Tuesday

The City of Wauwatosa resumes business after a hiatus last week with four regular Common Council committees.

·      Traffic and Safety meets at 7 p.m. to discuss, among other things, a 90-day trial of no parking on State Street just west of 70th Street, where a resident complained that she could not possibly see to leave her driveway for the cars parked along the thoroughfare.

·      The Community Development Committee meets at 8 p.m. and will consider changes proposed by the Economic Development Advisory Committee to do away with certain hearings by the Community Development Committee if they have already been heard by the Plan Commission.

·      The Budget and Finance Committee will decide whether Wauwatosa should take on seven water customers that Milwaukee County has been serving, and whether to pay $25,000 a year to take over the maintenance of a County-owned water tower on the County Grounds to serve them.
