NEW BUSINESS
Request from Muskego Senior Taxi for Financial Assistance
Dr. Daniel Henry, Mr. Jim Nichols and Mr. Bill Schneider were present on behalf of the
Muskego Senior Taxi. Mr. Schneider stated that the service organization provides
transportation for seniors and the disabled. It began operating in 2008. Most of the
financing comes from donations. Mr. Schneider stated that $22,000 in donations was
received in 2011. The City’s contribution of $5,000 provides additional financial
assistance. Mayor Chiaverotti noted that the fares are reviewed on an annual basis; an
increase would not provide the additional financial assistance that is needed. Mr.
Nichols stated that most of the money they need to operate comes from the County
Community Development Block Grant.
Ald. Soltysiak stated he supports the program. He would like money to be budgeted in
the future. There could potentially be a new category where money would be budgeted
for various community requests. Ald. Borgman moved to contribute $5,000 to the
Muskego Senior Taxi with money to come from TIF Residual funds. Ald.
Schaumberg seconded; motion carried.
