Title

Resolution authorizing City entry into a Green Infrastructure Funding Agreement and Conservation Easement with MMSD and MPS for Metcalfe Playfield at 2321 North 32^nd Street and at 3401 West Meinecke Avenue, in the 15^th Aldermanic District.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes the City of Milwaukee to enter into a Green Infrastructure Funding Agreement and Conservation Easement with MMSD and MPS for grant funding for installation of green infrastructure in Metcalfe Playfield at 2321 North 32^nd Street and at 3401 West Meinecke Avenue.

Body

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee is the owner of record of Metcalfe Playfield at 2321 North 32^nd Street & 3401 West Meinecke Avenue concerning which the MPS Board has the duty of care, control and management under Wis. Stat. 119.16 (1m) and (3)(b) and Wis. Stat. 119.60 (2); and

Whereas, The Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewerage District (MMSD) has, in the past, provided grant funding to MPS to reimburse MPS for green infrastructure improvements to MPS school sites; and 

Whereas, Green infrastructure improvements through this funding source will help divert storm water from local sewerage systems; and

Whereas, MMSD requires MPS, and the City as the record title holder of the MPS sites: to enter into funding agreements for each parcel; and to enter, after the infrastructure has been installed at each of the school sites, a conservation easement for each parcel; and

Whereas, The Green Infrastructure Funding Agreement now needed for said MPS site has been submitted to this file; and

Whereas, The template conservation easement to be used post-installation will be in substantially the same form and substance as the template conservation easement that was approved by the Common Council in Resolution File No. 191139; now therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Green Infrastructure Funding Agreement G98023P01-18 that is submitted to this file is hereby approved, and City personnel, including the DPW Commissioner, are authorized: (i) to cause the City to enter the funding agreement document in the same form, or in substantially the same form and substance, as have been submitted to this file; and (ii) to cause the City to enter, for the school site, post-installation of the green infrastructure improvements, the conservation easement in the same form, or in substantially the same form and substance, as was submitted to File No. 191139 and approved by that Resolution File; and (iii) to take such further acts as may be contemplated or required to be taken by the City under those documents so as to carry out the intent and purpose of this resolution and those documents.
