The motion was seconded by Council Member Dailey Jones and passed unanimously. Council Member Dailey Jones reported: 1) At the end of September, she and Messrs Kennedy, Barker, Gareau, Mahoney, Orlowski attended a meting of the Northeast Ohio City Council Association. The topic of discussion was a revenue sharing study that had been previously endorsed by the Mayors and Managers Association. This group of people is now coming to the city council association for an endorsement. The study is entering its second phase and is looking at the potential of having a regional revenue sharing mechanism in place for any new development that might come in to the county. The study is available on their website: www.revenuestudy.com. Council will be kept updated on the outcome of the study, which is just a study on that issue and not an endorsement of any type of potential mechanism. 2) As the Law Director indicated, the Fair Housing Review Board is hosting a fair housing seminar on October 22, which is not only for real estate agents but anyone who is interested in attending is more than welcome to do so. 3) As Mrs. Copfer mentioned in her report, they did have the opportunity to speak yesterday so some of the seniors at the North Olmsted High School who are already leaders in their class right now and clearly are going on to become leaders in whatever field in which they choose to work. She was absolutely impressed at how driven and organized they were already at 17 and 18 years old. She is certainly looking forward to seeing the contributions that they will be making. Mayor O'Grady commended Councilwoman Nicole Dailey Jones, Finance Director Copfer and others for taking part in the program at the high school. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATIQN Donald Pangrac, 23470 Sharon Drive, noted that Ordinance 2008-131 had been added to the agenda but a copy was not available.

Mr. Pangrac asked the Mayor about the status of the water report the city was working on with Westlake. Mayor O'Grady said that the administration continues to work in coordination with the City of Westlake to analyze how best to provide water to the citizens of this community. We have now completed a study done jointly by the two cities. The results, and we will have that presented to 9
