Can aluminum mirror sheet glass be used for curtain walls
aluminum mirror sheetaluminum mirror sheet glassaluminum sheet
Can aluminum mirror sheet glass be used for curtain walls? The answer used to be negative, for common sheets' service life in outdoors is not so satisfying as aluminium composite panels or steel panels. Therefore, it was not recommendable to use it as a raw material for curtain walls. Now, however, it's possible, and a kindergarten abroad even has its teaching building covered with aluminum glass mirror panels, creating an illusion that the building is almost invisible, hiding in shadows of trees, grass and white clouds reflected by the mirror sheets on the walls. The aluminium mirror sheet glass is mainly used in several industrial fields, including lighting parts, lampshade mirrors, solar reflectors, interior decoration, aluminum gussets, ceilings, furniture, cabinets, display cabinets, elevators, signs, nameplates, bags, clothing decorative pieces, car interior decoration, photo frames, household appliances, refrigerators, microwave ovens and so on.
The glass sheet is popular even in curtain walls because of its economical cost, special surface treatment methods, excellent mirroring effect and extraordinary performances. When we talk about economical, we are not indicating that an aluminium glass mirror sheet is cheaper than mirror sheets of other materials, but that it's more cost effective owing to its low density. While being used for curtain walls, the sheet must go through an anodizing process, the purpose of which is to strengthen a sheet's surface hardness and resistance to various materials. Such a sheet lasts much longer than common polished aluminium sheets and has much better performances in corrosion resistance and strength. In particular, god and rose gold aluminum sheet glass is very popular.
Haomei supplies aluminium mirror glass sheets of all regular types. Welcome to contact us for more information!

Grand Forks late-night hotspot makes Esquire's list
Red Pepper in Grand Forks has been named one of Esquire's Best places for late-night food in the nation. Its famous ham grinder is putting the restaurant on that list.
Red Pepper restaurant in Grand Forks is expanding to Fargo.
By news@grandforksherald.com
The Esquire article gives shout-outs to other local businesses that contribute to the taste of the grinder, like Hugo's Bakery and L&M Meats.
"This is the best grinder I've ever had," said first-time customer Bret Kasel. "I'd say it's the best in the world. The bread is so nice and soft, the meat is all done; it's all melty cheese... just delicious."
Jeff Tellmann owns both Red Pepper locations in town. He says being one of the 24 nominations was a welcome surprise.
"It was a real surprise," he said. "I'm real excited about it. We didn't know what it would be. I'm surprised to be at the top of the list."

Are you looking to create a healthier version of a holiday meal for your family? Everything you make for the holidays doesn't have to be bad-for-you-food. There are ways to make good-for-you-food. Check out these tips for making healthy meals over the holidays!
If you're looking to make delicious meals over the holidays, but don't want to go sugar and carb crazy, consider substituting some of your favs for healthier alternatives. Instead of mashed potatoes, you can have caulitatos. Instead of using cool whip, you can make your own version out of whipping cream.
A lot of sugar is promoted over the holiday season. Instead of just buying whatever you want and not knowing what's in it, consider looking at the packages. Pay attention to how many sugars and carbs are in each food item you buy. Plus, looking at the ingredients can help you know what to buy and what not to buy.
Instead of going out and buying every single food item you want at your holiday meal, consider making a few items from scratch. Sometimes it does take longer, but it's so much healthier in the end. For example, making your own frosting, eliminates all of the added sugar and oils that you would otherwise be feeding your family.
One huge reason people always go for junk food options is that they don't plan ahead for the holidays. It's easy to grab a box of processed food because it's already prepared. Taking the time to prep ahead for meals is one way to make healthy meals over the holidays.
Before you head to the grocery store for your holiday meals, make a list. It's so easy to forget what you want/need to make that healthy meal. If you can swing it, write out the list on your phone/tablet and bring it with you. Most people don't forget their phones, so this is an easy way to remember that list, even after you've wrote it.
Making healthy meals over the holidays is all about having willpower. Sure, the holidays are all about yummy foods and delicious desserts, but it's not always worth sabotaging your health over. Feeding your family what is good for them, sometimes stumps what tastes good. What tips do you have for making healthy meals over the holidays?

