Whereas, On October 30, 1998, the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee adopted File No. 980914 to authorize the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee ("Authority") to acquire several privately-owned properties in the vicinity of North 35th Street and West North Avenue and to convey these parcels to the Neighborhood Improvement Development Corporation ("NIDC") for development of the Metcalfe Park Community Center ("Center"); and

Whereas, Acquisitions by the Authority and NIDC have been completed and construction of the Center has commenced, but a need exists to clarify the conveyance of land during construction to NIDC and to clarify conveyance of the completed Center to the City of Milwaukee ("City") in Trust for the MBSD and of the related recreational facilities to the City; and
Whereas, Several City-owned parcels in the area are also needed for construction of the Center and related recreational amenities; and
