Council Minutes of 1/19/88 -4 - as a Zoning Map, the incident would not have occurred. Mr. Britton was totally unprepared and if any apology is to be made it should certainly come from the administration. Mr. Tallon, Chairman Building, Zoning and Development Committee reported: 1) Meeting was held earlier this evening with respect to a proposal for the Charles Helzer Warehouse, 31266 Bradley Road, to be constructed in a limited industrial area. Aside yard variance was granted on November ll, 1987. It was heard by the ARB on December 16, 1987. A variance for gravel parking was denied and the present plans include paved parking in the rear of the building. Committee concurs with Planning Commission and ARB, therefore Mr. Tallon moved council approve the proposal for the Charles Helzer Warehouse as per ARB and Planning Commission, second by Mr. Bohlmann, unanimously approved. Mr. Bohlmann announced that the Parks and Recreation Commission held an organ- izational meeting last week; Mr. Timothy O'Rourke was reappointed Chairman and Mr. Richard Scott appointed Vice Chairman. Audience participation: Raymond Hutnyak, North Olmsted employee, spoke with respect to Ordinance No. 87-130, the Pension Pick-up Plan legislation. Would like the legislation to be placed back on tonight's agenda and be resolved. Mr. Hutnyak presented a paper, initialed by .Service Director Noble, which he claimed showed the Pick-up Plan as part of the contract approved by council. Mr. Wilamosky responded that when he introduced the plan in July of 1984 he thought it was a great program; he still thinks it a great program. There were four contracts entered into and only one of them had a reference to PERS Pick-up. What is in the Service contract is a statement that the city would try to institute a PERS Pick-up if it would be legally possible to do so. The other three contracts are totally void of any reference to a PERS Pick-up Program. Feels that is why it is important that the Finance Committee have ample time to sit down and review the rationale as to why both the bargaining unit and city representatives entered into such a contract where there is a lack and a total absence of language covering PERS Pick-up. Mayor Petrigac stated that the issues Mr. Wilamosky is now raising, he has already raised in caucus and all his questions have been answered more than once. Mr. Wilamosky stated that the answers he has received have been unsatisfactory. Law Director Gareau stated that he has negotiated union contracts for fourteen years; agreements are made; there are handshakes; there is mutual trust; there was never any feeling that there would be any opposition to PERS Pick-up. During all four negotiations sessions, the subject matter of PERS Pick-up was discussed. It makes no sense not to have it. The administration gave its word, on behalf of council; council has to back up the administration on this. Discussion continued. Don Livingstone Chairman NOMBL Employees` Committee, stated .that .the Sus I,in.e employees believe the PERS Pick-up Program. is a good idea anal wou~,d appreciate it if the Bus Line employees were included in the program.. LEGISLATION: Ordinance No. 87-134 introduced by Mr. O'Grady was given its .second reading.
