Mr. Boyle will run an interim balance sheet for the committee, which will review. the line item sheet, at the committee meeting tomorrow night. The meeting of November 18th was recessed until Wednesday, November 20th at 7:30 P.M. Mrs. Saringer stated that she did not agree with the Finance Committee's de- cision with respect to the Drotter request for $300 for a moral claim. If there had been preventative maintenance, the basement would not have flooded; feels the Drotters should be reimbursed. Mr. Wilamosky stated that was also the Finance Committee's concern: if there was apparent or presumed negligence and whether it was a wide-spread problem. The committee was satisfied, based on the information received, that there was only one call from Clifford with respect to this problem and that was from the c+~mpls~nant:who submitted the request for damages. Mr. O'Grady, who discussed the problem with Mr. Drotter, said that Mr. Drotter told him the city had admitted they were negligent, referred him to the Law Director who told him to submit a moral claim. Mr, Corrigan stated that with his professional background as a casualty claims man, he would not have admitted liability on behalf of his client, the taxpayers of the City of North Olmsted. The city does have a preventative maintenance program; the cause of the manhole filling up is unknown; feels it would be a bad precedent to honor this claim. Mr. Corrigan conferenced this claim with Law Director Gareau who did not see any legal liability on the part of the city in this particular claim. Audience participation: Mr. Wade Leonard, 5251 East Park Drive asked if there was any additional in- formation with respect to the lighting at Halleen's. President Boehmer responded that he has called and talked to Mr. Carl Halleen but really needs to talk to Mr. Charles Halleen. As soon as he can, will get back to Mr. Leonard. Since Mr. Gareau was out of town and not in attendance, Mr. Leonard will wait to ask what his investigation into the ramifications of the court order has uncovered.
