Discussed the Treatment Plant Fund - its expenditures as well as its revenues. To date, City has received revenue receipts in the amount of $1,149,769, less 3% which is withheld by the City of Cleveland for delinquents. This ef£ectively reduces the collection dtwn.somewhere in the area of approximately $900,000. The City of C1eveland still owes North Olmsted $12,000 from 1982 for delinquents. Iaill continue to pursue this with the Finance Director as well as Law Director to establish the City's rights to reclaim monies. Discussed with Mr. Crider, fits priorities with respect to capital items. Originally appropriated $98,000 for capital items at the Treatment Plant. In 1982, with the understanding that the Treatment P1ant Fund would be reimbursed for services rendered for the Dover Center Pro,ject, Council loaned the Treatment Plant an amount of $58,000. Will be making recomnendatio.n to transfer that money back from the Treatment Plant Fund witfi the understanding that we would reimburse the Treatment Plant Fund in the amount of $7,000/$7,200. However, with the reduction of funds available to the Treatment Plant, is concerned tfiat there is insufficient revenues to move ahead at thfs time with capital items in the amount of $98,000, Mr. Crider indicated his priorities with respect to equipment, to keep the plant funet3onal, to keep it operating, and to continue to provide high level service.
