Council Minutes of 8-20-2019 The Finance Committee met on Tuesday, August 13, 2019 at 7:57 p.m. Present were committee members Schumann, Brossard and Kearney; Council members Hemann, Glassburn, Limpert and Williamson; Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Director of Safety & Service Glauner, Director of Planning & Development Lieber and guests. • Discussed first was Resolution 2019-70. A Resolution authorizing the Director of Planning and Development to make application on behalf of the City of North Olmsted for an Ohio History Fund grant through the Ohio History Connection to produce a local history public event; further authorizing the use of City funds for local match; further authorizing the Mayor to accept funds, if awarded, and to execute contracts as required; and declaring an emergency. Director Lieber said if the grant is awarded an event will be held at the Frostville Museum next year to celebrate local history. It will include bus tours of historic properties in the City. This was a successful event four years ago during the bicentennial celebration. The event will be sponsored by the North Olmsted Landmarks Commission with the support of the Olmsted Historical Society and others. The committee voted to recommend to Council 3-0. • Discussed next was Resolution 2019-71. A Resolution authorizing the Director of Human Resources to solicit proposals for excess insurance coverage for the City's Health Care & Hospitalization Plans for 2020; and further authorizing the Mayor, subject to approval of the Board of Control, to enter into a contract for services. Director Gallo explained this is to get bids for catastrophic health insurance as the City is self-insured. This will limit liability for exceptional incidents. The committee voted to recommend to Council 3-0. Councilwoman Hemann asked for a moment of personal privilege. I would like to thank the Mayor for bringing the Flags of Honor project to our City. I have attended it twice and I think the Council President went once with me. It's sad because each of our fallen soldiers has a flag with his or her name on it that is then presented and placed. Generally, there are so many, sadly, the public has to assist in placing the flags. So if you are at the event, please don't be shy about that. I know the Mayor worked closely with the VFW. But, if you have not seen it before, it is a very interesting and kind of sad, but honorable event. Thank you. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION None.
