commission can adapt to the times. Mr. Dubowski agreed with learning about implementing <br />technology more since more people have been using it due to the shutdown, Ms. Schuler agreed. <br />Mr. Morse moved, seconded by Mr. Dubowski, to change the training topic to utilizing <br />technology to engage the public, motion passed 6-0. <br />Celebrate North Olmsted - Local History Series <br />Ms. Lieber shared links to eight articles written by Jim Dubelko. Mr. Dubelko is a former North <br />Olmsted resident, commission member and avid history researcher who has been writing articles <br />for the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History. She thought there could be a way to share this <br />information with the public. The Commission previously had success with the Facebook "This <br />Day in History" series during the Bicentennial. She asked a couple members to help create a <br />schedule and curate information to be shared in a similar way. Mr. Neville thought it would fit in <br />with the technology training topic. Ms. Lieber said the communications manager can help draft <br />language and post it to social media. Mr. Morse was unsure about the relevance of the <br />information to the residents. Mr. Schumann said there was a lot of public interest when he shared <br />some photographs of old businesses in North Olmsted a few months ago and he would like to go <br />through the articles. Mr. Neville thought the information could be compared to modern times <br />even if there is not a direct correlation. Mr. Schumann thought it would be interesting to see if <br />there is any information regarding North Olmsted's response to the Spanish Flu. Mr. Dubowski <br />suggested including some of the information in the Mayor's newsletter. Ms. Lieber thought the <br />information could be branded in a way that would apply to today and have a central theme, such <br />as "now and then," notable women or other monthly themes. Ms. Schuler agreed about <br />highlighting parallel events in history, such as when the old high school burned down and the <br />students were educated at the IX Center. Ms. Schuler, Mr. Schumann and Mr. Neville were <br />interested in being on a subcommittee. Ms. Lieber will reach out to help coordinate the <br />committee's efforts. Mr. Schumann suggested the committee send any other social media <br />suggestions to Ms. Lieber and himself. <br />Butternut Ridge Pocket Park <br />Ms. Lieber said the Cuyahoga County Department of Development awarded the city $50,000 to <br />construct the pocket park and staff was notified at the end of March. At that time, there were <br />some concerns regarding the budget from City Council due to the uncertainty of the time. Staff <br />and the committee decreased the city's contribution as much as possible and there have been <br />some generous donations from the community to help offset the costs. The public art proposals <br />were reviewed and two finalists were chosen to create concept designs. Ms. Lieber thanked Mr. <br />Schumann for all of his help with the committee and soliciting the donations. Mr. Schumann <br />received a lot of great response when reaching out for donations. He added that City Council was <br />concerned about the initial match being $30,000 and Ms. Lieber was able to get it down <br />significantly. Mr. Schumann thought it will be neat to have the first piece of public art on North <br />Olmsted installed on Butternut Ridge Road. A couple parts of the initial park concept were cut <br />from the design to reduce costs, which can be installed at a later time. <br />Certificates of Appropriateness <br />Solar panels in the rear yard of the Seltzer House were approved and a roof replacement at 25746 <br />Butternut Ridge Road were approved as minor changes. Another application was submitted for <br />
