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.
Business Improvement District #36 is bounded generally by North First Street to the west, North Pierce Street to the east, East Concordia Avenue to the south and East Keefe Avenue to the north.
COMPOSITION: Seven members, one member from the existing BID #25 (Riverworks) and six members appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Common Council to three-year terms. All members must be owners or occupants of property within the District. Any non-owner or non-occupant member must be a resident of the City of Milwaukee.
A member who is not an elected official continues to serve after the completion of his or her term until reappointed or until a successor has been appointed.
CREATING AUTHORITY: Section 66.1109, Wis. Stats., and Common Council File 040878 as amended by 080620 with operating plan attached to each.
