PUBLIC HEARING

7:15 P.M.

 

OPEN DISCUSSION REGARDING

PROPOSED 2006 MANAGER’S BUDGET

 

Mayor Shaver opened the Public Hearing at 7:28 P.M., with the following council members present:  Mr. Sabatino, Mr. Parker, Mr. Wisniewski, Mr. Wright, Mr. Hackworth, Mr. O’Brien, and Mrs. Riggs.  Others present were:  Judy Gilleland, Lynda Yartin, Lance Schultz, Linda Fersch, Chief Mike Taylor, Phil Hartmann, Ed Drobina, Carol Carter, Deblin Jennings, Patti Wigington, Sean Casey, David Owens, Jeff Fix, Keith Smith, Cristie Hammond, Rick Ricketts, Jeff McInturf, and others.

 

Mayor Shaver asked if anyone would like to comment regarding the proposed 2006 Budget.   

 

Ms Deblin Jennings stated she is the President-Elect of the Olde Pickerington Village Business Association (OPVBA), and she had distributed a letter regarding their concerns regarding the City’s projected contribution to the OPVBA being cut from $10,000 to $2,500.  Ms Jennings requested her letter be entered into the record and is Attachment 1 to these minutes.  She stated she just wanted to make sure Council is aware of the repercussions of cutting this contribution to the OPVBA.   

 

Mayor Shaver stated the budget is a working document and the projections for balancing the budget at the end of the year are based upon very conservative estimates of revenue.  He stated, accordingly, we have found that our revenue will come in higher than what we have budgeted and that is why we have a contingency plan to add things back into the budget.  Ms Jennings stated the problem with that is the planning for events that will take place, for example, in September begins now.  She stated although they may receive more money later in the year, some events might have been canceled because they did not have the funds at the time the planning must take place. 

 

There being no further comments, Mayor Shaver closed the public hearing at 7:30 P.M., December 6, 2005.

B.         LAW DIRECTOR.  Mr. Hartmann stated his office has been in contact throughout today and over the past couple of weeks with Ms Martin regarding the residential design standards and Maronda Homes.  He stated he has had discussions with the City Manager relating to their concerns and he had prepared a memorandum that relates to the legal issues that were raised.  He stated that memorandum has not been distributed as yet, however, he is comfortable from his review that placing the residential design guidelines is appropriate prior to any permits being issued.  He stated he would be happy to answer any questions relating to that.   

 

C.        FINANCE DIRECTOR.  Mrs. Fersch introduced the new Deputy Finance Director, Chris Schornack.  Mrs. Fersch further stated she has an appropriation ordinance on tonight’s agenda and she would request three readings this evening.  She further stated the ordinance rescinding the $380,000 borrowing was on tonight’s agenda as we did receive the funds from the SIB loan and did not renew those notes.  Mrs. Fersch stated the 2006 pay plan and authorized strength is also on the agenda, and that ordinance includes the employee’s share for insurance premiums and the four percent wage increase for the non-bargaining and AFSCME employees.  Mrs. Fersch stated further the Municipal Facilities Impact Fee Fund that was just passed on the consent agenda will correspond with the requirements of the impact fee ordinance to set these aside in a separate fund.
