Assistant City Solicitor submitting an Ordinance to create a Community Benefits Committee.

 

body

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
