Council Minutes of 7/5/83 -5- People addressing Council: Mr. David Gardner, President West Park/Forest Ridge Civic Asaociation, addressed Council regarding the cleaning out of the north end of the City Park; the damaged Berkshire center strip pvst barrier; and curb deterioration. A1so wrote the Mayor about the inadequacy of the leaf program. What is particulariy bothersome is the fact that none of the corregpondence relating to these problems has been acknowledged by the Administration. Service Director Corrigan responded that the entire community must be served within the dollar parameters provided by the budget; he constantly reassesses priorities and responds to emergencies such as the recent weekend flooding as top priorities. The Service Department is going to be removed from the City Park; the damaged cater strip post barrier was re- moved - perhaps improper tamping left a puddle there; only has so many doilars to repair streets and curbs; iatends to hire part time help to supplement the raking process to improve leaf piekup. Mrs. Gemma Szabo, 30837 Bradley Road, sfiated that she resented Mr. Woerpel's reference to Ordinance No. 83-91 as "trash"; all legislation comes fram the Law Director. Mr. Woerpel stated the Law Director draws up the legisls€fon at the request of a member of Council; he puts it into legal language and Mr. Woerpel's comment referred to the intent of the legislation and what it proposed to do, not the legal and proper way in which it was presented. Mr. Joseph Sepesy, 4268 Plumwood Drive, spoke on behalf of the proposal to establish a separate Division on Aging; urged Council to allow the issue to go on the ballot and let the voters decide. Mr. Joseph Romanelli, 2851 Clague Road, discussed the bad fZooding and dama.ge done to his basement and contents over the weekend. Service Director explained that the LeBern lift station maZfunctioned; the ba:ckup system didn't take over because the telemetry did not indicate there was a problem; Service Department is investigating. Mr. James Lehr, 24156 Rosita Lane asked if the two bridges on Rosita Lane and Maria Lane were being repaired as well as having the ditches cleaned. Service Director advised that the Service Department plans to correct the situation. Mr. Nick Vollman, Representative of Bob Evan's Restaurants, discussed the proposal for the construction of a Bob Evan's Restaurant in Rorth Olmsted. The plans, which were presented and rejected by the Planning Commission, have been amended. Would ask for reconsideration. Mr. Vollman was advised to again present the plans, in amended form, to the Planning Commission. They will then be forwarded to Council with recommendation and be considered by the BZD Committee. Ms. Alice Birmingham, 25500 Country Club Boulevard, stated that she saw no difference at all between Ordinance No. 83-91 and Ordinance No. 83-76; titles are identical. Mrs. Petrigac explained that while the titles appeared to be the same, the contents of the ordinances varied and she would welcome the opportuztity to address the senior citizens and explain. Mrs. Saringer announced that this legislation would be fully discussed at her Le.gisiative Committee Meeting on July 12th, at 8:15 P.M. and invited all interested persons to attend. Mr. Henry Reichel, 5654 Columbia Road, again appea2ed to the Administration to do something about 150 feet of drainage ditch on the south side of Carey Lane; would Iike it covered as was done on the north side of the street.
