Frustrating, because can't add much value if kept in the dark on the purpose/agenda

The City remains focused on filling the budget gap with recurring revenues
,after relying heavily on non-recurring revenues in
the years following the financial crisis
Tax based revenue drivers have risen to pre-recession levels due to economi
c growth and tax increases
Budget gap projected to reach 7-year low in 2015, before growing again in 2016
and 2017 due to rising pension, wages and
debt service costs
Deficit could reach $I bn in 2016 if recent pension reforms are rolled back
by union litigation
Debt service comprises 12% of the City's budget

Below is our proposal for your discussion with Hewlett Packard and CDW about funding for YOUmedia.
Chicago Public LibraryYOUmedia 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
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. Adult and peer collaboration build leadership and communication skills.
Growth Plan
While YOUmedia is already the largest program of its kind in the city, we have set an additional growth
target for the program over the next three years with the goal of serving 5,000 teens annually across our
neighborhood sites.

Jasmine/Rahm,
Sorry we had to cancel last week. I had a time sensitive business situation
that require
d me to be in NYC.
I have attached a presentation that my team was preparing for our meeting. Their
preliminary views are
highlighted on the Executive Summary page of the attached document.
I think we could potentially be helpful to you and your team in a general advisor
y capacity, assisting in the
identification, analysis and evaluation of various initiatives that the city might
undertake in order to manage the
projected budget gap until the next election.
If appropriate, The team welcome the opportunity to start a dialogue with Carole.
Again, my apologies for the late cancellation. I look forward to speaking again
soon.
Best, Robert

Negotiation and implementation timeframe,as well as the far reaching political and
economic implications, will impact the
decision-making process
~"~'~~" ~
CENTEROVIEW PARTNERS
Privatization: Evaluate opportunities with a focus on transactions that benefit the City
(e.g., O'Hare parking garages)
Other:Pursue casino project and high speed rail initiative, and evaluate interim financing
for the MPEA
Taxes: Increase property or income taxes (potentially utilizing cash flows to secure
pension bonds)
Expenses: Continue to pursue aggressive cost reduction initiatives with the primary
goal minimizing expense growth through
2019 (Rauner/Teamsters CBA deal could serve as a template for unions
The City could consider a number of strategies for closing the projected budget gap
Pension: Pursue discounted buyouts to the extent permissible;separate the CPS
pension and use chapter 9 to restructure
the pensions; issue pension bonds
Shortly after re-election in April 20 15,the Mayor announced the Roadmap for
Fiscal Reform for the next four years, which
includes, among other things, ending the "scoop and toss" strategy,terminating
swaps and converting floating rate debt to fixed
Given the projected growth of the budget gap,the City will likely need to
consider and implement a number of additional
alternatives to improve its financial health prior to the next Mayoral election
CPS budget gap is largely driven by its own pension issues(CBA expired June
20 15; negotiations in process)
The MPEA could require interim funding absent a state budget resolution
that would free up funds held by the state
The City's budget gap has declined nearly 55% since 201 I, with a significant
portion of the gap now funded by recurring revenues
However,the gap could exceed $ I bn by 2018 depending on the success
of pension reforms and expense containment
In addition,the City faces funding issues with the Chicago Public Schools ("CPS")
and the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition
Authority (the"MPEA")
Although the city of Chicago (the "City" or "Chicago") has made substantial
progress in
addressing its budget gap over the past several years, rising pension requirements
and expense
growth will require additional actions to close the gap over the coming years

providers. We have designed athree-part structure featuring ahigh-level plenary session
at which mayors and governors are invited to announce new or existing climate
commitments, breakout sessions to facilitate experience sharing across a variety of
technical topics, and a private sector exhibition at which leading companies will present
technologies and services to assist governments in reducing emissions. Several elements
of the Summit are still under active development, and we will remain in close contact
with you as planning continues. In particular, we look forward to working with you to
identify possible public climate commitments or action statements, as well as developing
strong private sector engagement.
Climate action is a high priority and a shared goal between the United States and China.
We hope you will join us in highlighting actions your city is taking to combat climate
change, while connecting and sharing with environmental leaders from across the
world. Attached is a draft agenda, but if you have any further questions about the
summit, please don't hesitate to contact me. Your staff can direct logistical queries and
RSVPs to the L.A. Mayor's Office Director of Intergovernmental Relations, Cecilia Cabello,
at 213.978.0600 or Cecilia.cabeflo(c~lacitv.ora.
Sincerely,
Jerry Abramson

State resources had been a moderate but crucial component of the prior plan.
The plan assumed a stable base post the 2009-2012 reductions with adjustments due to
parity. This was accomplished.
FY16 reduction reversed the entire parity adjustment($45M) plus an additional $8M
Can no longer assume stable, modestly increasing State investment, and must find new
pathways to preserve low tuition/high aid predictability

