These were preliminary discussions only; further discussions will take place with the new administration subsequent to December 3rd election. 3) With respect to Revenue Sharing, the Statement of Assurances for Entitlement Period 17 has been mailed and city is now a part of Revenue Sharing for 1986; city should be receiving approximately $230,000; this is the last entitlement period funded and authorized by Congress; next year is supposed to end Revenue Sharing. 4) Attended the budget hearings with the County accompanied by Mr. Paul Gareau.

There will be a larger and substantial decrease in 1987 when the sewer funding takes effect. 5) The Auditor of State issued an opinion that no independent auditing firm can. audit in excess of three years of any particular municipality. This is .the North Olmsted contract right now so it will have no bearing other than the city will be restricted from using Arthur Young and Company in the fourth year. Will have to take bids from other companies but this does not present a problem. 6) On behalf of the Mayor and himself, extended congratulations to the North Olmsted Soccer Team who is now Number One in the state. ~- i
