With respect to the preliminary injunction hearing, the Association did agree to withdraw its complaint for that nhase against the City of rTorth OZmsted. Law Director will continue to attend the hearings because any evidence submitted at this stage is also admitted for the final. hearing and he wants to make sure the record is pro- tected.

Is presently determining if this cooling tower is adequate for use at the Rec Complex. 4) Over the past six or seven years, Council and the Administration had discussed the business district areas and p roposed speed limit changes. Feels Council should develop legislation to better identify business district as being an area on Lorain Road, from Stearns eastward to the Fairview line, and change the speed 1imit to 25 miles per hour within said district. Lorain Road carries the major portion of vehicular traffic with the majority of accidents occurring in the above described area. Would like this issue to be considered by the Saf_ety Committee of Council. Mr. Logan requested in£ormatfon regarding what portion of the accidents were speed related, as well as a definition of terms. Mr. Wilamosky pointed out that in his research of this area, specifically in the area of McKenzie to Decker, he found that it did not meet the warrants as prescribed by the State's statutes in setting speed limits in business districts in the State of Ohio on a state highway. Feels Council should look at whether the existing posting in this area meets the statutes as it relates- to the number of businesses in this prescribed district before changing to a 25 mile an hour speed zone.
