Mason on receiving the In Tribute <br />to Public Service Award from Cleveland State University's Maxine Goodman Levin College of <br />Urban Affairs. <br />Administration of Oaths of Office <br />o Ordinance Review Committee: Paul Fikaris <br />o Planning and Zoning: David L. Hoehnen <br />Mayor Bodnar administered the oaths of office to Paul Fikaris (Ordinance Review Committee) <br />and David Hoehnen (Planning and Zoning). <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, in our packets on Friday, we received a letter from the Regional Transit <br />Authority indicating that as a result of some major budget cuts they have had to make, they are <br />looking at eliminating and reducing some routes. One of those routes they are looking to shorten <br />is bus number 7 which currently runs east from Richmond Road and Wilson Mills down Wilson <br />Mills, down SOM and circulates around Beta Drive. They are looking to eliminate that part of <br />the route. We have a lot of people who use that route to get to work. Students also use that route <br />to get to downtown. I will be looking into that. Hopefully we can work together to prevent them <br />from closing down that end of the route. That's all I have for the evening. Thank you. <br />COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT SAPONARO <br />Standing Rules of Council <br />Council President Saponaro stated, we have started a discussion as Council regarding some Standing <br />Rules.
