City Council approves federal COVID relief funding after temporary delay; General Iron resolution blocked 

Aldermen approved allocating new and carried-over federal COVID-19 grant funding on Friday, overcoming aldermen who days earlier blocked the budget maneuver after saying they disagreed with spending on Chicago Police personnel. 

Friday’s City Council meeting picked up where a Wednesday meeting left off when it ended prematurely after aldermen used a parliamentary maneuver to temporarily block two measures.
