Body
Whereas, Common Council File Number 000195 was adopted on May 8, 2000 and approved the acceptance and funding of the Nonpoint Source Pollution Abatement Nonpoint Grant; and
Whereas, The estimated total cost of this project is $112,000 of which $56,000 (50%) would be grant funded and $56,000 (50%) would be Historic Third Ward Association match; and
Whereas, There was no local out-of-pocket City share required to receive the grant; and
Whereas, Under the terms of Section 144.25 of the Wisconsin Statutes and Chapter NR 120.08 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, the City of Milwaukee is eligible for additional grant funds from the Department of Natural Resources for the Nonpoint Source Water Pollution Abatement Nonpoint Source Grant; and
