Council Minutes of 12-05-2017 • The Finance Department has been working on the budget and hopefully Council will find it in a good format. The Divisions have been working on it since about August and Council should find it very informative.

An Ordinance to make and transfer appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures for the City of North Olmsted for the year ending December 31, 2017, and declaring an emergency.

An Ordinance appropriating funds for the Call Processing/Voice Mail System Project and further authorizing the Director of Human Resources to solicit proposals for the Call Processing/Voice Mail System and, subject to approval of the Board of Control, additionally authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for such system, and declaring an emergency.

The committee voted 3- 0 to recommend to Council with suspension. • Discussed last was Resolution 2017-87. A Resolution to solicit RFP's for redundant fiber lines for the Police and Fire Departments in conjunction with the Call Processing/Voice Mail System Project and further authorizing the Director of Human Resources to solicit proposals for the police and fire portion of the project and, subject to approval of the Board of Control, additionally authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for such fiber lines, and declaring an emergency.
