Committee approvals: appointments, reappointments and local partnerships (votes at a glance)
Summary
The Community and Economic Development Committee approved a slate of appointments and resolutions, including youth council nominations, multiple business-improvement-district appointments, a Sister Cities friendship agreement and a resolution joining the Swimmable Cities Alliance.
The Community and Economic Development Committee considered a series of confirmations, reappointments and local resolutions and recorded the following outcomes by voice vote or order of the chair. Where a specific roll-call tally was not recorded in the transcript, outcomes are recorded as described by the committee (approved/held/on file).
- Nomination of Aida El Hajar as third-district representative to the Milwaukee Youth Council (Item 2250839): Approved by voice. Presented by City Clerk Jim O.
- Appointments and reappointments to multiple Business Improvement Districts (various items): Confirmed by voice, including David Breedy (BID #8), Maria Burke (BID #4), Leticia Cruz (BID #4), Dan Didier (reappointment, BID #4), Kelsey Otero (BID #10), Therese Kyrell (BID #32), and several others listed on the agenda; confirmations were moved and adopted with no objection.
- Substitute Resolution transferring remaining funds allocated for Girls Day at City Hall from the Milwaukee Excellence Fund to Bronzeville Week (Item 14250665): Held at the call of the chair.
- Substitute Resolution relating to the city of Milwaukee's participation in the Swimmable Cities Alliance (Item 15250915): Initially held while awaiting Alderman Bergellis, later presented by Alderman Bergellis and adopted after discussion; ECO staff described it as aligning with the city's water-centric initiatives and noted ongoing river cleanup and dredging projects.
- Resolution establishing a friendly exchange relationship between the City of Milwaukee and Chassuer Chrone, France (Item 16250908): Adopted; committee members noted historical connections (e.g., Joan of Arc chapel bricks transferred to Marquette University) and the visiting delegation scheduled for a fall visit.
- Substitute Resolution allocating remaining CDBG-CV funds for homelessness (Item 1725-0877): Adopted; staff will return with a detailed communication file on allocations and reporting.
Most confirmations were approved by voice without recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript. Several items were placed on file when noted. The committee paused briefly for a recess and photo opportunities during the meeting; items not specifically named above were addressed on the record and ordered as moved by committee members with no objection.
