Elyria’s finance committee approved a package of routine finance actions including certification of delinquent utility accounts, liens for demolition costs, disposal of unneeded equipment, a small city lease, and transfers to clear inactive funds. Director O'Connor presented 29 inactive or delinquent accounts the committee agreed to certify to the Lorain County Auditor; the total read into the record was $84,002.84.

The committee approved liens to recover demolition costs for 330 West River Road (demolition last year including asbestos testing/removal; the presenter read the cost as "$20,000.550" in the transcript) and for an emergency demolition of a detached garage at 342 11th Street ($3,980). Safety Service staff reported a 1990 backhoe attachment from the cemetery department (Wood 750) is unfit for city use and recommended disposal via GovDeals.

Director Reardon presented a one‑year lease for city‑owned property at 799 Abbey Road North at $500 per month; the committee approved an ordinance with an emergency clause. Finance Director Pileschi summarized transfers of residual balances from multiple inactive funds (examples include $4,618.61 from the demutualization fund to the general fund and $61,621.42 in the Dental Health Grant Fund described as program revenue) to clean up accounting and close funds; he estimated total moved funds likely near $80,000–$100,000. The committee moved and carried the transfers and associated amendments to the 2025 permanent appropriations ordinance.

Committee members asked staff to verify tax‑exempt status for certain multi‑unit accounts and to confirm the detailed totals; staff agreed to follow up.
