MILWAUKEE METROPOLITAN SEWERGE DISTRICT
WHEREAS, this Common Council adopted Resolution No. 74-87 on
April 28, 1987 approving the STORMWATER DRAINAGE AND FLOOD
CONTROL POLICY PLAN FOR THE kfILWAUKEE METROPOLITAN SEWERAGE
DISTRICT (C
S8
ommunitv Assistance Plannine Reoort No. 130 of the - outheastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission) (the "Policy u - .. I Plan") ; and
WHEREAS, said approval was made expressly contingent upon the
appointment of not less than three (3) representatives of that
portion of the study area not presently located within the
boundaries of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD)
to the Advisory Committee on Stormwater Drainage and Flood
Control Planning; and
WHEREAS, the MMSD has refused to make said appointments; and
WHEREAS, the City of Muskego recognizes the need for and supports
the development of a Stormwater Drainage and Flood Control Plan
for the area but has serious concerns about the implementation
program that will be developed under this plan and the impact of
this program on the City of Muskego.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City
of Muskego that the contingent approval given to the Policy Plan
under Resolution No. 74-87 is hereby withdrawn.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, however, that as set forth in Resolution
No. 74-87, the City of Muskego calls upon the MMSD and the
Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission to addess in
a straight-forward basis the concerns of the City of Muskego
that:
0
- the forthcoming implementation plan must recognize that
sanitary sewer service and storm drainage are separate
issues, and any assumption that drainage and flood
control costs can be distributed on the same basis as
sanitary sewer service costs is questionable;
- the costs of implementation of the Policy Plan be
distributed on a fair and equitable basis to - all
communities in the drainage area;
0
- inclusion within the MMSD boundaries as a criteria for
project eligibility is inappropriate and, in fact,
unrelated to the proper implementation of the Policy
Plan ;
Page TWO
Resolution #263-87
- the implementation plan could result in broadening the
jurisdiction of the MMSD, the DNR, or other agencies over
matters now under the jurisdiction and control of the
City of Muskego.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be sent to
District and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning
the appropriate officials at the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage
Commission.
