ANLS:
- Analysis -
This resolution recognizes the importance of the UPAF/Visions campaign and encourages support by City of Milwaukee employees. It also authorizes the inclusion of the Milwaukee Arts Board as a participating Visions organization/eligible donation recipient in the City of Milwaukee's 2000 United Performing Arts Fund/Vision campaign.
BODY:
Whereas, The annual United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF)/ Visions campaign offers City of Milwaukee employees an opportunity to provide financial support to local arts groups and educational, cultural, environmental and recreational programs; and
Whereas, In 1999 UPAF gifts supported 21 local arts groups, while City employes could designate their Visions donations for support of one or more of the following: Milwaukee Public Library; Pabst Theater; Milwaukee Recreation Fund; Milwaukee Urban Forestry Fund; Milwaukee Arts Museum; and the Milwaukee Public Museum; and
Whereas, Like the Milwaukee Public Library, Milwaukee Art Museum and other 1999 Visions participants, the Milwaukee Arts Board offers artistic enrichment to all citizens of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, Additional non-tax funds are needed to supplement the property tax monies that support the Milwaukee Arts Board and its contribution to Milwaukee's quality of life; and
Whereas, The Milwaukee Arts Board, a nonprofit organization which provides funds to help purchase works of art for City buildings and public spaces like the Riverwalk, and makes grants to local organizations for art exhibits, performances and festivals in the City desires to be added to the list of organizations participating in the UPAF/Visions Campaign in 2000; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the proper City officials are authorized and directed to take the actions necessary to ensure that the Milwaukee Arts Board is included as a participating Visions organization/donation recipient in the 2000 UPAF/Visions campaign; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee encourages all City employees to support the UPAF/Visions Campaign in its goals of improving the quality of this city's cultural life and environment.
