment portion of the proposal.
I can reach out directly to Brian Bannon at CPL to facilitate, but wanted you to have the information and will
follow your lead on what you think the best next steps are, or if there is anyone else we need to speak with

Good news for Brown Sugar Bakery
You may recall earlier this year, Brown Sugar Bakery, came to Chatham Business Association for a Microloan.
We determined the need was greater than a Microloan as Stephanie is opening another location at Navy Pier. I
am glad to say that with CBA's help we closed a loan with CCLF for the expansion. We are now focusing on
the new store opening at Navy Pier. You are making it happening for the African American Businesses in the
City of Chicago. Thank you for supporting lending to small businesses. Luv ya and have a great day!

Hi Tony,
I hope you've had a nice summer and look forward to speaking at the upcoming board meeting. FYI, my
attendance is in quesrion as Julie has had some health issues. We're truly optimistic about the outcome, but I'm
going to wait to see how she's doing. Hopefully, I'll be able to attend in person. If not, I'll call in.
I'm contacting you to see if you can assist with a business matter. 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.

Roger

I agree completely with Shari, and all of the sentiments expressed by my neighbors.
Also, use of the refrain "you may want to check with Leslie Hairston regarding the
crime in HER ward", is equally frustrating.
Will, are you and Leslie working together to address this?
-Do you two have a plan to work with CPD to address the problem?
-Are additional CPD resources being allocated? How? In what form? When will it
occur if it hasn't?
-What is the plan to prohibit the gang encroachment into North Kenwood,Kenwood
and HP?
-What is the plan to combat growing violence in our nearby parks?
-Are CPD gang units involved in policing our neighborhoods and parks?
-What gang-intelligence is being gathered and how is it used to prevent the
encroachment?
-Essentially, what is the plan to PREVENT the gang encroachment into our
neighborhoods and to prevent the violence BEFORE SHOTS ARE FIRED??
Also, what is the plan to police apartment building owners and landlords to make sure
they are vetting tenants in BOTH wards?
-Have you and Leslie met with the landlords collectively? Can you bring civil charges
against these landlords for poor vetting, or to hold them liable for violence in or around
their buildings involving their tenants?

Forrest, Janice,
Last week the City of New York announced a bold and ambitious plan to provide
computer science education to all 1.1 million New York City public school students by
2025 (see overview HERE<http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/16/nyre~ion/de-blasioto-announce-l0-vear-deadline-to-offer-computer-science-to-all-students.html? r=0>).
We want you to know that Chicago's CS4Al1 plan was a tremendous inspiration. We
spoke with your team about CS4All almost a year ago and we have remained in touch
with Brenda in the following months. Brenda has been such a critical resource to us.
CPS could not be luckier to have her. The NYC DOE is kicking off the program with
a centralized comp sci staff(a new S-person administrative team in year 1). We know
that CPS' team is very small, so we truly commend you. Brenda has an enormous task
before her, and while no one is better equipped to take it on, we don't know how she
does it!
We are thrilled to join you in leading the charge on this work, and we look forward to
continuing to learn from CPS and sharing best practices. Thank you again,
Best,
Eleonora

Fw:(NEWS)SIJN TIlVIES: For first time, CPS plans more special ed cuts after school

For first time, CPS plans more special ed cuts after school starts
SUN TIMES // Lauren Fitzpatrick // September 29,2015
For the first time, Chicago Public Schools is planning to make cuts in special education services after the start
of school, slashing an additional $12 million on top of $42 million in cuts announced earlier this summer.
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.

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.

ALL HANDS ON DECK
1. Law enforcement. If we are spending $100 million on overtime and focusing on
violent ridden communities, and yet homicides and shootings are spiking, we need to reevaluate strategy and see what is not working.
2. Parents, adults, neighbors, teachers, pastors -must aggressively reach out at every
opportunity to talk to youth about the violence and their decisions, company, knowledge
ofsituations and focus on their future. There should be directed discussions in all
schools, alternative schools, churches - as to what they think should be done and can do.
3. Fed, State, County and City Law Enforcement must send out a strong clear message
to anyone running guns. We need to put fear in individuals, stores, cars, homes,
abandoned buildings, anyplace and anyone letking them know we are coming for you
and will demand the hardest of sentencing.
4. Use Get-In Chicago money to help fund "1 Stops" to rescue the youth on the street,
reaching out to those not in school or work and provide options. A place for youth to
come and get support for present situations and plug them into education and job
opportunities.
5. We need to open up city parks during the day with sports and activities to get young
people offthe street and give them places to go and activities to be involved in and have
a staff person there who would address each person with information as to what they are
in need ofGED,city college,job, etc.
6. Every resident in the community, elders, adults and teens must feel a responsibility
to be engaged and involved in the block and neighborhood, be the safety net and interact
with our youth, we need new blue lights, Human Blue Lights so that when a shooting
takes place, it will be an expectation to report information. Until shooters fear an
engaged community they will continue. We must create an atmosphere that the
community will not tolerate it any longer and say,"Enough"!
7. We must actively build the bridge between law enforcement and community. The
distrust is high and you will not solve crime divided - an aggressive action plan must be
developed in each district and must be activated as soon as possible.
8. Target the most violent communities with city services, events,jobs, development,
etc. You can't expect coirununities to be involved or engaged, if they feel abandoned or
ignored. There is a widespread feeling that only downtown matters. People will not
believe in their own community ifthey feel they are not valued by others.
There is a real sense of hopelessness and surrender in the community. The blank stares
you saw in the eyes of young people when you were campaigning have now spread to
entire neighborhoods. Mayor, we need your leadership offight and hope. We need you
to remind Chicago over and over, that not only we can do this, we must. If a building
downtown was crumbling and dangerous, we would call in emergency crews
immediately to address it and make it safe. We must have the same urgency to our
neighborhoods.

