Mr. Limpert, Chairperson of the Intra-Governmental Relations and Legislation; Long- Range Planning Committee: 1) The committee met on September 24 to discuss Resolution No. 98-104. This resolution supports Governor Voinovich's campaign to oppose mandatory participation by state and local government employees in the Social Security system. It would be a disservice to the city's employees if we were to have them lose their PERS program. The committee recommended approval. Mr. O'Grady, Chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The committee met on September 24. Present were committee members O'Grady, Limpert and Kasler; Council Members Nashar, McKay, Saringer, Gareau and Miller; directors of Finance and Service; City Engineer Deichmann. Agenda items were as follows: a. Resolution 98-101, which adopts the budget of the City of North Olmsted for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1999 and submits this budget to the County Auditor. The committee previously reviewed the resolution and no discrepancies were found. This budget serves as a guide, and adjustments can be made later if needed. After review by the Finance Committee, the resolution was unanimously recommended for approval and suspension of the rules. During the special Council meeting which followed the Finance Committee meeting on September 24, Resolution 98-101 was unanimously adopted by Council under suspension of the rule requiring three readings. b.

The committee unanimously recommended approval. c. Ordinance 98-103, to make and transfer appropriations for current expenses.
