Title

Resolution authorizing City entry into Green Solutions Funding Agreements and Conservation Easements with MMSD and MPS for MPS properties, in the 6^th, 8^th,9^th, 14^th and 15^th Aldermanic Districts.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes the City of Milwaukee to enter into Green Solutions Funding Agreements and Conservation Easements with MMSD and MPS for grant funding for installation of green infrastructure at various MPS properties.

Body

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee is the owner of record of the following Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) sites concerning which the MPS Board has the duty of care, control and management under Wis. Stat. 119.16 (1m) and (3)(b) and Wis. Stat. 119.60 (2):

•                     3666 S. Clement Avenue (Clement Avenue School)

•                     3014 W. Scott Street (Doerfler School)

•                     1555 N. Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive (Golda Meir School)

•                     7501 N. Granville Road (Vincent High School)

•                     1945 N. 31^st Street (Westside Academy); and

Whereas, The Metropolitan Milwaukee Sewerage District (MMSD) is willing to use funds available to it to reimburse MPS for green infrastructure improvements at MPS school sites, in particular “Green Solutions” (GS) funds (MMSD uses “5” as the digit code for GS funding) for the above school sites; and

Whereas, Green infrastructure improvements through this funding stream will help divert storm water from local sewerage systems; and

Whereas, MMSD requires MPS, and the City as the record title holder of the MPS sites: to enter into respective GS funding agreements on a per parcel basis; and to enter, after the infrastructure has been installed at each site, a conservation easement on a per parcel basis; and

Whereas, The respective GS funding agreements now needed for the respective MPS school sites have been submitted to this file; and

Whereas, A template conservation easement to be used post-installation has already been approved in City Common Council Resolution File No. 191139, which template will be the same template to be used for these green infrastructure projects post-installation; now therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the GS funding agreements that were submitted to this file are hereby approved, and City personnel, including the DPW Commissioner, are authorized: (i) to cause the City to enter those documents in the same form, or in substantially the same form and substance, as have been submitted to this file; and (ii) to take such further acts as may be contemplated or required to be taken by the City thereunder so as to carry out the intent and purpose of this resolution and those documents, including post-installation execution of the respective conservation easements as required by the funding agreements and in substantially the same form and substance as were approved in Council File 191139.
