Body
Whereas, 1999 State of Wisconsin Act 9 (the Biennial Budget Act) required that the City of Milwaukee (“City”) prepare a Comprehensive Plan by 2010; and
Whereas, Comprehensive Area Plans for specific areas of the City are components of the Comprehensive Plan; and
Whereas, The Department of City Development (“DCD”) continues work on residential and commercial analysis as well as land use policy development; and
Whereas, The preparation of Area Plans requires technical assistance provided by outside consultants and funds are necessary to provide for such consultant services as well as other planning related activities; and
Whereas, Preparation of an Area Plan requires approximately $150,000 of which $75,000 comes from City funds; and
Whereas, On November 3, 2004, the Common Council adopted three resolutions (File Nos. 040963, 040953 and 040958) authorizing the transfer of initial funding for the preparation of the Northwest Side, Southeast Side and Northeast Side Comprehensive Area Plans with the intent to provide additional funds from the 2005 Capital Improvements Advance Planning Fund; and
Whereas, It is the intent of DCD to seek additional funds from the 2006 Capital Improvements Advance Planning Fund to complete the City's portion of funding for the Northeast Side Area Plan; and
Whereas, DCD agrees to continue to work with local elected officials and community partners to identify additional private funds to augment City funds designated for the updating of the Area Plans; and
Whereas, DCD continues to execute various economic and technical studies requested by various parties; and