Government contractors should speak up!
Government contracting at the federal level is in a state of flux and it could become even more burdensome in the future. If this happens, large federal contractors may begin to focus more on state and local government opportunities. While state contracts may not be quite as large as those at the federal level, they are large enough and certainly less complicated, competitive and cumbersome.
The Obama administration is expected to weigh in heavily on initiating new federal contracting rules. One dreaded possibility is that a company could be required to hire certain contract employees if the company successfully captures an existing government contract. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is expected to issue a ruling that will contain a hiring mandate for outsourced workers in the near future.

Health information technology gets $83.9 million boost
45 grants issued nationwide to improve quality of care, patient safety
Entities across the country will use $83.9 million in Recovery Act funds to expand the use of health information technology. The funds were recently announced by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and will be in the form of grants to help networks of health centers adopt electronic health records (EHR) and other health information technology (HIT) systems.
Sebelius said the funding will provide technology that "improves the quality of care we all receive and helps make care more efficient." The networks, which include at least three collaborating organizations, are community-based groups that support Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded health centers that provide primary health care to nearly 19 million patients, and those numbers are expected to double in the next five years.
The goal of the 45 grants being issued is to support EHR and HIT projects. EHR technology, according to experts, will help eliminate errors in health care and help improve patient safety. Medical professionals who practice within health centers and can show meaningful use of certified EHR technology may become eligible for incentive payments from Medicaid and Medicare.
"These funds will help safety net providers acquire state-of-the-art health information technology systems as they work to provide quality health care to millions of people in need," said HRSA Administrator Mary Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N. (pictured).

Rural communities to share $167.8 million for infrastructure
Contracting opportunities will range from construction to technology
Rural communities throughout the country will get much-needed improvements to community centers, libraries, health care facilities and other infrastructure through investments announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development. Many of the projects will result in a variety of contracting opportunities from new construction to purchase of technology upgrades. The funds are from the federal Recovery Act and will benefit 145 projects in 37 states.
These community improvement projects are at facilities that serve the public in rural areas. They range from child care centers, hospitals, medical clinics, assisted living centers, fire and rescue stations, police stations, community centers, public building and transportation. The funding will ensure that these types of facilities are available to all rural area residents. The money is made available to public entities, nonprofits and Indian tribes. The funds are being matched with $60 million from other sources.
In Monterey County, California, a $105,000 grant will be used to purchase a bookmobile and four computers with Internet access. The Mancos Library District in Colorado was awarded a $39,950 grant to purchase and install solar panels. In Georgia, the Cherokee Regional Library System was awarded a $100,000 grant to purchase and install new heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment.
Other recipients include the City of Scottsburg, Indiana, which was awarded a $200,000 grant to purchase training equipment for a technology, innovation and entrepreneurship center. In New York, the Village of Brocton was awarded a $50,000 loan and $57,000 grant to purchase a new ambulance. And in Nashville, Wisconsin, a $592,500 loan and $200,000 grant will be used to construct a multi-use community center building.

$348 million facilities bond to go before California district voters
Voters in the Mt. Diablo school district in Concord, California, will be asked to approve a $348 million facilities bond anticipated to save the district $150 million in energy costs over 30 years. Trustee Gary Eberhart (pictured) said he expects support for the issue. "The processes we've used to upgrade and modify our schools have been really good," he said.
The bond issue would provide for 817 projects at 53 sites carrying a cost of approximately $202 million. The largest part of the bond would be the $68 million that would pay for 51 solar structures. The district also would receive about $19 million in energy rebates over five years. In addition to solar projects, other expenditures would include $41.6 million for heating and air conditioning, $28.7 million for new classrooms and $20 million for technology upgrades. Other expenditures would be for renovations, lighting, security and maintenance. A breakdown of the spending includes:
$69 million - solar and irrigation resource conservation projects;
$41 million - heating and A/C;
$28 million - new facilities, science labs and classrooms;
$20 million - technology, including fiber optic, infrastructure;
$15.5 million - electrical systems;
$13 million - building upgrades, windows, roofs and doors;
$10.7 million - interior upgrades to restrooms, floors, food service;
$3 million - improvements to playgrounds, pavement, fencing; and
$700,000 - temporary housing facilities.
Pennsylvania schools will have $600 million for construction projects
Many schools in Pennsylvania will share some $600 million in federal stimulus funds for construction projects. The major portion of that money - $50.5 million - is headed to the Pittsburgh Public Schools in the southwestern part of the state. Among the projects to be funded are energy efficiency projects and math and science labs. A total of 101 projects across the state will benefit from $602 million in funds. That includes $15 million for the McKeesport Area, $20 million to East Allegheny, New Castle Ara and Sharon Washington and $16.8 million to South Fayette. Some schools also will use their funding for renovations. Some of the funds will be used to pay interest on bond money that will be borrowed to finance the projects. Most of the money will be directed toward making school buildings more energy efficient or to reduce their water consumption, providing facilities for early childhood programs and building labs for science, technology, engineering or math courses.
Tennessee school district seeks low-interest bond issue
The Sullivan County school system in Blountville, Tennessee, is seeking approval to apply for a $5.3 million low-interest bond issue that would fund three projects.

