Council Minutes of 5-19-2020 really heroically in spite of facing impossible odds and I want to thank them for their hard work over the weekend. That concludes my comments. Thank you. Mayor Kennedy said the City does have the money, it just does not have the property. Councilman Schumann said he knows the City has the money and not the property. He said the sooner we can move on this the better and he appreciates the Mayor moving on this and he appreciates the Directors and Council will move on this as fast as possible as well. Councilwoman Hemann Chairwoman of the Environmental Control Committee: The Environmental Control Committee met on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 7:11 p.m. Present were committee members Hemann, Glassburn and Williamson; Council members Brossard, Kelly, Limpert and Schumann; Council President Jones; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Law Gareau, Director of Safety & Service Glauner, Director of Planning & Community Development Lieber, City Engineer DiFranco, Recreation Commissioner Drenski and guests. • Discussed first was Ordinance 2020-55. An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor and Finance Director to enter into an amendment of the Sewer Service Area defined by Exhibit B of the Sewer Service Agreement with the County of Cuyahoga, as amended and restated in 2013. The subject of the Ordinance was for an additional waste water tie-in to North Olmsted's Waste Water Treatment Plant in order to accommodate eight additional parcels of land located on the south side of John Road in Olmsted Township. The parcels are a total of 64.9 acres and represent a new housing development consisting of approximately 130 single family homes. Mr. DiFranco addressed the committee and provided a written report and a conceptual site map. He said there are currently eight sanitary entry points from Olmsted Township to North Olmsted. None of the eight connections are at or near capacity. Vice Chair Glassburn inquired about the connection fee, which is about $250,000 and what the permitted uses are for those funds. Director Copfer provided additional information on May 13 and in her report this evening. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. Councilwoman Hemann moved to amend Ordinance 2020-55 to add an emergency clause for the purpose of waiving the 30 day time period from the date of passing to the effective date in order that the Ordinance become effective immediately after passing to allow the Real Estate Developer to apply for the permits he needs to continue with the project. The motion was seconded by Councilman Glassburn and passed 5-2. Roll Call: Yes: Hemann, Williamson, Limpert, Kelly, Brossard No: Glassburn, Schumann Motion carried. Ordinance 2020-55 amended 5-2.
