Council Minutes of 10-17-78 -2- ,~` salt for several reasons - the cost, the da~tage to the streets themselves, and the rising concern with salt in the environmental cycle. The snow plows are all a year older - they had very hard duty last Winter. Service Department is working to get the trucks roadready for snow plows. Have on order two 10-foot plows and two 8-foot plows with anticipated delivery in December. Still have the problem of vehicles for the cul-de-sacs. Have the problem of equipment ability to stockpile the snow. Just don't have the equipment to load trucks or to repile the snow in other locations or with a greater reach away from the tool right of way, so this is an on-going problem. Again, is talking about basic budgetary restrictions. Safety Director Petra reported: 1) yesterday at bid opening received four bids on the North Olmsted 1~ec Complex roof and after further analysis of the bids should be in position to award this contract by this weekend. 2) Mayor, Police Chief, and Mr. Petra met with the Lorain County Commissioners with regard to possibly using Lorain County Correctional Institution on a frequent basis, providing they ~ have room, to take in any of our prisoners. The advantage of this over the use of the Cuyahoga County facility in ~iarrensvi.lle is two things - No. 1 cost per day and No. 2 a distance factor which is a savings in vehicle expense as well as the time factor as far as police officers are concerned, At same time in the near future, Council will be appraised of all the details an the contract, if we are able to establish that with the Commissioners of Lorain County. Mr. Logan asked Mr. Petra when the roof of the Rec Complex is to be repaired. Mr. Petra replied that with the materials that are expected to be used in the roof - would estimate four weeks; five weeks at the most. Mr. Wilamosky asked if at this point, Mr. Petra is meeting with Lorain County officials and developing a contract with them tt~st will allow the housing of our prisoners in Lorain County. Mr. Petra replied that after considexable discussion with the Mayor and the Police Chief, feels that w~ would like to pursue this and would like to enter into a contract - not one wh_°..::h would prevent us from wing the Cuyahoga County facility because there may come a time when Lorain Comity facility is filled. Still must leave that option open to us so there wouldn't be spy con- flict. Hopefully, within the next week or ten days, will have a contract to present to Council for review. Mayor Swietyniowaki commented that he does have a contract on his desk. Basically it is an alternative. It gives a choice of where our prisoners will be sent. With this contract, are not going to be under arty obliga- tion to send prisoners to either facility - can take our choice. This wsy will always have a.: opening at either place. It will be ready for Council's review at the next meeting. Mrs. Petrigac, Chairman Environmental Control Committee reported: 1) coamtittee met on October 4, 1978 and discussed Ordinance No. 78-126, Ordinance No. 78-1~~ d Ordinance No. 78-132. Committee had no objection to Ordinance No. 78-126 s will move for adoption tonight. In caucus, was asked to put Ordinance No. 7$-132 on hold rnttil next meeting. Coamlittee felt that Ordinance No. 78-129 needed further dis- cussion. 2) at next Council meeting will be requesting legislation to havbe City Hall designated a Landmark - this being the oldest municipal building in North Olmsted. Mr. Beaty, Chairman of Intro-governaental Relations and Legislation Committee did not have a report but conmsnted that in his absence on Air Force Reserve Doty, the other two members of the committee met with regard to the appointment of Mr. Brian K. Gc~rris to the Planning Conw3.ssion and approved that nomination. Would like to make a brief Minority Report regarding this subject. After looking over the resume presented, ~~~~~~~
