Council Minutes of 9-4-2018 Councilman Schumann Chairman of the Finance Committee: The Finance Committee met on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. Present were committee members Schumann, Brossard and Kearney; Council members Glassburn, Hemann, Limpert and Williamson; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Director of Safety & Service Glauner, Director of Planning & Development Lieber and guests. • Discussed was Ordinance 2018-78. 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, 2018, and declaring an emergency. There were a handful of changes. There was a decrease of $10,000 under Civil Service Commission's contractual services and an increase of $10,000 under Division of Information Systems' contractual services. There was a $4,000 increase under contractual services and a decrease under capital outlay in the Division of Building. This was for street file scanning and archiving. Under the Division of Public Works, $15,000 was moved from salaries to contractual services for a wood chipping machine and stump grinder. Under Law Enforcement there was an increase of $63,500 for two new police cars that was approved by Council not long ago. There was a $460,000 change in the Capital Improvements fund of which $200,000 is a grant, $160,000 is for the new phone system and $100,000 is for disaster recovery. There was a decrease of about $168,000 in the Springvale accounts. Unfortunately, the Director wasn't here to explain it to us and I did not get the information ahead of time on it. The committee voted to recommend to Council 3-0, but requested more information be provided on the Springvale change. Councilman Limpert requested a moment of personal privilege. I know we talked about this throughout the course of the last three years with the school, but I thought now was a good point to just send a congratulations to the North Olmsted Board of Education. I thought they have done a great job over the last few months coordinating the farewell and walkthroughs of the high school and previously the middle school, but also the walkthroughs of the new building. I thought they did a great job engaging the community on that. I thank them for really putting forth a good effort and communication and allowing everyone to say farewell to the previous schools, but welcoming the new one. Great job to the Board of Education. Thank you. Councilman Glassburn requested a moment of personal privilege. I would like to acknowledge and thank Representative Greenspan. Representative Greenspan was helpful with the $200,000 grant that was referenced in the Finance Committee Report and he is here tonight. Thank you very much Representative.
