Committee approves engineering funds for accessible and non‑accessible public improvement projects
Summary
The committee approved separate resolutions to set up engineering and appropriate funds for multiple accessible and non‑assessable public improvement projects, with combined project estimates ranging from $550,000 to $3.5 million; DPW said one substitute added a project and required extra construction-season funding.
The Milwaukee public works committee approved three separate resolutions setting up engineering and appropriating funds for city public‑works projects.
DPW project staff described the first file as a resolution to fund engineering work for future accessible improvements; the city engineering cost was listed as $25,000 with a total estimated project cost of $550,000. On the next file DPW described a non‑assessable package with a total estimated cost of $3,517,000 to set up engineering for future non‑assessable projects.
On the construction resolution, DPW said a proposed substitute adds one project that requires additional funding "in order to finish up construction this construction season," prompting an Alderman to move acceptance of the substitute. Committee members moved adoption and ordered the items without objection.
What happens next: The files were ordered by the committee and, unless otherwise noted, will proceed toward any required full‑council action and implementation steps specified in the resolutions.
