Regular Council Meeting Minutes 11-17-08 Page 7 to do this year. There are hard costs we pay them for nominal work. Do we put it off for a year? Is there a problem doing that? Council President Buckholtz said we may not need to do that year if there is going to be all of these changes. Mayor Rinker suggested since we are making all of these changes, maybe we should wait until next year. Mr. Marrelli said with regard to the ordinances passed in 2008 we could make copies and punch holes in them and put them in the book. Council President Buckholtz asked how many changes we have done in 2008 that would be affected. Mayor Rinker said for them just. to access it and do any modification, there's probably a hard overhead cost, like an automatic flat fee. He is not sure. Dr. Parker said it seems like they have this magic dollar number that it does not make a whole difference. That is his impression, that they have this fee they charge regardless. Mary Beth did look into it and you wonder where the cost is. Mayor Rinker requested that we hold off this year with Walter Drane unless there is some compelling reason not to. We can worry about it next year when we have a lot of revisions. Dr. Parker asked if there are any legal problems with that. Mr. Dieinert replied that they don't make substantive changes anyways. They would never review what building is doing, they just codify them. Many cities do it every other year anyway. Mr. Marrelli asked if they just feed the new ordinances into the book. Mr. Diemert said they reprint the pages. That might cause multiple page changes and index changes. Mayor Rinker said that typically when he goes on line he will look to see what the effective date is. When in doubt, he will check with either the law department or the building department to get an update anyway. Not everyone is going to that, it's more of a service for people, but Mayor Rinker said it is going to be an incremental change. Mrs. Mills said that Mrs. Betsa always gives us an updated list of the resolutions and ordinances that we passed in the year. You could pick it up from that. Mr. Mai7•elli said when we pass an ordinance that pertains to anything he is involved in, he just photocopies it, punch holes in it and sticks it in the book. Dr. Parker asked if we are able to update our files on disk? Anything that is new or changed is updated by Mary Beth. Drane does not make any changes. Can we do that with our disk and just recopy it with the new changes? Mrs. Betsa will look into that. Planning and Zoniniz - Mr. Marquardt reported that Planning and Zoning met on November 3`a and talked about gas and oil wells. They meet again on Thursday to further discuss this item. Mayor Rinlcer said this should be, pardon the pun, the last gas. Council, if there is anything you think you should send to the Committee, please do so. Mayor Rinker will try to put together a memo of what he sees from our vantage point. We will blessedly relieve P&Z of any further anguish dealing with this. Mr. Marquardt said he obtained a couple of interesting things on oil and gas wells while attending the Ohio Planning Commission that should be incoiporated into Thursday's meeting. Council President Buckholtz said we will discuss this in caucus. Recreation Board - Mr. Marrie reported that Recreation Board will be meeting on Wednesday to evaluate the Halloween party. It was a big success for the kids. Mrs. Mills has already covered the Santa Ride. We will be reviewing pool charges of the surrounding areas. In December we will make a recommendation to Council.
