<br />The Service Director reported he had received a communication from Mr.
<br />LeRoy H. Harris offering a triangular lot to the south of LeBern Drive
<br />which fronts on Claque Road and ends at the first house on the south side
<br />of LeBern Drive, as a playground area for the residents of LeBern Drive.
<br />He would like to deed this lot to the City far playgound purposes and
<br />also as an access to the ditch wYiich lies adjacent. The matter was
<br />referred to the Municipal Properties Committee for consideration.
<br />The Director inquired relative to the property on Whitethorne, and the
<br />Solicitor stated he had received the deed for the Schier property today.
<br />Resolution No. 2859 was introduced by Mr. Framer. A resolution authorizing
<br />the Service Director to advertise for bids for a one-ton dump truck for the
<br />Service Department and declaring an emergency. It was moved by hr. Kramer,
<br />seconded by Mrs. Lynch, that the statutory rule be suspended and the
<br />resolution be read immediately the second and third times and put on its
<br />passage. The affirmative vote on said motion was as follows: Hinkel,
<br />Hixson, Kramer, Lynch, O'Neill, Wilson. Thereupon the resolution was
<br />read the second and third times and put upon its passage and the affirmative
<br />vote thereon was as follows: Hinkel, Hixson, Kramer, Lynch, O'Neill, Wilson.
<br />The Director reported demonstrations with tYie fog spray for the mosquito
<br />control program are being continued and the residents are voicing approval;
<br />however, the Jaycees thought they would make a project of it, but has not
<br />heard further.
<br />The ~;ngineer reported two bonds were submitted by Olmsted Colony. The
<br />amounts are adequate for the paving, grading, draining, curbing, and
<br />sidewalks for Subdivision ~'2, Asplin and Cypress Drives. All improvements
<br />will be in before requesting building permits and trenches backfilled
<br />prior to paving; however, they request permission to wait until the end
<br />of Summer, and these bonds are submitted to assure the City paving will
<br />be in before the end of the construction season, and are also submitting
<br />the bonds for approval of Council.
<br />In regards to the paving of Maplehurst, Oakdale, and Westlawn, with an
<br />8" base and 2" surface course, the Engineer stated there were two questions;
<br />one is whether or not Mrs. Merker, McKenzie Park Corporation, can use the
<br />$2U,000.UU cash bond posted with the City for the construction of paving,
<br />and also whether the inspection moneys, roughly X600.00 can be drawn from
<br />this bond. They will produce evidence of their financial situation.
<br />The paving plans, formerly approved three years ago, had been redesigned
<br />to conform to Olmsted Colony, and there is no difference in context as
<br />approved previously; but, one correction, that being the width of sidewalk
<br />to five feet instead of four feet. The estimate at that time was X9,000.00
<br />for paving, and $11,000.00 for sidewalks, which is now approximately
<br />~3,000.UO more, plus additional engineering. It was recommended additional
<br />moneys be posted to protect the City, to get a reestimate on the whole cost
<br />in detail and that our Engineer check and approve it. With sufficient
<br />moneys on deposit, a portion could be rele aced within thirty days after
<br />t}ie Engineers approval of the improvements, which would be done immediately
<br />after paving. They had been given a completicn date for tYie paving of
<br />Maplehurst, July 31st. It was moved by iv1r. t~Jilson, seconded by rir.
<br />O'Neill, the matter be referred to the Streets, Sidewalks, Sewers and
<br />Ditch Committee, and in the meantime new estimates are to be submitted.
<br />"Yeas" Hinkel, Kramer, Lynch, O'Neill, ,~~ailson. "Nay" Hixson.
<br />A communication was read from the State of Ohio, Department of Highways,
<br />relative to State Route Ide. 252, Ordinance No. 284y, that the Director
<br />is in accord with legislation passed by the City cooperating in the
<br />costs, etc., submitted in connection with the paving of Columbia '3o ad,
<br />and has entered said legislation on his journal as approved.
<br />Ordinance No. 2860 was introduced by A"r. riramer. An ordinance fixing
<br />compensation for the :9ecretary to the Recreation Commission, and declaring
<br />an emergency. It was moved by l~Ir. Kramer, seconded by Mr. Hixson, that
<br />the statutory rule be suspended and the ordinance be read immediately the
<br />second and third times and put on its passage. The affirmative vote on
<br />said motion was as follows: Hinkel, Hixson, Kramer, Lynch, O'Neill, 'rdilson.
<br />Thereupon the ordinance was read the second and third tunes and put on its
<br />passage and the affirmative vote thereon was as follows: Kinkel, Hixson,
<br />Kramer, Lynch, O'Neill, tlilson.
