Mr. Ext stated that the increase of 2~ would be passed on to the residents of North Olmsted as a surcharge. Mayor recommends that council not pursue the additional 2~ since it would further burden North Olmsted residents. 8) On April 29th, an audit meeting was held with RTA and several items were dis- allowed in the audit. City will def initely appeal as soon as it is determined the proper authority to be contacted. 9) May is Older American Month. 10) Has received a letter from Westlake Engineering Department; Westlake will be improving its portion of Maple Ridge Road, from Walter Road to Columbia Road. They are also considering the section from Walter Road to Maple Ridge Road north. The figures on the Columbia to Walter section are $52,650, without the inclusion of drainage. If f financing is available would encourage North Olmsted to partici- pate in this project, including drainage. 11) A city truck will be parked behind Community Cabin in North Olmsted Park, on weekends, for residents to dump their spring cleanup debris into.

The school was advised that this was definitely not a good practise and they indicated they would refrain from such action in the future. Mr. Tallon asked that the Mayor furnish him with the appraisal of the property mentioned in her report; Mayor stated she would send all council members a copy. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) The Romp brief, consisting of about 40 pages, has been prepared and will be filed tomorrow morning. 2) The lighting expert will inspect the Halleen property the last week of May and the city will then proceed with that litigation. 3) City received confirmation from the Civil Service Commission with respect to the firing of a bus operator; the employee has 30 days within which to appeal to the Court of Common Pleas. Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) Talked with Mr. John Larson of Squire, Sanders and Dempsey regarding the Lorain Road note which is coming due in July. Legislation will be prepared for the first council meeting in June. This is just a simple roll-over of the note; is negotiating the sale of it. 2) With respect to income tax, if council will look at the financial statements, they will find few increases or decreases; as of the end of March, it is pretty much the same as the prior year.
