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, The Department of Administration, Intergovernmental Relations Division, has determined that operation of this Grant program from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004 will cost approximately $44,148, of which $22,074 or 50 percent will be provided by the Grantor; and
Whereas, The Local Share of this Grant program, $22,074 or 50 percent, will be provided from the following sources:
In-Kind City Share: $22,074
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
