Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, July 16, 2012 Page 6 Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any other questions or comments. I would just like to comment that it was an impressive slideshow. I am familiar with most of the areas. I didn't know you worked on all those. Very nice. Thank you. COMIVIENTS FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKHOLTZ There were no comments. DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS: SERVICE - Douglas Metzune Mr. Metzung reported, with regard to the roadway improvement on Wilson Mills, thank you Council for your straw vote in getting that accomplished in a very short period of time. It was something we have been working on. The State of Ohio and contractor on Mayfield Road and Gates Mills had come to us needing to detour traffic to Wilson Mills Road. My concerns with the roadway as it stood were we were not so inclined to allow them. The contractor stepped up and said he would make the needed repairs to the roadway. He said he was going to patch the areas and then he suggested for a few more dollars we could repave that whole little section. With the blessing of Council and Gates Mills, we got that accomplished. It came out very nice. They.did it in one day. It is my understanding the traffic is backed up there, but at least they are backed up on a nice road. Thank you to Council for that. Secondly, we opened bids for the trailer sale. No one bid the project. I immediately contacted the demolition contractor we have for the Village Hall site. They sent a change order to demo that trailer at $5,000. I was then subsequently called by someone willing to take the trailer away. I received a proposal to have the trailer removed. It is going to cost us $2,000 to give the trailer away, but that's still a$3,000 savings over the initial demo cost. I thought I had two bidders, but only one of them showed up with a proposal. It's still a savings and we will move on with that project. That's all I have to report this evening. Council President Buckholtz thanked Mr. Metzung. Any questions? There were none. BUILDING - John Marrelli Mr. Marrelli updated on the Library. The foundation is now complete. The concrete floor has been poured. The building is coming up out of the ground. You should be able to see changes as you drive by shortly. The High School project is going strong because the kids are not in the way. They are going crazy there if you haven't noticed all the dust and dirt in the air. ENGINEERING - Tom Capnello Mr. Cappello reported, the 2012 Road Program began today.
