Dear Neighbor,
This was a busy month in City Council. Here is a roundup from yesterday's meeting:
Telephone Tax Increase
The City Council voted to increase the monthly taxes on cell phones, land-lines, and pre-paid phone cards. I voted YES on this on this measure. Effective Sept. 1, the surcharge for cell phones and landlines will increase from $2.50 per month to $3.90 per month--$1.40 more-per-month or $16.80-a-year--for every land line and cell phone in Chicago. The tax applied to pre-paid phones will rise from 7-to-9 percent, effective Oct. 1.
How the funds will be used
All the revenue generated from the increase ($12 million in FY14 and $50 million in FY15) will be used to operate the Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC). Currently, the City's corporate fund subsidizes the operations of the OEMC (911 Center). By reducing the corporate fund subsidy and using cell phone tax revenues to properly fund our emergency operations, the City will free up corporate funds ($50 million in FY15) to shore up pensions.
Why the increase was needed
Raising the telephone taxes will stabilize the funding for OEMC and 911 operations while freeing up funds to pay pension costs without raising property taxes in the near term. The City's financial situation is improving but the legacy costs from previous administrations are coming due. For many years, City Council used parking meter and skyway sale revenues to mask the City's financial woes. This approach to governing was not only unsound, it was unsustainable. Since taking office, I've been committed to working with my City Council colleagues and Mayor Emanuel to make long-deferred and tough decisions to sustain City services and stabilize our future outlook. This telephone tax increase is one of those tough decisions.
In the coming months, we will begin the 2015 budget process. As always, we will hold town hall meetings and I will be going door-to-door to speak directly with you on the City's finances, City services, and other important Ward and City matters. While I don't relish making these tough decisions, I believe that we have made a clean break from the financial management practices of the past. We are no longer privatizing and selling off assets to pay for budget deficits and no longer linking politics with service delivery. Over time, our goal is to eliminate budget deficits, find solutions to sustain pensions, AND hire more workers to bolster City services. By raising revenue to sustain our OEMC/911 operations, we are taking the first step towards this goal. There are tougher decisions ahead - and I will explain my votes to you and work with you as we right Chicago's financial ship.
SRO Moratorium
Also at Wednesday's City Council meeting, City Council passed an ordinance I introduced in June of 2014, with Mayor Emanuel, Ald. Walter Burnett, and the Chicago For All Coalition. This ordinance places a 6-month moratorium on the conversion and/or demolition of single room occupancy (SRO) buildings and residential hotels in the City of Chicago. There are roughly 6,000 units of SRO housing left in the City of Chicago. These buildings are often a housing of last resort for those who cannot afford more expensive rental properties. Finding a path to stem the tide of conversions of SRO housing is a critical element of reducing homelessness and providing a sustainable mix of affordable housing in Chicago. This ordinance is a critical first step towards developing a long-term solution.
Over the next six months, ordinance sponsors and ONE Northside/Chicago for All Coalition will be meeting with building owners, developers, and other stakeholders to craft an ordinance to preserve SRO housing. It is my hope that these meetings will lead to an even-handed ordinance that balances the preservation of this housing with incentives for owners to maintain and improve their buildings.
Sweat Free Procurement
In April of 2013, the Rana Plaza garment factory in Bangladesh collapsed and killed over 1,100 workers and injured another 2,500. The sub-standard and inhumane conditions at the Bangladeshi factory were horrifying. Sadly, many garment factories around the world operate under such conditions. And many of these factories produce some of the clothes we wear. For many years, organizations like Chicago Fair Trade have been working to bring attention to sweatshops and child labor abuses around the world. In May of 2014, I introduced the Chicago Sweat Free Procurement Ordinance with Mayor Emanuel, the City Council Asian & Latino Caucuses, and Chicago Fair Trade. I am proud to report that the ordinance passed City Council this week!
The Chicago Sweat Free Procurement Ordinance and the SRO moratorium follow other worker protection and social justice legislation we've passed. They include:
- Adding credit history as a protected class to the Chicago Human Rights Ordinance to prevent employment discrimination solely on the basis of credit history.
- Anti-Wage Theft Ordinance with Mayor Emanuel, Alderman Solis, and Ald. Mitts
- Debt Collectors Licensure Ordinance with Mayor Emanuel, Alderman Solis, and Ald. Mitts.
I want to thank Chicago Fair Trade for their steadfast leadership on sweatshop and child labor abuses and for their partnership on this ordinance. I'd also like to thank the entire Latino Caucus, Asian Caucus, and Mayor Emanuel for working on this ordinance. And finally, I want to thank Abin Kuriakose for his continued leadership in the management of the Asian Caucus.

Report Graffiti
As the weather turns warmer, we are seeing more graffiti throughout Chicago. Be sure to report any graffiti to our office (info@chicago47.org, 773-868-4747), 311, or through the Chicago Works app. You'll need to know the address, type of surface tagged, and whether or not the tag is more than six feet from the ground. Graffiti that contains profanity, hate language or is done on a church or school receives special attention. The faster we remove graffiti the less likely vandals are to target that area again. Thanks for your help! |

The services are paid for through an additional property tax levy. The district is being renewed and your feedback is important in determining the budget and programs and services offered.

Pet Summer Safety Tips
- Water - Give your pets plenty of fresh, clean water. Animals can get dehydrated very quickly especially in the heat.
- Shade - Make sure your pet has a place to go to get out of the sun. Try to keep them indoors during extreme heat.
- Rest - Do not over-exercise your animal in the heat. On a sweltering day, the best time to exercise your pet is in the early morning or late evening.
- Watch - Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. In extreme heat, the temperature can rise in your vehicle very quickly. This can leave your pet vulnerable to heat stroke, which can onset very quickly.

Arts & Culture in the 47th Ward: The Renaissance Project
by Luis Lopez Reichling
 The Renaissance Project, a classical art studio located at 4770 N. Lincoln Avenue, is dedicated to teaching and cultivating the classical traditions of figure, portrait, landscape and still life painting. Tucked away in Lincoln Square since 2000, the studio was founded by artist and director Lothar Speer who trained at academies in Basel and Vienna before immigrating to the United States to complete his BFA and MFA degrees at Loyola University and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Speer is an exceptional instructor who is fluent in a wide array of media. His Renaissance Project curriculum follows the traditional 19th Century French School which emphasizes accuracy in detail and proportion. Recognizing that art students often lack visual literacy and traditional technique, he teaches classical drawing and painting skills that constitute the foundation of quality artistic training. Classes emphasize drawing skills, concentration and "learning to see" in a critical way. He believes that everyone can develop drawing and painting skills. "Talent helps," he believes, "but it really is a learned discipline." The Renaissance Project offers both private and group instruction. The classes run 10 weeks with flexible schedules and focus. In addition, a live model drawing session is offered to the public for a reduced fee every Tuesday at 7 PM. An affable personality, Speer is the recipient of Vienna's prestigious Johannes Fugar Award and his work has been exhibited widely in Austria and the United States. This fall, he will have exhibits at the Edgewater Historical Society and the Granville Framing Gallery. "A Touch of Europe," his wall mural at the CTA Brown Line stop at Western has been part of the Lincoln Square landscape since 1991. He also collaborates with local organizations such as Chicago House, Magnificent Events and ABC/CBS news, and his personal art collection is on view at Garcia's Restaurant in Lincoln Square. For more information about classes or viewing Lothar Speer's artwork, check out The Renaissance Project at http://www.renproject.com/ or call (773) 334-5054. |
