Carter, Richard Diaz and Pam Fendt, along with Dessie Levy, joined in the request, according to Lanier\u2019s letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis request is intended to help restore lawful governance, regular elections, proper public process, and public confidence in an institution that remains important to Milwaukee residents and to the broader anti-poverty infrastructure of the community,\u201d wrote Lanier in the letter to Goyke.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jorge Franco, interim CEO and board chair of SDC, wrote in a response to the email thread that he was disappointed to see Lanier\u2019s communication without vetting from the full board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll of the SDC commissioners support good corporate governance practices,\u201d he said. \u201cBut our immediate duty is to confront financial reality and determine the best legally viable path forward, which may be reorganization or some type of liquidation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He has previously said that SDC remains fully in compliance with its bylaws and other regulations as it works with limited staff and resources to address the agency\u2019s crisis. Franco said SDC will prioritize items like processing its recorded meeting minutes and holding elections once the agency is appropriately funded and has the staff to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dealing with debt<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lanier\u2019s request comes after the same group of commissioners called an emergency meeting on May 19 that didn\u2019t meet quorum but stirred up discussion over governance issues and the attendance of one commissioner. Two days later, the<strong> <\/strong>full Social Development Commission\u2019s board met and spent most of the meeting on May 21 in closed session.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFormulating a go-forward strategy in view of its insolvency, that\u2019s really what we\u2019re focused on,\u201d said Franco after the board meeting held at Milwaukee Public Schools Central Services, 5225 W. Vliet St., on May 21.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For decades, the anti-poverty agency provided services that included tax assistance, weatherization, child care and job training before closing two years ago. Since then, the board has continued to meet to address SDC\u2019s loss of funding, lawsuits and debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March, Franco said SDC had $2.4 million in outstanding debt with adjustments pending and was considering talking with creditors, restructuring or filing for bankruptcy to address its challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI remain committed to SDC paying every dollar it owes to whomever it owes, and to collecting every dollar owed to SDC,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Levy attended, not counted in roll call<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Levy, who was appointed to serve on the SDC board by the Greater Milwaukee Committee last year, attended both meetings but was not counted in the roll call on May 21.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Franco notified her earlier last week that she was removed from the board for exceeding the board\u2019s policy for unexcused absences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Levy and some commissioners <a href=\"https:\/\/milwaukeenns.org\/2026\/05\/20\/group-of-sdc-commissioners-criticize-board-governance\/\">disagree with her removal<\/a> and the circumstances surrounding it,<strong> <\/strong>while Franco said he is following a legal interpretation of the agency\u2019s bylaws<strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he had no problem with Levy staying for the board\u2019s closed session.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;m just<strong> <\/strong>going to<strong> <\/strong>continue to serve as the (Greater Milwaukee Committee) wants me to serve,\u201d Levy said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Franco said the bylaws and legal interpretation were shared with the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and SDC asked for a new commissioner to be appointed with expertise in reimbursement grant funding. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201c<\/strong>They know SDC&#8217;s position on that appointment,\u201d Franco said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heather Pechacek, communications and membership director for the Greater Milwaukee Committee, sent a statement from Cristy Garcia-Thomas, interim president, saying the committee is reviewing the SDC bylaws to better understand how the decision was made.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUntil we have a clear understanding of the circumstances, we support Dr. Levy and believe she should remain a commissioner on the board,\u201d said Garcia-Thomas. \u201cAt this time, we have no interest in appointing another commissioner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Greater Milwaukee Committee is a private sector civic organization that focuses on finances, education, public safety, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lawsuits progressing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Franco said he gave the board an update on a lawsuit from TriShulla LLC and is now waiting to hear back from the information technology firm. A hearing for <a href=\"https:\/\/milwaukeenns.org\/2026\/04\/26\/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-sdcs-lawsuits-and-former-buildings\/\">partial summary judgment<\/a> is scheduled to take place on June 1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The firm claims SDC owes about $472,000 in outstanding payments for software platform creation and other services it was contracted to provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Franco said he has not been briefed on a separate lawsuit filed against SDC by the former owner of its West Allis office, 20 Volga 9004 Lincoln LLC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company claims SDC owes months of unpaid rent and previously filed a lawsuit that was dismissed. Now, 20 Volga 9004 Lincoln has requested the judge make a default judgment because SDC has not responded to the summons and complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SDC\u2019s next board meeting is <a href=\"https:\/\/cr-sdc.org\/\">scheduled<\/a> for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Meredith Melland is the neighborhoods reporter for the Milwaukee Neighborhood News Service and a corps member of <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reportforamerica.org\/\"><em>Report for America<\/em><\/a><em>, a national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on under-covered issues and communities.
