Title
Resolution reserving contingent borrowing in the 2004 Budget in an amount not to exceed $13,500,000 for financing the cost of relocating Department of Public Works facilities.
Analysis
This resolution reserves contingent borrowing authority in the 2004 Budget in an amount not to exceed $13,500,000 to finance the cost of relocating DPW's Traser Yard and other facilities. This amount represents the balance of the estimated cost of the relocation project of $24,000,000, minus the $10,500,000 authorized in the 2004 Budget.
Body
Whereas, The Common Council has approved the relocation of Department of Public Works' Traser Yard and other facilities to a site located near 35th St. and Vienna Ave. (the "Project"); and
Whereas, The Project is estimated to cost $24,000,000, and the Common Council has previously approved expenditures of $10,500,000 towards the Project; and
Whereas, The 2004 Budget authorizes $30,000,000 of borrowing for contingent borrowing purposes, of which $2,000,000 has been previously used; and
Whereas, The Common Council is desirous of reserving 2004 contingent borrowing authority for issuing and selling promissory notes pursuant to sec. 67.12(12), Stats., for the purpose of financing a portion of the cost of relocating Department of Public Works facilities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that it hereby and herewith authorizes and declares its purpose to reserve 2004 contingent borrowing authority in an amount not to exceed $13,500,000 for the purposes of financing a portion of the cost of relocating Department of Public Works facilities.
