<br /> <br />Regular Council Meeting <br />1/16/95 <br />Page Three <br />(a very big project we are doing in conjunction with Highland Heights) and another : <br />Worton Park. Mayor Rinker said he and Bill Buckholtz attended a meeting where the <br />committee members voted on these dollars. At the last minute, there was an effort to <br />make a rules change. We argued very strongly to modify (we hit upon a compromise) <br />on how they would affect the point spread. As it turned out, after the voting was done, <br />we were advised the following day that we were on the bubble. We had gotten <br />encouragement, but we still hadn't gotten the final word. As late as Friday, we tried to <br />get some word to confirm because computers had been down for a number of days <br />before. Mayor Rinker said he still did not get word. Today, Steve Hovancsek's office <br />received word notification which was sent out Friday the 13th. Both of the project <br />where we had applied were accepted just as our applications were made. For the North <br />County Trunk Sewer, that means that we will get a grant of $1,850,000 (to be split 50-50 <br />with Highland Heights.) There is a zero interest loan of $830,000. For Worton Park, we <br />had requested a grant of $275,000. That has been approved; and, a zero percent interest <br />loan of $550,000. For a 20-year assessment that an average home owner faces for that <br />project, this will mean a difference of over $10,000 those property owners will have to <br />pay for assessments that will be levied when the sewers come down the street. These <br />are very expensive projects. These sewer lines are coming through; the EPA is literally <br />forcing them on us. This is the one way that we can defray substantial costs. It took a <br />real lobbying effort; this was a community effort. Phil Brett did a yeoman's job of <br />working with County Planning Commission. Everybody was involved. It is real <br />satisfying to know that we were heard and that we received funding for two <br />applications. <br />1995 Appointments <br />POSITION NAME LENGTH OF TERM <br />ANIMAL WARDEN Brian Miller 1 year <br />Mr. Basile, seconded by Mr. Ferrante, made a motion to approve the Mayor's <br />appointment of Brian Miller as Animal Warden for a term of one year. <br />ROLL CALL: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None <br />Motion Carried <br />Appointment Confirmed <br />Mayor Rinker administered the oath of office to Brian Miller. <br />ENGINEER Stephen Hovancsek 1 year <br />Tom Cappello
