CHICAGO (WLS) — The Chicago City Council is getting together Thursday morning for a wide-ranging meeting.

The City Council Finance Committee unanimously approved a $90 million settlement for the 176 civil rights violations cases involving former disgraced Chicago Police Sergeant Ronald Watts. That goes before the full council Thursday.

Watts was convicted and sentenced for shaking down residents in the Ida B. Wells Public Housing Complex.

An attorney representing the more than 100 victims in the settlement writing on their behalf, “Nothing can undo the harm that Watts caused, but at least everyone will be able to put this behind them.”

A Council Committee also is also taking steps to ensure residents are not priced out of neighborhoods near the Obama Presidential Center.

An amendment to the South Shore Housing Opportunity Ordinance, would reserve land and money for affordable housing, offering displaced residents a right to return.

Some spoke out against the proposed amendment that goes before the council Thursday.

“Ordinance without amendment or allowing the community members to see it and discuss it and amend it, it risks undermining the catalytic investments already underway,” South Shore resident Lashawn Brown said.

“Ultimately we believe that this work and this ordinance is about opportunity,” Dixon Romero of Southside Together & CBA Coalition.

Council members are also expected to approve a Chicago firefighters union contract during the meeting.. This comes after the city was in the middle of a four-year standoff with Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2.

The full council is set to consider rezoning for The 78 development, including a new stadium for the Chicago Fire soccer team.

The council is also expected to vote on so called “granny flats.” Those are additional units like coach houses or basement apartments.

Some council members want to allow them in all Chicago neighborhoods. But others say their wards are over populated.

A compromise reached allows council members to opt into the program.
