Council Minutes of 8-1-2017 disagreement. The Director of Law felt it was important to take a principled position and stated he would do it again. • A few years ago the City had a resident who had a pig in the backyard. This had been an ongoing issue with the resident. The City had several property maintenance charges levied against her. She was found guilty on two of them and she has appealed the ruling to the District Court of Appeals. • This Friday, the City will undertake a mediation with the City of North Olmsted School District with the purpose of seeking a resolution on the dispute of the Pine property. • In the past couple of weeks, the Law Department had the opportunity to have a meeting with an insurance carrier to discuss allocation of risk in certain activities the City is involved in and even if not directly involved, when people use city property. There was a good discussion with the representative about what they would like to see moving forward in our limiting risks. One of the big ones was amusement rides. Unfortunately, in a very short time after the meeting we saw the accident at the State Fair in Columbus. If something like that happened in North Olmsted, it would be a tragedy and everyone would be getting sued whether they thought it was justified or not. As a result of this meeting the City is going to make some good decisions moving forward involving risk and hopefully nothing like that would ever happen here. Director of Finance Copfer: • The December 31St, 2016 CAFR was filed with the GFOA on July 25th. The general purpose statements were filed at the end of May with the State Auditor's office.
