Finance committee moves several emergency payments and small budget appropriations to full council
Summary
Finance and multiple committees referred or called for emergency readings of invoices and small appropriations, including a $14,898.59 Ohio Edison invoice for pole removal and several small appropriations for parks and fire operations; the committee also referred a payment to MultiForce Systems for a fuel-services contract.
Barberton's committee meetings on May 19 produced multiple finance requests that committee chairs moved to full council with emergency readings or referral to the finance committee.
Key items referred or called for included: an invoice from Ohio Edison for $14,898.59 to remove light poles on Second Street Northwest (request came from Director Carr and was referred to finance); an appropriation of $3,000 from the general fund to Parks administration operating and maintenance; an appropriation of $15,000 to the Fire Departments operation and maintenance budget at Chief Polaceks request; and authorization to pay MultiForce Systems Corporation $3,944 for the annual fuel-services contract. Each of these items was moved and carried in committee, generally with a voice vote of “Aye.”
Separately, the planning/street committee reported that the actual bid for the sidewalk project on and near Van Buren (PID 122321) came in about $5,000 over the estimate; committee members asked whether CDBG or other funds would cover the increase and then moved the request to full council with emergency reading.
No detailed roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the committee summaries; chairs indicated motions were moved, seconded and approved. Committees asked finance staff to include these items on next weeks council agenda for formal ordinance readings and final votes.
