Minutes of the Council Meeting <br />September 24, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br />COMIVIENTS FROM MAYOR RINI<ER <br />Mayor Rinker stated that everyone should have gotten a little bit of a taste of the situation with the <br />new police facility. This will be addressed momentarily. Mr. Cappello will report on the update on <br />the work on Metro. The underpass under Highland is in real good shape. It is starting to come <br />together there. The pathwork should be in soon on that. We are getting some overtures on <br />Progressive with Campus III. We expect to see some activity there probably in the next few weeks. If <br />you have not taken a look yet, defuutely take a look at the auditorium. It is looking fantastic. Seats <br />will be coming in this week.

Leaf season will begin in approximately one month, around the third <br />week in October. <br />SUILDING - John Marrelli <br />Mr. Marrelli had no report this evening, other than what was discussed two weeks ago. The <br />hotel has started on 700 Beta. The theater is on its homestretch. The outside of the building is <br />coming along nicely. <br />ENGINEERING - Tom Capnello <br />Mr. Cappello reported that the restoration of Metro Park and Zorn is complete. They went <br />through and addressed the one or two minor final punchlist items. Otherwise, it is substantially <br />completed. Restoration of Highland Road began last week. They are moving along fairly well. <br />They should be complete in another week or so. The underpass is 95% done. They just need to
