Council Minutes of 3-02-2021 The City will have a better indication after the first half settlement occurs in March or April, which is completely dependent on the County. Hotel/Motel collections are way down from January of a year ago, but they are about $2,000 ahead of December's collections and since they are collected a month in arrears December is really November's hotel sales. The Street Maintenance Fund gas tax is running below January of last year, but the weather and COVID both impacted travel, even by car. It's not the price of gas necessarily, but how much is sold.

An Ordinance amending Section 131.06 entitled, "Authority to Accept Donations" of Chapter 131 of the Administrative Code of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted, entitled "Mayor", in order to allow the Mayor to accept any cash or gift card donation to the Division of Youth and Family Services or Division of Aging. The Council President offered several amendments. The first is a change from $1,000 to $2,000 of fair market value requiring approval of Council. Another was Council must approve any donations from a company doing business or seeking to do business with the City. Additionally, Council must approve donations that propose improvements to public property, including real estate buildings and fixtures. Also proposed was raising the reporting requirements for donations from $250 to $500 and changing it so the report doesn't have to come prior to acceptance, but after. Finally, the administration must provide a report for donations from an individual or company that in aggregate are over $2,000 within 30 days of the end of the year. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council as amended. 2
