Council Minutes of 9/18/2001 a 10 day notice given by the Clerk of Council by certified mail to any property owners abutting city owned property when the city decides to sell that property. Mr. Miller explained that the purpose behind this ordinance was that in some circumstances in the past there was some fiustration on the part of residents expecting that the city would corninue to own certain property basically forever. And that, in fact, had they known it was going to be for sale, they may have wished to talk to the city about purchasing it themselves. So the requirement fora 10-day notice by the Clerk of Council was recommended in this ordinance. Discussion that the notice be given instead by the Clerk of Commissions and also by the Service Department was rejected by the committee because of the fact that the Clerk of Council is the one who deals with legislation and the notice directly relates to notifying residerns when legislation will be put forth on the sale. The committee unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 2001-107. • Resolution 2001-110, which supports HB 290 and SB 127, each of which represems an effort by the Ohio Legislature to reduce the cost of prescription drugs for senior citizens and others in the State of Ohio who either have no health insurance or are underinsured by establishing a state funded prescription discount program. Mr. Bill Kelly was called on to report on this issue as it was his information that initiated the resolution. As of the date of the committee meeting, he had collected 350 signatures backing the fair pricing act. Mr. Kelly gave the committee quite a bit of background information on the number of people in our state who are uninsured or underinsured. The resohtoion supports State Senate and House Bilts that provide for all Ohioans to have a prescription drug card provided by the state, and it would be provided to anyone who is uninsured or underinsured. The state would then be allowed to negotiate lower prices and pass those prices on to the cardholders. It has worked very effectively in other states. The committee unanimously recommended approval of Resolution 2001-110.
