Council Minutes of 4/21/92 Mayor Boyle said that we do have an autoanatic mutual aid program. Mutual aid was coming, but our squad was able to reach the home first. Mrs. Saringer congratulated the Mayor and everyone who worked on securing the Moen headquarters for North Olmsted. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) We have received a decision in the Cater case, which involved the suspension of Civil Service Commissioner Stroh. In essence, the court decided that the suspension was proper. However, the court said the discharge could not be affected by the City Council simply because some of the members were appointed rather than elected. Mr. Stroh will be paid for the number of meetings that remained during his term; the cost of the individual. who heard the case will be shared; each party will pay their awn attorney's fees. The City Charter has since been changed to include "members of Council" rather than "elected members of Council." 2) We also received a decision i.n the case dealing with a firefighter who claimed that the city had improperly changed hospitalization coverage. The city had denied the grievance, aril the arbitrator has upheld that decision. Finance Director Burns reported: 1) On first reading tonight are Ordinances 92-40, 92-41 and 92-42, which are is of prior note ordinances to change the due dates from December 20, a Sunday, to December 18. 2) The city has received a pranissory note from Issue 2 fu~.s for the Silverdale/ Selhurst project. The note is for approximately $272,000, has a zero interest rate, and is payable over a 20-year period. After seeking the advice of legal counsel, this note will require an ordinance, three readings and a 30-day waiting period before it can be signed. Hopefully, the ordinance will be ready for presentation at the next Council meeting. Mr. McKay, Chairperson of the Enviroranental Control Committee, reported: 1) The committee met on Tuesday, April 14. In attendance were Councilmen Leonard and McKay, Safety Director Bohlmarin, and City Engineer Deichmann. Agenda items were as follows: a. Ordinance No. 92-35, which authorizes the Mayor to contract with Malcom Pirnie Inc. for engineering services for a NPDES permit application for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The stormwater drainage system that serves the plant requires a permit by the Ohio EPA. The area included is within one quarter of a mile of the plant. Required for the permit is a site map which shows the drainage features, drainage structures, tributary areas, building impervious areas and receiving waters. Also, a test of the soil and run-off water is required. Because Malcom Pirnie, Inc. is a highly-qualified company with experience at our plant, the committee recommends approval of Ordinance 92-35. b. Ordinance No. 92-37, which authorizes the Mayor to enter into a contract with Browning-Ferris Industries of Ohio, Inc. for implementation of a recycling program. Hopefully, the program will begin in May. Residents will be notified through the mail and an education program at the schools. The cost of recycling will be $1.81 per household, plus the cost of the regular pick-up. The cost for the year will be $1,363,000. The committee recommends passage of Ordinance 92-37. 2
