Council Minutes of 5-18-2021 making some progress on getting the property cleaned up. It is an abandoned piece of property and we are trying to get the heirs to clean it up. There has been some success, but if not there will be a trial. • Another matter is City of North Olmsted v. Jacob Evans. This is on Edge Park Drive and is a property maintenance and zoning action. It is regarding multiple property maintenance violations and zoning. There is quite a bit of activity that is inconsistent with a residential neighborhood and with the language of our Zoning Code. This individual has been involved in other enforcement actions in the past. Director of Finance Copfer: • On Friday, May 14 the March monthly, year-to-date and first quarter reports were sent to the Administration and Council. • The Ohio Municipal League and Ohio Office of Budget and Management had short webinars on the monies coming from the Federal Government. The guidelines and rules are just now starting to be released so the webinars are starting to become more informative about the actual implementation. So the money can be accepted as soon as it is made available, the creation of a Special Revenue Fund is being introduced this evening. Also, unlike the CARES Act money that was meant to be pushed out and spent in a short amount of time, the ARPA monies are for more long term and the City will have until December 31, 2024 to spend the funds.

I'll just briefly note that I attended the last meeting of the Small Business Relief Board, of which one of the members is on with us tonight. I thank them for their service.
