Ordinance]
Alderman
Kovak,
I would hope you would do
everything in your power to stop this ordinance from passing. While I understand
a possible permit for new murals (though why it would have to be $100 I do not
understand-wouldn't a one time fee of $20-$50 be more than enough??), the annual
$75 dollar inspection fee is quite ridiculous. I do not currently have a mural
on my property, but have thought about making one myself in my alley and have
very much enjoyed the art in the alleys murals from this past fall. Why must we
penalize homeowners who want to beatify their alleys and increase awareness and
appreciation for public art, yet the city seems to do nothing about properties
that are in horrible states of disrepair? Shouldn't they target people who do
not maintain their properties (slumlords) with annual inspection fees and fines
to gain revenue instead of homeowners who are constantly trying to beautify
their properties? This is outrageous.
Sincerely,
Kate

Check below: The $100 permit fee
means that the art in the Alleys project would have cost $1700.
As this
ordinance stands, it looks like any of us who have murals on our garages will
have to pay a $75 annual inspection fee. In other words, we're being
penalized for beautifying our garbage-strewn alleys.
Please call your
Alder (286.2221) and forward this to people throughout the city.

Peace…PLEASE
FORWARD!
This
mural ordinance will make it illegal to have murals facing alleys…this means
that the Art in the Alleys project will be considerably affected and no murals
facing an alley will be allowed per this proposed ordinance. Also, existing
murals facing alleys will have to get permits and pay fines within 90 days if
this ordinance passes. Please read the Mural Ordinance text document attached
for more details.
There is currently an ordinance
being proposed by Alderman Zilenski (District 14) and Alderman Witkowiak
(District 12) that if passed, would make it very difficult to paint a mural in
This
ordinance is illegal! It goes against our First Amendment
Right in the Constitution of Free Speech. This City of Milwaukee has more
pressing issues to contend with such as teenage pregnancy rates, segregation,
police brutality, a failing school system and the list goes on than to create
another fee that us citizens have to pay to beautify our communities. Also,
there are already signage permits and regulations on the books that are suffice.
We do NOT need another ordinance for painted murals.

If you have any questions or want to
get involved and volunteer with TRUE Skool to stop this ordinance from passing,

Thank you and we hope to see you at
these meetings!!
