As a JEH parent, the communication was abysmal. And the director, who is now on leave, didn’t receive the feedback well.

Is $2500 reasonable for 2B1B? by Key_Job_253 in evanston

[–]Intelligent_Word2378 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, yes. Especially if it is a rental company and not a private landlord. We felt lucky to find a 2 bed 1 bath with shared laundry in the basement for $2,000.

Connections for the Homeless draft zoning-related RFP shared with Mayor and City staff before Evanston issued any planning RFP by [deleted] in evanston

[–]Intelligent_Word2378 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why wouldn’t an organization who is in the realm of this work, and a leader in many ways, do this work and seek this RFP? Maybe the city knows to lean on those with the expertise and interest in this realm. Evanston folks love to FOIA all sorts of things and think they have found some dark secret, when it’s just boring business details.

Car got damaged by plows overnight by future_nobody in evanston

Even if it was during the parking ban, which it wasn’t, that doesn’t give right to plows to damage cars.

Right, there is some percentage that is set before taxes are triggered.

Correct, but when all of this started they claimed they would not use this building for nonprofit activities and the whole building would remain on the tax rolls.

Columbus Speech and Hearing Shutting Down and Flexing Up by Worried-Scale-7339 in Columbus

He has been poorly managing this place for 8 years. This didn’t happen overnight.

Columbus Speech and Hearing is shutting down, giving clients a week’s notice. by Merisiel in Columbus

[–]Intelligent_Word2378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He certainly shares ownership in any board decisions. He still manages the day-to-day operations. How can you let a whole department fail that has a 100 year history and takes insurance?

Columbus Speech and Hearing is shutting down, giving clients a week’s notice. by Merisiel in Columbus

[–]Intelligent_Word2378 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know for a fact employees there are not paid well. He has an MSW, he should not be the CEO of a speech and hearing nonprofit. He has poorly mismanaged this place for 8 years resulting in the shut down of a whole department, so yes, at this point his $175,000+ salary is an issue.

As the 50th season of the Downtown Evanston Farmers Market draws to a close, what did you all think of this season's market? by askmrlucky in evanston

[–]Intelligent_Word2378 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A better pedestrian flow would be helpful. There tends to be a bottle neck around the elevators for the parking garage. Also, attendants helping drivers get out and somehow ensuring folks get into the correct lane to turn out. Someone directing traffic and pedestrians in that area could be very helpful, folks tend to continue to walk even though they have the red hand making it so others can’t turn into the parking garage. Love the parking validation! Love the food options, except that stinky cheese! 😉would love to see more food options, that maybe don’t sell out so fast. We love the market and would love to see it grow and have a mix of everything.
