<br />Minutes of Special Council Meeting of August 13, 1985, were approved.
<br />President Boehmer announced that Ordinance No. 85-99, an ordinance authorizing and
<br />directing the cancellation of special assessments of certain permanent parcels, and
<br />declaring an emergency, had been added to this evening's agenda.
<br />Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Although the City successfully fought the Zurawski
<br />Case in Common Pleas Court, an appeal has been filed in the Eighth Appellate District
<br />Court; the second time it has been on appeal.
<br />2) A sixty page brief in the Cooper Case has been filed in the Sixth Circuit Court.
<br />3) The D'Auito Case, which goes back to the sixties and concerns an easement, will
<br />be tried tomorrow.
<br />4) Law Director has filed a motion to stay, with the Sixth Circuit Court, with re-
<br />spect to a notice received from the revenue sharing office in Washington which in-
<br />dicated that because North Olmsted lost the Cooper Case, City funds were in jeopardy.
<br />Three steps have been taken: a modification of the agreement sent to the city by
<br />Washington with respect to compliance; filing of a motion to stay in the Sixth Circuit
<br />Court; at the same time indicating that any of the funds received for revenue sharing
<br />were not at all used in the bus company, which would be an absolute defense.
<br />Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) Rocky River Court first quarter report indicates
<br />a deficit of $16,193.94 due from the City of North Olmsted. This payment need not be
<br />made at this point; will wait for all four quarters. Of the 5,170 cases heard in
<br />Rocky River Municipal Court, 1,700 were from North Olmsted.
<br />2) Has received payment from West Shore Cable Company in the amount of $14,000.
<br />3) The Annual PERS financial reports have been received. PERS has advised that on
<br />June 24th, 1985, the House Ways and Means Committee adopted a proposal, submitted by
<br />the Health Subcommittee, that stated that any public employee not covered under the
<br />medical portion of the PERS is subject to Medicare. This will cost 1.457 to the
<br />employee and an additional 1.457 to the City of North Olmsted.
<br />4) Will not be going to Moody's to have the city bonds rated; over the past four years
<br />Finance.Department has been forwarding data on a quarterly basis and Moody's believes
<br />they have enough information to make their determination.
<br />5) The last Regional Income Tax report shows city's collections just over $2,000,000;
<br />a 10.587 increase over 1984.
