Council Minutes of 2-19-2019 also money contributed from Olmsted "Township and I believe Cuyahoga County as well. IIopefully, this matter will be brought to a close, if the judge approves it, and we can move on and learn from this situation as we have a lot of data that was pulled together by the insurance company. It has been a long experience, but I'm glad it's about to conclude. • Andrea Lucarelli has sued Peggy Mallett and has named the City of North Olmsted and Jeff Gruscnmcyer as additional defendants. I do not believe there is any liability on the City o£ North Olmsted. This will not be referred to the insurance company, it will be handled in house. I do not believe there is any liability or exposure, I'm not even sure what she is claiming the City did or did not do, but it will be defended vigorously. • I did have the opportunity to present, with Director Lieber's assistance, a refresher to members of the BZBA on the different standards of review. If anyone would like a copy of that, please let me know and I would be happy to share it with you. Director of Finance Copfer: • The year-end cash balance summary and revenue reports were sent to Council on Friday, February 8« and the fourth quarter analysis was sent on Tuesday, February 12. The annual estimate was sent on Thursday the 14"'. The annual estimate takes the unencumbered balances from 2018 and puts in the current estimated resources to come up with the total estimated resources for 2019. Next, it applies the operational appropriations and the Capital Budget to come up with projected ending balances for 2019 and the City is required to make sure total expenditures do not exceed total revenues in order to get a do not exceed certificate. This annual estimate is a requirement of our Charter.

An Ordinance dispensing with the Request for Proposal Process ("RFP") and authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with John Patrick Picard Architect, Inc., to provide professional design services to the City for repair of the Police Station enclosure and roof replacement, and declaring an emergency. This was a fairly quick meeting as this had been discussed during the Budget Hearings. This project is a combination of necessity based on the current condition of the roof as well as to enclose and add much needed office space. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council with suspension. Councilwoman Williamson Chairwoman of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 2
