Saginaw Appoints 25 to City Boards, Committees, & Commissions; 15 to ARPA Advisory
Fifteen members of the Saginaw American Rescue Plan act committee will soon be discussing how to spend the city’s $52 million dollars.
The group, appointed at this week’s city council meeting, consists of residents, business owners, and non-profit representatives and will gather at least once a month until the funding has been completely allocated.
Saginaw has heard from a number of financial advising groups and considered a number of proposals already, but Mayor Brenda Moore says the group will help determine where the money is best spent according to the community.
Committee members will help form allocation ideas and prepare them for presentation, but will not formally be approving allocations- leaving that task to council and Mayor Moore.
Council approved 25 new appointments to city boards, commissions, and committees- with more than half, 15 of the 25, going towards the new American rescue plan act fund advisory committee.
In addition to ARPA related discussion and appointments; council also approved 4 additions to the newly created Human planning commission- a group focused on arming and advocating groups of people protected by state and federal anti-discrimination laws.
