"Firefighters help build the backbone of MDA and we thank you for your support," said Erin Johnson, Muscular Dystrophy Association, at the Warsaw City Council meeting Monday.
For the past 55 years, firefighters throughout Indiana have raised funds for research for more than 40 neuromuscular diseases, raising more than $26.6 million nationwide.[[In-content Ad]]In other business, the council approved The Beaman Home receiving a grant to cover operation costs for its shelter.
The purpose of the grant is to allow the Indiana Housing & Community Development Authority to award a $21,538 grant to Beaman Home.
The funds assist the organization in providing medical services at local clinics, summer camp, research grants, support groups and public education seminars at no cost to local children and families.
The agreement is for one year.
The council also approved a request from Warsaw Street Superintendent Lacy Francis for two transfers.
One request transfers $12,000 from street budget salaries to street unemployment. The transfer is necessary because of an increase in unemployment claims.
The second transfer is $20,000 from street operating expense to street repairs and maintenance due to an increase in repairs and replacement of tires.
The council also approved salary ordinances for Warsaw-Wayne Township fire territory board members. The recording secretary and citizen representative will receive $30 per meeting.
Councilman Jeff Grose informed the council that the Deer Task Force will meet Thursday at 7 p.m. at city hall.
Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins informed the council he has received a few calls from residents inquiring about the city's golf cart ordinance.
Indiana legislature adopted House Bill 1483 that states that as of July 1, an individual is prohibited from operating a golf cart on a highway. If a council approves, by ordinance, the use of golf carts, then it may require the use of a slow-moving vehicle sign, a valid driver's license and a minimum amount of financial responsibility.
Wiggins said he has looked at other cities' ordinances and will ask WPD to put together an ordinance.
Winona Lake Town Council also is considering a golf cart ordinance.
