Council Minutes of 9-18-2018 yearly piece of legislation so the City can get its funds due from the County.

A Resolution approving of and authorizing the Mayor to enter into a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police/Ohio Labor Council for the Blue and Gold Units and with the Corrections Officers, for the period January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020, and declaring an emergency. According to the Director of Human Resources, it's a retroactive 2.5% raise for 2018, a 2.5% for 2019 and two percent for 2020. This is in line with the other City employee contracts and the bargaining units will join the new health care plan in 2019. The committee voted to recommend to Council 2-0 with suspension. Suspension was subject to the signed contract from the Union representatives which Council does have in hand. • Discussed last was Ordinance 2018-85. An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into a Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) Agreement with Omni Senior Living, LLC. for the North Olmsted Senior Living Community Project, and declaring an emergency. This is in connection with a development proposed for nine acres and a total of seven parcels. The development will include single family houses, apartments and assisted living areas for seniors. There will be fifty jobs with a $2.2 million payroll and an estimated income tax increase of about $44,000. Although the CRA will give a tax break of 50% for 15 years on the real estate taxes, the majority of this property is presently taxed as agriculture land, therefore upon completion, the City, County and Schools will all receive a substantial increase in spite of the tax break. As much as the City hates to lose long time businesses, this is the type of development the City hopes to encourage on the west end and it fits in with our recent zoning changes and fills a need for senior housing.
