Nitschke House. The size, weight and compromised condition of the stove precluded us from carrying out the relocation ourselves so we are especially grateful to Dan for his willingness and ability to help us.� We cannot thank them enough for their special interest and care that they took in planning and executing the move in order to bring it to fruition and for the pleasant and effective manner in which they did so.� As always, their assistance is truly appreciated.��

Livio Mancino, 102 North 24^th Street � Mr. Mancino asked why the Borough is spending this money when they are at a 2% cap and the taxes are out of sight.� He asked if these were necessitated before when we didn�t have the funds and now we do?� The Mayor said these were projects that were originally started in 1993, 2000 and 2002.� She said� Ordinance No. 1993-26 was for various improvements and the amount cancelled was $29,977.23, Ordinance No. 2000-19 was also for various improvements for $15,020.09 and Ordinance No.� 2002-04 for $12,462.81 was also for various improvements.� She said these are old ordinances in which the funds were not needed for those projects.� Mr. Mancino said someone was sleeping at the watch and it is outrageous that the funds were not being used and just sitting there.� The Mayor said now we are re-appropriating the funds.� Mr. Mancino asked if the Borough is going to check and see if there are other monies not used and are they going to find some money two years from now?� He said there should be someone watching to see if the funds go unused after two years and if not it should be rescinded.� Mr. Mancino asked what the $57,000.00 will be used for?� The Mayor said some of the money will go to repair the roof at the OEM Building and some will go for the boiler that is down at the Recreation Building.�� She said we found this money in old ordinances and we are using the funds in an appropriate financially sound manner.� Mr. Mancino said if the boiler in the Recreation Center was in bad shape and you did not find this money then you would have had to close the Recreation Building� The Mayor said no, the Borough would have used their capital to handle those type of items. She said we did not have to use our capital because we found the money in old ordinances.� Mr. Mancino asked if these items needed to be fixed when the budget was being passed months ago� and did the Borough have to say no to these items and not put them in the budget because they did not have the $50,000?� The Mayor said to Mr. Mancino as he knows because he was the Mayor for so many years, that although the budget has been passed, they have not yet appropriated the funds for capital projects.� She said had these items needed to be done then they would have used the capital budget to do them.� She said we were fortunate to be able to find the funds through our� CFO, Mr. Ordway who is continually looking through old ordinances to find unused funds.�� Mr. Mancino said that when you appropriate the capital budget, you cannot just appropriate a fund, you have to say what it is being used for.� The Mayor said yes when we pass the capital ordinances we have to do that.� The Mayor said we passed a budget that provides for a capital fund of a certain amount but we have not yet appropriated those funds for a specific project.� Councilman Joho said we have $50,000.00 set aside for the Capital Budget which allows for us to do one million.� Mr. Mancino asked if at this� point you have designated no capital projects except that you have allocated $50,000.00 for these projects? �Councilman Joho said our engineers are working on pending Capital Projects.� The Mayor said we have passed a Capital Ordinance for the acquisition of the facility across the street. Mr. Mancino said that if he was running a business this way he would be reluctant to say you are doing a good job with the tax payer�s money and he takes exception to this action.

Councilman Joho said he takes exception to that statement but the CFO is doing a tremendous job looking back at these prior ordinances where unexpended funds have been sitting for some time.� He said he thinks it is a great find for the Municipality to have hired Mr. Ordway and so far it is more than showing in his work as a Finance Officer.� He said as we go into any budget year, we have an idea of what projects need to be done as far as capital projects.� He said obviously, as any homeowner knows, there are projects that pop up unexpectedly for the municipalities like boilers, roof maintenance, etc.�� He said we are fortunate at this stage that there were funds available from past ordinances that will satisfy these expenditures without us reallocating capital funds that may have gone to other projects.�� He said this ordinance stands

for itself in the fact that these are funds that were unexpended, sitting for many years and our Finance Officer found them and we are re-appropriating them for useful purposes.

Tom Wyckoff, Kingston Avenue � Mr. Wyckoff asked if the money they found was laying in a bank somewhere or was it stuffed in somebody�s desk drawer?� He asked if the Borough balances their checkbook each year and why they did not notice the money earlier?� The Mayor said the funds were there and designated for a specific projects and sometimes these projects take forever to get the final sign-off from the engineer or the bond has to be paid, etc.� Mr. Wyckoff asked if the money was just lying around and the Mayor said no it was in the bank.
