Title
Dane County Resolution 111, 06-07 - To provide for coordination and cooperation between the City of Madison and Dane County in finding short- and long-term, safe and size-appropriate locations for service providers currently serving Allied Drive
Body
There are a number of important Dane County and City of Madison service providers who currently provide vital human services to the residents of Allied Drive. These providers are currently located in close proximity to these residents, occupying buildings on or very near Allied Drive.
Some of the buildings in which they are currently located may be the subjects of redevelopment or renovation activities that would make them unsuitable for continued occupancy. Additionally, some of these service providers are currently located in unsafe buildings and/or locations.
There is a planning process underway that will attempt to provide a future vision for the redevelopment and restoration of Allied Drive as a vital neighborhood. Dane County has a strong interest in seeing that all the providers they fund are well and strategically located so they can serve their customers. These service providers need to be in a safe location so as to best serve their clients and protect our county worker and so that they are afforded a level of safety and protection commensurate with the expectations for any workplace.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Madison and Dane County hereby create a joint staff team charged with the following tasks:
• Identify all existing service providers who currently serve Allied Drive and their locations.
• Determine if the existing service providers currently need or will need in the future additional space to further serve the community.
• Determine if additional services and providers are needed to serve the growing and revitalizing community.
• Develop an inventory of factors and criteria for both short- and long-term location of all service providers.
• In the context of the neighborhood planning and design meeting, identify locations where each of these service providers can adequately serve their customers while being afforded an environment of safety.
• Consider a longer-term location for service providers compatible with the neighborhood planning and design meeting's physical plan for the neighborhood.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City-County Liaison Committee shall oversee the conduct of the analysis and studies called for in this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any products of these efforts will be shared with the Allied Area Task Force for their comments by December 31, 2006.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the staff team shall be composed of at least one staff member designated by the director of the Dane County Department of Human Services, at least one staff member designated by the director of the Dane County Department of Administration, and at least one staff member designated by the director of the Department of Land and Water Resources and appropriate city staff members, and these staff team members shall have expertise in human services, real estate, and any other related field(s) necessary to accomplish this task.