University of Oregon gets donation for athletic building
A multi-million-dollar donation from a major sports company will allow the University of Oregon to add another building to its athletic department. The new addition will be approximately 100,000 square feet and will create more space for the university's football program.
University President Richard Lariviere (pictured) estimated the building would be worth "tens of millions of dollars." In addition to the building, the project will include a new field, stands and scoreboard for the soccer and lacrosse programs. Construction is expected to begin this year and be completed by 2013.
Fort Thomas district gets federal funds to build new elementary school
Fort Thomas Unified School District in Arizona has been awarded $3.8 million from the U.S. Department of Education to build a new elementary school in Bylas. It was the largest award given to Arizona schools and the sixth largest award nationwide. The Bylas community is being relocated south because of environmental concerns and these funds will build a new elementary school in the new Bylas location. The school is expected to be completed within 18 months.
Bond issue in Arizona district would provide for upgrades
An $84 million bond issue is planned in November for the Chandler Unified School District in Arizona. The bonds would provide for roof repairs, repairs to parking lots and the addition of two new elementary schools. Officials saw the need for capital improvements that the state will no longer fund.
The bond issue includes $33 million in renovation and repairs to the 41 schools in the district. The two new elementary schools would have a combined cost of $32 million, including a land purchase for one. The remainder of the funds would be used to purchase buses, renovate some facilities, upgrade technology and purchase furniture and equipment.
Pennsylvania school district to use stimulus funds for projects
The Glendale School District in Flinton, Pennsylvania, has been awarded more than $2.5 million in federal stimulus funds for improvements to schools in the district. Superintendent Arnold Nadonley (pictured) said the funding will pay the interest on a $7 million bond for the district. The funds will be used to replace the roof on the joint elementary and junior-senior high complex and to replace some mechanical, safety and security systems.
The superintendent said the bond may later be expanded to address other issues facing the district, such as a building addition. A number of other projects were recently outlined and if they were to be added, the cost could increase to about $19 million.
Virginia school board OKs fall bond referendum
A November bond election in Arlington, Virginia, would provide for a new Wakefield High School and add infrastructure and technology improvements. The total amount of the bond projects is $102.9 million. The school board also approved additional bond votes of $11.07 million in 2012 and $3.35 million in 2014.
The estimated cost of the new high school is $104 million. That issue will likely go before voters in November. A successful bond issue would have construction starting next summer. Another $2.3 million of the bond would be for fiber-optic cabling, HVAC projects and upgrades to roofs in the district. The school district must ask the county board to put the issue before voters, which the county board indicated it would do.
Purdue University officials approve 10-year capital plan
The board of trustees of Purdue University has approved a 10-year capital plan that outlines $1.2 billion in projects, but does not guarantee they will be funded or completed since most of the funding will have to come from the state. The board also approved planning and building of $145 million in impending projects, including a drug discovery center and a Health and Human Sciences Research Facility. Purdue President France Cordova (pictured) noted that research awards were at a record $405 million since June of last year.
Ferguson-Florissant schools to place $25M bond issue on ballot
The Ferguson-Florissant School District in Florissant, Missouri, will put a $25 million bond issue before voters in August. The funds would provide for projects in technology, energy savings and energy efficiency and support for student achievement.

A $600 million San Diego County, California, government campus is being planned in Kearny Mesa. San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts (pictured) said the project includes a new operation center and 71,000 square feet of office space and a new parking structure. The new projects will replace older structures that need repair. The funding for the project includes $215 million raised by the county for infrastructure and $209 million from lease revenue bonds.
Roberts said more than 4,000 employees will eventually work in the building. He called the project "incredibly important for the local economy." More office buildings and a replacement for Las Colinas Jail are also planned in the future.
Denver to use BABs for variety of community projects
The City of Denver will sell general obligation Build America Bonds today as part of the $550 million Better Denver program.

