Council Minutes of 01-19-10 addressed like paint, parking and other exterior maintenance items by May 20, 2010. He is suspect as to whether or not Mr. Vivianni will be able to achieve that because many of the objectives he thought he would achieve in December went unachieved. The point of this is that the city is trying to make sure that they get compliance. • In accordance with Revised Code 733.62, former Law Director Dubelko always gave a report of monies that were collected by the Law Department in the preceding year. For 2009, the city collected $3,850 from Cleveland Hockey Supply for rent owed to the Recreation Center. Regarding the police cruiser claim, the city collected $20,321.12 from an insurance company; the total was $24,171.12. In real property maintenance claims, the city was able to collect $13,675 on a total of seventeen convictions. There was also an additional $1,450 in direct reimbursement to the Building Department throughout the course of 2009. • His Secretary/Administrative Assistant, Annie Kilbane, has been putting in extremely long hours and very hard work reorganizing the physical infrastructure of the Law Department. She's been working with Prosecutor Gordillo changing the system that they currently use. The process was reasonably efficient before but with Mr. Gordillo's input and the hard work of Annie Kilbane, they're going to make it even better than it was before. Finance Director Copfer: • During the last Council report, she had stated that property values with the Final Schedule A did not go down by 10%, but that was in total. Upon further and more detailed review, the residential values did go down 10% for North Olmsted, but it was offset by a 3% increase in commercial values and only 1.6% in public utilities. There's also new construction that was added to that, probably to help in that commercial as well. There also was the elimination of general, tangible personal property. The net effect was the 7.5%, but when looking at residential it was a 10%. • They are working on closing the books for the year. They're still at a very detail level, but she should have the cash basis results shortly. • They had done an RFP for bond counsel, and they received five RFP's and one attorney's office declined. Once they are reviewed, they take it to the Board of Control. • The W2 and 1099 software update is to be installed this week after payroll is completed being processed. W2's must be out by January 31 and 1099's are the middle of February. • She has article from the Ohio Society of CPA's about a study done and verified by independent economists at five universities that the federal stimulus has had little or no effect on local unemployment. • There was an article in the Plain Dealer the past weekend about electric rates for all electric homes. The exemption was removed and was eliminated by First Energy back in July. The PUCO approved it and it's going into effect in January. Her parents have an all-electric home and it's several hundred dollars a month 4
