Analysis
This Ordinance provides for the attachment to the City of Milwaukee of the westerly portion of Armour Park and portions of the Wisconsin Electric Power Company right-of-way located immediately south of Armour Park in order to provide for implementation of the Indian Council of the Elderly Project as contemplated in the Intergovernmental Cooperation and Development Agreement-Indian Council of the Elderly Project.
