Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, August 15, 2016 Page 2 DEPARTMENT HEAD REP®RTS: Diane Wolgamuth (Administration) - I would only add that the dedication ceremony is scheduled for 1:00. I hope that most of the Council .members will be able to be there so that we can take a nice photo of the ribbon cutting for use in the Voice of the Village. Thank you. John Marrelli (Building) - - Architectural Review Board - We met last week. We had two items. We had a residential garage approved and we had a sun shade structure approved, both residential. Mary Betsa (Council Clerk) -Mark Altier, Chief Legal Counsel of the State Auditor's office will be presenting on bidding and how to prepare and advertise bids. It's an excellent presentation. I attended it when I went to the Local Government Officials' Conference. His presentation is scheduled for Thursday, September 15th at the Cuyahoga County Public Library in Parana. If anyone is interested in attending, let me know. Also, reminder that due to the Labor Day Holiday, Caucus is on September 12th and Council is on September 19U'. Tom Cappello (Engineer) - As you can see, SOM Center Road is paved. They completed it last week. The 2015 Road Program which is on Glenview, Bonnieview and Beech Hill is essentially complete. They are actually putting the berm down today. They need about a day or two to finish that and then we will be doing the punch list. Ron Wynne (Finance) -This Thursday, I will be going downtown to the County Fiscal Office for the annual meeting to go over the status of our TIF Agreements and how well they have been performing and to get them renewed for another year. Chief Eugene Carcioppolo (Fire) -From the last meeting, July 18th through August 14th, our Fire Department responded to 59 emergency medical service calls, 19 fire calls, we conducted 13 annual fire safety inspections, 4 car seat installations, 5 EMS training drills and 6 fire rescue training drills. There were 23 call outs. The fire station exhaust installation was completed last week. We were trained today on the use of the system. Friday evening, we hosted the Northeast Ohio Fire Prevention Association to-film a short public service announcement on photoelectric smoke alarms. I would like to thank Mayor Bodnar, Lieutenant Girbino and Firefighter Jeff Cook for their participation. When that movie is done being edited, it will be on the Northeast Ohio Fire Prevention's website and most likely the local news stations probably will put a link to it on theirs. It will be the professional grade. There is a donation from the Director as well as the filming crew and the audio people. They will be adding early morning the cartoon smoke detector character into the video. He is animated and interacting with live people. That should be a pretty nice attribute to fire safety for everyone. The Hillcrest Fire Chiefs' Association was awarded a local government safety capital grant through the State of Ohio in the amount of $115,711 for a new air trailer to replace our old 1970 something air truck because the compressor on it is old. Lyndhurst wrote the grant on behalf of the Regional Technical Rescue Team. They are out to bid on that now. Mayfield Heights should be approving that expenditure. The cost will come out of the tech team's fund. I will be attending the International Association of Fire Chiefs' conference this week and taking Executive Chief Officer 1 which is part of the International Association of Fire Chiefs' Officer Development Program. ~~ a f
