PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE Meeting Agenda February 20, 2020
This meeting will be webcast live at www.milwaukee.gov/channel25.
In the event that Common Council members who are not members of this committee attend this
meeting, this meeting may also simultaneously constitute a meeting of the Common Council or any
of the following committees: Community and Economic Development, Finance and Personnel,
Judiciary and Legislation, Licenses, Public Safety and Health, Public Works, Zoning, Neighborhoods
& Development, and/or Steering and Rules. Whether a simultaneous meeting is occurring depends
on whether the presence of one or more of the Common Council member results in a quorum of the
Common Council or any of the above committees, and, if there is a quorum of another committee,
whether any agenda items listed above involve matters within that committee’s realm of authority.
In the event that a simultaneous meeting is occurring, no action other than information gathering will
be taken at the simultaneous meeting.
Times for specific agenda items are estimations. If items cannot be heard at their specified times,
they will be heard as soon as practicable thereafter.
