Council Minutes of 10/15/91 Audience Participation (continued) Pl'r: P!c'Kay commented t'Fiat our agreement is with the County; when a c:i.ty applies for a sewer tie-in, the County grants that application.. The tie-in for OL~ted Township will not cause a probl~n for the City; we are trying to plan ahead and keep our plant updated for future use. Mr. Nashar agreed that the City is planning for future expansion of the Treatment Plant . Mayor Boyle responded that, for the first time in many years, the plant is operating below capacity. According to EPA figures, the plant is now at 75X capacity, which is much more than 30,000 gallons. The contract sued with the County several years ago, stipulated amounts of water acid sewage that could be accepted from the County. Tt~ City exceeded that contract, and in 1990 fouand it necessary to impose a tap-in ban on Olmsted Township. Due to the sewer work being performed in the City, we have brought the plant's volume down to 75~ of capacity. The City new feels duty bound to amend the contract to show the exact amounts being received from the Township. The 30,000 ~l.lon figure is rounded off and is much less than our capacity. It allows some leeway to the Township to grant tap-ins to single homes and does not impact at all on the development of North Olmsted or Fairview Park. Mr. Leonard commented that when this proposal was originally brought up, he had questions concerning capacities. He noted that the coamittee agreed to release the tap-in ban for the 30,000 gallons; and, at the same time, authorized the Mayor to enter into an agreement with an engineering firm to conduct a facilities study. Ordinance No. 91-148, which is an first reading tonight, will give the Mayor permission to enter into this agreement for the facility study. The City is proceeding very slowly, step by step, so we do not over-reach plant capacity. Donna McGreal, 5378 Wellesley Avenue, was very pleased to hear that the legislation to limit the number of dogs had been tabled. She questioned whether there was a more permanent method of withdrawing the legislation. Mrs. McGreal was assured by Mr. Boehmer that the legislation was effectively "dead". Dorothy Vormelker, 26b46 Sudbury Drive, also expressed concern about Ordinance No. 91-139; she feels it will cause trouble between neighbors.
