Analysis

This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to execute a Memorandum of Understanding for the purposes of establishing the maintenance responsibilities of the two parties with respect to the upper and lower retaining walls along reconstructed Congress Avenue and the bridges located over Lincoln Creek at 37^th and Congress and North Sherman Boulevard and Congress.

Body

Whereas, Lincoln Creek, which is tributary to the Milwaukee River and which floods within the corporate boundary of the City, had been divided by the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District  into 10 discrete reaches for purposes of projecting, planning, designing, and constructing needed improvements for the watercourse; and

Whereas, The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District had determined that in Reach 4 of Lincoln Creek, the City owned reconstructed West Congress Streets, including the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District owned upper and lower retaining wall on both sides of Lincoln Creek between North Sherman Boulevard and North 35^th Street, along with the City owned  bridge structures over Lincoln Creek at North 37^th Street and at North Sherman Boulevard, hereafter referred to as “North 37^th Street” and “North Sherman Boulevard” require periodic maintenance; and

Whereas, The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District will maintain the  upper and lower retaining walls on both sides of Lincoln Creek between North Sherman Boulevard and North 35^th along with the form and function of the low flow channel through and underneath the replacement structures over Lincoln Creek at North 37^th Street and at North Sherman Boulevard; and

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee will maintain the replacement bridge structures over Lincoln Creek at North 37^th Street and at North Sherman Boulevard; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District for the purposes of establishing the responsibilities of the two parties with respect to the upper and lower retaining walls along reconstructed Congress Avenue and the bridges located over Lincoln Creek  at 37^th and Congress and North Sherman Boulevard and Congress, a copy of which is attached to this file; and, be it
