Mr. Anderson expressed openness to additional conversation but not at the expense of not <br />having arrest authority at the Cleveland Clinic emergency room. He suggested extending the <br />lease for a more limited period of time to allow for the additional conversation. <br />Director Butler clarified that deferring the matter for another few weeks would likely not <br />pose problems for the MOU. <br />Mr. Bullock suggested that members with additional questions speak directly with Chief <br />Malley, the Mayor or Law Director. He requested that the administration extend the <br />agreement with Cleveland Clinic until Council takes action. <br />Mayor Summers mentioned the Clinic's multiple facilities and discussed its expected patient <br />volumes, pointing out how busy it is and how much busier it is expected to be with the <br />opening of the new Family Health Center. <br />Mr. Rader stated that his mind is not made up on the Resolution and asked if the Cleveland <br />Clinic Police Department is unionized.

He made a case for passage tonight, <br />pointing out that the City has the power to unilaterally end the agreement in the future. <br />Director Butler clarified that the Resolution will remain on the floor unless a separate motion <br />is made to refer it back to Committee. <br />On the motion to defer: <br />Yeas: George, Litten, O'Leary, O'Malley, Rader <br />Nays: Anderson <br />Abstain: Bullock <br />Motion adopted. Resolution 8970 -17 deferred. <br />20. Public Works Committee Report regarding Resolution 8986 -18. (To Be Provided) <br />Chair; Rader. <br />Today we had a committee meeting. All were present. We discussed one resolution — the <br />NOPEC grant that came before us. Our City has the opportunity to accept a $216,000 grant <br />from NOPEC. This resolution gives the City and the Mayor authority to go ahead and put in <br />for that grant. There will be a separate hearing to decide at a later point this year what to do <br />with that money. It must be used to further our renewable energy infrastructure. A lot of great <br />ideas came out of that meeting including rechargeable car stations. The Mayor also brought <br />
