Conference of Mayors in New York where one of the major topics was unfunded marxiates by the Federal and state governments. Since 1980, the Federal government has been attempting to balance its budget by shifting the burden of expenditures off onto state goverrnnents. Eventually, the states began shifting the burden to municipal and county governments. A report is being prepared that will detail what impact these unfunded maruiates have had on municipal and county governments. 2) Meetings have been held with several companies that are interested in compiling the demographics for the proposed senior housing. Once the demographics are complete, the facility can be sized and the proper amount of land can be purchased. Hopefully, the architect will have a rendering completed by October. We hope to service all the needs of seniors by a total complex including independent care, assisted care, total care, a senior center and a large kitchen facility that will accommodate a "meal on wheels" program. The occupancy list will be ckveloped from senior residents of North O]~sted, parents of North Olmsted residents and then the public. Cuyahoga County has shown interest in assisting the city in the borrowing for the facility. Also, the Catholic Diocese and the American Federation of Labor have express~ci interest in the project. We are keeping the county advised, through Nancy Cronin who is in charge of our Ccxnmmity Development Block Grant, as to the diffetrent firms that will be involved in the project. Once the contract is sig~cl as~d the land requirements are established, the county will meet with the Administration and City Council to further discuss the plans. 3) The "Fifth" of July celebration was a great success. Approximately 200 children participated in the bicycle parade, and a good time was had by all.
