Whereas, As with the previous Milwaukee Marathons, the Event’s route is proposed
to be entirely within the geographic boundaries of the City; and
Whereas, The staging of the Event requires significant City resources, particularly
Milwaukee Police Department and Department of Public Works resources relating to
traffic control before, during and after the Event; and
Whereas, The Department of Public Works does not have sufficient traffic control
equipment for the Event; and
Whereas, By Resolution 141123, adopted on November 25, 2014, the Common
Council found that City taxpayers should not bear the costs of City services provided
to support the Event, but, rather, that the City should fully recover those costs from
the Event organizer; and
Whereas, The Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to approve or deny
special event permit applications according to the criteria set forth in
s.105-55.5-2-c-1 to c-11 of the Code of Ordinances; and
Whereas, The Commissioner has determined that in the absence of an operating
agreement, a special event permit would not meet the criteria in s.105-55.5-2-c-1
because the Event is of such a size or nature requiring the diversion of so great a
number of police officers, ambulances or other emergency services as to deny
reasonable emergency services to the city as a whole; and
Whereas, The Commissioner has determined that in the absence of an operating
agreement, a special event permit would not meet the criteria in s.105-55.5-2-c-2
because the time, route, size and nature of the Event will unreasonably disrupt the safe
and orderly use of any street or any public place, or material portion thereof, which is
ordinarily subject to great congestion or traffic at the proposed time, or substantially
interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic; and
Whereas, The Common Council reaffirms its finding that City of Milwaukee taxpayers
should not be required to bear the costs of City services provided to support the
Event, but, rather, that the City should fully recover those costs from Ventures
Endurance, LLC; and
Whereas, The City Attorney’s Office has prepared the attached operating agreement
for the Common Council’s review and approval; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the attached
Operating Agreement between the City of Milwaukee and Ventures Endurance, LLC
for Staging of the 2024 Milwaukee Marathon is approved; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the proper City officials are authorized to execute an
Operating Agreement with Ventures Endurance, LLC that is substantially the same as
the draft Operating Agreement attached to this file.

COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes December 12, 2023
Whereas, On January 19, 2021, the Common Council adopted File Number 201197,
which directs the Health Department to collaborate with the Department of
Administration on developing a voluntary Lead-Safe Registry initiative for Milwaukee
property owners; and
Whereas, Many properties rented for residential use in Milwaukee are believed to
have significant lead-poisoning hazards which can be contained or abated by regular
and conscientious maintenance; and
Whereas, A person renting and living in a residential property has a right to presume
the property being rented is a healthy and safe environment, free from risk of sickness
or injury; and
Whereas, It is in the public health interest of the City to protect the health and safety of
residents renting and living in rental properties by updating the Lead-Safe Registry
such that it is public-facing and user-friendly in order to provide current and
prospective renters with details related to the lead-hazard status of rental units; and
Whereas, Property owners seeking to register their property on the Lead-Safe
Registry should have easy access to a user-friendly system; now, therefore be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Health
Department shall make its Lead-Safe Registry public-facing and user-friendly and shall
publicize the registry’s availability; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Health Department shall collaborate with the City Clerk’s
Public Information Division and other City agencies in order to publicize the availability
of the Lead-Safe Registry; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Health Department shall update the Common Council on
the Lead-Safe Registry within 90 days of adoption of this resolution.

