Savannah urged to start community discussions and develop criteria for CBAs
Summary
The City of Savannah’s presentation concluded by recommending next steps: begin community discussions about a CBA program, research best practices, develop CBA/CBO goals and criteria, consider an advisory council, evaluate the need for a CBA fund, and design reporting strategies.
The final slides laid out recommended next steps for Savannah: begin discussions with the community about a potential CBA program; continue researching best practices; develop explicit goals and criteria for any CBA or Community Benefit Ordinance (CBO); consider forming an advisory council; determine whether a CBA fund is needed; and provide strategies for reporting and monitoring.
The presentation also outlined policy-design options (menu/points-based approaches, bespoke negotiation, public-funding triggers, and development-scope triggers) and noted trade-offs among predictability, administrative cost, and market sensitivity. The speaker recommended that Savannah define criteria and engage stakeholders before moving toward ordinance drafting.
