We are seeing Greater Cleveland Partnership come together. There <br />are just so many organizations now within the City of Cleveland both in government and non- <br />profit areas and private sectors that recognize that the resurgence in Cleveland in general <br />depends alot on how we develop and redevelop our public spaces. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, any other questions or comments? There were none. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None <br />Motion Carried . <br />Expenditure Approved <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, any questions? There were none. <br />Roll Ca11: AYES: Buckholtz, Cinco, Mills, Motion Carried <br />Parker, Delguyd, Marrie Bid Accepted <br />NAYS: Marquardt Expenditure Approved <br />Motion to acknowledge receipt of financial reports for July 2013 and to approve of <br />same as submitted. <br />Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Marrie, made a motion to acknowledge receipt of financial reports <br />for July 2013 and to approve of same as submitted. <br />Mr. Wynne reported, through the end of July our income tax collections are $185,000 ahead of <br />last year. Receipts we have gotten for the month of August are about a couple hundred thousand <br />dollars ahead from the month of August last year. We are looking at $385,000 plus ahead of last <br />year's collection pace. The last four months of the year are pretty much status quo. I would <br />anticipate our income tax collections for the year will be anywhere from $2-2.5 million dollars <br />above what we had budgeted for this year. Our General Fund balance right now is about $14 <br />million and.our total cash is about $16 million. <br />Mr. Delguyd asked, out of curiosity do they ever do a survey of businesses like a hiring survey? <br />Mr. Wynne replied, there have been a bunch of surveys prepazed by the Ohio Municipal League. <br />Mr. Delguyd was thinking something more within our borders. <br />Mr. Esborn stated, this would not be too difficult to put together since we are in the process now <br />of refreshing our numbers for how many people at their location. It wouldn't be too hard to ask <br />about potential hiring. , <br />Mr. Delguyd stated, you could include four bullet points: do you expect to increase by 5%, <br />decrease by 5%, stay the same.
