mow' Council Minutes 10-21-2008 ~~ Board of Control, to enter into an agreement with the firm selected in the RFP process; and declaring an emergency. This was actually on third reading at the last meeting and removed from the agenda and sent back to committee. There was no additional information provided, so the discussion was very brief. In committee, Councilman Gazeau made a motion to recommend approval. It was seconded by Councilman Barker and unanimously approved. • Ordinance 2008-124, an ordinance to make and transfer appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures for the City of North Olmsted for the year ending December 31, 2008 as amended. This is a transfer ordinance and it should be noted that the numbers appearing in the legislation assume that transfer Ordinance 2008-121 has passed. Ordinance 2008-121 will be voted on tonight; and, if it is not approved, then there aze going to be amendments needed to be made to Ordinance 2008-124. The concept of reviewing it was with the understanding that Ordinance 2008-121 was not yet approved. Finance Director Copfer explained the transfers: There was a reduction in Bureau of Workers Compensation obligations-additional funding that was appropriated that was not needed was redirected to purchase fuel and parts within the Division of Fire as well as a need to purchase additional medical supplies within the Division of Fire. The $50,000 to the Public Way Mgt. apparently was in a different line item. A new line item was created, and the best place to put it was within the Public Way Mgt. It includes fertilizer, weed control, engineering fees. There was an additional $32,000 appropriated from the Land Acquisition Fund, which had a balance at the start of the year of $218,000, for architectural engineering and legal ads for renovations to the City Hall campus. This is not final approval on the project itself, but it is approval to move forward with expenses in order to award a contract to get in the detailed drawings and renderings and architectural components of the renovations of the room. (The area to be renovated was abandoned by the Service Dept, when the NOMBL area became available for use. This area to be renovated parallels the Finance and Human Res©urces Departments.) The renovations aze to be funded from the Land Acquisition Fund & Building Improvement Fund. The monies in that fund came from the sale of the library to the schools. The argument at the time was that the money would be put into a separate fund, rather than the General Fund, to improve the property that we have or to purchase additional property. He will make the floor plan available for anyone who wishes to see it. Other transfers in the legislation included reducing Springvale's appropriation by $84,183 due to a projected shortfall in revenue due to the weather in the spring and current downturn in golf, which has been a pattern over the past couple of years. There is an additional requirement of $26,810 in order to complete the Kennedy Ridge Road project. (The committee unanimously recommended approval of the legislation.) Councilman Gareau made a motion to amend Ordinance 2008-124 to include the additional $26,810 in order to complete the Kennedy Ridge Road project. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker and passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2008-124 amended. Finance Director Copfer noted that another amendment, $2,250 for the football endowment, needed to be made. Councilman Gareau agreed and made a second motion to the legislation for a football endowment of 5
