Council Minutes of 4/19/88 _3- 3) About once a year, the State Treasurer lists unclaimed funds and North Olmsted applies for them. This year, the city received $114.50 from a check to one of its vendors. 4) Mr. Tony Gentile, from University Heights, is the new head of Regional Income Tax Agency. One of Mr. Ma's last efforts was looking into the possibility of penetrating the Columbus market. Columbus collects taxes for a few of the surround- ing cities and complaints have been made about their service. North Olmsted has now hired a consultant in this area. Will possibly be adding one or two cities, before the end of June, on a contractural basis as opposed to being members of the Council of Governments. This should reduce the cost of collections. In response to President Saringer's questions, Finance Director Boyle advised that $23,797, of the $35,696.22 received, was directly attributable to the $5.00 fee by North Olmsted and will be received on a monthly basis in the near future. In response to Mr. Wilamosky question regarding the projected amount to be re- ceived over the year, Finance Director Boyle responded that he believes it will be around $180,000 but there is a good chance it could top $200,000. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met, and also met jointly with the Streets and Drainage Committee, on April 12th. The joint meeting dealt primarily with the Deerfield Subdivision area's flooding problems. Four years ago, storm water restricters, better known as Hydrobrakes, were installed at various catch basins.. This was Phase I of a two phase project; Phase II called for underground retention. Service Department projects a cost of $65,000 for the installation of two underground retention tanks and installa- tion of a couple of more Hydrobrakes. Discussion ensued with respect to funding, Mayor had indicated receipt of an additional $100,000 revenue from CEI. At a meet- ing with CEI the following evening, it was brought out that while North Olmsted MAY receive $100,000, the distribution of that would be approximately 177 to North Olmsted; 667 to the school system and 177 to the county. There was a minimal amount of dialogue relative to funding. In addition to this project, another pro- ject was discussed because committee was looking at the possibility of issuing a note.. .This other project, in the west end,. would deal with resolution of storm drainage problems and alleviation of basement and street flooding. :Funding will be discussed at future meetings. 2) Committee discussed Ordinance No, 88-48 which provides for an appropriation of $16,200, $15,600 of which will be reimbursed by the county. The ordinance provides for the purchase of telemetry radios for the Fire Department rescue squad. Committee has no objection and will be asking for suspension of rule requiring three readings. 3) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 88-49 which provides for updating vehicle mileage allowance for city employees from 18G per mile to 21~ per mile for use of personal vehicles. Committee has no objection to this increase. 4) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 88-51 which provides some additional funding for the 911 emergency phone system; committee has no objection and will ask for suspension of the rule requiring three readings of this ordinance, 5) Committee discussed Ordinance Nos. 88-42 and 88-44 which address organization and compensation for administrative personnel as well as nan-sworn employees of the Police Department. Committee has no objection; will ask for suspension of rule requiring three readings. 6) Committee reviewed Ordinance No. 88-50 which establishes compensation for Clerk of Commissions and Senior Craft Person and has no objection.
