Actually the appointment was far a six year term and the Mayor requested the correction be reflected in the minutes. The Mayor proclaimed the week of January 18th to January 25th as Jaycee Week and the week of February 7th to February 13th as Boy Scout Week. In con- nection with the latter proclamation, the Mayor advised that he will contact the Boy Scout representative and advise him that we will be unable to cooperate with the entire program; inasmuch as the traditional celebration in North Olmsted is carried on at a later date. The Mayor advised Council that the report covering proposals for the year of 1959 will be held in abeyance until next Council Meeting, as it would be difficult to submit the report, in its entirety, without first considering the financial picture for the year 1958. He stated that further appointments will be discussed at the next meeting. It was moved by Mr. O'Neill, and seconded by Mr. Wilson, that the Mayor's appointments be approved.
