Analysis
This substitute resolution authorizes the City of Milwaukee Departments and sub-recipients to accept, expend and if necessary carryover rebates and incentives received as a result of expenditures of grant funds. The rebates and incentives will allow the departments to carry out additional program activities.
BODY:
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee and sub-recipients appear to be eligible to receive rebates and incentives from Focus on Energy, We Energies, and other programs as a result of expenditures of grant funds on energy efficiency and conservation activities; and
Whereas, Federal grant regulations require that rebates and incentives accruing to grantees as a result of expenditures of grant funds be treated as applicable credits and otherwise be used to defray program costs and; the rebates are to be expended first before requesting additional draw down of grant funds; and
Whereas, awarding agencies authorize recipients and sub-recipients of grant funds to use rebate and incentive dollars for more program related activities; now, Therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the departments be authorized to receive, expend and if necessary carryover rebates and incentives generated from grant activities as authorized by the grant; and in accordance with federal regulations; and be it
Further Resolved, That the City of Milwaukee departments are authorized and directed to expend rebates and incentives received first before any additional draw down of grant funds; and comply with any applicable reporting requirements:
