Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl is seeking volunteers to serve on a committee to review information submittals from companies interested in working with the City on a offshore wind farm in Lake Michigan. In addition to reviewing these submittals, the committee will make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on potential next steps on the project. Individuals need not have any specific experience in this area, just an interest in the subject.

There will be an increase in police tactical operations to combat the recent surge in residential burglaries in the 6th Ward. According to Officer Loyce Spells, EPD, this will include "covert activity for apprehension and suppression objectives, which means that you might not see the police but that doesn't mean that there not at work."
