President Boehmer made the following announcements: Resoh~tion No. 95-161 would be added to the agenda; Resohrtion No. 95-154 and Ordnance No. 95-157 would be passed under suspension of the Hiles. REPORTS Mayor Boyle: 1) RTA is currently planning changes to bus route 68, which stops at Great Northern shopping center. Possilrle changes being considered would link North Ohed with other area suburbs. However, it appears that RTA plans to operate this route with their drivers instead of NOMBL drivers. It would be cost effective for NOMBL to operate this route and it would also help to improve our peak to base ratio, something that the bus line has been trying to do. Attempts to contact RTA managem~t have not been successfiil, so the Mayor has contacted members of the GCRTA board in hopes of coming to some resolution of this matter. 2) Mayor White has announced that the Cleveland Water Department will raise its rates by approximately 7.3% effective the beginning of 1996. This notification firms the 60 day notice requirement in our contract. The rate hike breaks down in this manner: 4% for inflation, 1.2% for declining consumption and 2.1% for capital improvements. 3) Telephone solicitors supposedly representing the city D.A.RE. program are attempting to sell coupon books. The city is ~ involved with this group. Resiciea~ts receiving phone calls should try to ascertain a name and then report it to the Safety Director.
