Twill be receiving money by the 15th of the following month as opposed to waiting .5 /6 months. Under the old plan, they accumulate this money, take 3% off the top for delinquencies. They stopped doing this in December when they tried the monthly plan and now have agreed to stay on a monthly plan and reimburse the City the 3%. It amounted to $93,752 f_or North Olmsted. They reduced that by $65,073.46 for delinquencies so tae received $28,678.88 in the Township. Without running through the figures, they ran into the hole; their delinquencies surpassed their 3%.

Interestingly, they had accounts receivable in there and accounts receivable for this city were $167,000, which we still have coming in - $7,800 for the Township, .,..ems,. . .: 6'M~a'.~ :r.,r,~Fky:`ar~m!i9a'{~F ;. . .~
