Agenda Title:

Ordinance No. 6005 to Establish a Community Investment Committee by Adding Section 2.24.090 to the Rapid City Municipal Code.

Summary:

This ordinance will formally establish a Community Investment Committee to review applications for Community Development Block Grant funds and the City Community Investment Grant requests and make funding recommendations to City Council for funding.

It will also change the appointees to the committee from the Mayor, City Council leadership, and City staff to include members of the community who have knowledge of and experience in addressing issues of homelessness, poverty, mental illness and substance abuse, youth development and wellbeing, and other high priority issues as identified by the City Consolidated and Comprehensive Plans.  This change will provide more public input and term limits that will allow for more institutional knowledge and stability.  The Committee will provide recommendations to Council for funding decisions.  Council makes the final decisions on funding. In addition, the Community Investment Committee will be charged with working with the Strengthening Families Committee to assist in overcoming issues and barriers to meeting the high priority needs of the community.  The Community Investment Committee will include a member of the Board of the Strengthening Families Committee.
