June 21, 2010 MINUTES OF COUNCIL A regular session of Troy City Council was held Monday, June 21, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. Members Present: Clark, Hutchinson, Kendall, Phillips, Schweser and Stubbs. Upon motion of Mr. Schweser, seconded by Mr. Clark, Mr. Harrah was excused from this meeting by unanimous roll call vote. Presiding Officer: Martha A. Baker, President of Council Others Present: Michael L. Beamish, Mayor Grant D. Kerber, Director of Law Richard L. Cultice, Auditor INVOCATION: An invocation was given by Council Member Phillips. MINUTES: The Clerk gave a summary of the minutes of the June 7, 2010, meeting of Troy City Council. There were no corrections or additions to these minutes. A motion was made by Mr. Clark, seconded by Mr. Hutchinson, to approve these minutes. Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Buildings, Streets & Sidewalks Committee: Mr. Kendall reported that Committee recommends legislation be prepared authoring an additional sub-recipient Agreement with Miami County related to the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) to release remaining NSP funds to Miami County for qualifying projects in that all applicable properties under the program which the City was reviewing have been dealt with. So that the funds can be released prior to the June 30 contracting deadline, Committee supports emergency legislation. Report signed by Kendall and Phillips. Finance Committee: Mr. Kendall, Chairman, reported that Committee recommends Council approve a Resolution of Support for the Advantage Sharing Program (ASP), which is a new economic development tool. The development of this program has been a regional effort, it would be funded by outside sources, and the program is discussed in the detailed report. Each jurisdiction interested in participating in the ASP has been asked to approve a Resolution of Support. Those Resolutions will be attached to a formal application for funding, which will be submitted to the appropriate U.S. government, State of Ohio, private foundations, and any other potential funding agencies. Because ASP is project-driven, it is entirely up to the City of Troy whether to submit a grant application on behalf of a company and, as such, incur the obligations for the 25% grant reimbursement. As there is no financial commitment for the City, there does not appear to be any drawbacks to providing support for ASP. Due to the need to coordinate applications for potential state, federal and foundation grants, Committee supports emergency legislation. Report signed by Schweser, Stubbs and Kendall. Law & Ordinance Committee: Mr. Schweser, Chairman, gave the oral report of notice of liquor permit application for a new D5I permit for BG International, Inc., dba Filling Station Sports Bar and Grill, 2331 W.
