Council Minutes of 2/17/87 -3- In the absence of Mr. Wilamosky, Mr. Tallon gave the following Finance Committee report: 1) Committee met on February 4th with all members in attendance as ` well as Councilmen McKay, Lackey, O'Grady and Finance Director Boyle. Committee discussed the Mayor's recommendations regarding 1987 appropriations; reviewing continues. 2) Discussed a transfer within the Police Department; legislation is on the agenda; committee has no objection. 3) Discussed the council-at-large salary for term beginning January 1, 1988; recommends the amount passed by council at the special meeting of February 12th. 4) Committee reconvened on February 9th and continued review of Mayor's appropri- ations. Met with Georgia Wilder, North Olmsted YDP Coordinator; discussed activi- ties and duties of the counsellor. Despite the Mayor's recommendation to cut funds for YDP Counsellor, committee feels this is not in the best interests of the community and therefore decided to fund this position for the full. year. In the absence of a recommendation from the Mayor,. regarding a specific area to fund YDP, the committee will be .coming forth with a funding recommendation. 5) Committee reconvened on February 16th; recommends an appropriation for the Sewer Treatment Plant; legislation is on the agenda tonight for spare parts as well as systems supplies and maintenance and committee has no objection. 6) There seems to be a misunderstanding that not enough money was appropriated in the temporary budget for the Senior Center craft worker; the committee has appropriated enough money in the-wage item for recreation to cover this position. 7) Committee discussed the administration's attempt to pay employees through the use of a requisition. Committee finds this action deplorable and nothing more than a covert attempt to increase payroll expense and cover it up by trying to increase payroll and hide it in a non-payroll line item. If it's payroll then committee wants it in payroll. 8) Committee will meet on February 23rd at 7:30 P.M. and requests Chief Marsh, Chief VanKuren, City Engineer Schaller and Director Becker to be in attendance. Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee reported: 1) Moved Council have no objection to the issuance of a C1 and C2 liquor permit for United Dairy Farmers of Cincinnati, Incorporated, dba United Dairy Farmers, 24652 Lorain Road, North Olmsted, Ohio,. second by Mr. Ta11on, unanimously approved.

President Pro Tem O'Grady asked the Mayor to meet with the Administrator on Aging and report back to council on the many complaints that seem to be surfacing.
