Title
Resolution authorizing the transfer of funds from the Capital Improvements-Advance Planning Fund account to a subaccount for the preparation of a design charrette for the Menomonee Valley, in the 4th, 8th and 12th Aldermanic Districts.
Analysis
This resolution transfers $10,000 in funds from the 2017 Capital Improvements-Advance Planning Fund account into a subaccount for a design charrette for the Menomonee Valley.
Body
Whereas, On June 2, 2015, the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee (“Common Council”) approved the Menomonee Valley 2.0 Area Plan as one of the components of the Comprehensive Plan; and
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee (“City”), Department of City Development (“DCD”), is working with the Menomonee Valley Partners and other area stakeholders to implement recommendations from the Menomonee Valley 2.0 Area Plan in order to redevelop specific vacant or underutilized sites in the Menomonee Valley and the results from a design charrette will be used to further enhance these efforts; and
Whereas, The Menomonee Valley Partners will participate in a design charrette with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Community Design Solutions (“CDS”), focusing on six priority redevelopment sites; and
Whereas, CDS has conducted several design charrettes in neighborhoods throughout Milwaukee that have led to the redevelopment of certain sites; and
Whereas, The City typically provides a financial match to the participating local organization or Business Improvement District contribution to conduct these design charrettes; and
Whereas, The current unencumbered balance in the Capital Improvements-Advance Planning Fund cannot be expended unless the funds are transferred to a specific subaccount; 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 $10,000 from the Capital Improvements-Advance Planning Fund Account No. UR01217000A to be allocated to the Menomonee Valley Charrette Subaccount No. UR01280146 to be used by DCD for a design charrette in the amount of $10,000; and, be it
Further Resolved, That DCD is directed to enter into such contracts and agreements, as necessary, for a Menomonee Valley design charrette.
