Title
Substitute resolution approving an executive fellows partnership between the City of Milwaukee and FUSE Corps.

Analysis

Through this agreement, the Department of Administration will contribute $25,000 plus use of computers and workspace and FUSE Corps and its philanthropic partners will contribute approximately $335,000.
