Council Minutes of 10-05-2021 • Kelly Patrick filed an amended complaint in her suit against the City, removing Mr. Gordillo and Director Gareau. The City still believes the case does not have merit and is asking the court to have the case completely dismissed. Director of Finance Copfer: • The County sent out the triannual appraisal analysis. On average homes increased 20% in value in North Olmsted. However, this does not mean taxes will go up by the same percentage. The County analyzed by neighborhood groups and like homes. Community meetings begin this week and the one at the North Olmsted library is on October 12. There are multiple meetings throughout the county and residents are welcome to attend any of the meetings. The appeal to the Board of Revision for those who want to contest their values is open from January 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022. • The August financial summary and detailed financial reports were e-mailed to Council today. Included is a summary comparison to August 2019 as nothing is really comparable to 2020. While property and municipal taxes are more comparable to 2019 the charges for services and fines are well below 2019. • The pre-bid audit meeting was held this morning with five companies interested in putting in a bid for the five-year contract to audit North Olmsted.
