After some discussion, Mr. Logan stated there seemed to be a number of conflicts and would reconsider the meeting on November 14th; will wait until the end of Council Meeting to set a definite date for this meeting. Mrs. Sharpe, Chairman Building, Zoning and Development Committee reported: 1) Committee met on Wednesday, October 25th and discussed Ordinance No. 78-145 which is on second reading tonight. Committee has no ob3ection. 2) Committee also discussed Ordinance No. 78-157 which is on .first reading tonight. Committee has no ob3ection. Mr. Logan had one comment with respect to the Finance Committee report. While agree- ing with Mr. Wilamvsky on most points, did think that `if Ordinance No. 78-134, the YDP, were put to a vote of the people, it would pass overtahelmingly. Mr. Beaty stated that in Mrs. Sharpe's report it was noted that committee had no ® ob3ection to Ordinance No. 78-145 which is a "Referral to the Architectural Review Board" - what it boils down to is signs.- and he did object to it. The committee as a whole did approve it but as a Minority Report feels we are getting over-restrictive in some of the things Council acts on. Sign ordinances are very restrictive as it is and feels the Architectural Review Board, although it is strictly a recommendation board, is gutting some of its own ideas as to what they like or dislike and forcing it on sotae of the businesses which are going in. Thinks we are becoming too restrict- ive, so as a Minority Report, is opposed to Ordinance No. 78-145.

Petroski regarding the leaf pickup program, copies of which were distributed to all Members of Council. 2) letter from the Department of Hunan Resources and its Advisory Board thanking Council for recogniaing the ach~.evements of Art Boessneck, Sr. Copies of this letter will be forwarded to all Members of Council. 3) letter from the North Olmsted Council of Patent-Teachers Association in support of the Youth Diversion Program. 4) reported receipt of a letter from the League of Women Voters of Westlake-North Olmsted also in support of the Youth Diversion Program. 5) reported receipt of a letter from Robert E.
