Council Minutes of 11/8/2000
<br />when real property taxes are due and owing. Ordinance 99-113 was approved by the
<br />Planning Commission on September 28, 1999. The BZD Committee recommended
<br />approval; however, it is being held for review and possible amendment by the Law
<br />Department.
<br />• Ordinance 2000-81, which creates new and revised Sections 1136.04 and 1136.05 of
<br />Chapter 1136 of the Zoning Code, entitled respectively, "Permitted Buildings and
<br />Uses," and "Area and Density Requirements," so as to permit golf courses, and
<br />buildings associated with and/or related to the operation of golf courses, as accessory
<br />uses in Single Family Cluster Districts. This ordinance was approved by the Planning
<br />Commission. The BZD Committee recommended approval.
<br />• Ordinance 2000-118, which creates a new Section of 1139.12 of Chapter 1139, of the
<br />Zoning Code entitled "Irrigation of Landscaped Areas" so as to require that all
<br />landscaped areas located on parcels of land within the General Retail Business
<br />District be serviced by an underground irrigation system. This ordinance was not
<br />recommended by the Planning Commission. The BZD Committee voted two to one in
<br />favor of this legislation. The legislation is currently being held in committee.
<br />Mr. McKay, chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The committee met on
<br />October 24. Present were committee members Limpert, O'Grady and McKay; Council
<br />members Nashar, Miller, and President of Council Saringer; Mayor Musial, Service
<br />Director Bohlmann, Safety Director Jenkins, Finance Director Copfer, Wastewater
<br />Treatment Plant employees Dennis Long, Bob Nichols, and Barry Boehnlein. The
<br />following items were discussed:
<br />• Ordinance 2000-137, which would permit the Service Director to extend the lease for
<br />the Dewatering Centrifuge System for three months. The purpose of leasing this unit
<br />was to compare the Centrifuge unit performance to the Zimpro unit. The operational
<br />cost was $40,000 less per quarter with the Centrifuge unit, and the Centrifuge unit
<br />operates within the EPA regulations. The odor problem will be reduced when the
<br />unit is moved inside the building along with the waste storage. Our present lease will
<br />expire on November 9, 2000. The lease must be renewed to continue the Dewatering
<br />Centrifuge System. The lease shall not exceed $109,000. If the lease is renewed, the
<br />city will have the option to buy the unit at the end of three months. The problems
<br />facing Council are the cost of the three-month lease plan, plus the cost of the unit.
<br />The cost of the machine is $182,000. Council had asked if the cost of the lease could
<br />be applied toward the purchase price and was informed that it could not. If a new unit
<br />is purchased from a dealer, delivery time, including set up and making sure that it is
<br />running properly, will take about 12 months. The cost of a new unit would be
<br />$250,000 if purchased from a dealer. The committee decided to continue the
<br />discussion on October 30 in order to allow time to get answers to questions
<br />concerning guarantees or warrantees
<br />• Ordinance 2000-143, which is a transfer ordinance on the appropriations for the
<br />current year. The transfers occur in the Data Processing Department, $1,820;
<br />division of the general staff, $11,000; general administration, $22,000; North Olmsted
<br />Municipal Bus Line, $20,000, recreation fund, $3,500; sanitary sewer fund, $35,400;
<br />street sign to street lighting, $6,000. The committee recommended approval.
