Title
Substitute resolution rescinding Common Council File Number 110745, a resolution relating to the information to be included with tax bills provided to property owners.
Analysis
This resolution rescinds Common Council File Number 110745, a resolution directing the City Treasurer to annually insert into the annual property tax bill mailing an informational document related to the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program’s impact on the tax levy.
Body
Whereas, In October 2011, the Common Council adopted File Number (CCFN) 110745, which directs the City Treasurer to annually insert a document with information on the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program’s (MPCP) impact on the tax levy into the annual City property tax bill mailing; and
Whereas, The intention of CCFN 110745 was to increase transparency regarding MPCP, since some taxpayers assumed that increases in the tax levy were wholly attributable to Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS); and
Whereas, CCFN 110745 requires MPS to pay for all costs associated with printing and inserting the documents into the tax bill mailing; and
Whereas, Beginning with the 2024-2025 Wisconsin State Budget, MPCP is fully State-funded, which means that the requirement of CCFN 110745 to include an informational document on MPCP’s property tax levy impact is no longer necessary; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that Common Council File Number 110745, a resolution directing the City Treasurer to annually insert into the annual property tax bill mailing an informational document related to the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program’s impact on the tax levy, is rescinded.