Highway projects in North Carolina to total $1.3 billion
Nearly $1.3 billion in highway projects are planned during the next decade in the Charlotte, North Carolina, area. That includes construction on the final segment of I-485 that will begin later this year. Among the other projects are:
$155 million to be awarded later this year for an interchange for I-485 and I-85 south of Concord Mills;
$150 million to widen to eight lanes I-85 from Bruton Smith Blvd. to NC 73;
$136 million to replace the Yadkin River bridge with a new eight-lane bridge;
$800 million for the Monroe Connector/Bypass, a toll road allowing motorists to bypass U.S. 74 in Union County.
North Carolina Transportation Secretary Gene Conti (pictured) said construction on building I-485 loop is expected to take four and one-half years. Bids for the project came in lower than expected, so the project will cost $25 million less than anticipated. The state will pay for I-485 from its urban loop fund, funding used to build outerbelts statewide.
Makeover of Cincinnati park carries $46 million cost
Historic Washington Park in the Over the Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati will soon get a $46 million facelift. Plans for the makeover and a 450-space underground parking garage were recently unveiled. Included in the project is an expansion of the park from six to eight acres, addition of a dog park and a concessions building, construction of a granite outdoor event plaza, addition of an interactive series of fountains for area children and a large civic lawn. Officials hope to put the park project out to bid by July. Revenue from the parking garage will help offset the debt for the remake of the park.
Research center proposal approved in Massachusetts
A 1.7 million-square-foot research center has been approved in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The result will be the region's largest biotechnology complex near Kendall Square. The $1 billion development will include five new buildings along with the restoration of several historic buildings.

Kentucky road plan lists 1,100 projects with $6.7B price tag
There's not enough funding to pay for all of them, but the State of Kentucky has released its 245-page road plan, which is going to the governor for his signature. The document lists more than 1,100 projects that carry a combine price tag of $6.7 billion for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the next two fiscal years.
Acting Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock (pictured) said approximately $4.1 billion is expected to be available to pay for the $6.7 billion in projects.
Texas police department bomb squad to get new robots
The Austin Police Department in Texas will get two new robots for its bomb squad. Increasing numbers of repairs to the current equipment led the department to seek new robots. The new robots will bring to six the total number held by the department. The new robots will be stronger and can perform more complex movements and can climb stairs. The mini robot currently being used will be replaced by a new unit, the older one will be retained for a backup. The two robots will cost $125,000 each and will be paid for with a federal grant. The robot also will have to respond to events in a 10-country region, including Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Llano, Burnet, Blanc, Lee, Fayette and Caldwell counties.
Brooklyn Bridge to get $500 million facelift
A $500 million makeover is upcoming for New York's Brooklyn Bridge. The 127-year-old structure will undergo a complete new paint job and repairing parts of the structure that were original when it was constructed more than 100 years ago. The rehab project is expected to take four years. Helping pay for the project is $30 million in Recovery Act funding. Other city and federal funds will make up the difference. This represents the first major upgrade to the bridge in 10 years. The new coat of paint is expected to take the entire four years. The other major update includes expanding from one to two lanes the roadways that approach the bridge in both Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Cool roofs to be required on Philadelphia buildings
Contracts should be plentiful for those installing energy-efficient reflective roofs. Philadelphia officials recently approved a law that requires all new buildings to have energy-efficient cool roofs. These roofs reflect the sun's ray back into the atmosphere and release absorbed heat. The energy savings can reduce the demand for air conditioning by 10-30 percent.
Councilman Jim Kenney (pictured), who sponsored the bill, called the use of cool roofs "a simple step to reduce energy consumption" that is "virtually cost-neutral for construction." The law will apply to all new buildings with little or no roof slope, which means it will likely only affect row houses and commercial buildings.
Oklahoma to benefit from $1 million grant
The City of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, the Greater Oklahoma City Chamber, the Oklahoma Business Roundtable and the Presbyterian Health Foundation will together match a $1 million Economic Development Administration Grant to a nonprofit. The grant will help the state and Oklahoma City to improve their support for start-up and growth-stage companies. It will fund the Oklahoma Technology Launch Program, which will be located at the Presbyterian Health Foundation Research Park in Oklahoma City.

