Analysis

On February 19, 2024, the State Legislature enacted 2023 Wisconsin Act 94, which adopted revised State legislative district maps.  These maps split 2 election wards in the City of Milwaukee’s 14^th Aldermanic District (wards 282 and 348), necessitating the creation of 2 new wards (wards 355 and 356) and the adoption of a new City election ward map (Common Council File Number 231866).  This ordinance revises the enumeration of wards by aldermanic district to include the numbers of the 2 newly-created wards in the 14^th Aldermanic District.  The ordinance makes no changes to any aldermanic district boundaries.
