This resolution increases the amount of the State of Wisconsin Basic Recycling Grant that the Department of Public Works is authorized to accept and expend from $2,799,000 to $3,535,679.24. It also increases the amount of the State of Wisconsin Recycling Efficiency Incentive Grant that the Department of Public Works is authorized to accept and expend from $226,850.00 to $381,399.11.

Body
Whereas, On September 25, 2007, the Common Council adopted File Number 070612, a resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to apply for, accept and expend a 2008 State of Wisconsin Basic Recycling Grant in the anticipated amount of $2,799,000; and
Whereas, Adopted File Number 070612 also authorized the Commissioner of Public Works to apply for, accept and expend a State of Wisconsin Recycling Efficiency Incentive Grant in the anticipated amount of $226,850.00; and
Whereas, The Wisconsin State Legislature increased the municipal and county recycling grant appropriation by $6,500,000 annually, effectively raising the state reimbursement rate of eligible recycling costs and resulting in an actual 2008 State of Wisconsin Basic Recycling Grant award to the City of Milwaukee in the amount of $3,535,679.24; and
Whereas, In recognition of the efficiency of the City’s recycling program, the State of Wisconsin has actually awarded the City a Recycling Efficiency Incentive grant in the amount of $381,399.11; and
Whereas, Pursuant to s. 304-81-5-c-4 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances, whenever a grant amount exceeds the originally specified amount by more than 10%, the administering department is required to prepare an amendment to the original resolution prior to execution of the grant award; and
Whereas, The actual amount of the Basic Recycling Grant awarded to the City exceeds the originally anticipated amount of $2,799,000.00 by more than 10%; and
Whereas, The actual amount of the Recycling Efficiency Incentive Grant awarded to the City exceeds the originally anticipated amount of $226,850.00 by more than 10%; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the first “Further Resolved” clause of Common Council File Number 070612 is amended by changing the Basic Recycling Grant amount from $2,799,000.00 to $3,535,679.24; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the fifth “Further Resolved” clause of Common Council File Number 070612 is amended by changing the Recycling Efficiency Incentive Grant amount from $226,850.00 to $381,399.11; and, be it
