FINANCE MEETING <br />February 28, 2004 <br />Present were committee members, Kasler, Gareau and Limpert, Directors of Finance, <br />Safety, Service, the Mayor and guests. <br />Various funds in the Service department were discussed. Of note is the following: <br />1) Line 1144: This referred to a request for $ 50,000 for repair of a metal <br />box culvert on Bradley Road. Questions arose regarding whether the <br />County has any funding responsibility, whether the city has funding <br />responsibility, and if so ,how much. The figure was put on hold for <br />further information. It was later removed as it was unsubstantiated at this <br />time. <br />2) In the Street Maintenance Fund, the Service Director requested ,out of <br />a figure of $ 94,000, $ 40,000 for the purchase of 3 new vehicles to <br />replace those presently used by Street Maintenance, Springvale and the <br />Sign Department. With intentions to repair some of the older vehicles, <br />and trade in one or two, the new trucks would be used by the Service <br />Foreman, The Forester and the Building Maintenance supervisor at the <br />Recreation Center. These vehicles would be "take home" vehicles. <br />This plan was questioned first for the trade in value and whether it <br />would not be more prudent to maintain that vehicle rather than trade it <br />in for the minimal trade in value, and second in relation to the use of <br />the new vehicles as "take home" trucks. The necessity to take these <br />home was questioned, as well as the additional wear and tear on the <br />vehicles that results from this policy. <br />3) Recreation: <br />A discussion took place regarding the request for $ 50,000 for cleaning <br />services at the Rec Center. Council requested information regarding <br />the contract, terms of the contract, validity of the contract, length of <br />the contract and further requested that this be referred to the law <br />department for review. <br />A suggestion was made that a sign be considered for Lorain Road and <br />a reasonable proposal be presented to Council <br />Further, Councilman Gareau requested that the Rec Commissioner <br />provide his proposal for expending monies designated to Claque and <br />North Olmsted Parks. <br />~~,~..f~ <br />w, ~ <br />
