City Council Reparations Subcommittee could meet this month after delay 

The City Council’s Committee on Health and Human Relations’ subcommittee on Reparations could hold its first-ever meeting in the coming weeks, more than four months after the group was launched and one month after its initially scheduled inaugural meeting was canceled.   

Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6), chair of the health and human relations committee and a long-time proponent of creating a city commission to study reparations, said there was “some miscommunication” with the mayor’s office and the resolution calling for the subcommittee to meet in February “somehow did not get to the [Clerk Anna Valencia] like it was supposed to.”
