Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Attended a pre-trial conference yesterday with respect to the City of North Qlmsted versus the American Federation of State and Municipal Employees. Case dates back about five years .when the city had lost an arbitration case; appealed that case, even though it was non-appealable, under a state code provision. The dispute was not resolved yesterday and has been set for thirty days to see if it can be worked out. 2) Has been in contact with Washington with respect to the Revenue Sharing Case; they preferred to accept the modified agreement, which should end that problem. 3) A judgment, in favor of the City of North Olmsted, has been entered in the Ben Wright Case. The full amount of the bid price is to be paid within 90 days, otherwise the entire accumulated interest will also be due at that time. Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) City has received the approximate local government fund records from the county. Next year, will be receiving $517,000, an increase of approximately $20,000 over the anticipated figure for 1985. The federal budget was passed in August; they did fund Entitlement Period 17, which begins in October of 1985, with no provision for Entitlement Period 18, so the city will be receiving revenue sharing of approximately $230,000 during the next calendar year. 2) The official statement on bonding is to be released this Friday by Squire, Sanders and Dempsey and sent to Moody's. With the Fair Labor Standards Act, there is a provision about not being able to carry over overtime. It must be paid in the pay period following when it was earned. Finance Director has been waiting for this to be overruled, which was supposed to be by October 15th. Finance De- partment is accumulating information to make provisions to pay up all the accumu- lated overtime which amounts to between $70,000 and $100,000. This amount has not been appropriated as yet.
