- Analysis -
This resolution authorizes and directs the Department of Public Works to apply to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for a Calendar Year 2000 Municipalities in Priority Watersheds grant, in the amount of $56,000, to fund the construction of an experimental storm water management system in conjunction with the development of the segment of the Riverwalk between East Clybourn Street and North Broadway. The estimated total cost of this project is $80,000. The Historic Third Ward Association and the board of Business Improvement District Number 2 (Historic Third Ward) will provide the remaining $24,000 (local match) for this project.
BODY:
Whereas, The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources administers a Municipalities in Priority Watersheds grant program which awards state funding, on a 70% state share/30% local share basis, for projects involving the construction or implementation of best management practices to control nonpoint source water pollution; and
Whereas, Municipalities in Priority Watersheds grants may only be applied for by units of governments; and
Whereas, The Historic Third Ward Association and the board of Business Improvement District Number 2 (Historic Third Ward), which are not units of government, have requested that the City apply on their behalf for a Municipalities in Priority Watersheds grant for the construction of an experimental storm water management system in conjunction with the development of the segment of the Riverwalk between East Clybourn Street and North Broadway; and
Whereas, The proposed experimental stormwater management system would consist of 2 underground structures designed to separate sediment from stormwater runoff; and
Whereas, The proposed improvements would improve the water quality of runoff entering the Milwaukee River in the Historic Third Ward area; and
Whereas, The estimated total cost of this project is $80,000, of which $56,000 (70%) would be grant-funded and $24,000 (30%) would be local match; and
Whereas, The Historic Third Ward Association and the board of Business Improvement District Number 2 have agreed to fund the entire 30% local match for this project; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Department of Public Works is authorized and directed to apply to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for a Calendar Year 2000 Municipalities in Priority Watersheds grant, in the amount of $56,000, to fund the construction of an experimental storm water management system in conjunction with the development of the segment of the Riverwalk between East Clybourn Street and North Broadway.
