Mr. Lynch is going to try to adjust some of the stops; txy to adjust oux schedules; see if we can get more buses; - see what they can come up with and get back to the City in the near future. They are also going to discuss whether it ~rould be feasible for us to get extra buses. Also discussed briefly the extension of the contract with RTA. Mr. Beaty consented he does not 'think RTA is completely sure how they want to handle it so as soon as they decide they are going to contact the Administration. Also discussed the possibility of getting a bus run into Chevy Blvd. sad Bxookpark Rd. which would take people to the Brookpark Rapid and feels this would be appealing to quite a few people in North Olmsted. This has bean requested before and they are going to get back to Committee on this also. They did assure officials at the meeting that they will be back in contact in the near future and at that time if we do not feel they have answered these questions satisfactoxilq, we will have a public hearing for the people who are concerned about the bus Iine with the people from RTA. Mr. Boehmer, Chairman Fublic Safety, ~alth b Welfare Committee, stated within the last week has sent a letter to the County Sngineex requesting certain streets such as Dover Center, Claque and Stearns Rd. be resurfaced the entire length within our City. Mr. Wilamosky asked Mrs. Bazinger if her committee intends to submit a formal resolution to the County Ehgine$r requesting that type of action. Mrs. Saringex stated she was not consulted on this letter and had explained to Mr. Boehmer that we had already asked legislation in regard to a number of these streets that were already mentioned fox funding a project of the Bngineer's and came out of the Engineering Dept. and this was done quite awhile ago. Mr. Wilamosky stated he thinks it is important that we do whatever we can to get what we can from Mr. Stackhouse as County Engineer because if we dart request and pursue it, he may very well decide to use these funds in other communities. Mr. Boehmer said it is his understanding that this will be studied and we will hear from the County Engineer`s Office shortly. Mr. Beaty commented he has talked with the County Engineer's office a few weeks ago: they did do a study on the txaffic an Dover Center Rd. and this will play a b1g part on whether or not they would be interested in paving. Mr. Beaty explained what the study consisted of and he was informed the study has been completed and the Transportation Committee is waiting to hear from them. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Gommittee, reported the Finance Committee reviewed Ord, No. 77-42 with the Administration. The total general fund appropriations listed in that ordinance is $3,584,060. This ordinance would also provide an amount of $254,750 of federal xevenue sharing money be set aside for operation and maintenance of the Treatment Plant to help offset the expected deficit situation.- The Committee is also concerned with the conditions of our streets. it was requested, as Mrs. Saringer reported, that the Service Dept. provi e a list of streets which have 'required repAirs for sometime. It was also requested that the cost of labor and material for each street be included. Would like to have this list so that we could look objectively at the type of repair program that we are going to have this year. Mr. Weldon advised Committee he would have such a list within the next couple of days. There is no provision within Ord. No. 77-42 for additional hiring of police and fire. Committee also discussed with the Administration streetlights and have asked Acting Safety Director, Mayor Christman,,to review the various locations requiring streetlights that were on the list Mrs. Beringer had and report back as to what the Safety lk~paxtment's recommene~ations would be to goat the streetlights - at a minimal amount to try to get aa'many streetlights spread
