Safety Director Carnahan said he has answered that to the Chairman of the Legislation Committee 1n this respect: that we have requested from these people to supply us with traffic signals and this has amounted to around $70,000. and Mr. Carnahan thinks it behooves us to go back and reconsider this into Committee.

No. 77-5 under suspension of rules this evening and explained reasons therefor. This ordinance deals with no smoking in Council Cha~ebers. 7) Will request suspension of rules on Res. No. 77-9 which resolution deals with requesting the United States Postal Service for door-to-door delivery in new subdivisions. Mr. Wilamwsky, Chairman Finance Committee, reported Committee discussed with Mr. Weldon and other members of Administration the request of Mr. Weldon for equipment purchases to be used by the Service Dept. and it is the recommendation of this Committee that legislation be drafted authorizing the advertising of bids for one front end loader, two one a~ul one-half ox two ton trucks with plows; one vehicle for the Dog Warden; one paint machine; four pick-up trucks; four packer trucks; one compressor; two salt trucks and two wood chippers. Will request legislation for same under New Business; 2) Committee discussed comstunication from Mr. Gazy Goldsberry of Olmsted Township, who has requested an ad~ustnent in his sewer charge. His request would entail a moral claim in the sum of $92.10. Due to the circumstances described in letter from Mr. Goldsberry the Committee's reco~nendation is that no action be taken as it is not felt that a moral claim is involved. Committee requests Clerk of Council to advise Mr. Goldsberry in writing of Committee's findings; 3) Committee recommends the salaries of elected officials be updated for the term beginning 1-1-78 and legislation will be requested; 4) Committee discussed request by Mayor to set compensation for the Architectural Review Board on a per meeting basis and it is Committee's recommendation that the amount of $15. per meeting be established. It is unusual that review boards and commissions are paid but under the existing ordinance that was adopted it does require some kind of compensation, and legislation for same will be requested; 5) Committee discussed Ord. No. 77-3 on Agenda tonight and will request suspension of rule on Ord. No. 77-3 tonight. This deals with a Charter Amendment which will provide the people of North Olmsted an opportunity to cast their vote on an alternate to the existing sewer charge. Feels it is important that we suspend the rule on Ord. No. 77-3 and the ozdinance contains an emergency clause which means it will become effective imediately.
