The committee voted unanimously to recommend approval of hiring an additional safety guard for Ft. Miami School.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Rich Carr, Chairman

Mr. Zimmerman read the following report from the Finance Committee meeting. 

Finance Committee 

The Finance Committee met on Monday, January 9, 2006, to discuss the issue of requested funding by the Senior Center, a requested donation by SAIL and the budgeted amount for the proposed new fire station.  Present from the committee were Todd Zimmerman, Jenny Barlos and Doug Brainard.  Also present were councilman Mike Coyle and Linda Wilker, Joe Camp, Larry Gamble, Chief Monto and John Jezak from the administration.  Dave Hazard was present for a portion of the meeting.  Finally, Joe LaChappelle and Stefanie Spieth were present on behalf of the senior center. 

The first issue discussed was the requested funding from the senior center.  Initially the senior center was requesting $49,000, but this number was changed to $39,000 once an explanation was given regarding outstanding bills and prior funding.  Representatives of the senior center were present and explained that the request is larger than in the past due almost totally due to an increase in utility costs.  Joe Camp from the administration has been working with the center to attempt to minimize the increase, but with a larger center and increase in utilities, most of the increased cost was unavoidable.  The number of citizens from Maumee or past citizens that used the center was discussed and is a very significant amount of the use.  Further, more specific numbers will be gathered in the future by the new director.  Finally, the increase in the requested funding had nothing to do with recent developments with the senior center and some alleged misuse of funds, as the center did not actually lose any money from those developments.  Thus, it was the committee’s unanimous recommendation that funding be appropriated in the amount of $39,000 for the senior center. 

The next issue discussed was a request by the Fire Department and Service Department to increase the amount budgeted in the capital budget for the proposed new fire station.  When originally budgeted several years ago, the amount budgeted was four million dollars.  Due to a change in sites, some proposed changes in the structure itself and an overall increase in costs related to building the administration is now requesting that 5.7 million dollars be budgeted for the fire station.  It was indicated by the Finance Department that such an increase would not negatively impact the overall financial position of the city.  It was noted by the committee and those present however that the increase was a significant one.  Further, it was made absolutely clear that the approval of the budgeted amount was not in any way to be an approval on any of the building plans or site plans and that all of those issues need to be addressed by the Buildings and Lands Committee.  Thus, it was the unanimous recommendation of the committee to increase the budgeted amount in the capital budget for the fire station and related site improvements to 5.7 million dollars.  It is also the unanimous recommendation that the fire station and site plan be referred to the Buildings and Lands Committee to address any plans or proceeding forward with the fire station. 

Finally the committee discussed the request by SAIL for a $25,000 donation for 2006.  The committee had questions regarding other funding for SAIL and some follow up questions regarding any changes from the last meeting when the 2005 donation was discussed.  As, due to some miscommunication, no one was present from SAIL, the committee decided to finish discussing this issue at a future meeting.
