Council Minutes of 3/S/02 some of the finest people in our community are ready to pack up and leave. In that case, he believes that Council should step forward and speak on behalf of the levy that will benefit our community. Don Pangrac, 23470 Sharon Drive, again noted that North Olmsted is spending $7 million more ihan North Royahon to educate their children while North Royalton scores 27 out of 27 poims and North Olmsted scores 21 out of 27 points on their "report cards." Mr. Pangrac suggested that before endorsing the school levy that people should do some research--the State of Ohio's website does provide useful information. Mr. A+filler said there are many issues to be reviewed when comparing one city to another. We do not know the financial structure of North Royalton, nor do we know about their buildings, equipment, buses, etc. There may be other cities that even do better than North Royahon. Mr. McKay noted that berth sides of the issue have to be examined. As Mr. Miller noted, people will leave the city because they fear their children will not get a quality education. However, other people may have to leave because they cannot pay the tax increase. L,_,EG~~1TUN Ordinance No. 2001-158 irnroduced by Councilmen Miller and Limpert was given its third reading.
