Council Minutes of 12-21-2004 payroll, so the live date is being moved back until the department is confident the payroll will process properly and record properly. 4) Other parts of the new system are moving forward-the new printer was received today, signature plates were ordered, new forms were ordered, and the W2 processing plans are moving forward. 5) The department received approval from the Ohio Historical Society on the Finance Dept. records retention schedule and also with the one-time destruction of records that are outside of that retention schedule. There is a certain waiting period, which has come and gone but nothing will be done at this time as other projects take precedence. Receiving approval was a big milestone. 6) A very Blessed Christmas to all and a healthy and prosperous New Year. President O'Grady: 1) The Committee-of--the-Whole meeting was held on December 14. Present were the President of Council, Council Members McKay, Gareau, Nashar, Limpert, Miller and Dailey; the Mayor, the Directors of Human Resources, Planning, Safety and Law and Fire Chief Klecan. Present from the North Olmsted City School System were Superintendent Kurt Stanic, School Board President Mike Raig, School Board member John Lasko and facilities chief Joe Hyland. The subject for the Committee-of--the-Whole was a presentation to Council from the North Olmsted City Schools with regard to an anticipated upcoming school levy. Superintendent Stanic emphasized that improvements have occurred within the schools. Athletic improvements, for example, that were initiated and carried off in great measure due to public participation and the actions of parents and students. But he emphasized that more is needed. What they anticipate is potentially a $35 million project that would use existing facilities on the Pine campus, which is a 19-acre campus and was originally built to be a junior high. Additions would be made to that building to make it the new middle school. Other improvements are anticipated for other buildings in the district, most notably expanding some of the capacity at the high school with regard to band and other facilities. It was emphasized by members of the school board that this is a cooperative project. Scheduled in early January are community forums that will be held in three different regions. Citizen input is very much welcome and appreciated. Councilman McKay, chairman of the Environmental Control Committee: 1) The Environmental Committee met on Tuesday, December 14. Present were committee members Dailey, Nashar and McKay; Council members Gareau, Miller, Limpert and Council President O'Grady; Law Director Dubelko, Service Director Driscoll, Safety Director Jesse, WWTP Superintendent Nichols.
