The Agenda for today and the minutes from the Council's January 12, 2026 meeting are approved by the two members.
There are no public commenters today. There is usually a report on prevalent trends and concerns in the district, but today there isn't.
Ramson brings up for discussion the news that Chicago's murder rate was below 500 in 2025, which is low for the city.

Ramson asks of the group, "Do you feel safer?"
Someone comments that ICE has been doing enough killing on their own, also highlighting the frequency of them hiding their faces. This sparks a discussion on the presence of ICE in the community and how they make people feel unsafe

A list of candidates will be provided to Mayor Johnson to make a decision.
