Council Minutes of 11-15-2016 • The third quarter financial analysis detail and summary revenue and expenditure reports for September 30, 2016 were emailed to Council, Mayor and Directors on November 1. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. If you'd like to schedule some time in a committee meeting, maybe during budget hearings, I can talk about specific questions or give a general overview. Councilman Barker, Chairman of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: The Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee met on Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. Present were committee members Barker and Williamson; Council members Kearney, Schumann, Hemann and Limpert; Mayor Kennedy, Finance Director Copfer, Safety & Service Director Glauner, Planning & Development Director Wenger and guests. • Discussed was 2016-124 an Ordinance to allow the upgrade of traffic signals and signal systems along Lorain Road (SR -10) in the City of North Olmsted, and Declaring an Emergency. This is an agreement between North Olmsted and ODOT to let ODOT run the project. Since they have done this numerous times throughout the State it makes sense instead of us trying to reinvent the wheel. After a very brief discussion, a motion was made by Councilman Barker and seconded by Councilwoman Williamson to recommend approval to Council with suspension. The vote was 2 to 0 in favor. Councilman Kearney, Chairman of the Finance Committee: The Finance Committee met on Wednesday, November 9, 2016 at 7:40 p.m. Present were committee members Kearney, Schumann and Barker; Council members Hemann, Limpert, Williamson and President Jones; Mayor Kennedy, Finance Director Copfer, Assistant Finance Director Sperling, Law Director Gareau, Safety & Service Director Glauner, Planning & Development Director Wenger, Human Resources Director Gallo, City Engineer, Becki Kovach from the Mayor's Office, Kathi Cole from the Mayor's Court and guests. • Discussed was Ordinance 2016-123. An Ordinance amending the rates of compensation for various administrative and legislative personnel for 2016 to adjust the salary range for the Maintenance and Event Coordinator positions in the Division of Springvale Golf Course (Section 9) to meet federal guidelines; to adjust the salary range for Mayor's Court Support Personnel (Section 4) for uniformity; to adjust the 2017 salary range for part-time Dispatchers (Section 8) to be competitive with surrounding communities; and to otherwise restate the compensation rates and descriptions for various administrative and legislative personnel for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, and declaring an emergency, as amended. This ordinance increases the pay range for two employees so their wages comply with the updates made to the FLSA overtime regulations. This ordinance also includes an increase in pay range for part-time positions in the City. An amendment was requested to increase the salary range for part-time police dispatchers. The committee voted 3-0 in favor as amended with suspension. 3
