President Boehmer called the meeting to order at 8 p.m. in Council Chambers, 5200 Dover Center Road, North Olmsted, Ohio.

He announced that Mayor Boyle and Council Member Babas would not be in attendance tonight because they were attending a meeting in Columbus. President Boehmer announced the addition of Ordinance No. ~-131 to the agenda. The following ordinances will be passed on suspension of the rules: 90-129, 90-130, 90-131. Mr. Bohlmann reported for Mayor Boyle: 1) Mr. Conway and our Administrative Assistant Nancy Wlodarski are working on an appeal of the Census results. According to Building Department records, 748 additional housing units were constructed during the ten-year period; therefore, our current average population should be 35,000 rather than the 34,000 counted by the Census Bureau. 2) A review of city assets and an evaluation of liability proposals has been done. Valuations have increased on the average of four percent; other than this adjustment, all coverage is equal to the 1989 liability policy. This procedure has resulted in a savings to the City of North Olmsted of $53,286. We urge an official appraisal be funded in 1991; this will not only impact our insurance costs but also our recovery in the event of disaster. 3) The Mayor would like to thank all the surrounding communities that participated in mutual assistance Sunday in fighting the Senior High School fire. The North Olmsted Fire Department is to be com€nended; they took control of the site, directed activities, and conducted themselves very professionally. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) In the case of firefighter Capt. ~nith vs. the City: the Court of Appeals ruled that the six year statute of limitations is applicable; also, Capt. Smith should receive credit for time actually served in the National Guard. Consequently, he will receive one additional week of vacation.
