Musial, Mayor Feb. 26, 2004 Memo To: Record From: Mayor Musial If'` " ! Re: Ordinance Nos. 2004-04 & 2004-05 Referenced Ordinances have been returned to the Clerk of Council unsigned. It is to be noted that I have no objection to the positioning of the newly named "Network Administrator" within the Department of Personnel and Administrative Services. A troubling action although not significant enough to warrant a veto or not signing referenced Ordinances is that yet another administrative function has been initiated by the legislative branch of the City of North Olmsted without consultation with, and advise and consent of the Mayor. Ordinance No. 2004-02 was introduced, which provided for a ninety day time period to replace the outgoing Commissioner and at the same time ha.ve the ability to contract with an Electronic Data Specialist firm on an as need basis at a cost not to exceed $15,000. Objections were raised by Council in that a specific firm was not identified, however I would have surmised that Council would have the confidence in the administration to use proper judgment to select a firm able to do the job. It is to be noted that subsequently it was learned that an Electronic Data Specialist firm can be placed under contract for a solving a specific problem on a purchase order basis. Not enough time has elapsed to determine whether or not the workloads imposed upon the "Network Administrator" can be handled by one person. Therefore I have concerns in the reduction of personnel in the Division of Electronic Data Processing (renamed Division of Information Systems) from two individuals to one individual. cc: All of Council All Directors File "Together We Can Make A Difference"
