A resolution approving an alternative method of apportioning the Local Govern- ment Revenue Assistance Fund of Cuyahoga County for the calendar year 1989 and thereafter, and declaring an emergency. Mr. Wilamosky moved for suspension of rule requiring three readings as well as referral to committee, second by Mr. O'Grady, unanimously approved. Mr. Wilamosky moved for adoption, second by Mr. O'Grady, unanimously approved. Resolution No. 89-74 adopted. Miscellaneous Business: Mr. Bohlmann stated that he and Mrs. Bahas would like to set up a special meeting of council in order to place the two income tax issues on the agenda, those being. Ordinance No. 89-75 and Resolution No. 89-76; asked if there was a third member of council who would join them in this since it requires three members of council to call a special meeting. Councilmen Boehmer, McKay, O'Grady and Tallon all indicated that they did not feel there was sufficient time to promote an income tax and place it on the ballot this November. Mr. Wilamosky indicated that he was in agreement with Council Members Bahas and Bohlmann that an income tax issue was desperately needed but would not support their call for a special meeting at this time since it was obvious that the majority of council was against a tax issue and a special meeting would fail to place the issue on the ballot in November since the other four members were vehemently against it at this time. Mr. Tallon scheduled a BZD Committee Meeting for Wednesday, August 23rd, at 8 P.M., and requested the presence of Building Commissioner and Acting Engineer. This meeting was the one originally scheduled for August 24th and then cancelled. Mr. Wilamosky described the terrible conditions of streets and catch basins, etc. in Pheasant Walk; asked if the punch list had been started; Service Director stated that the punch list has been started and the Service Department was monitor- ing the ditches for debris. Mr. Wilamosky also requested that a check list on the Tallwood Subdivision be provided to council; he finds many things in poor condition in this area, such as cracked catch basins, cracked concrete, severe spalling of streets, cracks in center of street with grass growing out of crack; curb cracked about three feet in one section, etc. Service Director Noble asked the Clerk of Council to provide a copy of Mr. Wilamosky's remarks so these complaints can be looked into. Mr. O'Grady noted that the Mayor had received a letter on August 2nd from the County Commissioner with respect to Issue Two money and there was a deadline of September 30th; is the city going to proceed? Mayor responded that the city will proceed and it will be brought to council - probably going with the priorities already selected; engineering has already been done. The agenda being completed and there being no further business, President Saringer adjourned the Council Meeting at 9:50 P.M. lorence E. Campbell, Cle of Council ~• . net A.
