Dupies named VP of community relations for Milwaukee Bucks MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks announced Monday that Alicia Dupies is the orga- nization's new vice presi- dent of community rela- tions. She has more than 20 years of experience in project development and community affairs. Dupies will also serve as the managing director of the new Bucks Foundation, which will be launched later this fall. "From the day we came on board our ownership group has been com- mitted not just to putting a champi- onship-caliber team on the court, but to assembling a world-class staff that is committed to Milwaukee and will make a difference in our com- munity," Bucks President Peter Feigin said in a statement. "We're so thrilled to wel- come her to our talented leadership group." Previously, Dupies worked as the director of project development for Mortenson Construction. Also on Monday, it was announced that John Steinmiller, Bucks execu- tive vice president of com- munity affairs and social responsibility, will transi- tion to a new role as the team's exec- utive vice president of operations, where he will oversee the team's business operations relating to the transition from the BMO Harris Bradley Center to a new facility in the coming years. www.nba.com/bucks Dupies "We have to make deci- sions," Barrett said. "At its core, we're looking to budg- et for the residents of this city." Barrett also has indicat- ed he aims to continue put- ting financial muscle into his 2-year-old Strong Neighborhoods Plan that is aimed at addressing blight and boosting revitalization efforts in residential corri- dors throughout the city. The city's Police Department, which has 1,800 sworn officers, histori- cally receives the lion's share of the city's operating budget. The department is due for several capital upgrades in 2016, Barrett said, includ- ing new software and hard- ware aimed at improving record-keeping functions. The city also is planning to replace 25 squad cars at a cost of $1.44 million. In its current state, Barrett's draft version of the budget also calls for trimming the amount of money allocated for infra- structure improvements. This year, the city allot- ted $83.6 million to improve such infrastructure as streets, bridges, lighting, water mains and the sani- tary sewer system. In 2016, Barrett is asking to have $78.6 million set aside for the purpose. Barrett and Mark Nicolini, the city's budget and management director, gave a presentation Aug. 19 on the budget building process thus far. Public com- ment was taken after the meeting. While the city is grap- pling with shrinking rev- enue from the state, Nicolini did shed one piece of good news: The city's tax base has increased $600 million through a series of redevel- opment efforts in different sections of the city. "We've actually sur- passed our brothers and sis- ters out in Waukesha County, so we're proud of that," Nicolini said. The city's pension sys- tem also remains strong, Nicolini said, and is 97.2 per- cent vested at the moment. In nearby Chicago, Nicolini said the city's various pen- sion programs have far dif- ferent funding pictures, ranging from 23.1 percent to 65.7 percent vesting. During the public hear- ing portion of the meeting, resident Mary Glass asked how Barrett's streetcar plan fits into the 2016 municipal budget. "There is not a major amount of money toward that right now," Barrett said in response. "We're in the process of getting quotes for the fleet of cars." Post Staff MILWAUKEE — A review of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee's bankruptcy set- tlement is scheduled Novem- ber after the reorganization plan was formally filed Monday. Church officials are "hopeful this is approved by the judge," archdiocese spokesman Jerry Topczewski told the media. Under the plan, more than 300 clergy abuse survivors will share $21 million. The archdiocese has proposed that about $11 million come from insurance settlements. The remaining amount would come from voluntary financial arrangements with the Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust and various other sources, under a plan pro- posed earlier this month. Protection of the $55 mil- lion cemetery trust original- ly received criticism from some, but the trust agreed to provide $8 million to settle all pending litigation while retaining resources to pro- vide perpetual care for the archdiocese's nine cemeter- ies. The archdiocese filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy pro- tection in 2011. Archdiocese files for reorganization Budget: Police at front of line; less proposed for infrastructure continued from Page 1 File photo In February, Mayor Tom Barrett signs the ordinance making the streetcar law. There isn't a major amount for the streetcar in the 2016 budget, Barrett said at a public hearing last week. The proj- ect is expected to cost about $124 million in city funding, with the first phase scheduled to be running in 2018.
