The Milwaukee Post

By DAVE FIDLIN Special to The Post MILWAUKEE – With the goal of attain- ing greater compliance, municipal leaders across Milwaukee County are considering a so-called amnesty month for residents who are not following local ordinances on cat and dog licenses. Members of the Intergover nmental Cooperation Council of Milwaukee County, a consortium of the 19 mayors and village presidents, discussed the proposal at their monthly meeting Monday. The amnesty month could be held as soon as July and waive penalty fees associ- ated with not having a dog or cat licensed. Fees for lapsed licenses also could be waived under the proposal. A formal vote on the amnesty month proposal was not taken, but a straw poll revealed all of the ICC members in atten- dance were on board with policy – at least in a conceptual form. For the proposal to be effective, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said the rates for licenses would have to remain nominal. "Otherwise, I just think there could be sticker shock with some of this," he said. A three-person task force has been assembled to look further into the propos- al. Mike West and Ron Hayward, village presidents of Fox Point and West Milwaukee, respectively, are heading the task force. Barrett, or a city representative of his choosing, also is expected to take part of the planning effort. The task force is expected to provide a recommendation on the terms and condi- tions of the amnesty month at the June ICC meeting. In other business this week, the ICC: ■ Paid tribute to former Gov. Patrick J. Lucey, who died May 10 at age 96. River Hills Village President Bob Brunner described Lucey as a "prestigious person." Brunner also proudly pointed out Lucey was a longtime River Hills resident. Oak Creek Mayor Steve Scaffidi lauded Lucey, a two-term governor, for standing true to his convictions. "He was a leader who wasn't afraid to challenge his own party, which is some- thing I admired about him," Scaffidi said. ■ Discussed a proposal to renovate the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission facility at 3839 W. Burnham St. in West Milwaukee. Hayward, who heads a committee over- seeing MADACC, said the 20-year-old facil- ity is in need of upgrades. "They've been struggling with the existing facility," Hayward said of MADACC staff. "It's not very animal friendly." No official action was taken on the upgrades, which could cost upward of $3 million, but further discussion could take place in the months ahead. ■ Heard a presentation on Gen. MacArthur Memorial Week. The Milwaukee County War Memorial Center will be hosting a series of events from June 3 to June 7 to commemorate the influ- ential World War II leader. The five-day event includes a series of lectures, photo exhibits and other events around the theme of patriotism and serv- ice. 2 • Milwaukee County Post • May 16, 2014 volume 20, issue number 20 The Milwaukee County Post (ISSN 1544-1776) is published weekly by Conley Media, Milwaukee County 3397 South Howell Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53207 For all departments call: 414.744.6370 General FAX: 414-375-7070 Classifieds: 800-762-6219 ext. 5005 Classified Fax: 262-334-6252 For display advertising inquires: Daryl Skaradzinski: General Manager - ext. 13 dskaradzinski@conleynet.com For editiorial inquires: Dwayne Butler: Editor - 262-513-2626 dbutler@conleynet.com POSTMASTER: Send address changes to the Milwaukee County Post 3397 S.

Health Tip of the Week Registered Pharmacist Bob Stresing and the Serv-U Team 238335061 Managing Springtime Allergies Try to stay indoors when the pollen count is high; counts usually peak in the morning hours. Keep your windows and doors closed if possible to keep allergens out. Using an air purifier may also be effective in reducing allergens indoors. Change or clean air filters regularly and clean places where pollen can collect. Wash your hair after being outdoors, especially before bedtime, because pollen can collect there. Vacuum twice a week. You may want to wear a mask to avoid breathing in the dust and allergens that vacuuming can kick up. Church Directory Bay View St. Lukes Episcopal Church 3200 S.
