Auto-generated summary
The Chicago City Council's Committee on Contracting Oversight and Equity, on June 21, 2023, deliberated amendments to Section 2-92 of the Municipal Code. The chief procurement officer can make advance payments to contractors and MBE/WBE participants if minority goals are met. The amendments adjust MBE/WBE goals using U.S. Census data, include D.B.E.s provisions, and allow for waiver or reduction in commitments, barring projects receiving TIF or other municipal funds. The amendments also refer to the State of Illinois Business Enterprise Act for definitions of 'Economically disadvantaged' and 'Minority'.
