Analysis
This resolution transfers $75,000 from the Capital Improvements Advance Planning Fund into the Comprehensive Plan Subaccount No. UR01280136. This allocation will provide technical assistance and other planning-related activities for the preparation of the Plan.
Body
Whereas, 1999 State of Wisconsin Act 9 (the Biennial Budget Act) required that the City of Milwaukee (“City”) prepare a Comprehensive Plan by 2010; and
Whereas, Area Comprehensive Plans for specific areas of the City are components of the Comprehensive Plan; and
Whereas, The Department of City Development (“DCD”) continues work on residential and commercial analysis as well as land-use policy development; and

Whereas, The preparation of the Southwest Side Area Comprehensive Plan requires approximately $75,000; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City Comptroller is directed to transfer the amount of $75,000 from Account No. UR01280136 to be used by DCD to support comprehensive planning and land-use policy development for the Southwest Side Area of the City; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the appropriate City staff are directed to begin preparation of the Southwest Side Area Comprehensive Plan for reference and use; and, be it
Further Resolved, That DCD is directed to enter into contracts or agreements, as necessary, to carry out the purpose and intent of this resolution.
