Meet The Mayor: County Executive Chris Abele Joins Me On November 15

My next Meet the Mayor session is Saturday, Nov. 15, and I’m proud to announce a special guest will be joining me: Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and here’s another reason to stop by — Mears Online Auctions is hosting the event.

Haven’t been to Mears? You really need to check it out. Mears is located in the old St. Mary’s Hall at 1234 Manitoba Ave., and you’ll be amazed at what owner Troy Kinunen has done with the place. The coolest part — a “mini Cooperstown” (my term) museum that features sports and other collectibles that will blow your mind.

County Executive Abele and I hope to see you there, even if it’s just to check out Troy’s cool space.

Questions, comments, concerns … all are welcome. And thanks to County Executive Abele for being a part of this.

Why I Voted No On The St. Adalbert’s Rezoning

Earlier tonight, the Plan Commission deadlocked on a motion to recommend rezoning of the former St. Adaldert’s property to allow for construction of a 37-unit affordable housing complex there.

The vote was 3-3 to recommend to the city council denial of the request from Gorman & Co. That result will be reported to the council for potential action at a future meeting.

I voted in favor of recommending denial. Here is why …

While I like a lot of things about the project, I don’t like it for that neighborhood. Its impact would be real. At 13.4 units per acre, the density is 42% higher than the surrounding area, even if you include the vacant parcel to the north of Manitoba Avenue. I wasn’t comfortable putting that burden on the neighborhood – especially in one where opposition was so significant. I barely heard a single voice of support for this project in the past month, and that weighed on my mind.

In short, I think it’s best to see what else comes along.

I was impressed with the developer … and hope they consider bringing back a senior housing development. I’d strongly consider such a plan. To me, this would be a good compromise, one with a neighborhood impact significantly less than the current project.

Absent that, I’m willing to wait and see what unfolds for this site. And I look no further than another shuttered Divine Mercy property in South Milwaukee for hope that the wait will one day be worth it: St. Mary’s.

Who would have thought that the St. Mary’s hall and gymnasium would be creatively reused as a successful online auction business, or that the St. Mary’s School would find new life as a funeral home, or that the convent would be senior housing? Who is to say the same can’t happen at St. Adalbert’s? Yes, it’s a different property with unique challenges. And the property may continue to deteriorate as we wait, but that’s where we rely on the owner of the property to live up to their responsibility and keep the buildings to code.

I close with this. In a letter to his parishioners asking for their support of the Gorman apartments, Divine Mercy’s Fr. Robert Betz encouraged the community to show a “welcoming spirit” for all people as part of its “Proud Past, Promising Future” slogan. I couldn’t agree more. That’s why I was dismayed with the reaction of some residents in the debate over this development.

We are who we are when it comes to our demographics, and I’m proud of who we are as a city. It’s also clear there are a significant number of people in South Milwaukee who have incomes suitable to live in the apartments as proposed.

That potentially includes families of more than half of the students in the South Milwaukee School District (50%+ qualify for the free-and-reduced lunch program). And it includes some people in the neighborhood around the proposed development. And some of my own family members. And me at one point in my life not too long ago.

So, yes, there is a need for affordable housing in South Milwaukee. That’s why I would never rule out support for a project like this down the road. Just not at St. Adalbert’s. Not now.

2015 Executive Budget: Investing In South Milwaukee’s Future

The 2015 executive budget will be published this week, and I’m proud to be a part of it for the first time as mayor.

It continues to fund our first-class city services while delivering real savings that we’re reinvesting for the future and using to enhance our work in some key areas, especially economic development.

You can read the proposed budget here. Some highlights …

  • Revenues are proposed to increase 5.2% from the 2014 budget to 9.2 million. This is primarily due to an increase in state transportation aids and due to our treatment of debt service, as we reflect debt service payments our utilities make to the general fund as a revenue to offset the correlating expense.
  • Total expenses are proposed to decrease 0.25% to $18.6 million. Not including debt service, the decrease in expenditures is 4.3%. These savings include significant general fund savings driven by the city’s move to a deductible health plan. The decrease is also driven by the shifting of fire hydrant rental costs from the tax levy to water/sewer bills. This shift counts toward our state-imposed levy limit, so this is not “new money” we can raise through taxation.
  • The tax levy is proposed to decrease 5% to $10 million, due again primarily to the one-time shift in fire hydrant expenses.
  • The city’s net new construction growth from 2013 to 2014 was +.509%. Therefore, the city’s levy can grow by just that amount. The budget meets that limit, which applies to the city’s tax levy, excluding post-2005 debt service payments.

The proposed budget makes significant investments in our people and fills important gaps in the delivery of city services.

Included in the budget are three new part-time positions that are funded predominately by cost savings and shifting of existing funds. All of them are necessary steps to move South Milwaukee forward and better deliver our services, and I’m excited to add them.