Mark - It was great meeting with you the other day. Hope your stay in Chicago went well.
Attached is a memo on bike friendly investments and food desserts. Look forward to talking soon.

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

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

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.

No one doubts your heartfelt commitment and passion.

If you remember when we first met with Tim Mullen for lunch at Coco Pazzo, I
shared with you my conviction that Pensions were the
1000 lb gorilla in the room. There were many other priorities however
Pensions were the mission critical objective that
could/would sink Chicago even if you made progress across many other
fronts (which to your credit, you have!).
So we may need to agree, to disagree. Massive tax hikes without Pension
reform is fiscally insane.
Bruce gets it and is sticking to his guns. Tim voted with his feet and is
soaking up the sun in Palm Beach. Many have proceeded him and many will
follow.
Surely you have noticed the self fulfilling prophecy of long term irresponsible
fiscal policies (starting pre-Rahm), emigration of the best and brightest
that then puts the larger burden on the fewer and fewer.
However, I'm still here and have repeatedly offered to help. You have never
taken me up on that offer. I guess that's your prerogative.
Btw my participation on the Board and Committees and investment in

The Shock and Awe Budget Address Rahm Should Have Given
Posted October 16, 2015 10:43 pm by WirePoints
<image001.gif>
By: Mark Glennon*
/f Mayor Emanuel were intent on halting Chicago's downward spiral
r `~
and if we had a General Assembly in Springfield willing to authorize

him to do it, Rahm's budgef address would have included things
like this:
Upon completion of this speech I am ordering implementation, as
rapidly as law allows, of the emergency financial measures I will
describe.
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.

RE:

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.
`'"
~'`~
`~~+~
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.
Similarly, in FY 2021, the City's contriburion to the Chicago Municipal Fund under the
proposal is $128 million higher than the contribution under Senate Bill 1922. In FY 2021, the
City's contribution under the proposal is $698 million, while it is $570 million under Senate Bill
1922. This difference in contributions will increase by roughly 8%each year through FY 2055.

Hi Forrest and Janice,
As we do interviews over the next few days we'll really want to hit on how the budget fight will impact all our
great work -such as the NAEP scores. 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.

Obama's Education Report Card <http://www.wsj.com/articles/obamas-education-report-card-1446074804>
WSJ//EDITORIAL
Education Secretary Arne Duncan <http://topics.wsj.com/person/D/Arne-Duncan/1135> 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
<http://topics.wsj.com/person/BBush/8217> 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.

I'm sure you've had a 100 people ping you on this already but just in case, I wanted to flag the Atlanta
pension
case that was decided by the Georgia Supreme Court yesterday.
The Supreme Court unanimously upheld the reforms adopted by Atlanta City Council4 years ago.
~
The police and other employees claimed the reforms were unconstitutional because it increased the EEC
for
existing employees and required that they share in investment losses. Supreme Court affirmed the lower
court
tossing out their claim. Supreme Court said that workers don't have a vested right to an unchanged system
because the law creating the plan provided for future changes and amendments to the plan.
(As a reminder, Atlanta adopted a DC for new hires, increased retirement age for new hires, created a minimum
retirment age and a cap on the City's annual contribution to pensions.)
And I'm SURE you miss my fascination with such matters.

Fw: Education group: City must retain its top principals
FYI--almost every major corporation I am aware of has an LTIP

(long-term incentive plan) for key execs, so
perhaps we can explore borrowing this concept for principals, could
also couple with "phantom stock" grants
tied to school performance metrics.
Could even have more generous plans for hard to staff schools.

The longer you stay in yourjob, the better your payout. Also, could

Marc -- as detailed below, Airbnb (specifically Chris Lehane) has
asked if you'd be willing to
call Rahm Emanuel next week.
-- The purpose would be to ask/encourage Rahm to take a meeting
with Airbnb about some new
~,
(and potentially unfavorable) regulations that Chicago is considering.(Regs that Rahm has NOT
been deeply involved in.)
-- Message would basically be: on the heels of the good pro-innovation outcome in SF (Prop F),
we hear that Chicago is at risk of adopting some bad/misguided regs affecting the home-sharing
sector.
-- Airbnb has a lot of experience helping cities (like Philadelphia) devise good rules that balance
city interests with hostlsharing economy interests.
-- we'd appreciate it if you Rahm would be willing to meet with Chris Lehane and others from
Airbnb so they can present their case to you(Rahm)directly.
(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.)

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:
``
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.

FW:Ruiz Letter of Resignation from Chicago Community Trust Execut

Documentl.docx
FYI---The Governance Committee of the Chicago Community Trust

determined today that my continued service on the
CPS board constitutes holding a "political" position, which board
members of the Trust are prohibited from doing. Thus,
had to choose, so I resigned from the Trust board this afternoon
(I believe Frank Clark and Carole Brown were also given
this choice).
Ironically, just last month I was elected the new vice chair of the
board, and Michael Ferro was elected chairman, to
succeed Frank Clark whose term ends in January.
Small sacrifice compared to what others give up to do public service

Mr Mayor
I trust you are securing investment and business in China - I was just at APEC,reminded me why I did not like
those things in Government.
Assume both of us thought the airport issue was settled and we would never have 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 dropoff fees. 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 coming in over top with this on top of the 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 added 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 on visibilty)and reminds me of some of the issues coming out offederal agencies that Cass and I
would have to play whack a mole on. No other city requires more than 2. The airport signage 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 drivers drive for Lyft - so
you'd have TWO signs in the back, 16x16, 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.
Thanks again and let me know if you want to discuss further and hope you have a good time
with the family
next week.
