Winona Decides How To Use EDIT Funds
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
WINONA LAKE - The Winona Lake Town Council accepted a resolution Tuesday to use Economic Development Income Tax funds on capital improvements.
A capital improvement plan was accepted along with the use of EDIT funds.
The amount Winona Lake expects to receive from EDIT to finance various improvements is $264,000 per year, Town Coordinator Craig Allebach said. All the improvements that need to be made would cost up to $7.5 million and the town will look into other forms of revenue, like grants. Improvements included are for the town sewer system; roadway, curbs, drainage and sanitary sewer on Chestnut Street; renovation of a community building into a senior citizens' center at 1590 Park Ave.; roadway, curbs, drainage and sanitary sewer on Kings Highway; a sanitary sewer in Southtown; a new sewage treatment plant; and the Lake City Greenway bike trail.
Allebach said the town will work out amounts for each project later. Tuesday's action was just to get the resolution and a plan of action in place.
In other business:
• Allebach brought up the need for emergency snow removal in town when the Winona Lake Street Department can't handle it. Allebach received quotes from G&G Hauling and Excavating and Phend and Brown Inc.
Allebach suggested the town accept both quotes because G&G will charge less but has other contractual obligations and the company's customers would have precedence over the town. Phend & Brown, however, will take care of the town whenever they are needed.
The council approved Allebach's recommendation to accept both quotes.
• The council approved the purchase of a radio repeater from J&K Communications for $4,157.75 and disposal of a mechanic's vehicle.
• Council president Jerry Clevenger reported Winona happenings. The Fort Wayne Philharmonic Holiday Pops Concert will be Sunday at 2 p.m. at Rodeheaver Auditorium. Also, the shops of Winona Village will be open later during the holiday season - until 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays.
The members of the Winona Lake Town Council are: presdient Jerry Clevenger, Dave Delp, Craig Snow, Rolly Ortega and Jeff Carroll. [[In-content Ad]]
