The report, presented by Sean Hayes of the Department of Administrative Services, identifies projects that may require professional-service contracts above specified thresholds and extends reporting requirements established in prior authorizations.

Hayes, interim director of facilities management, described the action as an update required \"in accordance with county ordinance 5630,\" and to highlight projects that may trigger requirements under Wisconsin Statutes 59.52. \"Table 1 identifies the 2025 projects that may be may require professional service contracts exceeding $20,000,\" he said, and noted park projects that may trigger higher thresholds under state statute. He told the committee that Appendix A highlights a single 2025 project that triggered the statute's reporting requirements the prior year: the Clinton Rose Kitchen project.

Committee members asked for follow-up and clarity on specific items. Supervisor Boxton said some earlier questions had diverted members to other sources and asked staff to provide more direct answers; Hayes said he would follow up. Several supervisors asked whether the project portfolio dashboard could be made publicly available and how often it is updated; Hayes said staff update the dashboard monthly and would consider posting it publicly.

Vote and procedure: On the motion by Supervisor Gomez Tom that item number 2 be recommended for adoption, the committee recorded the following roll-call responses: Gomez Tom: Aye; Logston: Aye; Shea: Aye; Capriollo: Aye; Mr. Chairman: Aye. The motion was recorded as carried, 5 ayes, 0 nos. The item had been referred to the committee on finance in addition to the committee on community, environment and economic development.

Context and implications: The report is intended to identify capital projects and to set expectations for when professional-service contracts will require additional approval or reporting under county ordinance and state statute. Hayes said the department is moving from a stabilization phase to an optimization phase in delivering capital projects and emphasized monthly updates to a project portfolio dashboard and the use of tools to track scope, schedule and budget status.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Milwaukee County - Committee on Community, Environment and Economic Development on 2025-01-27 9:30 AM - HYBRID MEETINGThis meeting will be held in Room 201-B, and will be live-streamed on the County Legislative Information Center: https://milwaukeecounty.legistar.com/Calen - Jan 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee voted unanimously to recommend adoption of an updated project delivery plan for the 2025 capital improvement budget, noting county ordinance and Wisconsin Statute procurement thresholds and citing the Clinton Rose Kitchen project as an example that triggered reporting under state law.","taxTitle","Milwaukee County, Wisconsin","taxId",2736,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6707825,"County committee backs formal Milwaukee County participation in City-County climate and economic equity advisory board",913,39985,953884,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2153888-33887639027cd374458b2a0c9642f7ab&start=39&end=953","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2153888-33887639027cd374458b2a0c9642f7ab/thumbnail_39985.jpg","/articles/6707825/Milwaukee-County/Wisconsin/County-committee-backs-formal-Milwaukee-County-participation-in-City-County-climate-and-economic-equity-advisory-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6707825-8c570643a4de759c4f898da521dfb10e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771102204&Signature=h9i4G1lA8owQAwDpgws5AfseOQMARsDkEJn1aIfpV16MKFDkNCJDYmuXHhFT-Lsh7t1D~X2B21W6m6emW5LEPkqUq1-oLawolWWwA7ejb4rDYQ6ATeOSfFfuJgqUJy2TPKuYt8urJ7HA-t3f-8kMuuYeE42MsMEvyP0VD8Mt7YAKvsapc68rP76kPGvAn03zPS3wASg7ibZB61xmGLpz~f5Fk9myMP6DfRM33AnVgmkJ9dODkq6fuYbxiPqKzPhIM~f9I1nKxTT2dLBiHWcWIlVt0cHHEY-m6tDGfIxKdXgEOFuaaRy9H4~sC6cH27NBoqwDticMWMWlt0Mt1of1nQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Milwaukee County Board committee on community, environment and economic development voted to recommend adoption of a resolution to dissolve the City-County Task Force on Climate and Economic Equity and create the City-County Advisory Board on Climate and Economic Equity, formalizing Milwaukee County’s participation and seeking parity with the City of Milwaukee.

Supervisor Anne O'Connor, who authored the resolution, told the committee she had participated in the earlier task force public hearings and sought a clearer, formal role for the county. \"We have added, participation of a county youth commissioner because the city has that. So we're just looking for equal participation from both governmental entities,\" O'Connor said during committee discussion.

The draft was amended before the final vote to strengthen language and add county representation—specifically a county youth commissioner and county Office of Sustainability participation—so the county and city would have matching seats on the advisory board. The amendment was adopted on a committee roll call, 5 ayes, 0 nos. After public comment, the committee recommended adoption of the amended resolution by a 4-1 vote.

Why it matters: supporters said a joint advisory board will improve coordination on climate goals and help Milwaukee County and the city pursue regional funding opportunities. Public speakers including former task force members and representatives of civic groups urged county participation and thanked the board for the amendment. Linda Frank, a former task force member now on the advisory board, said she supports \"active participation by the county in this process.\" Kat Claus, Climate Action Policy Coordinator for Citizen Action Wisconsin, said regional collaboration can strengthen access to federal and state funding, including programs prioritizing regional partnerships in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Details of the debate and public comment: O'Connor said confusion about the county’s role stemmed from turnover among elected officials and staff changes in the sustainability department, which left the county without a formal resolution enabling participation. Grant Helley, director of the Office of Sustainability, told the committee the office is \"a supportive partner\" and looked forward to collaborating with the advisory board. Public commenters representing Our Future Milwaukee Coalition, the League of Women Voters of Milwaukee County, Citizen Action Wisconsin and the American Lung Association in Wisconsin emphasized public engagement, equity, and health benefits tied to climate action.

Votes and procedure: The committee first adopted an amendment to the resolution (motion recorded on the public record) on a 5-0 roll call. The committee then voted to recommend adoption of the resolution as amended, 4 ayes, 1 no. Roll-call statements on the record show the motion to recommend adoption passed with votes recorded as: \"Supervisor Gomez Tom: Aye; Logston: Aye; Shea: Aye; Capriollo: Aye; Mr. Chairman: No.\" The amendment vote was recorded as 5 ayes, 0 nos (Gomez Tom, Logston, Shea, Capriollo and the chair all voting aye). The committee’s action was recorded as a recommendation for adoption; the item will be forwarded following committee procedure for full-board consideration.

What was added by the amendment: committee discussion and public comment identified two specific changes incorporated in the amendment: 1) explicit inclusion of a county youth commissioner seat to match the city’s youth representation, and 2) inclusion of the county Office of Sustainability among participating county staff. Supporters said those additions were intended to ensure parity with the city and improved public engagement across Milwaukee County, including suburban areas.

Context and next steps: Proponents said formal county participation will help coordinate climate and equity work across municipal boundaries, improve public access to planning processes, and strengthen grant applications. The committee record shows administrative staff as supportive and a public record of letters submitted for the file. The committee’s recommendation sends the amended resolution forward for further action under the county board’s legislative process.","A Milwaukee County committee recommended adoption of a resolution to dissolve the City-County Task Force on Climate and Economic Equity and create a City-County Advisory Board, adding county representation including a youth commissioner and Office of Sustainability participation; the measure passed committee 4-1 after public comment and an earlier ","actionData","errors"]
