Title
Resolution authorizing the Milwaukee Police Department to purchase a mobile command post for the purpose of securing the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Milwaukee Police Department to purchase a mobile command post for the purpose of securing the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Body
Whereas, The Common Council adopted File Number 220058, a resolution approving the framework agreement (“Framework Agreement”) between the City of Milwaukee, the Host Committee, and the Republican National Committee (“RNC”) relating to the hosting of the 2024 Republic National Convention (“Convention”); and

Whereas, Under the terms of the Framework Agreement, the City is required to, among other things, provide security services as necessary for the Convention in cooperation with the RNC, federal agencies such as the Secret Service and other law enforcement and firefighting agencies; and

Whereas, a Federal Security Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice is expected to cover the costs of the security needed for the Convention; and

Whereas, The City expects one condition of the Federal Security Grant to require the Common Council to approve the purchase of certain equipment including “Command and/or Control Vehicles”; and

Whereas, The Milwaukee Police Department requires the purchase of a new mobile command post vehicle with modern technological capabilities to properly integrate with assisting police jurisdictions, as well as with partner federal agencies during the 2024 Republican National Convention; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Milwaukee Police Department is authorized to purchase a mobile command post vehicle for the purpose of securing the 2024 Republican National Convention.