So glad to hear your commitment to bring the construction trades to Dunbar High School. Asa 1976
Dunbar alum, I was able to live your vision for Dunbar. I tried to chime on your group call -- but no one could
hear me-- Dunbar alumni is an active successful group and would like to help. Several Dunbar graduates
spanning from the years 1973 to 1986, have already contacted me volunteering for the opportunity to form
and work on a committee that helps you bring the construction trades back to Dunbar. In addition to myself
and Arlene Love, I can easily recruit folks like Maurice Hood. Maurice made the NFL Hail of Fame Jackets
this year. Maurice was recently featured by Harry Porterfield as "someone you should know". When Dunbar
asked Maurice to return to Dunbar to teach tailoring he didn't hesitate. Just an example of several
successful committed folks who stand ready to work with you on any initiative that will help Dunbar. Right
now, you have a committee strong of a minimum often core Dunbar alum who want to work with you, and
the core group can form other subcommittees as needed to help bring the trades back to Dunbar. We
believe we can be advocates and actively recruiting new students to enroll in Dunbar, and help tell your
story as you restore Dunbar to its earlier glory days. We understand that there is also a lot of work to be
done to restore Dunbar's building, as you bring the trades back -- we think we can help there too. Please let
us work with you. I can't wait to share the picture of the functioning house the Dunbar trade students built
right there at the school-which has since been tore down. So let us help you rebuild that house and bring
those trades back to Dunbar. Let me know if I can work with you.. Luv ya much!

Optics are horrible.
Thus, the new GC and Talent Officers must be Latinos.

The VIP company (transportation company) has been working with the city on our behalf to get Monroe closed
for our guests' passage from the Art Institute of Chicago to the reception across Monroe on Saturday,
September 12th . We were hoping to close the street from 8:OOpm-9:30pm, and possibly again from 11:30pm12:30am however, our request has been denied.

Mr. Mayor, thank you for coming tomorrow to the opening of what is the biggest class yet in Chicago. Chris Keogh
and our team are very excited to be there and I can't wait to hear all about it. I'm looking forward to seeing you soon
as well! All my best, Dina
The program is really working in your city and I know we can continue to have a great impact there, Here are two
great quick highlights from our progress report I recently sent you:

Peter and DavidSorry to write this way, but I wanted to make a personal plea.
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,

and other ride-hailing services.

"The 60 percent increase in the city's property tax levy, along with a garbagefee, ride-hailing

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 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.

Subject: RE: CPS CEO Claypool Announces Record First Day Attendance
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.

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 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 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.
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.

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

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.
Best regards,
Roger

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.

David, Statement today at Park District hearing. Letter in Tribune tomorrow. Please tell the Mayor I followed
his instruction and spoke out. John
am John McCarter. 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.

Reply-To: Michael Pfleger <
t>
Emergency Times Demand Emergency Response
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
of situations 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 off the 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 of GED,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
s=~
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 communities to be involved or engaged, ifthey 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.

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.

You obviously have not read the Supreme Court decision on the state of Illinois constitution. Their view is
pretty clear. No reform allowed.

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

Always happy to discuss anytime and be helpful in any way I can.

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.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
RE:
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.

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.

Mr. Mayor -My colleagues at AirBNB are hoping to get a few minutes of your time
to discuss the shifting
home sharing regulatory landscape.
Detail below. I figured I'd just forward you this directly so you can
see the straight stuff if you're
interested.
The ask is a meeting with Chris Lehane who is now the head of global
policy at AirBNB. And
I'm sure Brian Chesky(CEO)can join if you'd like.
You may have seen the anti-home sharing Proposition F got shellac
ked in SF last week -- but we
want to keep putting our best foot forward as each city figures out the
right path for itself.
Thank you,

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.)

Think so.
One of the factors that makes an appointed position "political," per the Trust's
policy, is whether the appointee serves
on a body with the power to levy taxes.
believe the Park District is also a taxing body.

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.
David

Dear Rahm,
Apparently, my mother's sculpture has been crossed off the Chicago Parks Department short list! This is disappointing
news.
All of this happened after a visit by Mike Kelly to her studio, a trip by her publicist to meet with Mike Dimitroff and Mike
Kelly and survey the spaces available in the city, all the while receiving reassuring signs that this project would go
through. Lack offunding is not an excuse as we both know there are avenues to secure money.
Could you please help put this train back on the tracks forme so she can take advantage of the momentum
currently building up around her work?
This week we had a wonderful ribbon cutting for her monumental bronze Lament(pics below). Couldn't you see a piece
like this along your trails?
Hoping you can do something.
