The Committee on Economic, Capital and Technology Development reconvened from its December 9 recess and established a quorum after an extended open quorum call. The committee considered 11 ordinances setting the 2025 scope of services, budgets, tax levies and service provider agreements for Special Service Areas across the city, which the Department of Planning and Development said had been recommended by the local SSA commissions with approval from local alderpersons. The committee recommended passage of the SSA ordinances, reaffirmed all items voted on at the December 9 session, and adjourned.
