Council N,inutes of 3-11-71 ??- would this -mnrceyy cosae- #rvvt3'- -Yaus- thc?-P?P?s-'?i1l.pay the burden. M-j^::•;_r.y of Che money you would p3y to the Stata would be allocated to Clevel.ana, southern Ohio, and not i:etumed to North Olmsted. This has been time and time again. Result would be a substantial loss to North Ao receive the maneq sc?seecne mot pay for it, and comrAMities like Norta Csmsted will always pay far more then their fair share tMat they recef,ve. if aclditional taxes axe levi.ed against buaimsses or corpox :tiaus to raise fuads, the cost is passtd oa to eonsumers in the end - pou wi11 pPy for the increased prices. Ko satter which waq it ia approsehed it will come out of your pocket. IC wauld obviatnly be politically expedient to vote against suah an incre"o and wauld be a popular thing to do. It would be a favorable attitude to displaq far re-slection. My job here is to act in aad to do what I bel3eve is in the best 7.ong range intereat of the City regardlesa of aa election. I believe North plseted must face the iesue now and have to do our share tawards reduc3ng pollution and improvinS our ecology. Mr. Grady'e comments: Z sm goiag to vOte negative. I feel that the Parkvisw and 91msted Townst?i.p contracts should be reasgot#.ated first, not after the fact and then perhaps it is not renegotiable. We should f irs t change the apartment complex c'harging sys tem. dur Finet?ciml ddvisor recommends a system caZi multi-minimum charge. I see ao appsrent need fox it to be emergency legislation. I think it should go along its normgi course and give people normsl cpportunitp to give constructive criticism of whatever happens. I do nvt think the State requires it to be etaergency legislatiaa. If this were to run its normal course, would be v^oted on in four weeks. Do not think contr8ctors will get upset and nat be intereated because we are four weeks 1ate. DesigsY of the plant has to take into accamt a lot of growth and it takes into account, too, a lot of multi-unit structures that will appear in the Cfty. This is partly d+se to the fact that apartnecits are becomi.ng nure pogul.ar today than housing - prevalent in Che country. I favor $ alcwdotm in ffiulti-unit structures. Gf.ty cannot hecome Cop heavy in high ri.ses. Earergency legislation angers citisens and hss an adverse effect an other maaep issues - for instance, the school issue. Pollution fi.ght is in the infancy stage• We should expand anly ss we are needed to the miaimem required bq the State; do it in steps sad then oux pollutiaa equiguveat wi11 ga alang ia steps. As we add more to the plant there will he more scsphisticsted poilution equipmoaC an the market. If we have a large glsat with a certain type of equipowt that has just been i.ntrodueed and is required tadaq - later cra we auay have the expense of taking away the equipment put on the entire plant aa?d rtplacing it with sameth3ng better, probably becauae the State would td11 us We would have to. The State has not oxdei^ed aa expansion to 9 milliaa gallvas per day. I don't thiiak they have ordered ezpaneion to anq certain gallou. The sewers are overlaaded - hut we caretinue ta isaue buildirtg permits. If the averloading is ao serious, maybe mY idea eaxlier this year fcr a partial slawdcxra on building Was nat a foolish idaa. I feel that if we can sccomplish ador control and a ndnim= eupansicYn, we should be satisfied with thmt. Progress at any coat is aot pragress.. 2 think in the future we could fiave in this county or neighbcring county a central facilitq for this disposal. Perheps thfs could come slong i£ countq gvverament ccrmes alcng. It msight be that if we expanded with4ut graaats it still m3ght be leae exposive than doing it with grants ber.ausa wfien Yau build `ri.th gxents ycu ha've to fill manp xequirements. I da want to camaamt I am not vatin$ "no" for a pcrpul.arity
