Open forum opened for members of the public. Roseanne Cooley, representing the Cook County Chamber of Commerce (SEG 019–024), urged the council to approve the resolution transferring city-owned property to the Cook County HRA to create 16 units of workforce housing, arguing local businesses struggle to recruit and retain staff without affordable housing (SEG 028–036). She commended the city and HRA for the proposal and encouraged approval tonight (SEG 041–043).
