The committee unanimously recommended approval subject to the recommendations of the Planning Commission, ARB and BZA Mr. Gareau moved that Council approve subject to the recommendations of Planning Commission, ARB and BZA. Mr. Miller seconded the motion, and it was unanimously approved. Mr. McKay, Chairperson of the Environmental Control Committee. 1) A joint meeting of Environmental Control and Finance Committees was held on Tuesday, May 12. Present were Councilpersons O'Grady, Nashar, Gareau, Miller, Kasler, Limpert, McKay and Finance Director Copfer. The committees discussed Ordinance 98-57, which will eliminate the service charge for city refuse pick-up at multi-family residence in North Olmsted. Due to the fact that the city has never collected the $1 per week charge for the revenues, it will not affect our coffers. The committee members wished to remove any doubt that we discriminate against people who live in multi-family residences and, therefore, recommended passage of the ordinance. Mr. O'Grady, Chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The committee met on May 12.. Present were committee members O'Grady, Limpert and Kasler; Council members Nashar, Gareau, Miller and McKay; Finance Director Copfer and Assistant Law Director Dubelko; North Olmsted City Schools Treasurer Robert Matson. a. The first agenda item was Ordinance 98-50 which deals with a community reinvestment tax area agreement between the city and Duke Realty for the construction of an office building at the Great Northern Corporate Center. Duke had initially sought a 7S% tax abatement on the building for a period of 1 S years. Through negotiations with the city administration, it was agreed that there would be a 68% abatement on the new building for a period of 10 years. A separate agreement will be reached with the North Olmsted City Schools to ensure that they do not lose any revenue due to the tax abatement given by the city. Treasurer Matson from the schools had no objection to the ordinance. Projected revenue to the city after payment is made to the North Olmsted City Schools is approximately $38,000 for the first year and approximately $119,000 each year thereafter during the term of the abatement. The committee recommended approval 2 to 1 with Mrs. Kasler against. The committee recommended passage under suspension of the rules at the special Council meeting.
