Council Minutes of OS-OS-2010 Secretary of State records to see if the entity still exists. As of that afternoon, their articles were canceled. So there's a potential issue with no address, and the second issue is that the corporation that seeks to transfer it doesn't exist with respect to the Secretary of State. Councilman Brossard, Chairman of the Streets and Transportation Committee: The Streets and Transportation Committee met Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at 7:15 p.m. Present were committee members Brossard, Orlowski and Williamson; Council President Limpert; Council members Barker, Jones, Mahoney and Orlowski; Safety Director Ritenauer. • Resolution 2010-49 is a Resolution authorizing the Mayor, on behalf of the City of North Olmsted, to enter into an agreement with the Board of Cuyahoga County Commissioners for cooperation and financial assistance with the full depth recycle and overlay of Columbia Road (CR-290) from Butternut Ridge Road to Lorain Road. The City Engineer had asked the Cuyahoga County Engineering Dept. to apply to NOACA for funding for this project. If the city receives the grant, 80% of that project will be funded federally - 10% by the County and 10% by the city of North Olmsted. The city's portion would be about $225,000. Traditionally the planning and specs of the project would be 40% (city's share) or $60,000. The total cost to the city of North Olmsted would be estimated at $285,000. If the city gets the project, the city will either borrow or dedicate city street funds for the project.

One of the arborist's duties is to inspect dead or rotten tree limbs/wood that can be a safety hazard. Fisher had the same conversation with North Olmsted's arborist. Why would there be an acceptance of the Building Dept. to use 45-year old rotten, deteriorated wood? Fisher also spoke with the Cuyahoga County Treasurer's Office Senior Appraisal Analyst. Fisher asked him how his property values are affected by code violations that go uncorrected. The County said anyone that is impacted should fill out the appropriate form in January and they will review the request for the tax reduction. At the end of Fisher's Apri16 meeting with the city, the three condo owners that were present were told 7
