Council President Joanne Cinco presided. ? ROLL CALL: Present: Mr. Basile, Mr. Busa, Mrs. Cinco, Mr. Ferrante, Mr. Fixler, ? Mr. Flynn, and Mr. Stephens Q Absent: None z ? Also Present Were: Mayor Rinker, Mr. Brett, Mr. Cappello, Mr. Diemert, Mr. Hovancsek, Chief Mohr, Chief Stevens, and Miss Heath The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was given. Mrs. Khoury, 930 Worton Park Drive - said she is requesting that Council approve a plan to modify the barrier on Worton Park Drive. She said the modification could be made either by cutting the metal barrier or by adding an asphalt path. Mrs. Khoury said it is impossible for someone in a wheelchair to go around the barrier; they are restricted to the Worton Park area. In the past it was wheelchair accessible. She believes the intent (spirit) of ADA is to assist disabled people in participating in the community. Mayor Rinker said we will do more homework on this. He explained that this is private property; it is between two communities. Mayor Rinker said he knows this is not the first time the request has been made. He will ask Village Law Director Joseph Diemert to check this out. He does not know the answer to this directly; it may be something as simple as finding out what legal considerations there are. They will think of a careful way to come up with a proposal and will be sensitive to the issues in the neighborhood. Teanne LeI2121a, 960 Worton Park Drive, asked who owns the property where the barricade is. Mayor Rinker said he does not know. He believes at least two houses are in Mayfield Village. He knows Mayfield Heights passed an ordinance stating that they wanted nothing to affect it. He believes their fear was that it would be opened to traffic.
