Regular Council Meeting 10-16-00 Page 3 Building - Mr. Samac said the new parking garage at Progressive is open. The Assisted Living facility is progressing and should be under cover before we have any frequent snowfall. It should be completely enclosed by mid-December and they will probably be able to open in the Spring. Fire -Chief Mohr said we provided literature to the elementary schools for Fire Prevention Week. We will conclude the hydrant maintenance program by Friday. Several hydrants are out of service and will be reported to Cleveland Water for repair. Finance - Mr. Brett said Councilman Parker had some questions from residents regarding the recent gas choice programs. He has prepared a memo to help explain some of the aspects of gas choice. (He had distributed copies to Council.) There really is no deadline; this will be like the regulation of the phone companies. Mr. Brett asked Council to review the memo and if it meets with their satisfaction (or he will edit), we will send it to residents with the information explaining the issues on the ballot. We could have someone from Ohio Consumers Counsel speak to residents at a town meeting if they would like. They could probably address the electric deregulation as well. He asked Council to tell him of any suggestions or changes so he can get this in final form. Recreation - Mr. Thomas said we have started playoffs for Adult Coed and Men's Softball leagues this week. We will finish up, weather permitting, this week. The Over 35 League should finish on Sunday, October 29. The second Battle of the Bands contest for Mayfield High School students will take place on November 10 from 7-11 p.m. Ten bands have submitted tapes. We are anticipating 600-800 students at the November 10~~ event. The Garden Club, Councilwoman Mills and the Service Department have been working very hard in beautifying Parkview Pool with plantings. The second annual Halloween Window Painting Contest for 6-8~' graders is taking place now and all the Village store windows are covered with festive designs. Judging will take place Thursday. STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS Activities Committee -Mrs. Roman said the Committee will meet the first Wednesday of November. Architectural Review Board - Mr. Samac said the Architectural Review Board met September 28 and gave preliminary approval for a new dwelling on Echo Drive.
