City of Milwaukee Page 47 Printed on 2/6/2024
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes February 6, 2024
Whereas, owners of small and medium-sized commercial buildings, including

Whereas, for a number of reasons, owners of such buildings are often challenged to
secure the financing and obtain adequate assistance with energy assessments and

· to donate up to $11,750,950 from TID 48 to TID 74 by allocating positive tax
increments from TID 48 to TID 74 for each of years 2024-2027 as allowed by Wis.
Stat. 66.1105(6)(f); and
· to also include using TID 48 increment to fund up to $5,750,000 in public
infrastructure improvements within a one-half mile radius of TID 48’s boundary as
allowed by Wis. Stat. 66.1105 (2)(f)1.n. and by 66.1105 (4m)(d) and $250,000 for
administration; and
Whereas, As Amendment 6 indicates, the proposed donation from TID 48 to TID 74
meets the requirements in Wis. Stat. 66.1105(6)(f) (TID 48 and 74 both were created
by RACM and approved by the Common Council and TID 48 and 74 have the same
overlying taxing jurisdictions, TID 74 was created upon a finding that not less than 50
percent by area of real property within TID 74 is blighted and in need of rehabilitation,
TID 48 will first satisfy its current year debt service and project cost obligations
before the allocation of increment from TID 48 to TID 74, and the life of TID 48 will
not be extended), and Amendment 6 lists the proposed donation amounts and
methodology to calculate those donation amounts; and
Whereas, Amendment 6 lists the type of public infrastructure improvements to be
made within the one-half mile radius of TID 48’s boundaries to be included as TID 48
project costs and shows the area that those improvements will be made in, all as
allowed by Wis. Stat. 66.1105 (2)(f)1.n.; and
Whereas, Pursuant to Section 66.1105(4)(h)(l), Wisconsin Statutes, on January 18,
2024, RACM conducted a public hearing on Amendment No. 6 to the Project Plan
for the District (“Amendment”), approved the Amendment by resolution and
submitted the Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File,
to the Common Council for its approval; and
Whereas, Section 66.1105(4)(g) and (h)(1), Wisconsin Statutes, provides that an
amendment to a Project Plan shall be approved by the Common Council with the
adoption of a resolution, which contains findings that such amendment is feasible and
in conformity with the Master Plan of the City of Milwaukee (“City”); and
City of Milwaukee Page 58 Printed on 2/6/2024
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes February 6, 2024
Whereas, Per Section 66.1105(5)(b), Wisconsin Statutes, 10 percent of the territory
within the District will be devoted to retail business at the end of the maximum
expenditure period; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that it finds and
determines as follows:
1. The Amendment retains the existing boundaries of the District and does not alter the
number of properties within the District. Therefore, the findings made in File No.
011182, pursuant to Section 66.1105(4)(gm)l and 4, Wisconsin Statutes, are
unchanged.
2. The Amendment revises the project costs to be supported by the District and
revises the Economic Feasibility Report that is part of the Project Plan and makes
related changes regarding the timing of project costs and methods of financing. The
improvement and/or development of such area are/is likely to significantly enhance the
value of substantially all of the other real property in and adjoining the District.
3. The project costs provided in the Amendment relate directly to promoting
development consistent with the City's Master Plan and with the purpose(s) for which
the District was created under Section 66.1105(4)(gm)4.a., Wisconsin Statutes.
4. The percentage of the aggregate value of the equalized taxable property of the
District, plus the incremental value of all other existing Tax Incremental Districts within
the City, does not exceed the statutory maximum 12 percent of the aggregate value of
total equalized value of taxable property within the City; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Amendment is approved and the Project Plan for the
District, as amended, is feasible, in conformity with the Master Plan for the City and
will promote the orderly development of the City; and, be it
Further Resolved, That:
1. The City Clerk is directed to notify the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, in such
form as may be prescribed by said Department, of the approval of this Amendment
pursuant to Wis. Stat. 66.1105 (5).
2. The City Comptroller is directed to transfer the sum of up to $6,000,000, plus
capitalized interest for two years, if necessary, from the Parent TID Account to the
Project Account No. 0336-1910-TD04880000 for the purpose of providing a
portion of the necessary funding for implementation of the Amendment.
3. The City Comptroller is directed to transfer the tax incremental revenue received by
City of Milwaukee Page 59 Printed on 2/6/2024
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes February 6, 2024
TID 48 to such accounts appropriate for TID 74, as shown in and contemplated by
the Amendment and the calculation methodology reflected therein.
4. The City Comptroller, in conjunction with the Commissioner of DCD, is directed to
perform such acts and to create such accounts and subaccounts and make
appropriate transfers, upon written request by DCD, for all revenue or expenditure
activity under this resolution; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the proper City officials are directed to execute any additional
documents and instruments necessary to carry out the purposes of the Amendment,
including, without limitation, a Grant Agreement with Milwaukee Downtown, Inc. or
Milwaukee County for park improvements, as applicable.

