Council Minutes of 3/18/2003 hoped during the committee meeting the point is made, if a document is determined to be fraudulent, that it be referred to the County Prosecutor's office for further follow-up. Councilman McKay, chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The Finance Committee met on Tuesday, March 11. Present were committee members Limpert, McKay, Kasler; Council Members Gareau, Nashar and Dailey; Council President O'Grady; Mayor Musial, Law Director Dubelko, Finance Director Copfer, Safety Director Jesse, Personnel Director Farver; three representatives from Medical Mutual. The following items were discussed: Ordinance 2003-40, an ordinance authorizing the Mayor of the City of North Olmsted to enter into an agreement with Medical Mutual of Ohio to provide third-party administrative services and astop-loss insurance program to the city in connection with the city's self-insured health care program. The committee recommended that the city cominue the third-party administrative services and stop-loss insurance policy as this is a supplement to the city's self-insurance. The health care program is a safety net should the medical expenses exceed apre-set dollar amount per person. The current increase is approximately 14%, which may sound a little high but the city could possibly look at controlling the costs by increasing co-pays, deductibles, employee contributions, the annual market studies and the benefit levels and employee education. The committee recommended approval. Resolution 2003-37, a resolution authorizing the Mayor to advertise for bids for catch basins, manholes, sidewalks, curbing and pavement repairs at various locations in the City of North Olmsted. This resolution is necessary to continue the repairs throughout the city, and the committee recommended approval. Ordinance 2002-200. This is an ordinance creating a new and revised city salary range ordinance in order to clarify that certain non-bargaining unit employees listed in the city salary range ordinance may, subject to the applicable provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, receive compensatory time off in lieu of paid overtime compensation, for the city's various administrative and legislative personnel, and otherwise re-establishing the rates of compensation for various administrative and legislative personnel. Section 16 deals with the comp time. This is the time worked in excess of 8 hours a day or 40 hours per week. After much discussion, the Council determined that directors should be entitled to some comp time. In question was the number of hows and the time that it was to be used in and whether or not it could be accumulated. This will be discussed further at the next committee meeting. 2) The Finance Committee met again on Saturday, March 15.
