Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met on August 31st with all membexs in attendance as well as Mayor Petrigac, Finance Director Boyle and Councilman Lackey. Committee discussed Ordinance No. 87-82 which provides for the levying of a $5.00 per motor vehicle fee as provided for under recent action by the state legislature. There are approximately 28,700 licensed vehicles in North Olmsted which would generate approximately $143,000 annually. Under the statute, the money must be used for roadway improvements, maintenance, etc. but would not have to be earmarked for a State Highway Fund. It therefore could be, and would be, used for improving roadways outside of state highways - not limited to state .highways. The state has also authorized the County to enact a similar tax. The County has not acted as yet but should they enact that $5.00 tax, they would share a portion of it with North Olmsted. Committee recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 87-82 with the understanding that the revenues generated would be placed within the Street Maintenance Fund and used for street improvements.
