By Andy Heuring The Town of Winslow learned they will have to op- erate next year on $ 30,000 less than they did this year. They also decided not to appoint anyone to an open council seat for the last meeting of the year. Clerk-Treasurer Sta- cy Worthington presented the council with their 1782 forms, which were sent to them by the Indiana De- partment of Local Govern- ment and Finance. Winslow had requested $ 373,045 for 2019. They were grant- ed $251,241. In 2018, Win- slow's approved budget was $280,815. They had requested $45,000 in the Rainy Day fund, only $1,889 was ap- proved. They requested $224,895 in the General Fund, but $173,039 was approved, which is a cut of $51,856. Winslow requested $19,000 in Local Road and Street, but were only approved for $15,052, a cut of $ 3,948. They received all of the $54,150 they requested in the Motor Vehicle Highway fund. None of the $10,000 they requested in the Cumu- lative Capital Improvement fund was approved and on- ly $7,111 of their Cumulative Capital Development fund request of $20,000 was ap- proved. Their general fund is the biggest concern for Win- slow. Last year, they were approved for $223,250. But this year, that amount was reduced by nearly $50,000 to $173,039. Councilmen Terry Stro- bel and Dick Brewster said they didn't think it was nec- essary to replace Greg Sim- mons since there was just one meeting left in 2018. Simmons died two days after the previous council meeting, leaving a vacancy on the three-member board. Debra Lamb and Josh Popp were elected, along with Brewster. They will take of- fice in January 2019. Councilmen were told they had to reorganize the board because Simmons was president. "Do you want to be presi- dent for a month? " Brewster asked Strobel. "No, you can," said Stro- bel, whose term ends in De- cember. "That's very kind of you," said Brewster. Brewster was appointed president and Strobel vice- president. In other business, the council voted 2-0 to renew their contract with Antho- ny's Pest and Termite Con- trol. Winslow had request- ed bids from two compa- nies other than Anthony's. They received a bid from Or- kin of Evansville. Their bid was $2,640, not including termite protection. They al- so received a bid from Ter- minix in the amount of $ 3,660. The prices were to cover Town Hall, the Com- munity Center, Fire Depart- ment and Water Department building. Brewster told Clerk-Trea- surer Worthington he was glad she got bids from oth- er companies. "I wanted to see that, but I don't want to see it again," said Brew- ster of the large difference in prices. "It's a no-brainer," said Strobel about the choice of Anthony's. Councilmen approved the claims totaling $ 39,342.14. They also set their next meeting for 7 p.m. Monday, December 10 at the Winslow Community Center.
