Regular Council Minutes 11-18-02 Page 20 as possible through negotiations and without the need to file an appropriation petition with the Court. But once again, O.D.O.T. requires that by the end of the year we can demonstrate to O.D.O.T. that we have either acquired or have the mechanism in place to acquire all the necessary right-of--ways that are required so that this project can proceed on time and there has been enough delays in the project that if we certainly if we miss this funding year, we would probably be set back like the better part of a full year. So what we're passing tonight, or what we're looking to pass is simply a Resolution of Necessity for the intention to appropriate and it is not necessarily an indication that we will need to file that appropriation if all properties are signed prior to, or within a reasonable amount of time which is not the law but we deemed 30 days has been the standard that people are allowed. And many people have gone over that 30 days. If I've left anything out, any other comments or discussion? There were no comments. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Resolution Adopted OPEN PORTION - 3-minute limit imposed by Chair. Those who wish to speak must first state their name and address. This open portion is limited to discussion pertaining to the items under "New Business" only. Mr. Thomas said we deal with recreation activities for kids that are active in recreational activities and we felt there was need to offer activities for kids that don't get highly active in sports programs. We are offering a Chess Program now for kids and we have about 23 kids that are involved in the Chess Program. So this is a program that we wanted to try with students that maybe interested in computers, technology activities, creative art-type programs and that's where we came about with this program. Marge Eisenberg, 6783 Seneca Road, said Mr. Thomas, I would like to ask you what is the purpose and the program of the p Pi Society? Mrs. Eisenberg asked, and that is the purpose of the program? Mr. Thomas said to involve kids that may not get involved with other programs and stuff like that, in regards to the sports programs. Mrs. Eisenberg said I'm sorry; I feel that is a flagrant waste of money. The school system has plenty of money. They passed a 6.91evy and wait until your get your tax bill in January. Council President Buckholtz said thank you for your comments. We appreciate all people attending the meetings and letting their feelings be heard. Anyone else? There were no comments.
