Campus and Community Commission
 |
Bronwyn's Council Preview |
The City Council meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. this Tuesday at city hall. The agenda includes (but is not limited to):
-
25. Campus and Community Commission.
-
The CCC was tasked with examining community inclusiveness, and after several meetings on the topic, they are reporting back with several suggestions. These suggestions include an event series promoting inclusiveness and adopting principles used by ISU.
-
Council will also need to give feedback if we have further questions on the inclusiveness topic, or if the CCC should move on to another task, such as parking, renter/tenant relations, or others.
-
-
26. Staff Report regarding Human Services Capital Grant Program funding.
-
In 2017, Council initiated a pilot program creating a grant program for human service agencies to complete capital improvements projects. At the time, we set aside $500k, though only used half of it in the first year of the program.
-
Now Council will decide if the program (administered by United Way) should continue with the second half of funding from the original allocation.
-
Non-Agenda Packet: The following items are requests and communications to the council that are not on the agenda. This includes staff reports and communications/request from constituents/developers. By tradition the council can ask city staff for more information (a report), put the item on a future agenda for discussion or just accept the communication (taking no further action). This usually takes place at the end of the meeting during council comments.
