202100290 165.MotionMOTION, (AMENDED) submitted by Councilmember Landsman, Many of our frontline workers receive some of the lowest wages. They have shown up to work every day during this pandemic, and WE MOVE that the Administration pursue a lump-sum payment of no less than $1,000 in “Hazard Pay” for these lower-wage, critical frontline workers who deliver core services that citizens depend on from their city government. *We ask that the Administration prioritize City employees who are unable to work from home and deliver core services that our residents depend on; many of these workers are represented by AFSCME, or the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, and fills roles such as our nurses and sanitation workers.

202100295 167.MotionMOTION, submitted by Councilmember Landsman, Last year, the City of Cincinnati created a financial forgiveness program for Greater Cincinnati Waterworks’ low-income customers. This project - enabled by our City’s “Home Rule” - gave direct relief to struggling families amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (MSD), however, has split possession; Hamilton County owns MSD, the City of Cincinnati runs it. Due to this arrangement, the City is barred from exploring any meaningful relief programs for low-income rate-payers, and the County has to spend millions on outside consultants and lawyers to perform its role in the MSD relationship. WE MOVE that the Administration conduct a report on the potential savings for low-income ratepayers if MSD were able to leverage the City’s Home Rule advantage, as well as the savings associated with the aforementioned millions in outside consultants and lawyers with an updated relationship between the City and County. By conducting such a report, we could better determine the positive impacts of an updated paAdoptedPass Action details Not available

202100292 172.MotionMOTION, submitted by Councilmember Landsman, Cincinnati families are facing unprecedented financial challenges, and the fear of eviction continues to loom for tens of thousands of our children and families. We recognize that our nonprofit partners have, and will continue to receive, significant rental assistance support. But the process of getting these resources to families quickly, and before they end up in eviction court, has been a challenge. As such, WE MOVE that the administration pursue a request for information (RFI) to determine who can build a shared data system to enhance eviction prevention programmatic performance and coordination. Such a system would allow providers to more effectively allocate relief and prevention services, keeping more and more of our children and families in stable housing. We ask that the RFI inquire into: 1. Which companies or providers could create such a data system, 2. How much it would cost the city to support the creation of one, 3. How quickly we could build the platform, and 4. How best to get our eviction prevention support providers onto AdoptedPass Action details Not available
202100297 173.MotionMOTION, submitted by Councilmember Landsman, WE MOVE to request that the Administration provide an update on Ordinance 402-2019, which guarantees that eviction filing data from the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts be made available to service providers partnering with the City of Cincinnati in eviction relief services and eviction prevention initiatives. To date, we have not been able to obtain this data in a regular and reliable manner. The City may need to provide support to the Clerk of Courts to secure this data, and we encourage the Administration to pursue that support. Getting this data in the hands of our partners will allow them to help our residents struggling to pay rent with rental assistance, the ability to stay in their homes, avoid an eviction, or even avoid having to attend eviction court.AdoptedPass Action details Not available

This program should lift up and provide additional opportunities for minority developers, especially Black real estate professionals who have the potential to be leaders of new minority-led commercial development firms. This is part of the City’s larger “Balanced Development” efforts to ensure real inclusion of development efforts in Cincinnati. The proposed program, requiring ~$150,000 in funding, would extend opportunities for minority developers to actively participate in and shape an inclusive growth strategy for the City - one that integrates the new Balanced Development Scorecard proposed by my office. The program would draw from similar successful efforts in Detroit, where in they created an “Equitable Development Initiative.” Our efforts should build on best practice efforts such as this one, as well as others around the Country (spelAdoptedPass Action details Not available
