President Saringer requested a memo to all of council showing the schedule for the Memorial Day activities; Mayor will provide same. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Is sure everyone has read about the Burger King Case in the newspapers; when the city lost the case a year ago, Law Director indicated that he would appeal to the Court of Appeals and had some degree of confidence that the city would prevail based on the fact that North Olmsted does have licensing rights and rights of regulation. North Olmsted has never been shy in passing this kind of legislation and has generally been upheld as it was in this instance. If Burger King should appeal to the Supreme Court and the appeal should be accepted, Law Director will continue to pursue the issue since he feels it is important to regulate quiet in neighborhoods where businesses abut resi- dential areas. Is confident that if it should go to the Supreme Court, the city will again be upheld. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met on May 12th and discussed Ordinance No. 87-36 which provides for appropriations for current expenses from the Sewer Revenue Fund. Superintendent Harry Crider dis- cussed some of the line items listed within the legislation. It was committee's recommendation to amend Ordinance Ido. 87-36 per replacement page already dis- tributed. The increase of appropriations within that fund is $154,500, for a total to date of $2,483,800 appropriated. Committee has no objection to the amended legislation anal recommends adoption as amended. 2) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 87-41, which provides for a transfer of $3,500 from General Fund, Salt, to Concrete Material. Committee discussed the transfer with Director Noble and recommends the legislation be amended, per the replacement page, by striking our the word "concrete" and inserting "Street Repair Material", with the same dollar amount. Committee has no objection to the ordinance as amended. 3) Ordinance No. 87-42 was also reviewed; it provides for an additional appropriation of $2,000 to meet the needs of the Planning Commission.

It provides for a transfer from line item, "Spare Parts" to the line item "Plant Equipment Maintenance and Repair; committee has no objection. 6) Ordinance No. 87-48 provides for additional appropriations to a number of General Fund line items. The total appropriation comes to $146,300 and provides for sixteen line items. Two of the most significant items primarily reflect appropriations for police and an increase in the hospitalization costs. With this added appropriation, the total appropriation o€ General Fund dollars will rise to $7,676,671 and is very close to the estimated revenues listed on the estimated resources. Hopefully, by the end of May, the city might be told that it can expect a 7~/9~ increase in the municipal income tax collection since they were down by 16~ as of the end of March.