Whereas, In 2021, the City of Milwaukee contracted with Griffin & Strong, P.C.,
(“GSPC”) to conduct a comprehensive disparity study to determine whether or not
statistically significant disparity exists between the number of minority- and
women-owned businesses that are ready, willing, and able to provide or perform
goods, services (professional and non-professional) and construction services and the
number of majority-owned concerns currently participating in these same types of
contracts with the City; and
Whereas, GSPC analyzed the prime contractor contracting and subcontracting
activities for the City’s purchases in the industry categories of construction;
architecture and engineering; professional services; other services; and goods during
the 5-year study period January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019; and
Whereas, GSPC has prepared and submitted to the City the 2023 Disparity Study
that is attached to this Common Council file; and
Whereas, The 2023 Disparity Study contains a number of legal, policy, quantitative
City of Milwaukee Page 144 Printed on 12/13/2023
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes December 12, 2023
and anecdotal and private-sector findings, including:
1. The City continues to implement race- and gender-neutral measures to try to
increase utilization of MWBE (minority- and women-owned business enterprise)
firms, but the present Study shows that those measures have not been effective in
resolving or significantly reducing the identified disparities. Accordingly, the City has a
basis to introduce race and gender conscious remedies or policies toward that goal.
2. Anecdotal interviews indicated that there were some complaints by bidders or
potential bidders that bond requirements were a barrier to participation in City
contracting. Likewise, insurance was occasionally cited in interviews as a potential
barrier to participation.
3. Milwaukee paid a total of $500.3 million in prime construction spending in the
Geographic Relevant Market (the 4-county metro area) during the study period and
$44.9 million of this amount, or 8.55% was paid to MWBE firms as prime
contractors. MWBEs were paid 9.55% of architectural and engineering services,
6.69% of professional services, 4.07% of other services, and 8.11% of goods.
MWBEs won 7.40% of prime payments across all purchasing categories.
4. There was underutilization in prime contracts for all MWBEs groups, except
Black Americans in goods and Native Americans in construction services.
5. Study participants expressed concern about prime contractors using
pass-throughs and fronts to sidestep the City’s 25% SBE (small business enterprise)
hiring goals. More than one-third of the firms participating in the anecdotal interview
portion of the Study outlined experiences in which they encountered prime contractors
using subcontractors to skirt participation goals or feign good faith efforts to win
contracts with the City. More than a third of the respondents to the GSPC Survey of
Business Owners believed to some degree that prime contractors would include a
small business subcontractor on a bid to meet the goals, then drop the subcontractor
after winning the bid.
6. Non-SMWDBEs (non-small, minority, women or disadvantaged business
enterprises) accounted for approximately 90% of building permits in the City of
Milwaukee during the 2018 - 2021 calendar years. To the extent that experience
acquired by participating in the private sector translates into an enhanced capacity to
compete in the market for public sector contracts and subcontracts, the almost
complete dominance of Non-SMWDBEs in securing building permits suggests the
presence of private sector barriers faced by SMWDBEs.
; and
Whereas, The Common Council finds these and all other findings of the 2023
Disparity Study to be persuasive and true; and
Whereas, The Common Council finds that the findings of this Study demonstrate that
there is a factual predicate that supports the establishment of race- and gender-
City of Milwaukee Page 145 Printed on 12/13/2023
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes December 12, 2023
conscious program elements, along with race- and gender-neutral tools; and
Whereas, In the 2023 Disparity Study, GSPC makes a number of recommendations
to assist the City in remedying the disparities found to ensure that all available firms
within the Geographic Relevant Market are given every chance to succeed in doing
business with the City, including that the City:
1. Increase both resources and staffing as part of the City’s plan to adopt and
implement the Study’s recommendations.
2. Set annual internal MBE and WBE goals based upon availability.
3. Establish a procurement non-discrimination policy to investigate possible
discrimination.
4. Streamline the registration and certification process and initiate a campaign to
encourage MWBE firms to obtain certification.
5. Analyze payments at the departmental level to improve the time for prime
contractors to get paid.
6. Continue to review bonding and insurance levels on a project-by-project basis to
make sure that the limits are necessary.
; and
Whereas, The Common Council supports implementation of these and all other
recommendations in the 2023 Disparity Study; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City of
Milwaukee adopts the 2023 Disparity Study attached to this Common Council file,
including all of the study’s findings and recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City is committed to implementing all recommendations of
the 2023 Disparity Study; and, be it
Further Resolved, That all City departments are directed to take all necessary actions
to implement the recommendations of the 2023 Disparity Study.

COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes December 12, 2023
MATTERS FOR IMMEDIATE ADOPTION:
121. 231226 Resolution relating to voter registration and election information access within existing
City services.
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee may enact legislation and take action to protect the
general welfare of the public; and
Whereas, The right to vote is the foundation of American democracy; and
Whereas, Free and fair elections that reflect the will of the American people must be
protected and defended; and
Whereas, Many residents of the City confront significant obstacles to exercising the
fundamental right to vote, including difficulties with voter registration, lack of clear
election information, and barriers to access at polling places; and
Whereas, The United States Congress, when passing the National Voter Registration
Act of 1993, found that it is the duty of federal, state, and local governments to
promote the exercise of the fundamental right to vote; and
Whereas, It is the City’s duty to ensure that registering to vote and the act of voting be
made simple and straightforward for all eligible voters; and
Whereas, The City should serve as a model employer by encouraging and facilitating
municipal employees’ civic participation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that all City agencies are
directed to consider ways to expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote and to
obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the head of each City agency shall collaborate with the
Election Commission to evaluate ways in which the agency can promote voter
registration and voter participation, including, at minimum, the following items:
1. Ways to provide relevant information in the normal course of agency activities or
the provision of services that directly engage with the public about how to register to
vote, how to request a vote-by-mail ballot, and how to cast a ballot in upcoming
elections. Engagement opportunities could include agency materials, websites, online
forms, social media platforms, mailers, flyers, and other points of public access.
2. Ways to facilitate a seamless transition from City agencies’ websites directly to the
state’s online voter registration system.
City of Milwaukee Page 152 Printed on 12/13/2023
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes December 12, 2023
3. Ways to provide access to voter registration services, vote-by-mail ballot

