Would like to thank Director pon Copeland and Pat Strange for their help; 13orth Olmsted is fortunate to have two sueh capable people to help with the grant applications. 5) City Complex Committee met with the Mayor on May 18th and discusaed a letter re- ceived from an interior decorator who is requesting an interview. At this point, Committee feels that Sherwin-Williams should be contacted for suggestions since they have voiunteered to assist the City at no cost. Committee also decided to stay with a local interior decorator if possible. 6) A suggestion was made to try to aave the shrubs around the homes that are going to be auctioned; possibly replanting them at the Recreation Camplex. Councilman MeKay and Mrs. Petrigac toured the five homes and found a number of shrubs that would be suitable for the Rec Compiex. Will be contacting people from the Garden Club for their expertise. Councilman McKay, Chairman Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee as well as Environmental Control Comm.ittee reported: 1) With respect to the Litter Control Committee, 130 units have been ordered from Pompili Pre-Cast Concrete; first shipment of 30 to 36 units is expeeted as earl.q as the week of June 15th, with weekly deliveries of 20 to 30 units per week until the order is completed. Mr. McKsy ahowed Council and audience a copy of the winning design for the logo to be placed on the units and presented a check for $50.00 to Dan Karp who was the winning artist. 2) With respect to the shrubs around the houses, contacted Mr. Robert Stark, a member of the Garden Club. Mr. Stark inspected the shrubs and stated that in his opinion, they were too old and improperly developed to be placed at the Rec Complex. The age of the shrubs would require heavy equipment to remove them and doing so at this time of the year would probably not be suecessful. The trees in front of the three houses could be transplanted successfully but again, heavy equipment would be needed. 3) Environmental Control Committee met June 6th with a11 members present as well as Ma.yor Swietyniowski. Committee reviewed Ordinance No. 83-49, an agreement with the City of Cleveland for water service, and has no objection. 4) Committee also reviewed Ordinance No. 83-50 which controls water usage during emergencies and has no ob3ection. Mr. Bierman suggested that the shrubs be offered to any citizen of the City who wanted to take advantage of the ones that aren't too elderly. Mayor repl3ed that he thought there might be a problem with control; perhaps the person purchasing the house would take the shrubs along too; perhaps they could be given to Kiwanis for the park. Mrs. Petrigac stated this would be discussed further in Environmental Committee. Mr. Wilamoskq asked if the City would incur any liability with any loss of revenue should the Mayor declare a water emergency under Ordiaance No. 83-50. Law Director replied there was no liability as far as he was concerned; this is no different than if there was a disaster and a curfew was declared and everyone closed down.
