Provides adequate and reliable revenue growth for the efficient long-term planning and execution of state and local transportation programs; 2. Includes responsible and prudent use of General Purpose Revenue and bonding; 3. Adjusts any new and existing transportation user fees and other revenue mechanisms to sustain purchasing power in order to maintain and improve Wisconsin’s transportation infrastructure; and 4. Ensures transportation continues to deliver for Wisconsin by adequately funding reconstruction, preservation, and safety investments on the state and local systems. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the clerk is hereby directed to transmit a copy of this resolution to the Governor’s office, all members of the Wisconsin State Senate and Assembly representing districts within Jefferson County, City of Waterloo, and the League of Wisconsin Municipalities.

IN THE CITY OF WATERLOO WHEREAS, the City has received a request to abandon (vacate) a certain portion of public right-of-way described herein (City owned property cutting between 318 E Polk St.to 255 Jefferson St); and WHEREAS, said portion of the public right-of-way is no longer needed for public purposes and it is in the best interest of the City to vacate and dispose of this portion; and Now therefore, pursuant to notice published as required by law and a public hearing during Council, held on the matter, the City Council finds that the vacation of the right-of-way will not inconvenience the public and is necessary and proper for the orderly development of the City.
