Maria Monreal-Cameron, Charles V. Vang and Curtiss Harris from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Hmong Chamber of Commerce and the African-American Chamber of Commerce, respectively, at the table.
Ald. Davis asks when the report would be required. Ald. Witkowski requests the report as soon as possible upon the completion of the fiscal year, which would be December 31st.
Mr. Harris says the chamber is working to create more green jobs. Ms. Monreal-Cameron says that the funds from CDBG for her chamber of commerce were depleted in July of 2008. She says that CDBG is the sole public subsidy that the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce receives to use for employment services.
Mr. Vang says that the money is used to help small businesses, including small loans.
Ald. Witkowski moves to amend the resolution to add an evaluation and reporting component to the resolution. Each individual agency would be providing the report and the City Clerk's office would be the recipient. The report would be in written format. Prevailed 5-0.
Ald. Davis says that the reporting requirement would be submitted to the City Clerk's office since the funds are not provided by block grants, but by the City of Milwaukee.
