Council Minutes of 10/20/92 3) The County Plaiming Cofmii.ssion met on October 13. The following items were discussed: a. The County Commissioners have placed responsibility for Issue 2 with the County Planning Commission. b. Municipal leaf dumps. Sane municipalities are having problems with their collection areas. However, North Olmsted has passed the EPA tests and is one of the model cities being surveyed by the County Plam~ing Commission. c. The County was tined down on a grant request which would have provided for the use of recycled materials in the Gateway construction. 4) The Westshore Enforcement Bureau met on October 14 with jails being a major discussion item. The State of Ohio has a program whereby counties can join together to get funding for jails. Although the Westshore caununities constitute a population greater than some ca®binations of counties, WEB has been refused funding for a jail. As an alternative, the communities are caisidering opening a misdemeanant jail. However, this will not alleviate the major problem of the need for a felon jail. At present, felons are being held in the North Olmsted City Jail because there is no cx~unty space available. 5) Along with the Law Director $nd Finance Director, met with representatives of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey concerning the sharing of tax revenue with the North Olmsted School System. Hopefully, legislation will be ready for the next Council meeting.
