Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the City of Milwaukee urges Oshkosh Defense to build the Next Generation Delivery Vehicles for the U.S. Postal Service at the Century City Business Park; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Clerk shall send a certified copy of this resolution to Mr. John Pfiefer, President and Chief Operating Officer of Oshkosh Defense; and, be it
