Title
Substitute resolution modifying the policy for the acceptance of grants for additional law enforcement services from tax exempt public or quasi-public entities and relative to application, acceptance and funding of a UWM Grant (Police Department), and approving a Law Enforcement Services Grant Agreement with the University of Wisconsin System.

The grant is for the not-to-exceed amount of $4,400 and the agreement will terminate prior to May 15, 2003 if that amount is exhausted.
