Body

Whereas, Stormwater pollution control is an important component of the City of Milwaukee’s (City) storm water management regulations and the City’s stormwater permit with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR); and

Whereas, Nonpoint sources such as roadways have been recognized as the primary source of environmental pollution by discharging polluted runoff directly into the local streams and water bodies, threatening natural habitat and species; and

Whereas, In 2016, the City was awarded Green Solutions Funding from Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD); and

Whereas, The funds allowed the construction of bioswales in the medians of medians of West Good Hope Road between North 91^st Street and North 107^th Street and on West Mill Road between North 51^st Street and North 91^st Street; and

Whereas, The agreement for said funding requires that, in order for the MMSD to reimburse the City for the cost of the project, the City shall execute a maintenance covenant in favor of MMSD; and

Whereas, MMSD has drafted said covenant which shall be in effect for a period of ten years; now therefore, be it;

Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to execute Green Infrastructure Ten-Year Maintenance Covenant in favor of Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District for the maintenance of green infrastructure located in the medians of West Good Hope Road between North 91^st Street and North 107^th Street and West Mill Road between North 51^st Street and North 91^st Street, said Covenant being attached to this Common Council Resolution File Number 191010 and incorporated in this resolution by reference as though set forth in full.
