" Council Minutes of 1/16/85 -3- 4) Every Council Member has received a copy of the Landmarks annual report. Asked if the recently purchased typsariter would be paid out of 1984 budget monies since it was requisitioned and purchased before the end of the year. Mayor advised he had cut off all purchase orders during a period of time; it came out of the temporary appropriation monies. Finance Director stated he would look into this purchase and advise ~4rs. Petrigac about the funds used. Mr. Tallon, Chairman Building, Zoning and Development Committee reported: 1) A brief BZD Committee meeting was held this evening to clear up a proposal that was missed over the holidays. Mr. Tallon moved Council approve a proposal by Adon Equipment Company, 23904 Lorain Road, to construct a storage building on the rear of the property, as approved by ARB and Planning Commission, as well as BZD Committee, second by Mr. Bierman, unanimously approved. Mr. ?ailamosky, Chairman Finance Committee as well as Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met on January 14th with Mayor, Service Director, Safety Director, Public Works Commissioner, Fire Chief VanKuren and Police Captain Marsh in attendance. Discussed estimated costs with respect to a new chassis for Rescue Squad 53 which shows about 62,000 miles on the odometer. Based on 1984 figures, Squad 53 cost about $4.70 per mile for maintenance alone, primarily because of the high mileage and wear and tear on the alternator and transmission and other major components. Estimated cost for a new chassis is $30,000. Also discussed was the purchase of a new defibrillator for Squad 53 at a cost of $7,000. The estimated cost relating to five new police vehicles - four of which would be basic control units; one a detective vehicle - was $81,000 according to ?fir. Petre's estimate. Mr. Wilamosky noted that his figures from a previous meeting show an estimated cost for this puchase to be $61,00 plus. Apparently the additional cost will cover radio equipment and lights. Committee has no objection to moving ahead with the purchase of safety equipment however the method of funding must be established, whether through the general fund, through bonds or perhaps a combina- tion of both. Two of the older police cars will be converted for auxiliary use and the others will be traded in or sold at auction. 2) Committee also discussed the contents of the contract agreement Taith respect to the FOP and requested the Mayor to furnish information as to what the cost of the concessions would be to the City. Hopefully, will have this information within the next week or so. 3) Committee discussed the possibility of creating two additional funds, .one of which would be directrd at providing a vehicle for improving accountability where there is a shared service, shared cooperation, between two departments. This would provide a little mare accountability with respect to proper charges to the departments receiving services. This needs some work with respect to the language and there are some computer problems also to be solved. tlhat prompted the. need for this additional fund was the work being done by the Service Department at the Rec Complex in the last few months; how much was spent for labor, how much for material, and who made the purchases; should it come out of the Rec Complex budget or the Service Department budget. The other fund will provide a little better accountability for services the City performs for other governmental entities such as Cleveland Water Department, etc. tdhen there is a pay-back, Committee feels it should be kept in a separate fund instead of being put into the general fund and the monies therefor can be accountable. The mechanics of this fund are now being worked out. 4) Committee and the administration is very close to establishing a rate structure for the sewer system, at least through 1990 or so. If the Mayor has not been in communication with the City of Fairview and Olmsted Township, would ask that he do so since they caill be a part of this system based on the terms of the EPA grant. 5) Community Improvement Corporation has received a request for funding for the Carriage Carnet Company, Incorporated; interested Council P4embers are caelcome to attend the CIC meeting on the 24th.
