	5. Resolution No. R2015-28, a resolution to make adjustments to appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures of the City of Middletown, Counties of Butler and Warren, State of Ohio, for the period ending December 31, 2015, and declaring an emergency. (Pool Fund)(No action requested until July 21, 2015) DATE June 18, 2015 TO: Douglas Adkins, City Manager FROM: Scott Tadych, Public Works & Utilities Director PURPOSE To request a supplemental appropriation for the Pool Fund (acct. #257.990.52480) in the amount of $17,946.45. BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS Funds were donated to keep Sunset Pool open several years ago. Ultimately it was decided to close the pool permanently. The Park Board desires to use these funds to construct a picnic shelter at Sunset Park. Parks Maintenance staff obtained quotes from several contractors to construct the shelter. The low quote was submitted by B.D. Morgan & Co. in the amount of $18,986.00. The shelter will be 18 feet by 20 feet on a concrete slab. Funds must be appropriated in order to proceed with the project. ALTERNATIVES Do not build the shelter. FINANCIAL IMPACTS The cost of the proposed shelter is $18,986.00. The supplemental appropriation from the Pool Fund (257) is $17,946.45. The balance, $1,039.55, will be paid out of the Capital Fund (220). EMERGENCY/NON EMERGENCY Emergency legislation is requested at July 21st City Council meeting in order to start construction this summer. I thought these funds were transfered to the parks dept several years ago to clear this account.

	BD Morgan had the lowest bid at almost 19 grand? A little high perhaps? An 18 ft x 20 ft open shelter with a concrete slab for 19 grand? You can get an enclosed patio room for that. Have the city workers build the forms, back a concrete truck in and pour the slab saving money. Buy the canopy, assemble it and mount it into the concrete using city workers. Wouldn't this be a money saver?
	I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over.

	I thought the money was stuck because it was donated by AK for one purpose and it might have had to go back to them or get AK approval to use it for something other than operating Sunset Pool.

	scouter The money was placed in a restricted fund for the pool....however I thought AK approved spending this money on Armbruster Nature Park...I think it went before council for approval. Anyway I thought this money had already been spent by the park board.
