Initiative 3: Create A New Blueprint for the delivery of County Services
Streamline Milwaukee County government to its primary functions of record-keeping, road maintenance, elections, courts, social services and public safety.
- Spin-off the transit system to the Regional Transit Authority and include the airport.
- Establish a parks and county-owned cultural assets district governed by an independent, elected district board and funded with a dedicated share of property tax.
- Partner with municipalities to merge services where there is overlap (e.g., parks security, snow plowing, etc.). The state would assume additional Health and Human service functions.
- Develop a master plan for County assets. Use the proceeds from the sale or lease of any county assets to pay down pension or other health care liabilities or general obligation debt.
