Council Minutes of 03-15-2011 Division Heads along with every employee who works and sacrifices for the City of North Olmsted to have this balanced budget. There are still some uncertainties, especially the Local Government Fund along with Payroll Tax and Property Tax. I fear the increase in oil, the terrible catastrophe that happened in Japan and many other issues can and will affect our economy. There are good things also. The Administration has deposited money into our contingency fund two years in a row. This hasn't happened in quite awhile. There hasn't been any money in that fund for a long time. The Administration and Council are implementing two ordinances with the help of the Finance Director that will allow money to be put away for big expenditures. We're borrowing less than half for yearly street repairs. I haven't witnessed that in my time up here at City Hall. We're looking at repairing two great assets -our Recreation building and Springvale. We can all be proud as citizens of the Administration, Council and employees of this city for getting it done and planning ahead. Thank you Mayor, Directors and North Olmsted employees.
