Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, October 19, 2015 Page 4 BUILDING -John Marrelli Mr. Marrelli stated, I will reserve comments until the agenda items. ENGINEERING -Tom Cappello There was no report. LEGAL DEPARTMENT - Mr. Diemert There was no report. FIRE -Chief Eugene Carcioppolo Chief Carcioppolo gave an update on the govdeals.com sales. We sold the 1989 ambulance for $1226.26. That was towed away the other day. The four-way stoplight sold for $520. They are coming to get that eventually. The civil defense siren sold for $260 and the old manlift that has not been certified or checked in a long tune sold for $610. Lieutenant Palumbo, who was recently promoted, was the officer in charge at the gas leak. He was first on scene. We were on an ambulance call. I responded and helped him once I got there. Highland Heights came and assisted us. Everything went very well. Everyone did a good job. I was very proud of him. He did a very good job. Council President Marrie asked, was it the contractor who tore up one of the lines or something? Chief Carcioppolo reported, Cleveland Water had subcontracted with a company called Utilicon to install a fire hydrant. They did have it marked but the marking was off by about 5 feet. They pierced the 4-inch pressure line which they estimated to be about 90 psi. They ran into some issues with shutting it down which is why it took between 4-5 hours to actually stop the leak so they could repair it. FINANCE -Ron Wynne There was no report. POLICE -Chief Richard Edelman Chief Edelman reiterated what the Fire Chief and John mentioned earlier about the response of the emergency services on Saturday. I am extremely proud of my officers and the Fire Department personnel. We all came together to make this as little if any inconvenience as possible for the residents. It worked out the way it should. Unfortunately, we were at the mercy of Dominion and it took them a little longer than we would have liked for them to shut off the gas, but they got the job done and no one was hurt and we are thankful for that.
