Council Minutes of 3/16/99 members of the commission and committee would like a bottom line figure of any additional funding that might be available to recreation. • A request was made of Mr. Jenkins to have a prioritized list of needs, highlighting safety needs and including estimates if possible. • A request of the administration in general to investigate other areas of funding that might be available and designate it for Recreation Department purposes. These requests were placed in writing and submitted to the Mayor and all parties with the hope that aresponse-at least in draft form-will be received by ne}ct Council meeting so that another joint meeting of these two organizations can be scheduled. Mr. O'Grady, Chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The committee met on March 8. Present were committee members O'Grady, Kasler and Limpert; Council members McKay, Miller and Gareau; directors of Finance, Service and Safety. The following items were discussed: • Ordinance 99-29, which is an ordinance to transfer funds from the North Olmsted Municipal Bus Line Fund to the General Fund in the amount of $120,153. This amount is based upon the 1995 and 1996 audits which show these funds as owed to the City of North Olmsted from the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority for parts owned by the City of North Olmsted. The committee unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 99-29. • Ordinance 99-30, which establishes an account in the Wastewater Treatment Plant Fund for the purpose of improving the city's sanitary sewers by constructing and reconstructing the city's storm sewers and other storm water drainage facilities. One hundred and ten thousand dollars will be placed into this fund to address storm water channels which are degrading sanitary systems. The committee unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 99-30. • Ordinance 99-32, which establishes a Community Diversion Fund within the Special Reserve Fund Group. This fund will be used for community diversion funds which pass through the city accounts. Since these funds are federal, they do require a separate fund. The committee has unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 99-32. 2) The Finance Committee met on March 10. Present were committee members O'Grady and Kasler; Council members Nashar, Gareau and Miller; directors of Finance, Service and Safety; Tom Terbrack from the North Olmsted Municipal Bus Line; Chief Osterhouse and Captain Ed Bak from the North Olmsted Fire Department and Chief Ruple from the North Olmsted Police Department. This was the first meeting of the Finance Committee's review of appropriations for the city. Since the review of the appropriations is on-going, this will serve only as an interim report and a complete report will follow after the appropriations have been completed. It should be further noted that the book is still open on all accounts that have been reviewed so that Council can produce a final appropriation that reflects the most efficient and equitable use of city funds. On this date, the committee reviewed appropriations for the North Olmsted Municipal Bus Line, the North Olmsted Fire Department and the North Olmsted Police Department. 3 ., ...._ ,_. -~_ ~ E ~~,~.: „~~, ._-, ., ,
