Seconded by Walt Heil. Carried. Third reading was accepted on a motion by Walt Heil. Seconded by Len Jaske. Carried. Gene Reese reported that he had talked to Elsie Heimer, Lincoln Township Trustee, and the County Auditor’s office to see what their procedures are concerning poor relief vouchers for payment of utility bills. Reese said that Heimer agreed that a customer should be assessed late charges if they come to her after the 15th of the month. In a phone call to the Auditor’s office we were told that they send a check to the Town, for payment of the vouchers, as soon as they receive the vouchers from the trustee. A second call was made to the accounts payable department at the County-City Building, and we were told that that is not so. They only pay poor relief vouchers around the third week of the month. They also stated that if all the proper paperwork is not sent in to them it could take longer because they have to return the vouchers and wait for them to be resubmitted. Reese added that Heimer feels that when the clerk’s office receives a poor relief voucher, that bill should be marked paid, it can not be marked paid and taken off the computer until the money is actually received. It was

decided that late charges will not be written off for any customer who gets a voucher for his bill, after the 15th of the month. An Agreement and Mutual Release, in regard to Rossborough’s cost of extending water service to their plant was accepted on a motion by Len Jaske. Seconded by Gene Reese. Carried.

Attorney Holmes advised that these gifts should be receipted intothe Ambulance Donation Fund, and expenses for the event should then be paid from that fund. A tentative date is April 15th. President Rizek asked the attorney if he can give the Council any guidelines for uses of the newly established Promotional Fund. Holmes said that it can be used for authorization for Terry Baugher, Dave Bolze, Jeff Zehner, a Council member and himself to meet with the school to see what things will be expected of us in connection with the new addition.
