retention purposes. Ms. Hemann made a motion to recommend, seconded by Mr. Scarl, that motion carried 2-0. The last item on the agenda was 2024-79, a Resolution authorizing the Director of Economic and Community Development to make application on behalf of the City of North Olmsted for the 2024 Cuyahoga County Supplemental Grant Program, further authorizing the Mayor to accept funds, if awarded, and to execute a contract as required and declaring an emergency. Director Upton addressed the committee and outlined the purpose of the grant funds, which will be part of the redevelopment of Old Town Hall. The funds will be in the amount of $50,000.00 and that there is no city match required. The grant funding will be used to install a Lula lift, which is a vertical platform lift making Old Town Hall ADA compliant and will be installed instead of an elevator. The Lula lift system is fully enclosed, will accommodate a guest in a wheelchair as well as another passenger, and will allow for four stops over 23 feet of travel, and operates in a fashion similar to an elevator without the extremely high cost of an elevator system. The Lula system operates on a hydraulic drive system with constant pressure controls, which eliminate the need for a costly machine room/ motor room. Multiple materials are offered for the enclosure system, with various acrylic or glass inserts with gates, doors, and ventilation options. Councilwoman Hemann made a motion to approve, and it was seconded by Mr. Scarl, that motion carried 2-0, and the meeting concluded at 8.01 p.m. That concludes my report. Thank you. Council President Brossard: Thank you, Councilman Glassburn, Chairman of the Finance Committee, do you have a report this evening? Councilman Glassburn: Yes, I do, Mr. President. The Finance Committee met last Tuesday in the Caucus room at 8:02 p.m. with Committee Members Glassburn and Scarl, as well as Council Members Gilchrist, Hemann, Madden, and Shymske, Directors of Law and Development, Safety Service, Recreation, and Special Assistant to the Mayor. There were a number of items on the docket for that night. • First was 2024-74, which was to amend the capital budget. This would add $125,000.00 of capital expense related to the creation of an expanded North Olmsted Dispatch Center. That was favorably recommended 2-0. • Next was 2024-75, the transfer ordinance. This would allocate funds towards the new dispatch center, North Olmsted Parks changes, Sewer Department, and more. There's a requested amendment for the building department to move $20,000.00 related to a vacant inspector position. So at this time, I'll move to amend 2024-75 and ask for a second. Mr. Limpert: Second. Council President Brossard: Motion to amend ordinance 2024-75 made by Councilman Glassburn, seconded by Councilman Lippert. Roll call, please. 08-20-24 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 6
