Unidentified Speaker 1 told the committee that testimony from city and county elected officials and residents underscored the importance of the Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant program, saying the amount of money reaching cities and counties has risen about 65% since 2015 and that the program’s L MIG allocation is at the 10% level.

The speaker said the subcommittee did not return formal recommendations but encouraged periodic review of the program, suggesting the panel reconvene every one to two years to assess effectiveness. Unidentified Speaker 2 confirmed that the formula for allocations is developed by the director of planning and noted the committee will meet the new planning director, Janine Miller, at a future session to hear her perspective.

Unidentified Speaker 2 moved that the committee accept the work of the subcommittee; after a second, the committee adopted the report by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
