Council Minutes of 4/17/84 -2- the City has no record of receiving. In 1982 this amounted to $10,713 and in 1983 amounted to $2,240. City shows about $500 for last year; RTA agreed to take that out of the audit. These figures increase the cost per mile and that it the reason for the City's concern. Also, in reviewing RTA records, they showed things such as toilet paper, paper towels, etc. which the City does not buy through RTA. 3) Westshore Cable Television has issued its financial statement and it has been reviewed by Finance Director. City is still owed $182.81, mainly due to rounding errors, and this check will be issued along with the first quarter - 1984, check. This financial statement does conform with discussions held last year and shows not only the receipts and expenditures of the entire partnership but also breaks them down per Westlake and North Olmsted. They did have a loss which was not completely unexpected. 4) With respect to the $5,315,000 note recently passed, City has closed with McDonald and Company at a rate of 6.68% on a six month note. Will be meeting with Council, McDonald and Company, Dalton, Dalton, Newport and Squire, Sanders and Dempsey next Monday on the sewer project and will finalize all the financing on it. Has had meetings with Dalton, Dalton, Newport, Squire, Sanders and Dempsey and the Army Corp of Engineers on Phase III of the sewer. project; have reviewed the contract, City's obligations, obligations within City departments and are ready to proceed after meeting with Council. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Has received a ruling from Judge Bell, in favor of the City, in the Dinunzio Case. If he feels that he is aggrieved further, Mr. Dinunzio has the right to appeal to the Sixth Circuit Court. 2) Has sent to Council a memo with. respect to a reported case out of Illinois dealing with 1983 actions. Had similar cases in the City of North Olmsted a number of years ago. In the past several months, has seen opinions coming from counsel, other than the Law Department, regarding the potential liability of the City. The North Olmsted Law Department has proved-that it knows how to try a case and knows what the issues are. Would like to point out again that when the City has an elected official who has reviewed these issues, consideration has to be given to the fact that he has tried these cases, knows what they are about, and when there is any potential liablility to the City, the advice has to come from the North Olmsted Law Department and not outsiders. Thinks the problem the City had regarding the Rini property has been resolved but should be kept in mind because when such problems occur they have to be looked at twice. The City of North Olmsted could never sustain a loss of $29,000,000 as was reported in the Illinois case. Mr. Bierman, Chairman Long Range Planning Committee reported: 1) Attended the Public Hearing for CDBG money at the Senior Citizens Center on April 5th.
