They are plannuig to do restoration work on White Road in about 3 weeks. <br />They have not updated their schedule, so the bike path should be restored by the end of June. <br />Mrs. Cinco said a lot of people will be asking about the bike path restoration so he will be asked <br />every Caucus and Council meeting. It might be a good idea to inform the contractor that Council <br />will be on his back about that. <br />Second Reading of Ordinance No. 97-09, entitled; "An emergency ordinance authorizing the <br />exercise of an option to purchase the Parkview Golf Course."

This open portion is limited to discussion pertaining to the items under <br />"Old Business" only. <br />There were no comments. <br />NEVV BITSINESS <br />Assisted Living Presentation - The gentleman in the audience said they were not aware Council <br />was expecting a presentation. The Finance Director and Mayor asked them to come out this <br />evening to answer any questions Council might have pertaining to the assisted living facility that -is <br />proposing to purchase some of the golf course property. [He said he had sent out a number of <br />renderings a week ago and asked if everyone had seen them.] Primarily, this proposal is from an <br />assisted living developer from New 1Vlexico who is in the business of operating assisted living <br />facilities around the country. To date, they have somewhere in the hundred range of facilities. <br />They have targeted 12 cities around the country they want to expand. Cleveland is one of those <br />cities. Land is very difficult to come by in Cuyahoga County for facilities of this nature as well as <br />multi-family development. They have on the table an offer of $250,000 per acre for the acquisition <br />of three acres. They typically build a facility with about 89 assisted living units within it. That is <br />their standard facility that sits on about 21/z or 3 acres. I-f the city would like to see a facility that <br />has an additional green area around it they would have no problem in purchasing 4 or 5 acres at <br />that price if the city could give them some type of commitment that they could proceed on that <br />development. He asked if there were any questions.
