Their initial reaction to the plan is that the cost of its implementation exceeds the benefits that would be derived. 6) At the recent CIC Meeting, Chairman Swietyniowski read a letter with respect to the reasons why Fogg/North Olmsted bonds had not been sold as expected when the building has been in service for over a year; market conditions have made a bond sale less than feasible. 7) Has written a letter to congressmen and senators regarding Postal Regulation No. 623, asking to include city municipalities under this section - Qualified, Non-Profit Organizations. Right now, cities must pay 10.1 cents; non-prof it organizations get a 7.1 cent rate. Congressman Feighan has responded to the effect that he will look into this to see if legislation can be adopted to include cities.
