y Council Minutes of 4/16/85 -2- Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Law suit, City of North Olmsted versus Fortuna Valore, has hit a snag. Mr. Valore is now deceased and Law Director feels it is too early to determine whether or not his estate would have sufficient funds to pay the amount the city is seeking because Mr. Valore was a relatively young man with a young family. Does not feel it is appropriate to even approach the question until some time in the future. 2) Consistent with what was reported at the last council meeting, Mr. Gareau has given President Boehmer all the data received with respect to his investigation of what happened to the notice of voluntary recognition of the Fire Department; assumes this will be distributed to council and will be acted on appropriately. 3) Legislation with respect to an easement regarding Great Northern Theatre will be introduced this evening. After redrafting three or four times, Law Director is now satisf ied with the language and considers it appropriate. Great Northern will assume all responsibility for repair and maintenance over and above what the city would have spent with an "open cut". President Boehmer asked that the Clerk make copies of the data submitted by Law Director Gareau for distribution to the entire council. Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) Received a call from Mr. Peter Ross of Mc- Donald and Company advised that the city has just received its seventh straight MIG 1 rating; there is a note ordinance on the agenda tonight for the sewer facility renovation. Will be meeting with Mr. Ross and Mr. Kuhn to plan a bonding process for the year. Right now, would like to bond all existing notes coming due September 22nd, an amount of about three and a half million dollars. The five million dollar issue that is to be rolled over tonight comes due in November. 2) County Auditor has been contacted about the amended certificate; there were a few problems with. it and a new one should be received this week. 3) County has forwarded a list of 339 delinquent parcels of real estate, in a range from $2.00 to $27,000, which is an extremely low percentage of delinquencies. 4) With respect to the audit mentioned. at the last council meeting, bids were re- ceived by the State Auditor on Monday and will be opened and reviewed on Thursday. Hopefully, agreement will be reached before the end of April. Mr. Bierman, Chairman Long Range Planning Committee reported: 1) Joint meeting of Long Range Planning and Recreation Committees was held on April 9th; in the interest of time, will defer his report to Mrs. Petrigac.
