Resolution amending Common Council Resolution File Number 191180 to further extend the deadline for the Millennial Task Force to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the Common Council.
Analysis
This resolution further amends Common Council File Number 191180, adopted on November 26, 2019, to extend the deadline for the Millennial Task Force to provide the Common Council a report of its findings and recommendations. The deadline is changed from the amended date of December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021.
Body
Whereas, The Common Council adopted Resolution File Number 191180 on November 26, 2019, creating a Millennial Task Force; and
Whereas, File Number 191180 originally required the Millennial Task Force to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the Common Council by June 30, 2020; and
Whereas, On March 23, 2020, the Commissioner of Health issued an Order imposing a city-wide “Stay-at-Home” requirement to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 under the authority of s. 252.03, Wis. Stats.; and
Whereas, Governor Tony Evers has signed a number of COVID-19 Emergencies and Executive Orders, including Executive Order #94 on November 10, 2020, advising Wisconsinites to stay home; and
Whereas, Members of the Millennial Task Force agreed on March 20, 2020 to delay further in-person meetings due to the spread of COVID-19; and
Whereas, File Number 200013 amended File Number 191180 by extending the reporting deadline for the Task Force to December 31, 2020; and
Whereas, During 2020, the Task Force has held 2 in-person meetings and 9 virtual meetings; and
Whereas, In meetings thus far, the Task Force has heard from many guest speakers, coalesced around ideas, compiled research, and crafted a number of goals and draft recommendations; and
Whereas, In a December 14, 2020 meeting, Task Force members expressed confidence that they will finish their analysis, research, and final report by March 31, 2021; and
Whereas, Given the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, amending the deadline to June 30, 2021 will provide the Task Force with a contingency should further unforeseen events occur; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that Common Council File Number 191180 is amended by replacing the seventh “Further Resolved” clause with the following:
“Further Resolved, That the Millennial Task Force shall submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the Common Council by June 30, 2021, and shall thereafter be automatically dissolved, unless extended by the Common Council.”
