President Limpert stated the Agenda has been amended to include Ord. No. 77-41. Oxdinance No. 77-41 was introduced by Mrs. Sharpe and given its first reading. An Ordinance amending Section 911.03 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted entitled "Charges Generally" and amending Section 911.05 entitled "Method of Billing, Payment", both of Chapter 911, entitled "Sanitary Sewerage System Charges"; and repealing Sections 911.0$, 911.09 and 911.10 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted and declaring an emergency. Mrs. Saringer addressed President Limpert stating inasmuch as the Agenda was just amended to include Ord. No. 77-41 that perhaps Councils might see fit for the benefit of anyone in the audience who did not have the opportunity to know this legislation was going to be on tonight - to ask if they might have any questions. President Limpert stated he does not believe this is in order - the ordinance is on first reading and the audience will have an opportunity to voice theix opinion at the next Council Meeting. Under 01d Business: Mr. West inquired of City Engineer Childs when the sidewalks were inspected by the engineering Department relative to the sidewalk repair notices that property owners Dave been receiving recently. City Engineer Childs explai~t+ed those sidewalks were inspected over a period of about one year during the time when there was no snow on the ground - there is 180 miles of sidewalks in the City - it took a long time to get around to all of them. M~. West stated he had the privilege of attending a coffee for one of our bus drivers, Mr. Frank Charvat, who was nominated as the most courteous bus driver in North Olmsted. Mr. West added those who do ride the bus knows he does a wonderful job. Mr. West commented that RTA Board Member, Mr. Lynch, was also there, and Mr. Wgst and Mr. Lynch had an opportunity to go over with the bus drivers many of the complaints that have came up. Feels everyone should know they are working on it; but with all of the groblems incurred due to the extremely cold weather and snow it was unappropriate far us to bring up in the peat two or even three months to RTA any of the complaints because they were so snowed under all they would do is to take them under advisement and really not get anywhere. It was Mr. Lynch's suggestion, and this is being followed through as Mr. Beaty reported, that we nc~w call a meeting and Mr. Lynch specifically said he wanted it to be out in North Olmsted. This is where it will be and there will be a number of things to bring up. President Limpert stated congratulations are in order to Mr. Charvat from all Members of Council for his dedication. Mrs. Saringer asked Council to reconsider Ordinance No. 77-10 far the following reasons: this ordinance was defeated at last Council Meeting; there is a referendum on the legislation that was passed at last Council Meeting and there is no doubt in her mind that there will be a referendum on Ord. No. 77-4i. Mrs. Saringer stated she is not in a position to ask for a reconsideration but thought perhaps one of the four Council Members who voted against it originally might see some light as to what is ahead. Thinks it would be wise to reconsider Ord. No. 77-10 and let Ord. No. 77-41 go into Committee because Council can be assiareci there are problee~s ahead; also, feels the four who voted against Ord. No. 77-10 are doing a terrible injustice to the City.
