109-05-2023 - 11-24-2023
Idea Collection & Creation of the PB Committee (Phase One)
Residents are invited to three town halls, three separate locations and dates geographically spread across the 30th ward. They're invited to share ideas and potential projects that could be implemented within the ward. Additionally, residents vote on what percentage of the $1,000,000 will be allocated toward street and alley repaving, either:
- ) 15% ($150,000)
- ) 25% ($250,000)
- ) 50% ($500,000)
- ) 75% ($750,000)
Additionally in this phase residents from across the ward are encouraged to volunteer as PB Committee members to help take these ideas and turn them into full project proposals for the ballot. They also help to ensure fairness, equity and transparency of ideas and projects in order to spread the funds across all of the 30th ward.

Review of Infrastructure Project Ideas (Phase Two)
Volunteer community representatives assist in creating the final ballot items that residents can vote on, as they relate to the winning categories. They are as follows:
- Narrowing down the initial list of ideas based on if the idea is eligible, affordable, and feasible.
- Research project details and learn more about the specifics of what the community needs.
- Work with one another and ultimately decide, as a committee, on which specific ideas and locations residents will end up voting on.
