Council Minutes of 10/18/2005 Mr. Miller commented that, with regard to the EPA, what they may allow may still be objectionable to the residents, which is his concern. As to Resolution 2005-147, he finds it unacceptable to support an issue to give the state administration, which does not have a good track record on handling money, more money. Mayor O'Grady answered that Issue I won't raise taxes. The funds needed to operate Issue I, should it pass, are already built into the budget. This issue will hopefully promote high paying jobs from good firms in our state. Also, what used to be called Issue 2, which helped build roads, bridges, and infrastructure, are rolled into Issue I now. Our city has benefited greatly from Issue 2 in the past. At one time, there was discussion about sewage from Fairview Park in the Clague Road area being dumped into our sewage plant. Is that still going on and are we trying to reduce that? Mr. Gareau answered that Fairview Park's Ward V is actually a part of the North Olmsted WWTP service area, as are portions of Olmsted Township.
