When did City Council decide to move their meetings to the Police Training Room?
Was there discussion and a vote held? What are the "Miscellaneaous items" that they plan to discuss there in private outside of the view of the TV cameras? What are they afraid to discuss in full view of the public via TV Middletown? Something stinks here.

COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION DEPARTMENT To: Judy Gilleland From: Doug Adkins Re: Moving While information continues to flow and change almost daily on the $75 million grant program from the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, guidelines starting to spell out how much and how the program will work were issued this week. The initial timing at this point is: Application Submission Deadline: Grant Award Date: Project Completion Date: Final Drawdown of Funds: County is that the money will go predominately to $500K does not require matching contributions. In theory, therefore, the two cities collectively could be required to come up with matching funds of $2,179,701. between Federal Funds including HUD funds cannot be used as a match. This can be bypassed by redirecting HUD funds to eligible projects currently being funded by the General Fund and then redirecting General Fund dollars to this project. The grant program does not permit using grant funds or matching funds for commercial or industrial projects. It is limited to residential demolition ONLY. Up to 5% of funds can be used for Administration (staff time) in preparing all of the demolition paperwork (condemnation orders/bid documents/bid award/ contract preparation/etc.). If a land bank is created, the land bank will be the Lead Entity for the grant. If the land bank is not created or is created and not funded, local funding could be provided in several ways. Below are three possible scenarios. Possible Scenario #1 2012 2013 TOTAL Economic Development $50,000 $50,000 Revolving Loan $150,000 $39,850 CDBG Transfer $300K to GF project Transfer $300k to GF Project Nuisance Fund $100,000 $100,000 General Fund $300,000 $300,000 TOTAL $ 600,000 $ 489,850 $ 1,089,850 Possible Scenario #2 2012 2013 TOTAL Econcomic Development $50,000 $50,000 Revolving Loan $489,850 CDBG Transfer $300k to GF Project Nuisance Fund $100,000 $100,000 General Fund $300,000 TOTAL $150,000 $939,850 $1,089,850 Possible Scenario #3 2012 2013 TOTAL Economic Development $100,000 ED fund Revolving Loan $489,850 CDBG Transfer $300K to GF Project Nuisance Fund $100,000 $100,000 General Fund $300,000 TOTAL $989,850 $100,000 $1,089,850 If the land bank is created and funded with DTAC, in theory, about $900K would be generated by the land bank in 2013, reducing the overall match required by all participating cities by +/- $900K. All of this is preliminary and for information and discussion purposes only. When hard numbers and timing are developed, staff will take appropriate steps to discuss final funding amounts and accounts and prepare the appropriate legislation to enact Council’s wishes. |

Hmm...all these years we have been told that CBDG money could only be used for certain things, and that it couldn't be used for other things--for example, street repairs and repaving. Yet now we see that CBDG money can be transferred into the General Fund and used for anything that City Hall wants to use it for.
Perhaps Councilman Laubach should be asking why CBDG money can't be transferred into the General Fund and then transferred into the street repair fund???

Welcome back Micky P. Remember when we asked Scott-Jones and Tony Marconi to explain some of the mysterious budget transfers at one of the library Sunday sessions years ago? Doesn't matter what question you ask or who is providing the answer, it all comes out in a double-talk/mishmash way so that the average layman can't understand a dam thing. Masters at Voodoo Finance Manipulation. Remember some of the flow charts around the work place on how problems are solved, where it shows a bunch of lines going in all directions as questions are asked? Reminds me of one of those, meant to be a joke, but in this city's finances, a reality. Doesn't look like Councilman Laubach is participating anymore. Guess he joined the rest of the citizen-shunning members. Thought he would have been different and was for awhile. Toned down the rhetoric or was told to do so by the Masters and Commanders.

Yes sirree, Bob!!!
Think of all the times we have heard from the City Manager and the other denizens of City Hall that CBDG and the various other federal funds have all sorts of strings and can only be used for certain things, and cannot be used however we want. Now, all of a sudden when matching funds are needed for a pet project, we find out that federal dollars can be transferred into the General fund to be used however the City Manager wishes. MIddletown!!! The "Land of ILLUSION!!!"
