Top issues during term (20)(Environment)
Severe weather flooding protocols
No cost attached today, but alderpeople signaled major infrastructure investment — potentially hundreds of millions — will be needed.
Lead service line replacement
Expansion of lead line replacements is funded in 2025 and 2026, with federal funding uncertainty a looming risk.
Fall leaf collection
DPW will run both bagging and curbside collection this fall and report back on cost and participation.
Grocery and pharmacy retention
$1.8 million drawn from the Tax Stabilization Fund.
Native plant landscaping registry
Public Artist in Residence at the Fire Department
Funding details weren't finalized; staff are pursuing grants including from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation.
$1 million brownfield loan for 5825 West Hope Avenue cleanup
Up to $1 million from RACM's EPA Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund at 5% over 20 years.
No Mow May
Lead hazard reduction grant
Federal grant funds covering 2025-2029; local details were not discussed.
Green alleys and stormwater management
About $16 million a year goes to local road paving and reconstruction — less in real terms than a decade ago.
Federally funded EV charging network
The federal grant is frozen and only a few hundred thousand dollars of engineering money has been spent; a private partner would cover the 20% match and take revenue risk.
Native plants ordinance
The registry may carry a small administrative fee to cover processing costs.
Urban wood utilization
The city pays $72,000-$90,000 a year to ship logs that are mostly wasted.
Lincoln Creek flooding and the MMSD West Basin project
The playground ($750,000 in TID 72 funds) is the only TID piece dependent on the basin's 2027 construction timeline.
Multifamily recycling enforcement gap
Recycling ordinance technical revision
Brownfield cleanup funding
An added $500,000 in federal grant funds for a program totaling $17.8 million.
Garbage cans and North Avenue cleanliness
The city already has 500+ garbage cans purchased and can place them at no new cost.
End of city-run recycling at the MERF site
The $9.3 million insurance fund is being redirected to facilities instead of recycling.
Deconstruction ordinance moratorium extended again
No direct cost; salvageable building materials continue to be landfilled rather than reused.
