Council Minutes of 6/16/98 Community Council representatives Yvonne Petrigac and Bruce Pierson. Mr. Pierson provided a history of the underground wiring project at North Olmsted Park and a proposal to significantly reduce project costs. His presentation raised numerous concerns from members of Council and the administration to include the retention of overhead wires and the use of aluminum wire instead of copper. Aluminum wire is considerably less expensive, which considerably reduced the cost of the project; however, aluminum wire is also considered to be a fire hazard. As such, is unacceptable to the city. Community Council representatives will conduct follow-up meetings with the Service Director to determine and explore other options. 2) The Finance Committee meeting temporarily adjourned at 6:40 to allow other business to be conducted and reconvened at 7:30. The following items were discussed: a. Ordinance 98-61 covers the corrections officers' contract which was completely rewritten to closely parallel the police officer contract. The committee unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 98-61 and requests suspension of the rule requiring three readings. b. Ordinance 98-62 covers the North Olmsted Municipal Bus Line salaried employees contract which reflected a 3% increase. The committee unanimously recommended approval and requests suspension of the rule requiring three readings. c. Ordinance 98-65 establishes the organization and composition of the Police Department non-uniform part-time personnel. The committee unanimously recommended approval and requests suspension of the rule requiring three readings. d. Ordinance 98-66 authorizes the Mayor to enter into a collective bargaining agreement with the North Olmsted Transit Employees Association. After discussion of key points of the agreement, which included issues such as job security, health coverage and criminaUcivil legal costs, the committee unanimously recommended approval and will request suspension of the rule requiring three readings.
