Council Minutes of 6/18/91 4) We have been advised by the County that Barton Road, from Lorain south to the City limits, and Walter Road, from Lorain north., will be in the 1991 projects. However, work will rat begin until the spring of 1992 to allow time for drainage work to be completed. 5) The City will receive a donation of approximately $9,000 from Halleen Chevrolet and Chevrolet Motors to be used for the purchase of playgrourxi equipment at Bradley Park. Mr. Fattlar has been negotiating the purchase of this equipment and has arranged for $13,500 worth of equipment for $9,000. 6) We have had some very preliminary discussions about the feasibility of senior housing in North Olmsted. It will probably be another year before we have concrete information on this project. Mr. McKay will act as our liaison with Council and will keep you informed. 7) The City will sponsor anold-fashioned hometown Fourth of July celebration. A bicycle decorating contest will take place at City Hall at 9:45 a.m. followed by a parade to the park. We will have band concerts at the gazebo, picnic games, and a free picnic lunch. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Recently attended a seminar on impact fees; the administration is looking at the feasibility of imposing certain impact fees on future development. A co~rehensive study will be done to see whether or not it will be in the City's best interest to impose impact fees. 2) With respect to the Cater case, testimony was begun last week and should be concluded tomorrow. After testimony is complete, the referee will report to the Court of Appeals; we will then receive a briefing schedule. Hopefully, the case will be decided this fall. Finance Director Burns reported: 1) Congress is currently considering a bill which would require non-PERS employees to be covered by Social Security. PERS is also attempting to pass legislation to cover the same employees. The difference in the cost to North Olmsted would be approximately $50,000. House Bill 382 has cleared the House ark is in the Senate; the coa~romise on the bill was that there would be a .4~ reduction in the employer's contribution. This would save North Olmsted approximately $10,000; therefore, the net effect is an increase of $40,000 over what had originally been appropriated.
