DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARMEL AND CLAY TOWNSHIP FOR ZONING, FIRE, 911 AND PARK SERVICES FOR 1994: Councilor Quinn stated that new contracts were being written and hopefully would be ready for consideration at the next Council meeting. Councilor Quinn said the current contracts are too difficult to understand and the new contracts would be simple and based on actual expenses calling for one payment at the end of the year with the township agreeing to participate in all additional appropriations. Councilor Kendall stated he was pleased the contracts were being done in January rather than waiting 6 months into the year as had been done in the past and asked that a list of equipment be also included in the contracts. It was the consensus of opinion by PARK JOINDER PAYMENT FOR 1994: the Council that the township would receive two payments on the park joinder agreement for 1994. The township would receive the city's share of the 1994 budget when they received their money from taxes and that would be in June and December. Councilor Quinn cited this as another reason for the control of the park monies to be held with the City. FIRST READING/ORDINANCE D-1042/ESTABLISHING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS Councilor Quinn FUND FOR EMERGENCY AMBULANCE SERVICE FUND #102: made a motion to introduce Ordinance D-1042 and suspend the rules for reading of the same. The motion was seconded by Councilor Kendall. Clerk-Treasurer Susan Jones stated that she would feel more comfortable if the township would sign off of the amounts to be deposited into the emergency ambulance service fund. Jones feared that 10 years from now the township could conceivably come back on the City and demand additional monies be deposited into the fund. The Council agree this could be a potential problem. Councilor Quinn directed the Clerk to write to the township and provide them a copy of the ordinance and request their written approval of such a fund and amounts to be deposited to the fund and waive any rights to a refund in future years. The motion was seconded by Councilor Kendall. All members voted aye. This ordinance would return to the Council for final approval after an agreement had been reached with the township. There being no further business before the City Council the meeting was duly adjourned. Respectfully submitted, ______________________________ Susan W. Jones, Clerk-Treasurer Approved: _______________________________ Mayor ATTEST: _________________________________________ Susan W. Jones, Clerk-Treasurer
