Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, June 15, 2015 <br />Page 3 <br />Ms. Wolgasnuth replied, there's 3 streets, 76 homes. We spoke with 55 of the 76. <br />In relation to that, is there ai1y option of residents on one street wanting to widen, and other streets do <br />not, would they widen one street and not the other? <br />Ms. Wolgainuth replied, I spoke to the Engineer about that. It was not recormnended we do one street <br />differently than others. His thought was that they should all be treated consistently. Did you want to <br />speak to that Tom? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, that's my opinion. <br />Is there a reason behind that? <br />Mr. Cappello replied, no, for consistency sake to be all the same. That's just my opinion. There is no <br />Code that says you can't have different sizes. <br />Coming from a public safety standpoint in relation to police and fire, did they have any input in this as <br />to whether their fire trucks or police cars are able to get down the roads okay? <br />Chief Carcioppolo replied, yes. My opinion was asked. There is no Code that I could really mandate <br />any road widening because the Ohio Fire Code doesn't apply to public roadways. <br />Mr. Saponaro stated, the other thing to note is this. Council may have a discussion on it, but Council is <br />not directed to vote on anything of this nature until it comes before us to be voted on. This was merely <br />for discussion purposes from Council's perspective. Nothing came before Council in the form of do <br />you vote to have this or not have this in place? It was a discussion that was had but nothing was <br />formalized from any department that said this is what we recommend and we want to do this. The other <br />thing to note is that we have a budget which we have already put in place. This was not in the budget. <br />It would be a cost far above that budget. In terms of decision making, Council has not sat and approve <br />or not approved this. It was just discussed. It would be up to whatever department or administration <br />wants to do if they want to carry it forward with the consideration that it's not a budgeted item and then <br />coming to the residents and asking what the opinion is. I don't know if it's necessarily this will never <br />happen because it was not discussed, it's not going to happen today. For the budget in place right now, <br />I think that the consensus is that the residents have spoken. It's not anything that's being brought <br />before Council to vote on. Is that a fair assessment? Your voices are recommended. It is good that you <br />come and talk to us about these things. <br />Ms. Lynch asked, I understand Seneca is widened? <br />Mayor Rinker replied, no. <br />Ms. Lynch asked, you said there's just 3 streets involved. There's actually 4 streets. <br />Mayor Rinker replied, no, there are 3. Glenview, Bonnieview and Beech Hill. Seneca was done. We <br />are not redoing it.
