🏗️ Build spider: Illinois African Descent Citizens Reparations Commission #1059

Closed SimmonsRitchie closed 5 months ago

What's this PR do?

Adds a spider to scrape meetings from the website of Illinois African Descent Citizens Reparations Commission. The new spider is called il_adcrc.

Why are we doing this?

Requested by City Bureau's Chicago office.

Steps to manually test

Ensure the project is installed:
```
pipenv sync --dev
```
Activate the virtual env and enter the pipenv shell:
```
pipenv shell
```

Run the spider:

scrapy crawl il_adcrc -O test_output.csv

Monitor the output and ensure no errors are raised.
Inspect test_output.csv to ensure the data looks valid. Target website is here.

Are there any smells or added technical debt to note?
