I will forward the EMS funds to Miami Township when we receive the total revenue for the year. Mayor Sammons requested I look into interest bearing accounts for the Village funds. I am recommending investing in StarOhio. An information packet is on the desk for your information. This investment account is run by the Treasurer of the State of Ohio. It permits the state’s political subdivisions to pool public funds into a large investment fund managed by the State Treasurer and staff. It is designed for political subdivisions seeking to preserve capital, maintain liquidity and provide current income. It is rated AAAm by S&P and is currently offering 1.21% APY. Most importantly to me though is there are no restrictions on access to our funds - barring normal business hours, no penalties for withdraw at any time, interest is posted daily to the account and reinvested monthly. At this time, I recommend investing $200-300,000 but ask for Council’s opinion. I will be attending Village Fiscal Officer training in Dayton on Tuesday, 10/17. Please get with Mayor Sammons, Dave Moorman or myself with budget requests for 2018. Approval of the following years’ budget is in November per past practice. The annual resolution accepting the Budget Commission’s amounts and rates for 2018 budget needs approval. We issued 1 purchase orders this month to the Auditor of State, Village Fiscal Officer training, $100.00. Distributed to council members this month are the following reports: · Monthly Cash Flow Analysis: Showing money in/money out and the check book balance · Payment and charge Register Report: Includes all checks & automatic payments taken directly from our checkbook since last Council Meeting · Receipts Register Report: Includes all sources of revenue taken in by the Village since last Council Meeting · Revenue Status Report: Shows the year-to-date status of each revenue account as of date of this Council Meeting · Fund Status Report: Shows amount left in each fund as of date of this Council Meeting and the current checking account balance · Year to Date Beautification Accounting Report · Mayor’s Discretionary Fund Report – no expenses to report this month Copies of all the above reports are available for public viewing at the Village Office.
