Mr. Leonard asked the Mayor >f the negotiations with the county an the sanitary flow frcxn Olmsted Township would increase tYie number of tap'-ins. Mayor said that once the contract has been expanded, the rn:~mber of tap-ins c~.d increase. To receive a .tap-in, an indivdatsal must first go to the ccna~ty for approve]. aa~d then came to the city. Mr. Leonard also expressed concern that Shore West had purchased a rn~sber of tap-ins arxi then proceeded to resell them to the Renaissance. The Mayor said he did not know the whole -story on that i.ssc~e but surmised that the contractor turrLed them back into the coamty anti thst the Renaissance was next on the list. The. city will look into thie Witter becav~se people should not be reselling tap-ins. Mr. Leonard .then asked the for ttte cost of the option extension for the senior housing land.

Law Director C~reau reported: 1) We have taken the judgtuexit on the Eliza Jermngs case to the Court of Appeals where four of five assigi~ents of error were ruled in the city's favor. Ike feels that the opinion will allow the city to receive interest of lOX on $103,000 for two years. There is a slight possibility that E]:iza Jennings will take this to the Ohio Supreme Court.. 2) Because of a discrepancy in the probationary period between the AFSCME contract and the Civil Service regulations, two employees were r+~uired to take the Civil Service tests. The employees who did not pass the typing tests filed an appeal before the Civil Service Commission, and the appes]. was recently heard. The points of their ccxnplaints were that the test was given on old. equi;p~ent at the high school and that the test was designed for secretaries these employees .are basically assigned to data entry and other various teaks. As a result, the Civil Service Commission ruled that the rank of passage would be determined by the written ex~ninatian and the typing exam was thrown out. Since both of these employees had been employed over six months and were coe~e~cied on their work performance by their supervisors, they will both remain in the city's employ. 3) The Hoot~an case has been resolved. The union has agreed that, should another position become available in the future, Mr. Hootman would fill the position as a union employee. 4) With regard to the discrepancy in probationary periods, the union has agreed to increase their probationary period by three months. The Civil Service Commission has agreed in principle to change the rules so that once a person has been employed six months they need only pass the test. During the probationary period of six months, a person must score within the top three. 5) At the last Board of Zoning Appeals meeting, Halleen submitted their proposal for settlemierit. Halleen has agreed to extend .the green area in front of where Partner's was from 7 feet on a diagc~na7. line back to 20 feet. The Board of Zoning Appeals has granted a variance to display merchandise within that area. The case is now resolved. 2 ~~:~
