<br />• The Committee discussed Resolution 2026-25, which is to consider a job creation grant
<br />for the Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging, which plans to move approximately 340
<br />employees into the former Moen Building. The grant runs for 10 years with decreasing
<br />percentages of income tax rebates. Ms. Taylor described the WRAAA Service's regional
<br />impact and reasons for choosing North Olmsted. Councilman Limpert suggested a
<br />revision to be added to provide notification to the City should Western Reserve choose
<br />to vacate the space in the future, and we received confirmation from the Assistant Law
<br />Director O'Malley that the applicant approved the revision. The Resolution was
<br />favorably recommended to Council by a vote of 3-0, and the Committee concluded at
<br />7:33 p.m., and that concludes my report, Mr. President. Thank you.
