Resolution Number 171 In Session 2022-2023

Summary

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the settlement funds community engagement process will be designed by the newly-elected Board of Aldermen, Comptroller, and Mayor's Office in Spring 2023, working together in partnership, to collectively produce a plan for gathering community input during Summer 2023. The community engagement process shall include but not be limited to digital or paper surveying, virtual or in-person town halls, and virtual or in-person meetings with community stakeholders. Feedback should be sought on, but not be limited to, ways the settlement funds can be leveraged to reverse historic wrongs and invest in disinvested neighborhoods throughout North St. Louis and in pockets of South St. Louis; ways to ensure the basic needs of residents are met; and ways residents can benefit equally from development, including through affordable housing, infrastructure improvements, economic empowerment with small business loans and technical assistance, workforce development, neighborhood beautification and revitalization, and other related topics.
