City of Evanston Administration and Public Works Committee · August 25, 2026

Summary

The committee approved the consent agenda (minus pulled items) including a resolution on BMO Harris card activity and a special event permit; the clerk read a written comment from Paula Scholl supporting a sole‑source Elevate Energy contract for energy assessments and decarbonization.

The committee approved the consent agenda after members pulled several items for separate discussion.

Among items handled was resolution 198 r 26 addressing BMO Harris Amazon credit card activity; the motion passed by roll call vote 5–0 with one abstention. The committee also approved a special event permit (resolution 185 r 26) for Midnight Circus at Tom Edge Park, Sept. 18–20, 2026, by a unanimous roll call. The clerk read a written comment from Paula Scholl related to an agenda item, praising Elevate Energy as "uniquely qualified" for energy assessments and urging completion by year‑end to inform HBO rulemaking and future equity‑prioritized projects. The committee approved the remaining consent items and moved the pulled items for separate discussion.
