Official Text
To the Honorable Board:
Attached you will find a draft Ordinance that would create a Community Benefits Committee, which would make funding recommendations to the Board of Aldermen for the expenditure of monies for neighborhood-specific and city-wide community benefits.
The Community Benefits Committee will be advised by local, self-organized, democratic neighborhood councils in establishing these funding priorities.
This Ordinance is being submitted to create a mechanism by which developer monies can be equitably disbursed to mitigate the impacts of development, both on a neighborhood and city-wide basis.
Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
Eileen M. McGettigan
Assistant City Solicitor
