Mayor Christman reported: 1) as of December 15th because of the financial problems that the City of New Yark found themselves in, the "Tower t" to the Securities & Exchange Go~aission Rules and Regulations require the disclosure of a great deal more financial information prior to sale of bonds or sale of notes by municipalities. This detailed financial analysis for the City of North Olmsted is just about completed, and will be necessary for renewing any of the notes that we do have coming up this year. Also, the ordinance which levies the sewer charge for the sanitary sewers as of the end of January 1976 will increase by SOC, and am recommending that Council do nothing at t't~is time to forestall that increase effective February 1, 197b, until we do have the complete analysis of the financial condition of the City; 2) attended meeting last Thursday at Fairview Park City Hall for the City Development Block Grant Program.
