Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes the Mayor, Police Chief and the City Clerk to sign an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Milwaukee (Milwaukee) to provide law enforcement services during the 2020 Democratic National Convention for a 10 day period in July, 2020. Per the terms of the agreement, Milwaukee will reimburse the City for equipment and salary and benefit costs of all Madison Police Department (MPD) officers providing law enforcement services and will provide lodging, transportation and meals for MPD staff. MPD estimates that the reimbursable costs will range between $975,000 and $1,000,000. Milwaukee will not reimburse the City for any administrative costs. MPD estimates these costs, largely related to scheduling and payroll processing, will be $7,000 to $10,000. The Department will make an effort to absorb the unreimbursed expenses within their 2020 operating budget.