  • First, the budget includes funding for someone to lead our economic development efforts. This half-time position would be funded predominantly with money previously appropriated to the Community Development Authority and contributions from our tax incremental financing districts. This will be our go-to person inside City Hall when it comes to attracting and retaining local business, marketing our city and driving our downtown redevelopment efforts.  It’s a position long overdue for South Milwaukee, and I am convinced he or she will pay immediate dividends.
  • We are also recommending the creation of an urban forestry position in the Street Department, to be funded primarily through changes to the self-deposit station hours. In the proposed budget, the station would remain open year-round on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday (our three busiest days).  This has been the schedule for December 1 through March 31 for the last couple of years. The change would free up 16 man-hours that we would use toward coordinating our street tree program — training a person to help us move from being focused on tree removal to creating an actual urban forestry program that includes replanting and other measures aimed at being good stewards of our city’s canopy. 
  • The final position would enhance our human resources capability, by shifting duties inside the administration department and creating a new clerical position for engineering and the mayor.

The budget also includes $30,000 — $15,000 carrying over from 2014 and $15,000 for 2015 – for planning. These are dollars we plan to use to update our comprehensive plan … and take a deep dive into downtown planning. Stay tuned for more information on that.

Also, the budget calls for a 2% salary increase for all employees, in addition to automatic annual increases through seniority-driven steps, for eligible employees. The raise includes our public safety workers. The current fire labor agreement includes a “wage reopener” to be negotiated by the end of 2014. The police agreement — which the council approved earlier this week but still requires police union ratification — includes the 2% increase.

I would like to know what you think of the proposed budget. Post your comments here, or weigh in at one of our upcoming meetings. The budget will officially be published in the NOW newspaper on Oct. 30., with a public hearing on Nov. 24. The city council then meets Nov. 25 to consider adoption of the document.

I also want to thank City Administrator Tami Mayzik, City Clerk Jim Shelenske, and all the department heads for their work in preparing this budget. These are the people, and their teams, who bring these numbers to life, leading the way in delivering our city services. Also, thank you to Finance Committee Chairman Ald. Joe Bukowski and Vice Chairman Ald. Pat Stoner for their work in producing this document and providing strong oversight of this process.

My pledge: To continue to be a responsible steward of your money, while finding ways to invest in our city services and build a stronger South Milwaukee. This executive budget is a good start — a real step toward South Milwaukee’s promising future.

Rockets Season Ends With Loss To Waterford

For the second straight season, the South Milwaukee football team’s season ended with a postseason loss to Waterford.

The sixth-seeded Wolverines, down 14-0 at halftime, dominated the second half en route to a 21-14 victory over the third-seeded Rockets in the first round of the WIAA playoffs Friday night at Spaltholz Field. Here is a game summary.

While the end was disappointing, the Rockets had another strong season. South Milwaukee began the season 8-0 and took home its third straight Woodland Conference East title. The team scored some big wins — including a homecoming shutout of Cudahy and a Woodland crossover win at Pewaukee — and some terrific individual seasons, with quarterback Justin Oliden, running back Ian Pribyl and receiver Mitchell Dess putting up big numbers.

I already can’t wait for 2015!

Here is Racine Journal Times coverage of the game. TMJ4 also had a few highlights.

Council Roundup: Potential New Police Labor Deal And More

News and notes from Tuesday’s meeting, in addition to the South Milwaukee Pink Day activities …

  • Police deal. The council voted to approve a new three-year labor agreement with the South Milwaukee Professional Police Association Local 201. The deal — which would run from Jan. 1, 2015, through Dec. 31, 2017 — includes a 2% pay raise each year over the life of the contract and other minor changes from the current deal. The union still must ratify the deal.
  • Downtown Committee. The council also discussed a proposal to form downtown advisory committee and referred the matter back to the Legislation & Permits Committee to work out more details and draft an ordinance, likely for action at our Nov. 25 meeting. I brought this proposal forward as another opportunity to drive downtown redevelopment. This committee — which I propose to be a mix of business/property owners and residents — would be out front in helping develop our downtown plan while also regularly advising the council, administration and others on issues related to our city center. More to come soon on this, the downtown plan and the hiring of an economic development to assist in all of this … and stay tuned for opportunities for you to get involved! I’m excited about where we’re headed in downtown South Milwaukee. I hope you are too.
  • New police captain. I want to congratulate Peter Jaske, who has been named a new South Milwaukee police captain by the Police and Fire Commission. The council recognized the promotion Tuesday night. Jaske, who previously was a lieutenant, replaces Terry Olson, who has retired.
  • Eagle Scout. We honored another Eagle Scout, Joel Dereszynski. I congratulate this fellow (soon to be) St. Thomas More graduate and am happy to recognize his accomplishments. Here is the proclamation we gave Joel.

The council next meets Nov. 25 to consider the 2015 budget. The budget will be published next week — look for a post on the budget in coming days — with a public hearing scheduled for Nov. 24.

ROCKET FOOTBALL

The Rockets fell last Friday to Greendale 42-7 to go to 8-1 on the season. The Rockets showed they were right there with the Panthers through the first half of the game, but a couple of plays made the difference in the second half against the #1 ranked team in the state as the Panthers broke it open. With that loss the Rockets ended up earning the #3 seed in their D2 bracket and a home game this Friday at 7:00pm at Spaltholz Field against the #6 seed Waterford (6-3 regular season record). Please come out and support the Rockets in their first playoff game. There isn’t a team in Division 2 that they cannot beat! Let’s hear that support loud and strong on Friday!
