Dairy Drive
- Tonight, Common Council will be voting on Alder Mayer's resolution to extend the contract with Madison Street Medicine to operate Dairy Drive through April. Alder Field's blog has an excellent write up of the issues and discussion going on around Dairy Drive. As it stands right now, it does not seem like the county is going to contribute any money towards the operation of Dairy Drive. It is possible for Madison Street Medicine to fund Dairy Drive through April using their existing funding, but Alder Mayer would need to introduce a substitute for that to take place.
