Regular Council Meeting Minutes <br />5-17-10 <br />Page 10 <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any comments or questions. <br />Mr. Wynne explained this has to do with the Regional Council of Governments which oversees <br />RITA. Each one of the RITA communities that participate has a voting part to what takes place <br />there, so the role of the Delegate or the Alternate Delegate is to place the vote on behalf of the <br />Village to what RITA is doing. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None <br />Motion Carried <br />Appointment Approved <br />Motion to authorize expenditure in the amount of $46,000 representing the Village's <br />cost for ttee Wiley Fark Swift Grant (Total cost of project: $230,000; our portion: <br />20% or $46,000). <br />Mr. Marquardt moved to table. This has not been discussed in Council Caucus and should be. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if we have a second. <br />Mrs. Mills seconded. We discussed it in Finance at our Caucus and also at the Finance <br />Committee meeting. How soon does this need to be done? <br />Mr. Marquardt stated that generally it is discussed at Caucus. <br />Mr. Saponaro stated it was already done. That was why it went on the agenda. It was for the <br />application. This was something that is hitting the 2011 budget. The application was submitted <br />last week. We will not know until November or December whether we get it or not. The <br />appllcation had to go in. It did go to Finance Caucus. We had a presentation from Rachel Webb. <br />If you looked at the attachment to the Minutes of the Finance Caucus, it is a presentation <br />provided by Rachel Webb. It outlines the parking lot retrofit at Wiley Park. It explains the <br />purpose of what we are trying to achieve there. There's no guarantee that we would get the <br />grant. There's nothing that requires us at this point to expend any of this $46,000. It would be if <br />the grant was granted. We won't know until the end of this year. <br />Mr. Diemert asked, you can still opt out then, after it's granted? Mr. Saponaro replied, yes, and <br />it would not hit the 2010 budget, it would hit the 2011 budget. It has already been contemplated <br />for that budget as well. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated he did read the Minutes of the Finance Caucus meeting. So, <br />what was presented to us tonight and what was presented in detail at Finance Caucus was merely <br />to make application for the pending grant. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Saponaro replied, that's correct.
