Minutes note: 1st Aldermanic District Alley between W. Florist Ave., W. Oriole Dr., N. 34th st., N. 35th St. (ST212220105) Concrete alley pavement reconstruction, and grading. Ms. Rutenbeck said that the majority of responses to the aldermanic survey were in favor. Ald. Brostoff moved approval. There were no objections. 5th Aldermanic District N. 84th St. to N. 87th St. (ST211210198) Asphalt pavement resurfacing, replace curb and gutter, sidewalk and driveway approaches where necessary, sodding (8.0'width of tree border area) and grading. Ms. RutenbecK said that 19 properties were surveyed and that 1 was in favor and 2 in opposition of the project. Neighbors present: Sharon Jordan - 8543 W. Glendale Ave. - said that the schools should be directly responsible for these costs because there is heavy equipment and trucks servicing the schools and the huge amount of cars and buses dropping and picking up children daily. Ms. Rutenbeck said that schools are not assessed because they are MPS. Ald. Brostoff moved to hold the item. There were no objections. 7th Aldermanic District Alley between W. Glendale Ave., W. Ruby Ave., N. 41st St., N. 42nd St. (ST212220103) Concrete alley pavement reconstruction, replace some abutting walk or driveway approaches, grading, storm drainage facilities, and permeable pavement as necessary. Neighbors present: Murjorie W - 3626 W Glendale Av - said that she cannot afford to pay the bill due financial hardships even with the payment plan offered with simple interest. Ald. Bauman said that the cost of the alleys are assessable only at 50% and that the cost can be spread out for 10 years. Ms. Rutenbeck said that 29 properties were surveyed, 4 responded in favor and 1 opposed and that Ald. Rainey supports the project. Ald. Zamarripa said that there is a back up for alleys to be repaired. Ms. Ruttenbeck said that there are 4,000 alleys in the City of Milwaukee and that they get to repair about 8 per year. Ald. Rainey moved approval. There were no objections. 11th Aldermanic District S. 48th st. - W. Forest Home Ave. to W. Oklahoma Ave. (ST211180218) Asphalt pavement resurfacing, replace curb and gutter, sidewalk and driveway approaches where necessary, sodding (1 1 .0'width of tree border area) and grading. Ald. Borkowski said that the response was rather poor and very close but that he did not receive any indication of a greater opposition. He added that no one contacted him or is here to talk, so he supports the project. Ald. Zamarripa moved approval. There were no objections. S. 94th St. — W. Howard Ave. to a point 600' North of W. Howard Ave. (ST211150111) Asphalt pavement resurfacing, replace curb and gutter, sidewalk and driveway approaches where necessary, sodding (8.0'width of tree border area) and grading. Ald. Borkowski said that this one really needs attention. Als. Rainey moved approval. There were no objections. 13th Aldermanic District S. 5th st. -W. Howard Ave. to S. 5th Pl. (including W. Morgan Pl.) (ST211210202) Asphalt pavement resurfacing, replace curb and gutter, sidewalk and driveway approaches where necessary, sodding (8.0'width of tree border area) and grading. Neighbors present: Robert Heirs - 3828 S 5th St - said that he wants to move forward with the project but that he wants to know what happens with the money from the taxes. He said that trees are not trimmed and that he has reported it many times. He also said that 5% of interest is not a low rate even if it's paid in 10 years. Ald. Brostoff said that Mr. Heirs is right on all the things that he expects but that reality is that the City of Milwaukee does not receive the funds to operate at the level that is needed. He also said that for every dollar that the City gives to the state in shared revenue, we get only 67 cents back which means that 33% of the budget gets taken away just like that. He added that negotiations are going on and that residents should call their state legislators to put more pressure to fix the problem that is chocking the life out of us. Ald. Spiker said that the results of the survey were in favor and that the costs are higher due the inflation also. Ald. Stamper moved approval. There were no objections.
