Committee Reports:
Police and Fire:
The Police Department and Council Committee recommended moving forward with the hiring of a replacement office. The Fire Department will wait to update the local fire code until later in the year when State of Ohio code gets updated.
Finance, Administration, Recreation, Service, Engineering and GHF Committee:
Mr. Schaefer made a change to his committee minutes regarding the unencumbered balance for 2009.
Mr. Schaefer noted that the % of projection for the monthly tax income is a better indication of the Villages tax income rather than the monthly figure because many factors can make the monthly figure fluctuate such as so many pay periods per month. Our 2009 tax projections were $11,650,000 and actual were $11,548,000. The Village of Evendale projected deficit for 2010 is $1,340,000 because of the Glendale Milford /Reading Rd road project and a few remaining streets. The Village will receive a $500,000 grant for this project. In 2012 a grant will be received for the traffic lights on Glendale Milford Rd and Reading Rd.
The Cultural Arts Center will be hosting various artists, wine tasting and CCM concert this weekend.
GHF is hosting a resident open house on 1/15 from 6-8.
The recreation center is hosting “Snow Much Fun” on 1/22 from 6-8.
