Board authorizes superintendent to negotiate memorandum of understanding with FEMA and county for emergency property use
Summary
After a closed session, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors authorized the superintendent to negotiate a memorandum of understanding with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Milwaukee County to use property at 4950 North 204th Street for emergency purposes.
After retiring to closed session pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes §19.85, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors returned to open session and voted to authorize the superintendent to negotiate a memorandum of understanding with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Milwaukee County regarding use of district property at 4950 North 204th Street for emergency purposes.
Director O’Halloran moved to authorize the superintendent to enter negotiations on behalf of the board with FEMA and the county; Director Ferguson seconded. The board approved the motion on a roll call vote, 8‑0, with one member having left the meeting prior to the vote.
The motion authorized negotiation but did not finalize any agreement; the superintendent was empowered to negotiate terms required by FEMA and Milwaukee County. No further details were disclosed in open session about the proposed terms; the board stated the item had been properly noticed for possible closed session discussion and negotiation.
The board’s approval permits administration to proceed with discussions and to return to the board with a proposed MOU or for further required approvals.
