Title
Resolution relating to acceptance and funding of a Wisconsin Arts Board Regranting Program Grant.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Department of City Development (Milwaukee Arts Board) to accept and fund a Regranting Program Grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board. Grant funding will be used to award grants to Milwaukee art organizations or neighborhood-based organizations that conduct art programming.
Body
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee (“City”) appears to be eligible for grant funds from the Wisconsin Arts Board (“Grantor”) for art programming; and
Whereas, It appears that City involvement in this grant and aid program will result in a major benefit to the City by awarding grants to Milwaukee art organizations or neighborhood-based organizations that conduct art programming; and
Whereas, The Department of Administration, Intergovernmental Relations Division, has determined that operation of this Grant program from June 30, 2007 to May 31, 2008 will cost approximately $70,000, of which $35,000 or 50 percent will be provided by the Grantor; and
Whereas, The Local Share of this Grant program, $35,000 or 50 percent, will be provided from the following sources:
In-Kind City Share: $35,000
Out-of-Pocket City Share: $-0-
Local, Non-City Share: $-0-
; and
Whereas, The Department of Administration, Intergovernmental Relations Division, has determined that the benefits to the City from this Grant program appear to exceed the City's share of costs and other obligations to be incurred under this program; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that acceptance of said Grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board under the terms specified above, to be administered by the Department of City Development (Milwaukee Arts Board), is authorized; and, be it
