Council Minutes of 6/1/2004 buildings and further authorizing the Mayor, after Board of Control approval, to execute a contract with the lowest and best bidder. Ordinance No. 2004-102 was introduced and placed on first reading by Councilman Limpert on behalf of himself and Councilman Gareau. An ordinance amending Section One of Ordinance No. 2003-162, which established a new "Building and Land Acquisition and Improvement Fund" of the City of North Olmsted, so as to provide for said new fund to be a capital improvement fund, rather than a special revenue fund, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Limpert moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review and noted that this is just an accoutrting function and the basic concepts were discussed previously when Ordinance 2003-162 was passed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau and passed unanimously. Paul Barker, 23629 Carriage Lane, asked for clarification if this was the money from the sale of the library. Finance Director Copfer answered yes and explained, when a fund is created, it must have a designation as a certain type of fund. When the Building and Land Acquisition and Improvement Fund was created, it was incorrectly designated as a special revenue fund. It is a capital improvement fund type. So, this needs to be fixed, but it does not change any of the purposes. Councilman Gareau moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert and passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2004-102 adopted. Ordinance No. 2004-103 was irnroduced and placed on first reading by Councilman Gareau.

The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Miller, yes; Nashar, yes; Limpert, no with comment he does not feel Council has done its homework on looking on what is the norm for these sort of positions. He does not feel it is proper to be messing with the morale of key individuals for such small amounts. Roll call continued: Dailey, yes with comment that he did read the memo from the Mayor regarding his veto. He did give it some consideration. But after finding out that the directors came in for emergency purposes a total of three times between the two of them in all of 2003, it took away one of the arguments that the directors should have these cars in the event of emergencies.
