<br />and Patrolman Waldron, it was moved by Mrs. Hinkel, seconded by Mrs. Lynch,
<br />these men be commended for their deed. "Yeas" Hinkel, Hixson, Kramer, Lynch,

<br />Mr. Nahigyan, of Eleanor Drive, suggested something more tangible to reward
<br />our Firemen and Policemen for outstanding performances, other than a resolution.
<br />The suggestion is to be considered by the Safety Committee.
<br />Mrs. Hinkel, Chairman of the Safety Committee, is to report back to Council
<br />on the rewriting of the Rules and Regulations for the Fire Department, the
<br />installation of a teletype, Mutual Aid, and awards to the Police and Fire
<br />Departments for meritorious service.
<br />The Engineer presented a revised sewer plan and an easement for an existing
<br />sewer outlet serving Twin Circle subdivision. The revised plan would eliminate
<br />a duplication of sewers. In return for the easement rights for the Twin
<br />Circle outlet sewer, the City will permit that same outlet to be used by the
<br />developer for home=,abutting the cul-de-sae in Ambour Drive Subdivision No. 5.
<br />The Solicitor gave approval to the easement for the extension of Ambour Drive
<br />Subdivision No. 5.
<br />A communication was read from Chestnut P.T.A., requesting a pony ride con-
<br />cession booth at the Home Coming. It was moved by Mr. Hixson, seconded by
<br />Mrs. Lynch, that it be referred to the Properties Committee. "Yeas" Hinkel,
<br />Hixson, Kramer, Lynch, MacDonald, Wilson.
<br />Mr. Wilson reported the Finance Committee met Wednesday, January 28th,

<br />The Finance Committee also recommended salary increases, effective March 1,
<br />1959, as follows: Theresa Frobieter and Joe Novotny be increased 5.2J per
<br />year and Eleanor Powell, Eleanor Rulle and John Douglas be increased 10¢ per
<br />hour.
<br />The Finance Committee also recommended extra work in the Fire Department be
<br />increased from $$1.00 to 51.50 per hour. Consideration was given to additional
<br />firemen and policemen, possibly by June of 195q, in anticipation of larger
<br />revenue from taxes. A meeting is scheduled Saturday, February 7th, to
<br />negotiate wage increases for the Police and Fire Departments.
<br />Mrs. Lynch reported a meeting was held in regard to the Youth Week program,
<br />and a report will be made available on activities of the Boy Scouts, Girl
<br />Scouts and the Junior Achievement program, or any other Youth organization.
<br />The Service Director reported relative to the lighting on Lorain at Brookpark
<br />Road, that double lights are going to be put up in that area. It was proposed
<br />if the City would install the needed lights, the Great Northern Shopping
<br />Center would pay all of the costs of these lights for a period of one year,
<br />and after that the City would have to take care of it from the tax duplicate.
<br />The Service Director is to meet with Mr. Ross of the Illuminating Company on
<br />February 4th, with the recommendation to install the new type lights for
<br />better illumination.
<br />Mrs. Lynch reported the children on Wellesley Avenue had to walk in the street,
<br />which is only about 12 ft. wide, and had received a request from residents
<br />in that area for more lights on the street. Two lights were ordered for
<br />Wellesley in November, 1958. She was also asked if a sidewalk could be in-
<br />stalled on one side only. It was agreed that a sidewalk could be placed on
<br />one side only, and the Engineer stated the road was a 40 ft. road and
<br />recommended property owners donate five feet on either side to widen the
<br />road to fifty feet.
<br />Mr. MacDonald, Chairman of the Street, Sewers and Ditches Committee,
<br />reported the Sewer Committee met on January 27th with Messrs. Biskind, Shur, Wilson;
<br />Kuhn, Hixson and himself and plans have been completed for Zone 1, which is
<br />Correction per mtg. of 2~17~5y - of the hiring; of police and firemen. It is
<br />recommended by the Finance Committee that the purchase of new police cars be
<br />considered before the end of a 12 month ioeriod.
