Council's desire to be more specific with the language in this Ordinance and have it state that this contracting authority is for the demolition of the hospital as well as abatement and site preparation as well as maintaining the $500,000 in professional services related to Lakewood Hospital and that amendment was made. In subsequent conversation I had with Director Butler, he advised that we specify demolition, hazardous material abatement and site prep in the Ordinance. There was a motion and second. All members voted in favor of recommending adoption of Ordinance 43 -17A. We then moved onto discussion of Ordinance 31 -18. Director Pae explained that this is the appropriations ordinance that accompanies Ordinance 43 -17A. All members voted in favor of recommending adoption of that Ordinance. Resolution 9007 -18 pertains to the property tax budget. The City passes a similar ordinance to this each year. If the City can certify an estimate to the County then the County can advance that amount to the City. The Resolution allows the City to get its property tax revenues in a timely manner. A motion was unanimously agreed to to recommend adoption of that resolution. Ordinance 9008 -18 is similar in that it certifies to the County that the City's millage is to remain the same as in years past. That Resolution was unanimously agreed to for recommendation for adoption: Finally, Resolution 9006 -18 pertains to the property tax budget. Again, this is a perennial resolution. The City estimates the property tax based on our millage and submits that estimate to the County. A motion was made and seconded to recommend adoption of this Resolution. And that was unanimously agreed to. We deferred consideration of Ordinance 44 -17A which is to incorporate a proposed small business program into that Ordinance. We will take it up in Finance Committee in advance of our next Council meeting so that we can have this voted upon in advance of Council's recess. That concludes my report. Motion by Mr. O'Leary, seconded by Mr. Anderson to receive and file the oral report. Motion passed. All members voted yea. 6. RESOLUTION NO. 9006 -18 — A RESOLUTION to take effect immediately provided it receives the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the members of Council, or otherwise to take effect and be in force after the earliest period allowed by law, approving the Tax Budget of the City of Lakewood, Ohio for the year 2019, and authorizing the filing of same with the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Officer. Motion by Mr. O'Leary, seconded by Mr. Anderson to adopt Resolution 9006 -18. Motion passed. All members voted yea.
