Council Minutes of 09-04-12 ~,~, Resources Director has been organizing and scheduling for other negotiations for dispatch, service, clerical tech, and the IAFF. • The Law Dept. has been working on a shared facilities agreement with the North Olmsted City Schools. The agreement sets forth rights and responsibilities towards each other with respect to the facilities that we each use. • In May, he had mentioned about registered sex offenders living in North Olmsted. There was one particular address the city was inquiring about. There were altogether six registered sex offenders in violation of North Olmsted's Code. He sent notice this past week to all six of those individuals that they were to bring themselves into compliance; that they could no longer live within 2,000 feet of schools and daycare centers. Several of them have immediately left already. If any of them fail to comply, the city has the ability to bring criminal charges against them. He will bring an action against them in Common Pleas Court to have them removed from that location. Director of Finance Copfer: • Michael Gareau, Pete DiFranco, WWTP Asst Superintendents and John Larson met to discuss the contract review of agreements with Fairview and the County to determine potential changes needed other than just the financial aspect of the plant improvements. They discussed the level of flow both regularly and during storm events, and the City Engineer will be analyzing the data that has been collected. Also, consideration of the JEDD with the county as relevant to contract concerns was discussed. A follow-up meeting is scheduled so that they can then compile concerns for changes to the contracts. • The Cleveland Division of Water, though they promised to display the sewer rate so that residents and users could easily calculate their bills, didn't achieve it on this latest round of bills that went out. She knows this would eliminate over half of the calls that come into her office. Again she reiterated the need for this, and they have assured us it will be on next time. • Local Government funding for 2013 has been calculated by the County and State. As suspected, it will be less than 2012. It will be a projected decrease of $240,643. Note that because of the State's fiscal year ending being June 30~', 2013 is the first full calendar year of the 50% reduction. • June financial summary and detail statements were to be sent out to Council today via email. She has one item she is still reviewing, but the quarterly financial review should be sent out in the next day or so. If you would like to ask her any questions please call or email her. If council would desire this be discussed at a finance committee meeting, she would be happy to do so. • The Administration is meeting tomorrow with Bond Counsel and investment bankers to consider a bond issue before year end, if it still makes financial sense. If they do, they will be borrowing what they would normally borrow at the beginning of next year for capital at that time. Councilman Barker, Chairman of the Finance Committee: 2
