Impact analysis
Taxpayers are on the hook for a $200,000 study that could eventually lead to much bigger city spending on reparations down the road.
Black residents and local advocacy groups stand to benefit the most as their history is formally recognized and potential restitution is explored.
Local taxpayers bear the short-term financial cost of the study without any guaranteed direct return on investment.
