The Tornado Relief and Recovery Fund
Legislation introduced by Board of Aldermen President Megan E. Green establishing the Tornado Relief and Recovery Fund by allocating $30 million in interest generated by the Rams Settlement Fund.

Final spending decisions are made by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, and all spending decisions must be reported monthly and annually to the Board of Aldermen’s Budget and Public Employees Committee.
