Finance Committee

     On February 3, 2006, the Finance Committee met to discuss a requested donation to Maumee S.A.I.L.  Present from the committee were Douglas Brainard, Jenny Barlos and Todd Zimmerman, Councilman Brent Buehrer, and David Hazard and Linda Wilker from the Administration and Don Adamski and Beth Wagoner on behalf of S.A.I.L.

     The purpose of the meeting was to follow up from last year’s finance meeting with S.A.I.L. and inquire into what steps have been taken to try and raise or obtain funds from sources outside of a City of Maumee donation.  It was again emphasized that while the committee finds there are several worthwhile causes and organization which the City helps support, the committee has attempted to get all of these organizations to proactively raise funds from other sources where possible.  S.A.I.L. was requesting $25,000 donation, the same amount as was requested in 2005.

     Mr. Adamski indicated that he recalled the goal to attempt to find alternative funding sources and had taken steps to try and accomplish the same.  S.A.I.L. has applied for a couple of grants and is more actively seeking additional grants than was done in years past.  Further, Mr. Adamski and S.A.I.L. are attempting to partner more closely with local businesses in sponsoring particular events.  S.A.I.L. has already received such support from Tireman, Charlie’s Dodge, local pizza places and in particular St. Luke’s Hospital.  S.A.I.L. has also started charging a minimal participation fee for certain events that help offset the expenses related to these events.  Finally, Mr. Adamski indicated that he is attempting to partner with other local agencies or communities in bringing in programs or speakers in an attempt to reduce the overall costs.

     Discussion also took place on the services and benefits provided to the community and in particular school age kids by S.A.I.L.  The committee was in agreement that the City was fortunate to have such an organization that draws from almost all facets of the community to pool resources to help those in need.  As such, the committee was satisfied that S.A.I.L. was taking steps to both try and obtain funds, where available, from other sources and minimize expenses while still continuing with the high level of services and programs that S.A.I.L. strives to make available.  Thus, it is the committee’s unanimous recommendation that a donation in the amount of $25,000 be appropriated for S.A.I.L. for the 2006 year.

Respectfully submitted,

Todd Zimmerman, Chair

Jenny Barlos, member

Douglas Brainard, member 

Mr. ZIMMERMAN moved to authorize appropriation of $25,000 for donation to S.A.I.L.  Roll call:  All members present voting yea, the Chair declared the motion carried. 

Mr. Coyle read the following report from the Public Information Committee. 

Public Information Committee

On January 30th, 2006 the Public Information Committee met to discuss 4 issues. Present were committee members Mike Coyle, Doug Brainard, and Rich Carr. From Administration Larry Gamble, Dave Hazard, John Jezak, and Linda Wilker. Also in attendance were Phineas Anderson, Lori Toth, Brian Sniegocki, and Tom Wagner.

The first issue concerned the need for a policy change regarding endorsement of political issues. Existing policy was that all requests be handled on an individual basis.  After much discussion it was the recommendation of this committee to adopt this policy change: That Council not endorse any ballot issue unless it solely pertains to the City of Maumee and/or it’s school district. On other types of endorsement requests they are still to be addressed on an issue-by-issue basis.

Second issue: resolution regarding nuclear terrorism. The committee believes that the potential serious impact on our nation of a nuclear terrorist attack requires us to speak out on behalf of our residents to do what we can to press this issue with those at the highest levels of our government. With that in mind the Committee unanimously approved endorsement of this resolution.  

Third issue: Maumee Arts Council letter requesting approval of 2006 concert dates and the city’s support. Representatives from the Arts Council were present and informed the committee they were no longer pursuing that request. The Arts Council went on to say they will be going in a different direction and they would no longer be running the summer concert series. After some discussion about the draw of the concerts and the correlation of high attendance and the high value Maumee residents obviously had with these shows the committee accepted the Arts Council decision and their letter can be removed from this committee. 

The last issue discussed was the one surrounding the funding of public events. The fact that funding of public events was only a small portion of the total requests for financial support and that this broader issue was quite complex and often carried over to the Finance Committee was discussed. The decision to add this broader issue to both Public Information and Finance committees was endorsed by all three committee members. This would allow the opportunity for both committees to look at funding issues jointly in the future.

Respectively submitted,

Mike Coyle, Chair

Doug Brainard, Member
