FINANCE MEETING <br />March ll;'2004 <br />The following departments and issues were the highlighted discussion for this <br />meeting: <br />Bus Line <br />RTA has provided funding for a new manager for this year. <br />The Park n Ride has been successful and in fact, RTA is presently <br />negotiating with abutting landowners to obtain enough property to <br />increase the parking by 150 spots. This is the property to the north of <br />the present lot and Phase II of the project. <br />If Congress passes legislation regarding the Euclid Corridor, <br />construction on the NO Bus Garage will be scheduled for 2006 or 07. <br />This will probably be an 11 million dollar project with local <br />participation being 1 million. <br />Human Resources: <br />Grant money for a new vehicle was included in this budget <br />Mr Copeland reported on the Hot lunch program which also operates <br />under a grant. They are serving about 120-130 people every Tuesday <br />and Thursday. <br />By 20(15, the division will need additional clerical assistance and have <br />asked for an increase of hours for the present part time person. <br />The application for ADA entrance to the Community building was <br />denied. With the increased traffic into the senior center the entrance <br />is a difficult problem. Mr. Copeland proposed that he could provide <br />$1500 from a senior account and $3000 from the handicapped <br />parking ticket revenue designated for the senior center, and $5000 <br />from Title III nutrition donations -totally $9500 of the $15000 <br />necessary to repair this entrance. He has requested the remaining $ <br />5500 be budgeted to this repair. That request was granted. <br />