f. Assisting applicants in completing voter registration and vote-by-mail ballot
application forms in a manner consistent with all relevant state laws.
g. Soliciting and facilitating approved, nonpartisan, third-party organizations and state
officials to provide voter registration services on agency premises.
4. Ways to promote and expand access to multilingual voter registration and election
information, and to promote equal participation in the electoral process for all eligible
citizens of all backgrounds.
; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the head of each City agency shall meet with the staff of the
Election Commission within 60 days of the date of this resolution to create a
comprehensive plan outlining the ways that the agency will promote voter registration
and voter participation in accordance with the previous resolved clause; and be it
Further Resolved, That the Executive Director of the Election Commission shall collect
each agency’s comprehensive plan and create a comprehensive report which contains,
at a minimum, the following items:
1. An overview of the ways each agency will integrate voter registration and
education opportunities into customer service interactions.
2. An identification of customer service interactions for each agency that have no
City of Milwaukee Page 153 Printed on 12/13/2023
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes December 12, 2023
planned voter registration opportunities, the reason there will be no voter registration
opportunities, and a list of specific resources that would be needed to include voter
registration opportunities in those customer service interactions.
; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the head of each agency shall submit an updated
comprehensive plan which identifies any new opportunities to promote voter
registration and voter participation and which reports progress on previously-identified
opportunities to the Election Commission, by November 30 in even-numbered years,
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Election Commission shall report the results of the updated
comprehensive plans to the Common Council by December 31 in even-numbered
years; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Department of Employee Relations is directed to continue
the policy implemented in 2020 of granting paid time off for employees who volunteer

123. 231326 A resolution relating to acceptance of American Rescue Plan Act funds from the State
of Wisconsin Department of Administration for the Northridge Mall Demolition and
Redevelopment Program.
Whereas, since its closure in 2002, the Northridge Mall located on Milwaukee’s
northwest side has deteriorated to a dangerous nuisance condition; and
Whereas, the City is currently in the process of razing and remediating the dangerous
nuisance condition of the Boston Store portion of the former Northridge Mall; and
Whereas, the remainder of the former Northridge Mall remains in a dangerous
nuisance condition, sustaining at least seven fires since July, 2022, most recently on
November 2, 2023, which places a severe strain on the Milwaukee Fire Department
and on surrounding jurisdictions; and
Whereas, the City of Milwaukee has an enforceable raze order on the remainder of
the Northridge Mall property; and
Whereas, to abate the dangerous nuisance and bring the property back to productive
use, the City would be required to abate environmental contaminants including
asbestos, mercury and other universal wastes at the site, complete demolition work,
relocate certain utilities, green the property, and continue revitalization planning; and
Whereas, the City expects that returning Northridge to productive use will catapult
much needed economic recovery in the area surrounding the former mall, discourage
crime in the area, and build on the redevelopment work put into action by the
Granville Business Improvement District and other interested groups; and
Whereas, the United States Department of the Treasury has distributed to the State of
Wisconsin, through its Department of Administration (WI-DOA), funds (“ARPA
Funds”) from the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 802, as added by section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
(“ARPA”); and
Whereas, WI-DOA is interested in assisting the City of Milwaukee in its efforts to
remediate, green, and return the remainder of the Northridge Mall property to
productive use through a grant of the State’s ARPA funding; and
City of Milwaukee Page 155 Printed on 12/13/2023
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes December 12, 2023
Whereas, a Final Rule issued by the U.S. Treasury Department effective April 1,
2022, outlines the eligible uses to include expenditure category 2.23, “Strong Healthy
Communities: Demolition and Rehabilitation of Properties,” which specifically
incorporates costs to secure, acquire title of, demolish, deconstruct, and
environmentally remediate vacant or abandoned properties, and the costs to put such
properties back into productive use; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City of
Milwaukee, through its Department of Neighborhood Services, may accept said State
funding in the amount of $15,000,000 and enter into an appropriate memorandum of
understanding with the WI-DOA for such funding without further approval unless the
terms of the project change as indicated in the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances
Section 304-81; and, be it
Further Resolved, that the City Comptroller is authorized to commit funds within the
Special Revenue Fund, the following amount for the project titled the Northridge Mall
Demolition and Redevelopment Program:

Whereas, The Department of Public Works has historically collected discarded
Christmas trees as part of its regular garbage collection activities, and
Whereas, Taking discarded Christmas trees to a collection site for proper disposal
may be a hardship for many residents; and
Whereas, Improperly discarded Christmas trees will be unsightly if they remain in the
public right-of-way all winter; and
Whereas, Abandoned Christmas trees in the public right-of way may create a safety
hazard by interfering with snow and ice removal operations; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Department of
Public Works is directed to collect discarded Christmas trees left at residents’ normal
garbage collection points, as well as trees found in vacant lots and other locations in
the public right-of-way, from December 26, 2023 through April 1, 2024; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Department of Public Works is directed to mulch the
