Title
Substitute resolution to repurpose funds related to the Me2 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. After the grant period, the City executed a new Memorandum of Understanding with the Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation granting the City of Milwaukee full control of the program, subject to US Department of Energy rules. Funds that had been expended in support of commercial energy loans through the Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation are no longer needed for that purpose and are available to be reprogrammed by the City of Milwaukee for other eligible purposes. This resolution allows the City of Milwaukee to accept funds $234,129.62 from the Milwaukee Economic Development Corporation and appropriates the funds to eligible energy efficiency programs operated by the Environmental Collaboration Office. This resolution further authorizes the Environmental Collaboration Office to contract with Slipstream Group, Inc. (formerly Wisconsin Energy Conservation Corporation) to implement Me2 customer incentives and outreach.
