Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, November 16, 2015 Page 5 PLANNING DEPARTMENT -Ted Esboru Mr. Esborn reported, an agenda item tonight is the authorization of an Incentive Grant Agreement with Mars Electric Company which has been reviewed by both our legal department and Mars. I am recommending approval of the Agreement based on the timing of Mars' relocation process. I think that voting on it this evening gives us the best chance to improve the likelihood of Mars' relocation to Mayfield Village. Here tonight with us are Michael Doris from Mars Electric, David Stover from Hanna Commercial Real Estate and Kevin Callahan from Premier Development Partners representing both the potential tenant and property owner. When that agenda item comes up, if you have any questions about the company or the process, these gentlemen will be able to answer them. ADMINISTRATION -Diane Wol~amutl- Ms. Wolgamuth reported, the concert Mr. Thomas mentioned is the Cleveland Institute of Music. They did a concert at The Grove last summer. They have looked at Reserve Hall and are considering doing a regular series here. This concert is their first attempt to see how that works. It will be open and free to the public. We scheduled it on the same day as the Senior Anniversary Party so we have some audience. It is set for December 11th at 2:00 p.m. We will be getting the word out on that show. If you noticed there are children in the building again this evening. That is the last group we work with. Fairmount is their theater. They do a show twice a year. They are doing Snow White this weekend. I also wanted to mention we removed the Civic Center signage from the agenda. We met with Jim McKnight today. We are working to reduce the size of the signs to make sure they are exactly what we want. Mr. Jerome stated, I drove by a sign somewhere and thought, that is huge and I thought of ours. I called Jeff Thomas about it and before I even said that I think this is going to be too big, he said, yes, we know it is, we are going to go back to the drawing board. Ms. Wolgamuth stated, it will be essentially the same design we were looking at. We are just going to reduce it. Mr. Jerome stated, it's a great looking sign, it's just too big. Thank you. STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS: Activities Committee -Mrs. Mills reported, we met on November 10`h. Our summer concerts at the Gazebo will be moving to The Grove for this season only. The ,Tree Lighting will be December 6th at 7:00 here at the Civic Center. Becky Hall from Center School will have some children singing their usual songs. The Menorah Lighting is December 7th at 7:00 in the Gazebo area. Singing Angels will be here Saturday, December 12th at 7:00 in Reserve Hall. We discussed Cruise Night charity donations. The Committee is suggesting that we give proceeds to Meals on Wheels this year instead of Make A Wish. I am sure we will have discussion in Council about this but I think it's a good project. We are going to go forward with Cruise Night. Fourth of July; Bill has been in contact with both police, fire and the fireworks company and
