~. . Council Minutes of 11-3-76 -b- Mr. Boehmer asked Mr. Wilanosky if he has set any meetings with the Firp Department on wage talks. Mr. Wilamosky said he has not but he did receive a ctmmunication from the Mayor last month as to a meeting. Mayor Christman stated they met with them at that time - have taken their requests for the pear 1977 and basically it is about what the Police Dept. received in their two year contract. Committee will have to sit down again to make a counter offer, etc. Under New Business: Mrs. Sharpe stated she has received correspondence from Mayor Christman regarding the elimination of one position on the Architectural Review Board - that being an elector of the City of North Olmsted. Also according to the minutes of the last Planning Commission meeting on October 26th, they seemued to go along with Mayor Christman's elimination of one position also. Mrs. Sharpe said she is very surprised that the Planning Commission made no recommendation on a three member board prior to Ord. No. 7b-144 being referred back to the Plannning Commission some weeks ago. When the Planar Commission originally reviewed the Zoning Code they were in favor of the Architectural Review Board and if they read it thoroughly they should have known that it was to be coyeprised of four members; and they should have taken action then if they were in disagreement on the number of members Lo be appointed to that board. Yesterday, the citizens of North Olmsted gave a mandate on an issue and she feels that to take away the position of a private citizen on that board would be an insult to the voters. The few extra dollars it might possibly cost, in Mrs. Sharpe's view, would be well worth having an elector of the City on that board. Mrs. Sharpe stated she is going to recommend to her Committee that there be established on the Architectural Review Board the four meters as originally was recommuended. Also, feels we should keep the requirements for an architect bxoad enough to insure that we can get someone to fill the position; by limiting that position to a registered architect only, we lessen our chances of finding a suitable person to fill that position. Mr. West asked for legislation authorizing the Service Director to advertise for bids for two vehicles for the Sewerage System. Mr. Beaty discussed political signs in right of ways, on poles, etc., commented on our ordinance with xeapect to same; discussed the cost to the City for removal of these signs; and requested the Legislation Committee to take under consideration and review stricter regulations and gave examples. Mr. West moved to excuse absence of Mr. Goggin, seconded by Mr. Boehmer. Mr. Wilamosky stated he did have other items to discuss before we move into excuse for absence. President Lampert stated excuse for absence will be taken and then return to Mr. Wilamosky. Roll Call on Motion: Affirmative vote: Beaty, Boehmer, Beringer, Sharpe, West, Wilamosky. Motion carried.
