This is Issue Two money . 7) Organization Meeting for Solid Waste Management Committee will be held on April 25th at 7:30 P.M. On February 6th discussed this committee in some de- tail and suggested that council might want someone to sit on this committee; has not received a response to this suggestion as yet. 8) Meeting of the Council of Governments was held today in Rocky River for the approval of the HAZ-MAT Budget and other related business for WEB. HAZ MAT cost to the city should run approximately $10,000; it has been appropriated in the budget. 9) An ad for a City Engineer ran in the January issue of Cities and Villages; has had no response as yet. 10) Read a letter from Helen Montgomery, Ohio/Beirut Memorial Organization, ad- vising that the Beirut Memorial will be placed in Struthers, Ohio and thanking North Olmsted for their consideration. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Yesterday, hearing was held to submit additional evidence in the Sunset Memorial Case. Councilmen Tallon and McKay were present and both testified as to the reasons council overturned the Board of Zoning Appeals on this issue. Within the next thirty days, Sunset Memorial must submit their assignments of error and brief; city then has until May 15th to submit a reply to that brief. 2) On Monday, submitted objections to the proposed bargaining unit that is sought to be established by the North Olmsted .Employees' Transit Association with the State Employees' Relation Board.. In their bargining unit, they have included. all part-time employees, all bus drivers, all hostelers and all mechanics; Law Director has objected because there is no community of interest and it is inappropriate to have all these people mixed in one bargining unit. This is in SERB's hands and will continue to keep council advised. Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) For the last couple of weeks has been working with Arthur Young and Company, auditors, as well as computing a few of the sewer bills. Have computed new sewer bills for the Township and for Fairview Park. These are being submitted through the normal channels: Mayor, Squire, Sanders and Dempsy, Cuyahoga County, etc. Would prefer not to quote figures now however, they have been completed. 2) Ohio EPA has requested the State of Ohio to pass a water consumption tax that Finance Director has been monitoring to some extent. The Finance Committee has not included it in this year's appropriations as far as being a revenue source although it may crop up later. It would increase the water rates for the entire State of Ohio. 3) There is also a House Bill, 4267, on Wastewater Treatment Plants, whereby the State of Ohio would allow a certain amount of dollars to be borrowed by munici- palities to finance or refinance Treatment Plants. Believes it might be of some use to the City. of North Olmsted on the Step III Program; it may also be of more use in the Fairview negotiations. In studying the bill, it appears that it is applicable to their situation and may allow them more of an opportunity to pay the back money they owe North Olmsted on capital improvements.
