Title
Resolution relating to acceptance and funding of Wisconsin Arts Board 2012 and 2013 Regranting Program Grants.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Department of City Development (Milwaukee Arts Board) to accept and fund 2012 and 2013 Regranting Program Grants 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 these grant and aid programs 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 these Grant programs from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 and from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 will total approximately $140,000, of which $70,000 or 50 percent will be provided by the Grantor; and
Whereas, The Local Share of these Grant programs, $70,000 or 50 percent, will be provided from the following sources:
In-Kind City Share Total: $70,000
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 these Grant programs appear to exceed the City's share of costs and other obligations to be incurred under these programs; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that acceptance of said Grants from the Wisconsin Arts Board under the terms specified above, to be administered by the Department of City Development (Milwaukee Arts Board), are authorized without further approval unless the terms of the grants change as indicated in Section 304-81, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances; and, be it
