t Council Minutes of 11/17/87 -6- Audience participation: Bill Cunningham, Tax Administrator for the City of North Olmsted, addressed ;:~ Council with respect to not authorizing RITA to pursue delinquent tax payers ~` through court action for collection of taxes. Mr. Cunningham stated that he has NEVER talked to Mr. Chips or ANYONE ELSE from RITA who advised him about any kind of a legal program. He DID talk to Craig Chenicki, the Auditor handling the North Olmsted accounts, last July or August, who explained what could be done. It was decided at that time, after he discussed it with his superiors at RITA, that the city would hold off any further action until after the subpoena program, which started yesterday and will continue until next Tues- day. The collection would then be evaluated and further action discussed at that time. Joseph Corrigan, 6369 Brighton Drive, spoke again with respect to Issue 24 and the involvement of city personnel. Is not satisfied with Service Director Noble's report to council; feels that his complaint was not handled by Mr. Noble in a cogent manner but led to a personal attack on Mr. Corrigan; finds Mr. Noble's report offensive and libelous. Believes it to be a case of "kill the messenger" instead of properly addressing the message. Since President Saringer read Mr. Miles' letter .and made it part of the record of council, would like Mr. Noble's report incorporated in the minutes also. President Saringer directed the Clerk to make Mr. Noble's report a part of this evening's proceedings. Richard Noble, Service Director of the City of North Olmsted, responded to Mr. Corrigan's comments and stated that if Mr. Corrigan was so concerned about the use of city personnel and city equipment, he had had every opportunity to voice his concern when he stood outside the polls with Mr. Noble from 7:30 to 9 A.M., and with Mayor Petrigac later that day. Mr. Corrigan did not even fur- nish the names of the employees concerned; feels Mr. Corrigan should make a public apology to the men of the Service Department who he has gone out of his way to discredit.
