Full summary

On May 6, 2026, Councilmember Tim McOsker introduced a motion, seconded by Heather Hutt, to direct nearly $782,000 in city funds toward additional beautification services in Council District 15. The funding comes from two sources: $600,000 from the General City Purposes Fund designated for the "Clean OneFive" initiative, and an additional $181,690.35 from the Council District 15 portion of the Council Projects account. Both amounts are to be transferred to the Board of Public Works Contractual Services account to pay for the work. The motion authorizes the Board of Public Works to negotiate and execute an amendment to an existing agreement with the Coalition for Responsible Community Development, the nonprofit contractor already providing beautification services in the district under Contract C-145463. The Board is also given flexibility to make technical corrections to fund transfer instructions as needed to carry out the motion's intent. The Council voted unanimously 15-0 to adopt the motion on May 13, 2026, subject to reconsideration under Council Rule 51. The file was transmitted to the Mayor on May 15, 2026, with a deadline of May 26, 2026 for mayoral action. Once signed, the Board of Public Works can move forward with amending the contract and delivering the expanded beautification services across the district.
