Title
Substitute resolution relating to the composition of the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission.
Analysis
This resolution:

1.

2. Expresses the City of Milwaukee’s opposition to Federal Highway Administration recertification of the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission as the Metropolitan Planning Organization for Southeastern Wisconsin in its current format and organizational structure.

3. In the event the state legislature does not pass legislation changing the composition of a regional planning commission containing a city of the first class such that membership is proportional to county populations, urges Milwaukee County to withdraw from membership and participation in the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission
