Council Minutes of 1/17/95 ,~~ North Olmsted City Council for that reason. All financial statements that were presented „„; to City Council have excluded federal funds. The annexation makes sense because it will provide more revenues and less expenses for what is now considered North Olmsted and Olmsted Township. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, would like to be considered for appointment to the Charter Review Commission. On the annexation issue, Mr. Lambert suggested that Council vote unanimously so that a clear, business-like message is sent to the citizens of Olmsted Township that North Olmsted is serious in its proposal. Mr. Lambert complimented Mrs. Bahas on her years of service as a Council Member, wished her the best of luck and said that the community would be a little less rich without her. Otto Rousek, 27173 Cook Road, Olmsted Township, spoke against the annexation. Mr. Rousek said that he and many people he has spoken to like their way of life and are satisfied with the services provided by Cuyahoga County. Also, they do not want development and do not necessarily want any sort of senior housing. They are happy with the status quo. Mr. Rousek noted that he believed the Township master plan did not include much development anywhere on Cook Road, but instead provided for development on Bagley Road. Mayor Boyle commented that Mr. Rousek may have been misinformed as to the amount of development provided for in the Township master plan. He explained to Mr. Rousek that North Olmsted has offered to accept the Township master plan which does provide for the area west of Stearns Road to be developed with light industry. The Mayor feels it is contradictory for the residents to say they want the Township to stay rural when their master plan calls for such a large area to be developed as light industry. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 94-162 introduced by Mr. Musial was given its third reading. An ordinance establishing certain health care benefits for the position of Council at-Large for the period commencing January 1, 1996 and ending December 31, 1999. Mr. Musial moved to table the ordinance; second by Mr. McKay. For the record, Mr. Musial commented the reason Ordinance 94-162 was being tabled was that Ordinance 94-161, which established the salary for newly elected Council Members-at-Large, had not included hospitalization benefits. Hospitalization benefits will not be a benefit offered to the newly elected Council Members-at-Large. The motion to table the ordinance passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 94-162 tabled. Ordinance No. 94-184 introduced by Mr. McKay on behalf of Mayor Boyle was given its third reading. An ordinance authorizing the annexation of certain unincorporated territory currently located in Olmsted Township to the City of North Olmsted, directing the Director of Law to pursue measures necessary to effectuate such annexation, and declaring an emergency. Mr. McKay moved for adoption; second by Mr. Limpert; motion passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 94-184 adopted. x= 5 ... , .... . ,..~ ,M.. ~, ......._..~ ~.~< e.... , ,
