Minutes note: - Consideration of Proposals & Recommendations for Funding
Applications were received from the following organizations for conservation projects:
Westown Association of Milwaukee, Inc for the Spanish-American War Hero statue. Ms. Morris recommended deferring the application to the next cycle or having the applicant come to the next meeting to answer questions.
5 Points Neighborhood Association for landscaping at a park. Ms. Morris moved to deny the application because the request is not for conservation, but creation of a new park, seconded by Ms. Klose. There were no objections.
The Bells of Milwaukee, Inc for Historic Notre Dame Convent Bells and Belfry for restoring bells. Ms. Morris requested the applicants appear at the next meeting to respond to questions and concerns.
