Council Minutes of 3!5/02 ~,,. Councilman Miller noted that Mr. O'Grady had commerned that he would only report out as to committee members, not other Council members or members of the administration. Actually, he had indicated that he would continue to report what committee members attended and any invited members of the administration and the public if there were contributory comments made by those individuals. Councilman McKay, chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The Finance Committee met on Tuesday, February 2b. Present were all committee members Kesler, Limpert and McKay. Also in attendance were Mayor Musial, Council members Dailey, Nashar and Miller, Council President O'Grady, Finance Director Copfer, Law Director Dubellco, City Engineer Deichmann, NOMBL General Manager Terbrack and RTA representatives Mrs. Peke and Mr. Shaffer. Agenda items were as follows: • Ordinance 2002-24 which establishes the compensation and benefits to be paid to all part time hourly employees employed by the North Olmsted Municipal Bus Line. The benefits and wages are similar to those presently offered to the employees of the Greater Cleveland RTA, and the city is reimbursed for wages to the part-time employees. The committee recommended approval. • Ordinance 2002-28 which is an agreement with RTA on who shall pay all costs associated with the acquisition of certain real property, all costs for the construction, maintenance and repair of the roadway into the Park-n-Ride. The agreemenrt also provides for the city to be held harmless of claims for liability and injury or damage which may arise. The committee recommended approval. • Ordinance 2001-127 which was referred to the Law Department for fiuther enhancement. The updates were made, and the committee will review the ordinance at its next meeting. Councilman Gateau asked Mr. McKay whether the status of the bus garage project was discussed with RTA and if a commitment was made. He is mentioning this now because, when he voted on proceeding with the Park-n-Ride, it was with the understanding that it meant keeping jobs in North Olmsted and the future of our bus line and that there would also be a new bus garage. Mr. McKay said he believed the bus garage would be put on the agenda for 2003, depending on whether or not RTA had the funds. Mrs. Kesler agreed with Mr. McKay's response but wondered whether that had been a commitmern on the part of RTA.
