Title
Substitute resolution amending agreements for the administration of the Milwaukee Energy Efficiency program.

Analysis
In 2010, the Cities of Milwaukee, Madison, and Racine partnered with the Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation and received grant funds from the US Department of Energy to facilitate energy efficiency improvements in residential and commercial buildings. In the original agreement, the Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation was the Prime Recipient of these grant funds, with the respective cities acting as Sub-recipients. In the City of Milwaukee, these grant funds launched and supported the Milwaukee Energy Efficiency program, or Me2. The term of the grant and the City’s associated contract with the Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation is scheduled to end November 1, 2014. At that time, all of the City of Milwaukee’s grant funds will have been expended, with the exception of approximately $200,000 in funds that remain at Summit Credit Union as a loan loss reserve to support past and new Me2 consumer loans. The US Department of Energy allows and intends grant funds to operate indefinitely to support the program going forward. This resolution establishes the relationships of the parties going forward, with the City of Milwaukee acting as the Administrator of the program in the post grant period. In the post grant period, the Cities of Milwaukee and Madison will continue to operate their respective loan programs. The City of Milwaukee Department of Administration will collect reports from the City of Madison and submit a single annual report to the US Department of Energy to report on both programs.
