  • East Mountain Stormwater Presentation | October 2023

    Oct 25, 2023

    ·Scranton, PA
    Other

    The City of Scranton commissioned a stormwater and drainage feasibility study for the East Mountain area in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, presented by Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc. on October 25, 2023. The study followed a public process that began with a first public meeting on November 30, 2022, and included field evaluations, GIS database analysis using 2021 aerial photos and drainage system data, and development of seven preliminary concepts and three preliminary designs reviewed by the City. Key findings identified flooding areas of concern, including inadequate stormwater collection along Cherry Street where existing drainage systems are not properly capturing runoff, causing water to flow past the stormwater basin and create problems at Fig Street.

  • Equity and Empowerment Commission Reparations Recommendations - Wealth and Opportunity Gaps

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    The Equity and Empowerment Commission submitted reparations recommendations to the Evanston City Council on September 9, 2019, responding to a June 2019 request from Alderman Rue Simmons to address historical wealth and opportunity gaps affecting African American residents. The Commission held community meetings on July 11 and July 13, 2019, where attendees identified five priority categories (History/Culture, Finance, Education, Institutions/Systems, and Power Structure) and generated specific policy recommendations. Proposed actions include housing initiatives such as property tax relief for long-time African American property owners, down payment assistance for income-qualified home purchasers, and housing repair assistance, plus economic development measures including repurposing the Gibbs-Morrison Center for African American entrepreneur co-working space. The Commission recommended that the City Council receive the report and direct the City Manager to conduct additional research and data collection to determine feasibility, noting that implementation decisions were beyond the scope of the commission's current work.

  • 7.8.2021 - Comments and Responses

    Houston, TX
    Other

    On July 8, 2021, Mayor Pro Tem Martin's office collected public comments and questions regarding proposed flood management projects in the Kingwood area, with responses provided by Black & Veatch, Houston Public Works, and District E Office. Key discussion points included the Lake Houston Dam spillway gates project, which would increase discharge capacity by approximately 25% overall (45,000 cfs at 100-year water elevation), and clarifications that the project focuses solely on spillway gates rather than constructing a deeper channel downstream. Respondents addressed concerns about environmental assessments (confirming an Environmental Assessment rather than full Environmental Impact Statement due to minimal impacts), future gate automation operations still under development, and engineering certification requirements.

  • The Case for Reparations

    Evanston, IL
    Other

    This April 18, 2019 memorandum from City Clerk Devon Reid to Alderwoman Robin Rue Simmons outlines a framework for researching and developing reparations in Evanston based on documented historical discrimination. The document identifies three categories of racial harm: relocation of Black homes to the 5th Ward beginning in the 1920s through aldermanic permit approvals; red-lining in the 1930s, when the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation designated a "D2" neighborhood encompassing most of the present-day 5th Ward and part of the 2nd Ward as "hazardous" and ineligible for FHA-backed mortgages, supported by contemporaneous HOLC notes explicitly citing racial composition as justification; and segregation-driven rezoning policies between 1910 and 1940 that confined African American housing to western Evanston despite a population growth of 5,000, resulting in increased crowding and higher housing prices in the designated area. The Clerk's office proposes forming a working group including representatives from the Evanston History Center, Open Communities, Shorefront Legacy Center, Evanston Collective, NAACP Evanston Chapter, and community members to continue research and draft a specific reparations model for the city.
