Meeting Agenda Summary
At tonights council meeting city manager Bill Brock will recommend that council table an agreement to fix the city clock tower due to waiting on the bond company to respond to cost/liability questions. Additionally,
The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification, through a grant from Homeland Security, is donating a Mobile Hand Held Fingerprint ID scanner (valued at $1200). The device allows users to perform on-the-spot fingerprint and portrait/mugshot acquisition, as well as download a database of suspect fingerprints for local, onboard searching and matching. With its GPRS and Bluetooth communication capabilities, it can submit ANSI-NIST format files via secure protocols to a remote server, or to an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) for real-time identification.
The Rumpke contract is running out, at tonights meeting, council will be asked to bid this service before the contract runs out in February 2012.

which does not receive funding from the General Fund.
The Charter Review Committee recommendations will be voted on for inclusion in the November ballot. Adding language related to a council member being called to military duty, as well as other inclusions, see below.