92. 231588 Resolution urging the Chief of the Milwaukee Fire Department and all certified
ambulance service providers operating within the City of Milwaukee 911 system to
adopt or modify Standard Operating Guidelines to require responders to exit their
vehicles and search for those requesting assistance when weather, other environmental
conditions, or obstructions, create impaired or reduced visibility at or around the
location or landmark to which responders are dispatched.
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee mourns the tragic loss of a Milwaukee-area woman
that occurred on January 15th, 2024, at the intersection of 76th and Congress streets;
and
Whereas, The woman had called 911 and requested medical attention for herself, but
City of Milwaukee Page 81 Printed on 2/6/2024
COMMON COUNCIL Common Council Minutes February 6, 2024
was not located by the responding private ambulance crew, resulting in a significant
delay in hands-on medical attention; and
Whereas, This fatal incident calls into question the efficacy of existing emergency
response standard operating guidelines, as the woman likely would have been found
had the rescue team exited the vehicle and physically searched the area immediately
surrounding the location to which they were dispatched; and
Whereas, Requiring responders to exit their vehicles and search for those requesting
assistance when weather, other environmental conditions, or obstructions, create
impaired or reduced visibility at and around the location and/or landmark to which
responders are dispatched may prevent another such tragic instance from occurring in
the future and improve the safety of local residents; and
Whereas, Existing and future technological capabilities to improve the potential for
responders to locate cellular telephone 911 callers should be evaluated to ensure all
available methods for caller location are utilized to prevent another such tragedy; and
Whereas, A review of existing 911 dispatch protocols and an enhancement of such
responses that occur for patients who are identified as being outdoors in extreme
weather conditions may help prevent another such tragedy; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Chief of the
Milwaukee Fire Department and all certified ambulance service providers are urged to
adopt or modify Standard Operating Guidelines to require rescue crews to exit their
vehicles and search for those requesting assistance when weather, other environmental
conditions, or obstructions, create impaired or reduced visibility at or around the
location or landmark to which responders are dispatched; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Chief of the Milwaukee Fire Department is urged to
undertake a review of available and future technologies for locating cellular telephone
911 callers; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Chief of the Milwaukee Fire Department is urged to
review existing 911 dispatch protocols and provide enhancements for such responses
that occur for patients who are identified as being outdoors in extreme weather; and,
be it
Further Resolved, That the Chief of the Milwaukee Fire Department is urged to
undertake a review process with the City’s private ambulance service providers and
to report back to the Common Council within seven calendar days of the effective
date of this resolution.

for Amber Alerts.
Whereas, In October 2023, 5-year-old Prince McCree was murdered in Milwaukee
after being reported missing, but the Milwaukee Police Department later said the case

Whereas, In response to this tragedy, the Wisconsin State Legislature proposed the
Protection and Recovery Involving Non-located Children Endangered Act, or the

Whereas, The PRINCE Act would require local authorities to send alerts to the
mobile phones of people in the surrounding vicinity of missing children in cases that do
not meet the criteria for Amber Alerts; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Department of
Administration-Intergovernmental Relations Division is directed to seek introduction
and passage of the PRINCE Act, which relates to alerts for missing children who do
not meet the criteria for Amber Alerts; and, be it
