The Neighborhood Investment Committee voted unanimously to approve a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Ithaca City to establish a funds‑coordinator position and authorized staff to hire the position.

Speaker 5 moved the resolution to execute the MOU and create the funds‑coordinator role; Cheyenne seconded the motion. Because the item involved personnel matters, the committee voted to enter executive session to discuss the candidate and related personnel issues (motion moved by Cheyenne, seconded by Donna). The committee entered executive session, returned to open session after deliberation, and then voted in public to approve the resolution. Speaker 5 announced the resolution carried unanimously.

Meeting minutes show the personnel deliberation took place in executive session; the committee then publicly authorized staff to implement the MOU and to proceed with hiring. No individual applicant names, hiring terms, or compensation figures were disclosed in open session.

Next steps: staff will execute the MOU with Ithaca City and begin recruitment for the funds‑coordinator role in accordance with the committee's direction.
