Council Minutes of 2/1/2005 strongly that the school's art program be included in the displays and asked if that would happen. Finance Director Copfer said she believed that would occur, and they would probably focus on the teen room. Mayor Musial said he is attempting to get the high school art instructor on the committee which will meet with the art consultant. Finance Director Copfer: 1) The W2's have been distributed to employees. These were converted employee 2004 accumulator files off the old system. This was a critical milestone. The W2 form had changed, and the department knew from the beginning of the year the forms could not be printed on the old system as our version was no longer supported for any such changes, including IRS changes. 2) The department successfully converted and loaded the employee master information, employee deductions and have all employees attached to a job classification employee or bargaining group and salary tables and/or a specific wage type. Testing of the system began this week by entering information from the January 14 payroll, and it is being done department by department because there are specialized items for various departments. 3) She has met with the Mayor and his directors regarding the 2005 budget and has requested that it be presented in the new MUNIS format. They are in the process of complying with that. Her department will enter their budgets next week, and she will begin to compile the revenue projections for 2005. She and the Mayor are committed to making the February 1 S deadline. 4) The RITA subpoena program is going on this week, and they are doing a good job of catching people up.

Councilman McKay, chairperson of the Environmental Control Committee: 1) The committee met on Tuesday, January 25. Present were all Council members, Service Director Driscoll, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent Bob Nichols, and guests. The committee discussed Resolution 2005-10, which is a resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into aone-year agreement with the City of North Royalton, Ohio, for stabilization and disposal of biosolids generated by the North Olmsted Wastewater Treatment Plant and declaring an emergency.
