Review and Recommendation Regarding Submission of Grant Applications for
Park Arthur Development and Muskego Canal Bridge
Mayor Johnson clarified that this is not approval of Park Arthur, but a recommendation
regarding the submission of DNR grant applications. Ald. Werner moved to
recommend approval. Ald. Borgman seconded. Ald. Borgman expressed concern
that the proposed resolution regarding the Park Arthur project states that the Plan
Commission will approve the park’s master plan. He believes because of the size and
expenditure of this development, final approval should be at the Council level. Ald.
Werner agreed, but does not want to circumvent review by the Plan Commission and
Park Board. It was agreed that discussion of the Park Arthur Development would be
placed on the April 8 Common Council agenda, which is after the public informational
meeting. Motion carried.
