Body
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee ("City") appears to be eligible for grant funds from the United States Department of the Interior through the State Historical Society of Wisconsin for a Certified Local Government Grant; and
Whereas, It appears that City involvement in this grant and aid program, and more specifically in a grant and aid project involving Milwaukee's Sherman Park Community Association, will result in the following major benefit to the City: the completion of a National Register Nomination for Designation of 207 structures within the boundaries of the Local Sherman Boulevard Historic District running from West Lloyd Street to North Fond du Lac Avenue; and
Whereas, The Department of Administration, Intergovernmental Relations Division, has determined that operation of this Grant program from February 1, 2002 to July 31, 2003 will cost approximately $4,250, of which 100 percent will be provided by the Grantor; and
Whereas, The In-Kind City Share of this Grant program will be zero:
In-Kind City Share: $-0-
Out-of-Pocket City Share: $-0-
Local, Non-City Share: $-0-
; and
