Council Minutes of 12/19/78 -8- LEGISLATION (Cont'd): seconded by Mrs. Sharpe. Affirmative vote: Beaty, Boehmer, Logan, Petrigac, Saringer, Sharpe, Wilamosky. Motion carried. Mr. Wilamosky moved for adoption, seconded by Mrs. Saringer. Affirmative vote: Beaty, Boeha~er, Logan, Petrigac, Saringer, Sharpe, Wilamosky. Motion carried. Ordinance No. 78-186 adopted. Under Old Business: Mr. Logan requested Safety Director Petre to help in compiling a list of objections to Section 5120.06 of the Ohio Revised Code regarding "Jail Standards".Does not object to the spirit of the new law but to a nu~er of unreasonable requests. If the city were forced to comply with this new section, as legally we are by 1981, it would cost aver $200,000 in adjustments in our jail which is a modern facility. It seems u~ajust that the State would want us to reshape our jail cells, to add recreation areas, televisions, and to have doctors and nurses, etc. Thinks we should have a list of specifics with respect to our objections on this when we vote on it at third reading rich would be a month from now. Mr. Beaty asked Mr. Logan for a copy of the actual section of the code. Mr. Logan said a copy of this section of the code would be on file in the Clerk of Council's office for Council's information. ~1r. Logan requested that the Finance Director talk to Wayne Kuhn of McDonald and Company and get an estimate~of debt service schedules with respect to the Recreation Complex based on various intervals of interest percentage rates, for instance 6-3/4Y, 7%, and 7'~ because we don't know what the interest rates are going to be at any one time and would like to be prepared with that information so we know the interest rates go up and will have a better idea of what we are going to be pay#,ng. Finance Director Brockman stated that he talked to Mr. Kuhn this week and he wes wry receptive to the idea of studying this further. Mr. Kuhn asked to come in after t~ final yearend figures are compiled and come up with some recommendations and schedules. Possibly the middle of February will meet with the entire Council and discs the entire matter.- At that time they will have a better feel on what is going to happen in the coming year as far as interest rates, etc. Under New Business: President Limpert asked Law Director Gateau what it would take for Council to in- clude the Pledge of Allegiance as is done at so many public meetings and Mr. Gateau replied that it could be done by sia~ly amending the rules by motion. Mr. Logan objected to reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Feels that as elected officials there is an implied Pledge of Allegiance not only to the Federal Government but to the State and local government. Does not think it necessary. Discussion ensued. Mrs. Saringer moved that the Pledge of Allegiance be given after the Council meeting has been called to order, seconded by Mr. Wilamosky.
