Summary & Background: During the adoption of the 2023 budget, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved $250,000 to support the work of the Reparations Taskforce. Later that year, the Board of Commissioners approved a contract with the AUCC for $210,000 to serve as a fiscal agent for research activities related to the taskforce. That agreement will end on December 31, 2024. Of the $250,000 originally approved, a balance of $40,000 was unallocated, with the intent being to utilize the unallocated $40,000 for related services in furtherance of the scope of work.
The Taskforce now seeks to modify the agreement with the Atlanta University Center Consortium in this amount to support the work of the Taskforce, in the amount of the previously unallocated $40,000.
Scope of Work: The Atlanta University Center Consortium will continue to serve as the Fiscal Agent to support three community outreach sessions as well as the research and evaluation of how Fulton County can repair the harm of slavery and Jim Crow laws in Fulton County.
Community Impact: The Community will have the opportunity to engage in the work of the Reparations Taskforce and may be affected by possible future actions to repair the harm of slavery and Jim Crow laws on Fulton County communities.
Department Recommendation: Approve
Project Implications: This will support the work of the Fulton County Reparations Taskforce
