Would appreciate council's prompt approval on the re-appointment of Mr. Ron Bugala and Mr. Bob Gomersall to the Board of Zoning Appeals since their first meeting of 1988 will be the evening after the first council meeting of 1988 and without confirmation, they will not have a quoram to hold their meeting. 4) Attended a meeting, sponsored by NOACA, with the state legislature, to dis- cuss methods to distribute funds generated through the passage of Issue 2. Also discussed was the Inspection Maintenance Program being mandated to reduce automobile emissions to a level whereby air quality standards are obtained and maintained. Beginning January 1st, 1988, all cars 1980 or newer, or a truck under 8,500 pounds, must have the emission system checked for lead content. Cost will be $5.00 and certificate must be obtained in order for the purchase of license plate tags. An inspection can be obtained in North Olmsted at the Sunoco Station at Clague and Lorain Roads. 5) Mayor and Members of Council have received the Ohio Traffic Highway Safety Review Team Evaluation which will be reviewed by Mayor, Safety Director and Police Chief Marsh. 6) Several. excellent candidates submitted resumes for the open position on the Civil Service Commission; Mayor has recommended the appointment of Madeline Berkshire for the term January 1st through December 31st, 1988. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) This morning, argued the city's position on the Romp Rezoning Case in the Eighth Appellate District Court; results should be known in the next month or so. 2) Pre-trial was held in the Halleen Case this past week; issues relative to the lighting are trying to be resolved; is confident that in the near future, all problems will be resolved and will keep council advised; another pre- trial is scheduled in approximately a month. 3) Also, attended a pre-trial on behalf of the city in the Civil Service Case dealing with Newman. There is a big dispute in this case as to whether or not they want to introduce additional evidence. Law Director has found in the past that there is a iot of confusion because the courts are not really familiar with which way to proceed in Civil Service Cases. Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) Has finally received from the county the city real estate tax estimates for 1988. It is $39,493 higher than what was asked for, spread over the seven .funds, so obviously there are no big changes. The only real revelation is in the 3 mils passed several years ago by the voters to off-set some of the sewer bill; it is now down to 2.9 mils and that is a savings of about $35,000 to the residents of North Olmsted. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met December 10th with all members in attendance as well as Mayor Petrigac, Finance Director Boyle, Directors Cunningham and Noble, and President Saringer. Committee discussed Ordinance No. 87-119 which authorizes the. administration to • bid for 250 tons of cinders; committee has no objection,. however an amendment will be required to change the name of the president of council to read "Janet A. Saringer", instead of Dwayne R. Woerpel. ~,~~. _.
