Council Minutes of 4-06-2021 Kennedy indicated both of these services, despite being separated into two pieces of legislation, would need to go together. Chief Wagner gave some details on both proposals. Councilman Limpert thought it was a good idea to move forward. Council President Jones asked which services would be included and Detective Fioritto provided information on the services included. Councilman Kelly asked about the rate on the prison portion. Councilwoman Williamson asked if our officers would be responsible for transportation and also about reimbursements for medical care. Councilman Glassburn asked about costs and Council received additional information regarding costs after the meeting. The committee voted 3-0 to hold the legislation in committee. • Discussed next was Ordinance 2021-21 An Ordinance creating new Section 109.09 entitled "Electronic Meetings" of Chapter 109 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted entitled, "Public Meetings" in order to establish procedures for the use of the electronic meeting format for public meetings of municipal bodies. Council President Jones introduced the topic. Councilwoman Hemann indicated she wanted to see all elected officials be in the City of North Olmsted to participate in the electronic meeting. Councilman Limpert asked about the provisions regarding audio issues. Director Gareau indicated the Charter would require there must be vocal affirmations for votes. Councilman Glassburn asked the Director of Law if there might be another remedy to allow a councilmember to vote as long as it did not change the outcome. The Director of Law said he would look into it. There was some disagreement between different councilmembers about Councilwoman Hemann's proposal to require elected officials to be in North Olmsted during the meetings. The consensus seems to be the residency issues should be addressed in Council rules as opposed to in the legislation which impacts not just the Council, but the Boards and Commissions. The committee voted 3-0 to hold the legislation in committee. The Intra -Governmental Relations Committee met again tonight Tuesday, April 6, 2021 at 7:30 p.m. Present were committee members Glassburn, Schumann and Hemann; Council members Brossard, Kelly and Williamson; Council President Jones; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Director of Law Gareau, Chief of Police Wagner and guests. • Discussed was Resolution 2021-24. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into contracts with the City of Fairview Park, Ohio for the purpose of providing the City of Fairview Park with police dispatch services and for the further purpose of housing Fairview Park prisoners in the North Olmsted City Jail. Councilman Glassburn indicated there was new information about the cost of prisoners and the cost of prisoners would exceed the rate paid for by Fairview Park, but that would be offset by the dispatch rates. Chief Wagner reiterated the benefit of both the contracts. Councilwoman Hemann was ok with the two proposals and Councilwoman Williamson asked about if there were going to be any additional liabilities for the City. Director Gareau indicated there would be reciprocal insurance agreements. The legislation was amended to include only the dispatch services and the prisoner services would be in a different piece of legislation. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council as amended. 0
