Title
Resolution relating to acceptance and expenditure of a Wisconsin Arts Board 2025 Regranting Program Grant.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Department of City Development, Milwaukee Arts Board, to accept and expend a 2025 Regranting Program Grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board in the amount of $57,000 with a City Share of $28,500 and a Grantor Share of $28,500.
