Council Minutes of 5/7/86 -6- Miscellaneous Business: Mr. Wilamosky scheduled a Finance Committee Meeting for Monday, May 12th, at 7:15 P.M., and requested Mayor, Finance Director, Service Director and City Engineer to be in attendance. Agenda will include the legislation referred by the Chair to the Finance Committee this evening as well as discussion of the potential sale and purchase of property by the city. Mr. Wilamosky discussed Service Director Noble's memo to council with respect to the hiring of two new employees in the Service Department. His concern is that these hirings put the wage appropriations in jeopardy because the money appropriated only covered the basic required hourly wages of existing employees. Mayor Petrigac responded that the one person's wages were covered in the existing appropriations since he is replacing a person who had died and whose wages had been appropriated already for 1986. Mr. Wilamosky requested that the Mayor provide a detailed list of Service Department employees, including hourly and salaried supervisors; seniority dates; hourly rates; and the administration's estimated salary requirements for fiscal year 1986 for all these employees. Mr. Wilamosky also discussed a letter from Building Commissioner Spino which addressed the purpose, function and image of the Building Department; questioned whether this letter was put out at this time due to local news media reports covering a recent report of a property owners problem with his builder. He feels that in this particular case something is going to have to be done in the area of building and code violations and enforcement of the codes; someone must take the responsibility. Mayor Petrigac responded that the admin- istration did do a very entailed, detailed investigation into what had trans- pired with this property from the day it was built. In the opinion of the city's legal counsel, Mr. Dan Ryan, the City of North Olmsted has no role to play at this point; will forward a copy of Mr. Ryan's letter to every member of council. Mr. Wilamosky continued the discussion with some further questions of the Mayor,- at which point President Woerpel suggested that Mr. Wilamosky discuss Mr. Spino's letter with Mr. Spino personally; then contact the Mayor, the Law Department and the Building Department if he has any further questions with respect to the specific incident; did ,not want to take any more of council's time in discussion of something that has already been taken care of. President Woerpel ruled there would be no further discussion of this topic this evening; Mr. Wilamosky challenged the Chair's ruling.; second by Mr. Tallon. Roll call on the Chair's ruling that no.further discussion would be allowed on this particu- lar subject: Affirmative vote: Lackey, O'Grady, Saringer.
