Council Minutes of 1/5/88 -3-
<br />i~ Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) The City of North Olmsted had a problem
<br />with respect to property taxes last year; the county overpaid all of Cuyahoga
<br />County and then North Olmsted overpaid them. During this fiasco, some of the
<br />county deductions were reported late; Finance Director has now received the
<br />total charges and has had an opportunity to analyze them. Workmens Compensation
<br />charge has more than doubled since 1986 and that will cause an over-expenditure
<br />in each fund that pays workmens comp, i.e. Recreation, Bus, Sewer and the General
<br />Fund. City had paid $111,600; it is now up to $243,000 and it needs to be
<br />addressed. Would like to discuss this at the next Finance Committee Meeting. A
<br />post end-of-year transfer may be needed to cover this since these charges are
<br />not paid by check - they are charges more on an accrual. method -just withheld from
<br />the city's taxes. Total county deductions had been $242,000; they are now up to
<br />$378,000. This increase of $136,000 is basically in workmens comp and auditor/
<br />treasurer fees areas. Has written to the County Budget Commission, the County
<br />Auditor and the County Treasurer about the fees because they might be related to
<br />that overpayment, which was not the fault of any government in Cuyahoga County
<br />and therefore those governments should not be penalized for this, especially to
<br />the tune of $22,000. Will be forwarding a memo to council within the next day or
<br />two which will detail these facts.
<br />Mr. Tallon, Chairman Building, Zoning and Development Committee reported: 1) A
<br />brief meeting was held on December 15th with respect to Space Age Design on Bradley
