Council Minutes of 12-15-2015 • Due to this great weather, Springvale Golf Course is doing well. This weekend, the golf course grossed almost $8,000. The year to date revenues are $1,072,000. Projected revenues were a little over $1 million, so the course is ahead of schedule. Director of Law Gareau: • Last Friday, his uncle, Lou Cifranic from the Building Dept., passed away. He had been with the City of North Olmsted for a very long period of time. He asked that everyone keep Lou Cifranic in their thoughts and prayers. He asked for a moment of silence. Director of Finance Copfer: • No report. Council President Jones, Committee of the Whole: The Committee of the Whole met Tuesday, December 8, 2015 at 7:25 p.m. Present were all members of Council, Mayor Kennedy, Finance Director Copfer, Planning and Development Director Wenger, Springvale Facility Manager Sarah Metcalf and guests. • The meeting was to provide Council with additional information regarding changes to the Springvale Master Plan, most of which were contained in Phase I proposed capital improvements.
