Safety director apologizes after invoice timing error; Council assigned EMA warrant ordinance
Summary
Safety Director Dan Chafin told Council the $15,762 invoice from the Medina County Emergency Management Agency was budgeted but not paid due to a timing error; he apologized and Council Member Jon Yurchiak agreed to sponsor Ordinance No. 26-050 authorizing the warrant.
Ordinance No. 26-050, authorizing a warrant not to exceed $15,762 for the Medina County Emergency Management Agency, was discussed as a routine, budgeted charge that was unpaid due to a processing timing error.
Safety Director Dan Chafin explained the EMA invoice arrived Jan. 14, was approved by the Board of Control on Jan. 26 and a purchase order was issued, but payment was not completed. "It was a budgeted expense and not new money; it was not new money that needed to be appropriated; it was simply a timing error," Chafin said, and he apologized for the extra work required of Council.
Council President Dan Rospert asked Council Member Jon Yurchiak to sponsor the ordinance; Yurchiak agreed and the clerk assigned Ordinance No. 26-050. The Committee did not take a final passage vote at the April 7 meeting; the item was placed on the Council agenda with the assigned ordinance number.