W. Baton Rouge Parish Council to create transportation authority
The West Baton Route Parish Council is creating a parish transportation authority that will be responsible for constructing a toll road to connect La. 1 and I-10. Parish President Riley Berthelot (pictured) said there is little state or federal money available, so "we're going to try to build it as a tollway." One private investor estimated the cost of the project at approximately $35 million, said Berthelot. The remainder of the costs would be recouped through tolls for several decades. After the project was paid off, the parish could begin pocketing some of the toll funds.

New fire station in the works for East Bossier City
A new $2.5 million fire station is in the works for East Bossier City, Louisiana. Officials expect construction to begin within the next 15 months. Bossier City Fire Chief Sammy Halphen (pictured) said the growth in that area warranted the station. "We're expanding for the future needs of that area," he said.
The new station will replace a facility off Meadowview Drive. Work should begin in the next 90 days with construction expected to take a little over a year. The current station will be demolished. The funding will come from the city's capital budget.
Camille Cates Barnett (pictured) has spent nearly 25 years in city government and is currently managing director of the City of Philadelphia. Before her appointment in Philadelphia, she was Strategic Consulting Director for Public Financial Management in Washington, D.C. She began her public service career in cities such as Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Sunnyvale, California. She later was in city management positions in Houston, Dallas and Austin. She later worked with the Center for International Development at the Research Triangle Institute, one of the country's largest nonprofit contract research organizations, traveling the world counseling governments and helping develop and transition citistates in eastern Europe and Russia. In 1997, Barnett was named Washington's Chief Management Officer, serving until 1999. In January 2008, she was tapped by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter to serve as Managing Director of the city. In March of this year, Barnett announced she would resign her position with the City of Philadelphia, effective June 30. Barnett said she is resigning to move out of the public eye while she deals with the tragic death of her husband, who died in an automobile accident when she first moved to Philadelphia.
What the states are doing with stimulus funds
The Tlingit and Haida Central Council in Alaska will use its $960,000 in Recovery Act funding to expand the state's weatherization training programs and to establish a new weatherization training center in Juneau.

Two health organizations in Central Texas - Georgetown-based Lone Star Circle of Care and the Texas Association of Community Health Centers together were awarded nearly $4 million in Recovery Act funds to help them adopt electronic health records and IT systems. The funds are used to help purchase equipment and train or hire staff to use the new technology.
Almost $1 million in stimulus funds is headed to the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority to create a center in the state that will teach workers weatherization and energy efficiency practices for homes.
The State of Kansas will use $6 million in stimulus funds to send one-time payments of $400 to 15,000 poor families in the state. The funds are for families covered by the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which will help families pay for higher utility and other costs that arise during the summer.

Stimulus funds are likely for a biodigester in Morrisville, New York, that turns manure into energy. The Morrisville State College has qualified for federal funds aimed at promoting renewable energy. Scientists at the college's dairy complex are working to make the energy technology more affordable for farmers. The biodigester produces electricity and heat from organic waste, providing an inexpensive source of energy for farmers.
The State of Montana is receiving nearly $1 million to expand its weatherization training program. The funds will go to the Montana State University to expand training already offered at the school and will be used to develop more courses.

Controversial night at Coors Field ends with Charlie Blackmon double-checking a critical replay
By Nick Groke Sep 8, 2018 9
DENVER — By routine, Charlie Blackmon takes batting practice late into the night after nearly every game, working out his glitches and frustrations, trying to end his day feeling aligned at the plate, if not exhausted.
On Friday, he took a detour. The visiting Dodgers had just wriggled to a 4-2 victory over the Rockies to start a critical three-game series at Coors Field with the National League West lead at stake well into September. And Blackmon's six-pitch strikeout in the ninth inning was wearing on him.
"I went and looked at it immediately," Colorado's center fielder said.
Blackmon was displeased. The Rockies have not held first place in the West this late in the season since 1995. And in the moment, with the stakes raised and pinch-runner Raimel Tapia standing on first base with no outs, Blackmon knew that home plate umpire Andy Fletcher had missed three calls on pitches out of the strike zone. He argued the calls at the plate and loudly.
But he wanted to be doubly sure.
"I try really hard at what I do," Blackmon said. "So anything that is close or where there is something controversial that happens, I go look at it. Because there's something to be learned there. People who want to be good at what they do, they do that.
"And I would expect that from everybody on a big-league baseball field."
Blackmon's subtle sub-tweeting of Fletcher, so to speak, did not offer any consolation. Dodgers lefty

Crowded House Sauvignon Blanc is a fun, fresh, lively and crisp wine. A true reflection of the Marlborough region, it has zesty acidity and is well balanced with fruit sweetness. Tropical notes of lime and pineapple and citrus fruit flavours are interwoven with gentle herbaceousness. Refreshing with mouth watering acid and a fine minerality.

