It is on this evening's agenda. Ronald Wynne (Finance) - I am expecting final comments some time this week from our auditors on the 2019 audit report. Once those are all cleaned up, then we will submit that report to the State Auditor's Office for final approval. Once it is approved, we will post it on the website. Chief Eugene Carcioppolo (Fire) — No need to thank us for our services. That's what we are here for. I did want to report on basically everything the Mayor said. It's an ongoing process and the Cuyahoga County Fire Chiefs are obviously closely involved with that on behalf of all three hospital systems, the medical directors talking every day. I talked to our medical director at 6:15 tonight because as you can imagine, all of the doctors are busy. All of that is being monitored. As this is changing, we are changing policies and procedures to go along with the latest recommendations. I believe we will be okay and are working towards getting to the end. I also wanted to report that the Civil Service Commission met on March 90'. They ended up extending our entry level exam for 6 additional months. That's the last extension that can be made. They elected to do the Regional Test with the other 6 departments in the area. Mayfield Heights, Pepper Pike, Lyndhurst, South Euclid, Highland Heights and Richmond Heights are giving one test. They are going to try that to see how it pans out. It's a way to save money and get a larger pool of candidates to sit for the examination. Anthony J. Coyne (Law) — At the appropriate time I will address an ordinance that's in your packet, 2020-08, an emergency ordinance regarding open public meetings and to provide the Mayor with emergency spending authority during the COVID-19 pandemic. So once the agenda is amended and that ordinance is available to be introduced, I will address it at that time.
