Minutes of the special Council Meeting of March 28, 1990, were approved. President Boehmer announced that Ordinance Nos. 90-44, 90-45 and 9'0-46 had been added to the agenda; suspension of the rule requiring three readings will be requested on Ordinance Nos. 90-38, 90-41 and 90-45. Mayor Boyle reported: 1) Due to the large audience in attendance this evening, will forward a written report to council, however, would like to just comment on a few important matters. 2) The City of North Olmsted has imposed a sanitary sewer tap-in ban on Olmsted Township. A recent request for a tap-in on McKenzie Road lead to the administration's researching of the contract and details of the sewers. Tap-ins granted to developers from sometime last year, as well as present requests from the Township, have exceeded the capacity designated for the Township. Through the recently uncovered documentation, the City of North Olmsted had granted tap-ins although the contract called for the county to review them first, submit them to the City of North Olmsted and then the city would take action. Since the city took action first, the county was pre- '. empted from doing anything. This resulted in the Township taking the capacity away from future development of North Olmsted so the Mayor has posted a tap-in ban. The administration is working with the county which is the governing authority for a township; has notified the Township trustees with respect to some type of settlement in the future; is presently contacting the state and federal government, looking for funding, and is talking with the engineers on some way to correct this problem. The Township will not be granted any tap-ins except in a dire emergency where perhaps the septics fail and cause a health hazard. Tap-ins will not be granted to developers; has been approached for the development of approximately 600 single family homes; this request has been turned down and the builders notified as to the present situation. 3) The Police Department will be receiving its police cars this week. Will be replacing one-third of the fleet on a continuing basis which will maintain the quality of the fleet and reduce the cost of maintenance. By doing it early in the year, will benefit from the state bid prices, thereby lowering the total expense and get cars on line faster. Four cars are currently in Columbus and will be picked up this week; the detective car will be available right after Christmas; estimated savings on this purchase is approximately $5,000. :=mss .. _ . ,.,._ _ ~ okµ~K;,.~..,.*~:x ~ ~~=~~7~, . , .~.._. _. _ _ ,. ,. ,
