PURPOSE: Section 66.1109, Wis. Stats., allows cities to create one or more business improvement districts to develop, manage and promote the district. They are further permitted to establish an assessment method to fund the activities to be undertaken by the district. All of the foregoing are described in an annual operating plan which is prepared by the district board and approved by the Common Council. The operating plan also describes the amount of the special assessment to be levied against each property in the district.
District #31 encompasses the area bounded by N. 43rd St. to N. 76th St. and from W. Silver Spring Dr. to W. Good Hope Rd.
COMPOSITION: Nine members, appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Common Council. The majority members shall be owners or occupants of property within the district. Any non-owner or non-occupant appointed to the board shall be a resident of the City of Milwaukee. Members serve three-year terms, staggered. The Board elects its chair from among its members.
A member continues to serve after the completion of his or her term until reappointed or until a successor has been appointed.
