Subject: For Weds' PW Meeting Alderman Bauman: Thank you for taking the time to talk with Mick Hatch and Corey Zetts regarding the Stockyards stormwater project on Friday. I have attached a letter of support for the resolution before you. We have been working closely with Commissioner Mantes, Jeff Polenske, others at DPW and MVP consultants to determine a way to move forward with the goals of this project, while addressing the design and timing constraints. We believe the resolution and plan of implementation we are pursuing upholds up the goals that we are trying to achieve. I would like to submit the attached letter to the file indicating our support and the reasons for it. I plan to attend the meeting (if I am able to run over after our 8 am MVP Board meeting) to speak of our support. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions! <> Sincerely, Laura Bray Executive Director Menomonee Valley Partners, Inc. www.renewtheavalley.org Email -- laura@renewthevalley.org 301 W.
