Jay had looked into the traffic signalization project and had expressed some concern which he wanted to discuss with Council. Mr. Hovancselc said that Lt. Jay wanted to awazd the bid to the present service company - Traffic Control Products who bid $9,500 more than the low bidder. Mr. Hovancsek said it is his recommendation that Council go ahead with the bid they have regazding Resolurion 91-70. Mr.Hovancsek said that 4 out of 5 bidders bid the type of closed-loop signal system that Pathmaster (the low bidder) bid. He said that Traffic Control Products bid on a 170 system which is another type of system. Mr. Hovancsek said he had spoken to Lt. 7ay who felt the Village should consider accepting the bid from Traffic Control Products because they are currendy doing the maintenance on the signals. Mayor Carmen said that I,t. Jay had submitted some materials to him expressing some concerns. Mayor Cannen said that he had not had a change to review them yet so he would be ill at ease to make a decision before the materials are reviewed. Mayor Carmen said that unless this is a matter is serious urgency that he would like to give Lt. Jay an opportunity to express his concerns to Council. Mr. Hovancsek said the matter should be considered soon. 1VIr. Rinker said that Council has a Public Hearing scheduled next week. We will make sure Lieutenant Jay is here so it can be handled at that time. Mr. Hovancsek explained that we currently do not have a system between the traffic signals. He said that you could have to stop at each signal as you go down Wilson Mills Road. He explained that the project will create a pattern. The bid includes Highland Heights and Mayfield Village: 54% of the signalization is in Mayfield Village; 46% in Highland Heights. Mr. Hovancsek said the contracting party is Mayfield Village so Mayf'ield Village is bidding for Mayfield Village and Highland Heights. The project goes from Lander Road to Beta Drive on Wilson Mills Road. Mr. Hovancsek said the County Engineer's Office will pay the cost of construction. The amount of engineering fees to be paid by Mayfield Village will be approximately $5,400. Cliff Connelly, in the audience, from Pathmaster, said that he would be more than happy to send brochures explaining the strategic points within the system. He explaineri that the system would be rnonitored by Highland Heights and possibly Mayfield Village police departments. If there were any failures, the appropriate dispatcher could respond. Mr. Rinker suggested that Mr. Connelly contact Lt. Jay and said we will ask Lt. Jay to be present at the Council Caucus. Mr. Basile, seconded by Mrs. Mills, made a morion to suspend the rules of Council requiring an ordinance to be read on three separate occasions.
