Mr. Nicolini said you could create a special capital account that isn't allocated to a single department, but then you would have to come in at some point and start allocating funds to those departments. Comptroller Matson said there are at least 20 different files relating to capital accounts and this really isn't feasible as borrowing is done for specific purposes. He would suggest contingent borrowing later in the year based upon how the program is working or how much money has been spent.

Rockie Marcoux - Commissioner of the Dept. of City Development
Ald. Stamper inquired as to what M-7 is, which Comm. Marcoux explained as well as Tax Incremental Districts and what they are funding.
Martha Brown - Deputy Commissioner said the county does not provide any finances for July 4th activities. Ald. Coggs encouraged the department to work on increasing those businesses participating in PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) program. Ald. Stamper asked about Growing Prosperity. Mr. Marcoux hopes to ues a new commercial district position to figure out what each aldermanic district needs in terms of how to develop commercial properties. Commissioner Marcoux is also touring each district with the local alderperson to see what the issues are and where.
Ald. Perez came to the table and asked about BID staffing levels.
Ken Little - staff person for the busines improvement districts (BIDs)
Ald. Coggs asked staff to research how many PILOTs there are currently going on and if there ever were 50 and how many are currently paying and how much. Ms. Brown said DCD is working with DNS to have owner occupants do only the essential services and will require a performance amount to cover those costs and that will be returned to the owner once the essential work is completed. This will be a pilot project for a year and a higher performance amount will be required of investment owners.
Maria Prioletta came to the table and spoke on buyer requirements that NIDC has. DCD will market properties specific to each Council member.
The department has 3 staff that manage the city-owned properties and they are working with other city departments to become more efficient. Ald. Perez thinks that staff from DCD needs to attend the neighborhood meetings with police and DNS.
Comm. Marcoux will provide dept. staff information of management staff broken down by gender and race ("management" is defined as staff that manages a staff, not the management pay grade).
The RACM budget discussion was included as part of DCD's budget as they staff and provide administrative support to RACM.
Ald. Murphy had a question about the Earn and Learn Program as well as other aldermen about specific DCD programs.

Dan Thomas - Administrative Services
Some Compete Milwaukee graduates (8 out of 217 individuasl) have been hired in regular city positions, but that is less than 4% with over $2 million spent on this program, per Ald. Murphy. The metrics of whether participants are employed needs to be tracked to see if this program is a success.
DPW has also brought on 100 people on "super crews" and they were able to do miles and miles of pothole repairs.
Mr. Thomas said the department can provide a report of the type of work that they cannot obtain using SBEs, such as sewer lining. They do try to break those contracts down so some of the work can be done by city residents through the Residents Preference Program.
Members were concerned with the quality of grass cutting -- long cuttings left on the grass, grass being uncut for long periods of time by the highways and who is responsible for what.
Right now the county is only mowing its grass along the highway twice a year.
Laurie Daniels - Operations Director said they are adding E-Notify to the language on the signs relating to no 4" parking rule unless plowing operations are occurring.
