Council Minutes of 2/19/85 -2- 2) In reviewing the federal budget, it appears that the president has asked that October, 1985, be the last revenue sharing payment and that the three year plan be reduced to two years with 1985 being the last year. Legislation is presently before the Congress as well as the House to extend it to the third year. It would not be a bad idea, according to the Ohio Municipal League, if_ the cities addressed the problem through its own senators and congressmen. Other then through lobbying groups, no efforts are being made by municipalities stating their concern over the loss of revenue sharing. 3) City has received a status report from RTA for 1984. They bought Brecksville Road Transit Incorporated for $300,000; received $39,000 in fares and $70,000 in sales tax. 51% of their income was through sales tax; this is a major sales tax city. Mr. Rademaker, Chairman Environmental Control Committee reported: 1) Environmental Control Committee met on February 1?_th to consider Ordinance No. 85-5 which calls for a connection for approximately 11 acres of property in Olmsted Township into North Olmsted's sanitary sewer system. All members of the committee were in attendance as well as Service Director Corrigan and City Engineer Schaller. Committee's concern was basically whether or not this connection would affect the treating capacity of the Treatment Plant in any way. Engineer Schaller advised that the increase in capacity would be very negligible. This tie-in would not in any way jeopardize the sewer or treatment capacity. The property owners would have to pay the tap-in fee; there would not be any maintenance cost increase to the City of North Olmsted. This cost would be paid by Cuyahoga County. The Treatment Plant now functions at about 50% of capacity. Committee has no objection to Ordinance No. 85-5.
