MKE COMMUNITY IMPACT COMMITTEE Meeting

The **MKE Community Impact Committee** is a City of Milwaukee committee that helps decide how to distribute money from the **MKE Community Impact Fund**. Based on the city record, the committee’s job is to come up with a method for allocating those funds, present that plan to the Common Council for approval, and then keep administering the money until it is all spent. The committee includes city officials and seven Milwaukee residents, and the residents are meant to reflect a cross-section of the city.

This matters to Milwaukee residents because it affects **how public funds get invested in the community**. The committee’s decisions can shape which neighborhood projects, programs, or local priorities receive support. Because residents sit on the committee, the process is also meant to give the public a direct voice in how the money is used, which makes it an important piece of city decision-making and civic participation.

What happens next is that the committee continues its meetings and works on the funding plan and distribution process. The city listing shows a published agenda and a meeting scheduled at **Room 301-A in City Hall**, which means the public can track the committee’s work through the city’s meeting records. Once the committee finalizes a funding method, it is supposed to send it to the Common Council for approval before funds are distributed.
