~r;s Council Minutes of 11-16-2010 Maureen Shear, 5646 Canterbury Road requested that a bridge be installed along the Butternut Ridge I-480 overpass. She submitted pictures and a letter for the city's review. The Mayor said he would discuss the issue with the Director of Safety/Service. Jim Burns, 28938 Lorain Road referenced Ordinance 2010-100. He believes one of the problems with this Ordinance is that most occupancy permits are issued to tenants, and the tenants cannot do anything to make the landlord pay taxes. Without the tenant renting space and paying landlords, the landlords cannot collect money to pay the real estate taxes that the city is looking for. Additionally the employees will be unable to work, so the city won't be able to collect income tax. If tenants invest money in their space improvements and they're denied an occupancy permit, they are being penalized by not being able to use their investment because of something a third party has done that they have no control over.
