Title
Resolution relative to application for, and acceptance and expenditure of, 2007 State of Wisconsin recycling grants.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to apply for, accept and expend, a 2007 State of Wisconsin Recycling Grant. This grant, in the amount of $2,799,000, will be used to fund continuation of the City’s recycling program.

This resolution also authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to apply for, accept and expend, a 2007 State of Wisconsin Recycling Efficiency Grant.
