City Council introduced, and passed, bill #220417. The relevant part of this bill amends the city code to add the following part:
(g) Legal Fund.
The Director of Finance shall establish a fund to be used by Registered Community Organizations to obtain legal representation for hearings or appeals before the Zoning Board of Adjustments.
The Citywide RCO Coalition believes this bill was a move in the right direction, but will require follow-up legislation to actually move funding to this purpose. The Mayor's office has not responded to our inquiries on this bill.
