4 The Bath Country Journal, August 2020 The Bath Country Journal, August 2020 5 Township Administrator’s Corner by Vito Sinopoli

Budget development is an essential step in the planning process of any governmental entity. Budgeting is the process of allocating resources to the prioritized needs of a governmental entity and represents the legal authority to spend money. Before July of each year, extensive work is performed in preparing and filing the Bath Township budget for the following year. The process is a collaboration involv- ing township administration working with the department heads, fiscal officer and trustees in determining how best to allocate resources for the coming year. Once finalized, the trustees’ action of adopting the budget confirms that financial data has been carefully reviewed and the budget accurately reflects that the township’s needs coincide with available resources. The budget serves as an important tool for the control and evaluation of resources and to measure financial performance on the basis of comparisons between budgeted and actual operations. As such, the budget is implicitly linked to financial account- ability and relates directly to the financial reporting objectives of the township. The planning and control functions inherent in any organization or public entity highlight the significance of applying sound budgeting practices for a number of important reasons. The scope and diversity of operations in an organization make comprehensive financial planning essential for good decision-making. The link between financial planning and budget preparation gives the budget document a unique role in governmental organizations. Budgets in the public arena are often considered definitive policy documents, because an adopted budget represents the financial plan used by a government to achieve its goals and objectives. When a unit of government legally adopts a financial plan, the budget has secured the approval of the majority of the governing board and reflects public choices about which services the local government will or will not provide, the prioritization of activities in which the local government will be involved and the local government’s 6 The Bath Country Journal, August 2020 The Bath Country Journal, August 2020 7 plan for managing its resources. with those increases are projected for the the year, potentially to Dec. 31, it may be Township authority relative to the budget contract periods. more challenging for the township to meet process is contained in the Ohio Revised To assist with budget development, current expense obligations.

Demolition of the old high school began on June 4, starting with the cafeteria. Montgomery said there would be “a demo watch party” in August. Newcomer The board approved hiring Dan Ober- hauser as assistant principal at Revere Mid- dle School. Oberhauser received a two- year contract at a salary of $88,000. He comes to Revere from Alliance High School, where he was assistant principal. Online curriculum The board authorized $6,000 stipends to be split among members of grade-level teams of teachers who volunteered to create an online curriculum for grades K-5. Montgomery said he was hoping that two teachers per grade would volunteer. Instead, 33 teachers signed up to help with the project. The curriculum will be used for students whose parents deem it unsafe to send their kids back to an in-school environment until they are certain that COVID-19 has dissipated. ∞ 10 The Bath Country Journal, August 2020 The Bath Country Journal, August 2020 11 10 The Bath Country Journal, August 2020 The Bath Country Journal, August 2020 11 REVERE LOCAL SCHOOLS Revere board censures board member charged with underage drinking by Sheldon Ocker the board of education have been made Restart Revere Responsibly July 14 school board work session aware that board member Mike Kahoe Superintendent Matt Montgomery The Revere Board of Education passed did engage in conduct on or about May outlined tentative plans – the emphasis a resolution of censure against one of its 31, 2020, with other Revere students being on tentative — for return to school members, Mike Kahoe, who was cited on that resulted in the individual being cited in September. the night of May 31 in Vermilion, along for underage consumption of alcohol in Montgomery hopes to conduct classes with six other recent Revere High gradu- Vermilion, Ohio.

The result is an endeavor called “Con- nect,” which features actors performing roles from home via Zoom or Facebook Live. Connect coordinator Hannah Hilty is a recent Hiram College graduate who began working as an assistant to Sniadak- Yamokoski in December 2019. When the pandemic hit, Hilty found a new role.
