Finance Committee Report

      On May 13, 2005, the Finance Committee met to discuss capital expenditures related to the new police building.  Present from the committee were Jenny Barlos and Todd Zimmerman, and Chief Zink, Lieutenant Fortney, Dave Hazard, John Jezak, and Linda Wilker of the administration.  Mr. Buehrer had notified the committee that due to an out of town work commitment, he would be unable to attend.

      The initial requests were discussed and compared to related budgeted amounts.  Various subcategories were discussed at length with regard to the amount and quality of the equipment that would be purchased for the requested amounts.  The committee was sufficiently satisfied that Lt. Fortney had thoroughly investigated the price range of the requested amounts for the appropriate quality of equipment to minimize future expenditures and also the availability of local vendors for the equipment.  To this end, Lt. Fortney further assured the committee that he would continue to take steps necessary to make sure that the prices for the intended capital expenditures were the best value for the city.

      With the purchase of two additional copiers, the police department will have one more copier than it had when moving out of the old station.  When one of the older copiers becomes unusable, the police department will access their copying needs to determine whether they need to replace the copier or whether the addition of the two new high production copiers meet the needs of the department.

      In light of the discussion, it is the finance committee’s recommendation that the amounts indicated in Exhibit A, attached hereto be appropriated.

Respectfully submitted,

Todd M. Zimmerman, Chair

Jenny Barlos

Brent Buehrer
