We, got over 60 trees fertilized. We also did about 40-50 tree trimmings that we were able to do because of the good weather which is a little unusual for us to do in February. Comnuttee Reports• Citizens Advisory Committee - Mrs. Mills - We had a presentation by Chad Salahshour regarding the 911 Cellular. A mailing was sent to all Village residents about this. Chief Edelman was also present at the meeting. I asked him to give an overview of the workings of SPAN. The Committee was very interested in that. Our next meeting is this coming Monday the 27t'. Foster Brown, Naturalist from the North Chagrin Nature Center, will be presenting on the history of the Cleveland Metroparks, its Centennial Year celebration and current/upcoming projects. He is an interesting gentleman. He plays the fiddle too. Finance Committee - Mr. Saponaro - We met on March 6th for Caucus as well as this evening. We had 24 items on the agenda. Four of them have been deferred. The rest of them were approved and will be discussed during the Old Business and New Business this evening. Safety and Service - Mrs. Mills - Mr. Jerome brought up about raising the legal age for the purchase of tobacco to 21 years old. He suggested putting that into Citizen's Advisory, but I kind of think it should go to Ordinance Review or to our Legal Deparhnent before we pursue this. I checked with Heinen's. Heinen's does not sell cigarette. The only place we have selling tobacco products here is the True North station. So, should we send this to Diemert's office before it goes to Citizen's Advisory? Mr. Jerome replied, they already reviewed it. They said we are able to put it in an Ordinance if we like. Council President Saponaro stated, it's really at our discretion.
