<br />4) Safety Committee met Monday, October 17th also. In addition to those present at
<br />the Environmental/Finance Committee Meeting, were Safety Director Petre, Police Chief
<br />Taylor, and Captains Brow and Marsh. Chief Taylor explained the operation and purpose
<br />of the Traffic Tndex. No persan, or the deoartment as a whole, is assigned a quota
<br />or a set number of tickets to fie issued. Primarv reason for the Traf£ic Tndex is to
<br />reduce the number of accidents whtch cause injuries or fatalities. Each patrolman is
<br />evaluated each month by a shift sergeant. The evaluation report has fifty-one categories
<br />cx items which determine eacfi man's performance. This means traffic tickets make up
<br />only 1/50th of each person's evaluation. Tn th.e past eight years, one officer has been
<br />reprimanded for lack of productivity and this was not just in the area of issuing
<br />tickets but was related to ather performances as well.

<br />flooding problem they had due to the October 5th storm. Administration explained that
<br />over two inches of rain in a two fiour period was bound to cause problems. Next Janu-
<br />ary, City will try to eliminate storm water runoff into the sanitary sewer system in
<br />the Walter, Gessner, Maple Ridge Road area by disconnecting downspouts and installing
<br />splash pads, at no cost to the residents. Hopefully, this will help when the Spring
<br />rains fall. Also, will be instaliing hydro brakes in the DeerfieZd area and as part

<br />Ms. Catherine Castrigano, 25735 Lorain Road, complained of a telephone pole and a water
<br />hydrant in the middle of the driee leading to her condominium. Law Direetor advised
<br />this is private property; the City cannot £orce anyone to eNDend funds to remove a
<br />hazard from someone else's property.
<br />Mr. David Kaman, David Drive, advised Council that all of the condominium residents
<br />in the City are in favor of Qrdinance No. 83-40, removal of trash from condominium
<br />properties; would hope Council would pass the legislation tonight.
