Steele vice principal, Jeff Reisen, accepts Eleanor M. Davie's diploma from her son, Dick Carpenter, registrar of Ohio Northern University. Davie graduated from Amherst High School in 1919. Marion L. Steele signed her diploma. by AMY PERSINQER News-Times reporter After deliberating at three separate meetings, the city's finance committee has decided to pass to the floor of council on first reading an ordinance ordering the payment of $3,500 to Joe Gambish — about half what the bar owner is asking for — after he claimed that his application for a state rehabilitation grant was not turned in by a former city employee. Gambish went before the finance committee for the first time Feb. 11 to present his case. He told the committee that he had applied for a grant through then-community development director Gregg Balbierz for work he was going to have completed on his electrical system and HVAC. The city subsequently fired Balbierz, and it seems he never turned in Gambish's application. City law director Kenneth S. Stumphauzer said the city has no legal responsibility to pay Gambish any money. He calls Gambish's claim a moral one. At Monday night's meeting Gambish said he hoped to answer councilmembers questions after not being able to attend the previous week's council meeting. Nancy Brown read a letter from present Main Street Director Lesia Boytchuk-Schneider that said that she was afraid that granting Gambish the money he asked for would open the flood gates for more complaints from people who didn't follow the right procedure. Gambish said he doesn't think that would happen, because he considers Boytchuk-Schneider a professional who completes her job thoroughly, therefore, the same situation shouldn't arise. "I don't think it's going to happen,** Gambish told the members. "I give Lesia all kinds of respect." Councilmember David Williams said the whole situation troubles him. He said that his heart tells him that Gambish invested time and money into the city, but the professionals — such as Boytchuk-Schneider — are giving council different advice. It was he who suggested awarding Gambish half the money. Steve P'Simer. third ward councilmember, said that if there is a flood of requests for money that they each have to be looked at on their own merit. He said Gambish can't be denied simply became there might be more requests waiting. Some members of council and the administration tried to gather information and see if they could help Gambish figure out what happened with his grant application.
