Regular Council Meeting Minutes 10-19-09 Page 3 FINANCE - Ron Wvnne Mr. Wynne stated that in his Finance Report he mentioned that we had not received our second payment from RITA just yet. We received that on Friday. For the month, our income tax collections were down by $41,000.00 compared to the same period last year. The trend continues as far as employment tax dollars decreasing over what we have experienced historically. Mr. Wynne and Department Heads have met on a regular basis making sure we keep our costs in check. Chief Mohr, Mr. Wynne and Ms. Calta met this morning with Gates Mills at their request. They are looking to renew the EMS Agreement for a three-year period versus the one year we are currently under. We are working through the details to have that in place by the end of the year. POLICE - Chief Dearden There was no report. PARKS & RECREATION - Bill Thomas Mr. Thomas reported that the winter brochure will be finalized on Friday and sent out to our residents the first week of November. ARCHITECT - Ron Dinardo There was nothing to report. HUMAN SERVICES - Eunice Kalina Mrs. Kalina reported that the Senior Flu Shot Program is next Monday morning in this room. Originally the Board of Health had allocated 250 shots. We are down to 150 now because there has been a delay in their getting it. Everyone is concentrating on H1N1. The Board of Health has eliminated some of the smaller programs. We have space now only for 12 more people. Earlier today, Mrs. Kalina had asked Debbie Thomas to put something up on the marquee which she graciously did. Mrs. Kalina will have her take it down because we only have 12 more spots. This has never happened to us before. The representative also said she had talked to Cheryl. Mrs. Kalina does not know if there is a question about getting it for the MIPOD program or not. Mrs. Kalina reported that they have signed up about 250-275 people for the snow removal. Approximately 50 people have opted out. They will get their own contractor. The Village will reimburse them for half of that cost. Also, over the weekend, Meals on Wheels had their craft fair, their annual fundraiser. You will all be very sorry that you did not buy a raffle ticket from Mrs. Kalina, or buy raffle tickets period, because we had five great prizes. Mrs. Kalina sold two of them, one of them to Janice Reale, who won a 42" Toshiba TV. More importantly, Meals on Wheels is in desperate need of volunteers. Most of our volunteers are seniors. Some of them have passed away. A lot of them go south for the winter. We are really in dire straits. If anyone has some extra time, all you need is a two hour a week commitment. We would be happy to
