Aldermen approve settlements alleging police misconduct after lengthy discussion, narrow vote 

Aldermen on Monday approved payments for two separate lawsuits alleging misconduct by the Chicago Police Department: one after lengthy discussion on who should be held responsible for a raid on a wrong apartment, and the other in narrow vote.  

In addition to the settlement payments, the City Council Committee on Finance delayed a vote during its meeting Monday on designating municipal depositories for Fiscal Year 2021, paved the way for a $1 billion deal to supply water to the city of Joliet and approved tax-increment financing for improvements at three Chicago Park District locations.
