Impact Statement
Financial and budget analysis
Analysis provided by City Budget Office
This action would accept and appropriate a grant for $50,000 from the State of Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development to support work related to the state-mandated Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA) specific to BIPOC outreach. The current EOA work focuses on policy issues related to managing industrial land, improving environmental outcomes, and reducing inequities. This grant will not create new City staff positions and has no match requirement.
