The ball's rolling -- vote or not

South Milwaukee, Erik Brooks, sewage, flood, basement

Take heart South Milwaukeeans whose houses have been afflicted with flood-related basement water and sewage backup.

 

South Milwaukee Alderman Erik Brooks says that even though the Public Works & Public Property Committee adjourned its meeting last night without taking a vote authorizing the city engineer to develop a proposal for a study on the causes and possible remedies/mitigations, that won't keep things from moving forward.

 

"Vote or not," Brooks wrote in an email, "our city engineer is going to get the ball rolling on this and come back to the Public Works Committee with a cost for the study in short order."

 

City Administrator Tamara Mayzik confirmed that by phone this morning, saying that a vote isn't needed to proceed administratively for the city engineer to prepare a study proposal. So there will be no delay in moving forward.

 

Brooks said in his email that he is "fully expecting this issue will come back to the Public Works Committee in time for another meeting ahead of our next scheduled full council meeting on August 17."

 

I'm marking my calendar.
