Regular Council Meeting Minutes 3-16-09 . Page 3 The second item is the Ridgebury Boulevard resurfacing. The pre-construction meeting will be held on April 9th. We would then get a complete schedule on how they plan on performing the work. As of today, it is still a two-phase project. The first phase will be Richmond to Lander. If the section does go ahead in Mayfield Village, it will not begin until mid-July. We have some time yet to inform people regarding the section in the Village. The third item, Councilperson Cinco mentioned something abouf the River Road bridge. Yes, that is actually going to be bid this Wednesday. That project is about a four to six month project. There is a six-week period in which River Road will close. The project does last longer than the six week closure. It should be performed during the month of July and part of August. We will get a schedule on that down the road after the bids are accepted. LEGAL DEPARTMENT - Diane Calta Reporting on the discussions between Mayfield Village and Gates Mills regarding EMS service, Ms. Calta stated that we have what appears to be an agreement that just needs ratification by their Council and then it will be presented to Mayfield Village. They are trying to get together a special meeting. It appears it will be on the 31St of March. We will have information for Council right after that. Mayor Rinker added that what we would probably want to do is then schedule the night of Caucus a special meeting so that we can ratify pending Gates Mills. Council President Buckholtz asked, for April's Caucus? Mayor Rinker replied, correct. FIRE - Chief Mohr Chief Mohr stated he has an item on the agenda, so he has no report. FINANCE - Dave Miller Mr. Miller reported that there is one change from the appropriations ordinance that you saw at the last meeting. That is the $1,201,250.00 from the fire grant. That has been added in the Federal Grants. Mr. Miller asked Mr. Cappello, when you were talking about Ridgebury, you said if it goes ahead. Mr. Cappello replied, if it goes ahead this year. There are two phases because of the Mayfield Road project. It will go ahead either this year or 2010, but we are still responsible for our portion of the project. Mr. Miller said the expenditure is on the agenda tanight. Council President Buckholtz asked if there was anything else. Backtracking a little bit, Council President Buckholtz stated that he does not know if people have been following this story. It has been widely publicized. Council President Buckholtz is pretty shocked and amazed at the grant that Chief Mohr and some colleagues are responsible for. The Finance Director may or may not be impressed with it, but Council President Buckholtz is.
