Resolution relating to acceptance and funding of a Wisconsin Arts Board Regranting Program Grant. (DCD)
ANLS:
- 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 would appear that City involvement in this grant and aid program would 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, 1998 to June 30, 1999 would cost approximately $45,630, of which $22,815 or 50 percent would be provided by the Grantor; and
Whereas, The local share of this Grant program, $22,815 or 50 percent, can be provided from the following sources:
In-Kind City Share: $22,815
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
Further Resolved, That the proper City officials and/or the Commissioner of the Department of City Development are authorized to accept such Grant without further Common Council approval unless any of the following occur:
1. The purpose of such Grant program is significantly changed.
2. The amount of the Out-of-Pocket City Share increases from the amount specified above.
3. The ratio of Out-of-Pocket City Share to Grantor's Share increases from that specified above; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Comptroller is directed to reserve (encumber) in the parent accounts of the 1998 Special Revenue Accounts-Grant and Aid Projects, the following amounts for the program entitled "Wisconsin Arts Board Regranting Program":
Account No. 15-010-0100 Account - Grantor Share Amount - $22,815
Account No. 15-010-0101 Account - In-Kind City Share Amount - $22,815
Account No. 15-010-0102 Out-of-Pocket City Share $ -0- (Current Levy)
; and, be it
Further Resolved, That upon acceptance of this Grant Agreement, the City Comptroller is authorized to create a Special Revenue Fund-Grant and Aid Projects, the necessary accounts for this program (Expenditure and Revenue), and appropriate to these accounts, the amount required under the Grant Agreement and City Accounting Policy, but not to exceed a 10 percent increase in those amounts reserved for the Grantor's Share and In-Kind City Share and transfer the corresponding offsetting estimated revenue; and, be it
Further Resolved, That these funds are appropriated to the Department of City Development; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the funds received from the Wisconsin Arts Board be deposited in accordance with procedures established by the City Comptroller; and, be it
Further Resolved, That upon acceptance of this Grant, the City Comptroller is authorized and directed to establish, in accordance with City procedures, the necessary grant-in-kind performance submeasures; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Department of City Development shall have the authority to authorize transfers within the program budget so long as the amount expended for any purpose shall not exceed the amount authorized by the budget by 10 percent and such transfers are in accordance with grantor regulations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Department of City Development, on behalf of the City of Milwaukee, is authorized to enter into subcontracts and leases as detailed in the program budget and in accordance with City purchasing procedures and Grant and Aid Guidelines for awarding such contracts.
