There is a clear history of redlining in our city that has led to and continues to perpetuate a racial wealth gap today. Black communities continue to be under-resourced and under-valued. There needs to be focus and intentionality with development that attracts and retains Black people all the while building Black wealth. The Freeman District is a major step in that direction. It is a transformative investment lead by the Black community and Black business owners. It's a version of Black-owned entertainment, dinning and living right in the heart of our city. Our rhetoric regarding inclusion and diversity in the City of Cincinnati must be followed up with action.   Not available Not available

202102050 1159.MotionMOTION, submitted by Councilmember Sundermann, In lieu of funding the repainting of the Black Lives Matter Mural on Plum Street in front of City Hall, I MOVE that the Administration prepare an ordinance in an equal amount to fund business development grants to Black-owned business through the African American Chamber of Commerce. The source of funds for the grants should be the “Reserve for Weather Related Events, Other Emergency and One-Time Needs.” We have previously provided American Rescue Plan funding to the arts community. As we now work to regain our region’s economic footing, we should be helping Black businesses recover through grants administered through the African American Chamber. Actions speak louder than words. Cincinnati has the #1 Chamber in the United States that is advocating for African American businesses in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region. On June 9, 2017, the Cincinnati Business Courier ranked Cincinnati’s African American Chamber of Commerce as the #1 fastest growing Chamber in the Region.   Not available Not available
202102098 1160.MotionMOTION (AMENDED), dated 06-08-2021, submitted by Councilmember Kearney, WE MOVE for a REPORT on the establishment of the Cincinnati Property Tax and Mortgage Delinquency Program for low to moderate income families to prevent loss of homeownership by homeowners who are delinquent in property tax payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused financial hardships for Cincinnati homeowners, putting many in danger of foreclosure due to delinquent property taxes. Hamilton County Treasurer Charlie Winburn reported in May 2021 that owners of 106 Cincinnati Homestead properties, and 636 Cincinnati owner-occupied homes are delinquent in property taxes, for a total of 742 delinquent Cincinnati property owners. Therefore, the Treasurer has requested that the City of Cincinnati partner with Hamilton County to provide funds to homeowners who are delinquent in property taxes due to the effects of the pandemic so that they will not lose their homes. The Treasurer estimates that the average delinquency is $5,000 for a total of $3,710,000 in delinquent property taxes. The agen   Not available Not available

202102758 1169.MotionMOTION, dated 09/07/2021, submitted by Councilmember Keating, As the Administration moves forward with traffic calming measures and infrastructure updates within the city, WE MOVE for the administration to investigate new sustainable infrastructure innovations that provide storm water management through absorption and flow control including (but not limited to) the utilization and implementation of soil cells, urban watersheds, urban rain gardens, bioretention, and permeable pavement. As we continue to see heavy rains and continuous flooding, impacting our residents and businesses, we need to find ways to take the pressure off our storm sewers. WE FURTHER MOVE for the administration to provide a cost analysis with these options to show if a bigger investment in green infrastructure now may save more money than the money spent on aftermath of storms including cleanup efforts, claims and settlements and the utilization of other city resources that are needed in response to flooding/backup after heavy rainfalls.   Not available Not available
