Is the Tenney Park Ice Rink Open?

Co-op Conversion Proposed for N. Franklin Street Home

Madison Community Cooperative has submitted a Conditional Use application to the city for the conversation of a 3-flat house at 19 N. Hancock Street into a housing cooperative. A Conditional Use Permit is required partially because they plan to increase the number of bedrooms from the current 9 to 11. They also propose building renovations, including a ramp in the front for accessibility purposes, 2 small dormers added to the side roofs, 2 parking stalls in the rear, and bike parking.

Property owners and residents living within 200' of the site will receive postcard notification of the public hearing that is scheduled to occur at the Jan. 27 Plan Commission meeting when the Conditional Use Application will be considered. Meeting details will be listed in my alder updates prior to that week, but if you have input on the proposed conversion, feel free to contact me and/or provide public or written testimony at the Plan Commission meeting.

Redevelopment Proposed for 400 Block of E. Washington

LZ Ventures is proposing to demolish the Klinke Cleaners building, a house, an apartment building, and a single-story commercial building, all between 402 and 414 E. Washington, as well as three houses at 9 N. Hancock, 8 N. Franklin, and 12 Franklin. The developer proposes a 10-story market rate apartment building on E. Washington dropping to 8 stories in the rear with several levels of parking underneath. A commercial space is planned on E. Washington on the first floor.

 

District 6 Alder Marsha Rummel and I are hosting a Jan. 30 neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposal. Please email me if you have input and/or are willing to join a neighborhood steering committee that will form after the neighborhood meeting.

Finance Committee: Agenda

4:30pm, Monday, Jan. 13, 2020

Rm 215 Madison Municipal Building

ITEMS TO BE CONSIDERED

 

Agenda Item 2

Recreating 24 0.3 FTE Transit Operator positions into 7 1.0 FTE Transit Operator positions in order to more effectively provide service with less overtime.

 

Agenda Item 3

Submitting the appointment of Matthew B. Mikolajewski for confirmation of a five-year term as the Economic Development Division Director.

 

Agenda Item 6

Authorizing the provision of $50,000 to continue Kiva Madison by supporting the staffing and administrative costs for the Kiva Madison Lead Position, which is based at the Wisconsin Women's Businesses Initiative Corporation (WWBIC). Kiva Madison provides zero interest loans that help to make entrepreneurship more inclusive to women, people of color, immigrants, veterans, and lower income entrepreneurs and business owners.

 

Agenda Item 7

A Resolution to authorize the noncompetitive purchase of goods from Election Systems & Software, LLC ("ESS") as a sole source provider of Voting Equipment for the City of Madison Clerk.

 

Agenda Item 8

Authorizing the noncompetitive purchase of more than $25,000 in goods from SiteOne Landscape Supply Holding LLC as a sole source provider of chemicals and supplies to be used for EAB mitigation in 2020.

 

Agenda Item 19

Creating Section 12.177(5) of the Madison General Ordinances to conditionally repeal the Motor Vehicle Registration Fee if funding is provided by a Regional Transit Authority.

Note: Transportation Policy and Planning Board recommendation is to place on file

I agree with TPPB's recommendation. There is effectively no chance that an RTA will be formed until the state legislature's composition changes drastically. Even if an RTA was more possible, I don't believe that we can forecast the city's financial position accurately enough to justify hamstringing our ability to manage our revenue sources in the future.

 

Agenda Item 20

Public Market Financing Update

 

CLOSED SESSION

Agenda Item 21

When the Finance Committee considers the following matter, it may go into closed session pursuant to sec. 19.85(1)(e), Wis. Stats., which reads as follows: Deliberating or negotiating the purchasing of public properties, the investing of public funds, or conducting other specified public business, whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session. If the Finance Committee does go into closed session, notice is hereby given pursuant to sec. 19.85(2), Wis.
