I Council Minutes of 11/15/88 -2- Mayor Petrigac reported: 1) Has furnished council with a proposed procedure for applying for Issue Two money; Mary Boyle stressed the importance of timing; would appreciate it if council, by motion, accept a Five. Year Capital Improvement Plan and also. designate one or two projects so engineering can begin. 2) Administration met with representative from Metro Ten Cablevision to discuss a plan they would like to offer to North Olmsted residents; Cablevision does not have an exclusive. contract so Mayor will be scheduling an organizational meeting with the Cable Advisory Board, the first part of 1989, at which time Metro Ten will be invited to address council and discuss their. offer. 3) Met with Madeline Brookshire to discuss formation of a committee to monitor development of the Crocker Road Extension.

Would like the record to show that the person who made this remark was from the previous administration - not a member of the present administration. 6) Received the audit report from EPA regarding the city's grant; the report dis- closed eight internal control weaknesses. Copy of report was given to Finance Director, Chairman of Finance Committee and President of Council; City has a 30 day deadline to correct. 7) RTA Board has approved contract with Greater Cleveland RTA and the City of North Olmsted; ordinance is being introduced this evening; would appreciate council's immediate attention so the contract can be implemented. 8) Spoke with Greater Cleveland Ecology as Mr. Reis suggested at the last meeting.