Tecumseh preps for tighter budget in 2018-19
TECUMSEH — The Tecumseh City Council had a look at the proposed 2018-19 budget Monday.
City manager Dan Swallow gave a presentation for the council members, giving an overview of the city's financial situation, which is more challenging than last year.
Swallow projected revenues will remain flat, or fall slightly, at $5.44 million. While Tecumseh's tax base grew over the last year, it outpaced the inflation rate, which means the city is required to roll back its millage rate to abide by the Headlee Amendment and Proposal A.
"That means, certainly, people get a slightly smaller tax bill when it comes to property taxes, but we get slightly smaller revenue when it comes to tax revenue," Swallow said.
The city's state personal property tax reimbursement also saw a 63 percent drop from $199,733 for 2016-17 to $73,622 for 2017-18. Swallow said this sharp decline came as a surprise and no explanation was provided by the Michigan Treasury. Swallow said the city also contacted the Michigan Municipal League (MML) to assist them in obtaining an explanation.
"We're not the only ones this happened to and in talking to MML, they're trying to get to the bottom of this for us, as well as a few other communities, as to what's happening," he said.
While the city's revenues are tied to inflation, its expenses are not and are projected to increase by about 3 percent. The preliminary budget predicted next year's expenses to be about $5.7 million. This includes employee cost-of-living adjustments, increased cost of contracted services such as trash removal and negotiations with the city's two unions.
The cost of employee health plans also is expected to rise between 6 and 8 percent, making it likely the city will have to reassess its health care plans.
But the costs Swallow said were the biggest stumbling blocks were increases in what the city would have to spend and save for capital expenses such as repairing city-owned facilties and buildings. Many of these expenses had been put on hold in leaner budget years and no longer can be pushed back.
"I've asked Krieghoff-Lenawee to provide us with a proposal to go through each of our city buildings and give us a more prioritized list of what should be worked (on) first, so that we are being ... most effective and only hitting those priority projects and things that are maybe coming up in the near future," Swallow said.
Equipment replacement is another large expense the city faces. This includes purchasing and maintaining new vehicles, police and firefighting equipment, as well as maintaining or purchasing vehicles and equipment for the department of public works.
Mayor Jack Baker said the city should consider consolidating services with surrounding communities or asking them to assist in contributing on mutually beneficial equipment such as fire trucks, which often are called to assist in surrounding municipalities. Baker also proposed leasing equipment such as front loaders for the DPW.
One bright spot in the budget presentation was that the city has amassed a reserve general fund balance of 35 percent of it's budget — more than the recommended 25 percent.
"This very well may be a year that we're thankful that we have that 35 percent fund balance reserve," Baker said. "That's a credit to this council and that's a credit to you (Swallow). And while we certainly do not like to dip into that, unless it's an absolute necessity, we do have that."
"By any means, we're not in crisis mode, but there are some bigger expenses out there that we need to start thinking about how we're going to fund those," Swallow said.
Over the next week, department heads will fill out line items in their department budget requests. These will be compiled into a draft budget and provided to council members and public on Feb. 28. The council will have a budget workshop on March 12 to review the detailed draft budget.
Swallow said he aims to present the council with the final budget recommendation on April 16 and have the council vote to approve it at a May 7 meeting. The city's fiscal year begins July 1.
A copy of the preliminary budget can be found at the city's website, www.mytecumseh.org.

Balaenoptera acutorostrata
• The minke whale is the smallest of the rorqual whales
• The life span of the minke whale is believed to be about 50 years
The minke whale is a type of baleen whale that lives in offshore waters. Minke whales occur in all oceans, though they are rarely observed in the tropics. The slender and streamlined body is counter-shaded-black to dark gray on top, white below. Males can reach approximately 26 to 31 feet (8 to 9 meters), while females average 27 to 33 feet (8 to 10 meters).
Minke whales feed on small schooling fish and krill. They will also eat copepods in certain areas. Breeding typically occurs in the summer months. Sexual maturity is reached at 7 or 8 years and the gestation period is 10 to 11 months. Females reproduce typically once every two years. Calves are 10 feet (3 meters) at birth.
To learn more about minke whales and their relatives visit the Whales & Dolphins Room at the Aquarium.
