Council Minutes of 04-21-2015 Director of Law Gareau: • He briefed Council on the 2014 number of prosecutions for the City of North Olmsted in both Rocky River Municipal Court and North Olmsted Mayors Court. Director of Finance Copfer: • She sent Council and the Administration the month ending and year-to-date February 28, 2015 reports prior to the last Council meeting. Contact her with any questions and concerns. • She developed the calculations of the operating and capital payments due in 2015 with Fairview Park for their share of the sewer usage. She, the Law Director and the city's bond counsel negotiated any changes necessary to amend the capital agreement with Fairview Park officials this week. They have to wait until the final project is complete to get the final dollar amount to set the repayment amount, but they are on board with where it's at now and they feel it's a close estimate. • She and Assistant Finance Director Sperling met with three of the city's banks to discuss increasing efficiency and reducing costs. They have all been very helpful thus far. She plans on circulating an RFP in early summer for banking services.
