CINCINNATI â The City Council Budget and Finance Committeeâs agenda on Tuesday was 40 pages long, front and back, loaded heavy with nearly 100 local organizations requesting a portion of the cityâs remaining American Rescue Plan funds.
Narrowing it down will be difficult, committee chair David Mann said Tuesday, even after eliminating the groups that donât qualify under new federal guidelines. Council is required to allocate the money to pandemic-related projects, including making up lost revenues, and canât keep it to build the cityâs reserve.
