Bryan City Council Meeting
The Bryan City Council met in regular session
last night. The council began by approving a few ordinances including one
transferring funds of $365,000 from the 1% Income Tax fund with $275,000 going
to the General Fund and $90,000 going to the street fund along with an
Ordinance to authorize the purchase of rock salt from ODOT, through the state
purchasing program for the 2010-2011 winter season. The Council also
passed a number of resolutions including a resolution to accept a $5,000
donation from the Williams County Reduction and Recycling Center
to be used for equipment, labor or facility improvements along with the
promotion of continued recycling. They also passed a resolution
authorizing the Bryan Parks and Recreation to file an application and enter
into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for the purpose
of acquiring funds through the Division of Forestry’s Urban Forestry Assistance
Program. This is a 50/50 Match Grant, so the Parks and Rec Department is
taking $5,000 from their Tree Maintenance Budget, should the grant be approved,
to be matched with $ 5,000 to make it a total of $10,000 for the project of
removal and replanting park trees that have been invested with the Ash
Borer. The council then reviewed the Annual Report for the Engineering
Department where as for their overall budget, Employee Wages are $327,000,
Office Budget is $60,000, Building Maintenance is $57,000, Benefits are $53,700
and the Copier-Scanner is $12,000. They then accepted, with regret, the
resignation of Brad Cox from the Bryan Street Department after 36 years
effective April 30th. The council later moved into Executive Session for
employment of personnel.
