Title
Resolution amending Milwaukee Police Department authority to accept contributions from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation for traffic safety equipment, further authorizing acceptance and expenditure of not more than $40,500 additional contributions.
Analysis
Common Council Resolution File # 071321 authorized the Milwaukee Police Department to accept and expend a donation of $9,500 from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF) to purchase traffic safety equipment. This resolution amends File #071321 to provide for acceptance and expenditure of an additional $40,500 from the GMF for these purchases.
Body
Whereas, Section 304-24 of the City of Milwaukee Code of Ordinances regulates the receipt, appropriation and expenditure of contributions received by the City; and
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee was authorized to enter into an agreement with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF) for the establishment of a Police Endowment Fund by resolution at File # 050165, adopted June 14, 2005; and
Whereas, Contributions of traffic safety equipment will assist the Milwaukee Police Department with traffic safety; and
Whereas, It appears that the GMF may offer to contribute amounts up to $40,500 to the Milwaukee Police Department over the next 3 to 5 years for purchase of traffic safety equipment in addition to the $9,500 accepted Common Council Resolution File # 071321, adopted February 5, 2008, for a total of $50,000; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Resolution File # 071321 be amended to authorize the Milwaukee Police Department to accept contributions from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation of not more than $50,000 to be expended toward the purchase of traffic safety equipment; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Comptroller is directed to transfer appropriations and estimated revenue from the Contribution Fund-General, account number 0001-2110-D001-006300, and the estimated revenue account for contributions, account number 0001-2110--0001-009850 to the Police Department’s special account 0001-331-0001-Dxxx-006300, and the Police Department’s estimated revenue account 0001-3310-0001-9850 in amounts not to exceed $50,000 for the costs of traffic safety consistent with the terms of the agreement establishing the Police Endowment Fund of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation by Resolution File # 050165, adopted June 14, 2005 .
