1. WIND GENERATOR: The Board of Adjustment will consider a request for an 85’ wind generator to be located on the southwest corner of Hwy 65/69 and 92 at their June 3 meeting in city hall.
2. JUNE 15 COUNCIL MEETING: Bob Kreamer and Mark Vickroy are both unavailable June 15th so we are at the minimum. Please advise if any other council members cannot attend.
3. POOL: Recreation Supt Doug Bylund reports the pool’s first weekend produced the following:
Saturday: $441.40 Admissions, $272.50 Concessions
Sunday: $575.50 Admissions, $340.75 Concessions
Monday: $223.75 Admissions, $134.00 Concessions
Total 3-day revenue was $1,988.00. Last year, the pool only opened 2 days (due to cold) and had $1905.50 revenue. Warm weather is badly needed!!
FYI—I understand council concern regarding the pool’s fund balance but keep in mind last summer was one of the wettest ever. Pool revenue is almost exclusively related to weather.
4. WEST EUCLID: According to Veenstra & Kimm the final project costs for the West Euclid Project are:
May 29, 2009 As written in the memo
Final Construction Cost $ 981,404.85 $ 982,338.85
Total Project Cost $ 1,157,666.21 $ 1,158,350.20

6. SOFTWARE: Laurie Hebl will have a recommendation at the June 8 committee meeting to replace the 13 year-old software in the Clerks Office (billing, accounts payable, payroll). The good news is the cost is under the $150,000 budget.
7. SALARY/BENEFITS: The 2010 salary resolution (packet) will be on the June 15 agenda. It is per the union contract and in the FY 09/10 Budget adopted on March 2.
8. HEALTH POOL: May’s balance remains over $700,000 and holding steady. Good news!
9. BALLOON MUSUEM DITCH: We are awaiting word from FEMA regarding the status of the disaster claim for reparation to the drainage ditch north of the Balloon Museum. The State did not support our claim so we are not too optimistic about FEMA. A decision will be rendered by June 1.
10. WARREN HOTEL: No additional brick movement but we are continuing to monitor.
