Council Minutes of 5/17/83 - 3- 4D A histvey of the subdivision and its various problems was diecussed, including a list of pre-dedication items fram April, 1981, and the building of Class B homes in the area. Residents expressed their view that dedieation was the top priority. It was apparent a number of questions need answering, including exaetly what was contained in the pre- dedication inspection report of April 6, 1981; what items Shore West is willing or required to take care of; what, if any, is the financial responsibility to the City by Continental Savings and what is the positbn of the City of North Olsmted with re- spect to the items to be completed prior to dedication. All Members of Cauncil in attendance, expressed an interest and desire to assist the residents with a timely solution to their problems. Mr. McKay, Chairman Environmental Control Committee as well as Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee reportedr 1) Safety Comnittee met May 9th with Safety Director Petre, Police Chief Taylor, Councilwoman Petrigac and Couneilman McKa3F in attendance. Although a Committee quoram was not present, Ordinance No. 83-48 was discussed. The intent of this ordinance is to discourage large parties where young, underage gersons are supplied with alcoholic beverages and end up disturbing the peace. Passage of this ordinance will hold the owr?er or tenant of the property responsible for the guests' conduct and they can be charged i?diately or on the following day, whichever the case may warrant. There is no abjection to this ordinance. 2) Council-of-the-Whole Committee met to discuss Jail Standards. Those in attendance were President Boehmer, Couneilmen Bierman, McKay, Petrigac and Saringer; Law Director Gareau, 5ervice Director Corrigan, Safety Director Petre, Poliee Chief Taylor and reporter Nancy Wlodarski. Law Director pofnted out two possible solutions. (?ne, City can make every effort to conform with the Ohio Jail Standards and seek variances for those standards that cannot be met or are to cost3.y. Tao, take the pQSit#.on that North Olmsted is a chartered city and has the rig&#a to home rule and to continue to follow the Jail standards already established. It was also pointed out that some changes should be ma.de to elevate our Jail to ffieet the requirements. These changes include: 1) additional closed circuit TV cameras and monitors in the Dispatch Area; 2) electronic control from the dispatch area to the two outer doors; 3) penal type plumbing in juvenile ce11s No. 10 and 11; 4) cell table and seat in cells; 5) construction af a visiting area; 6) an electronic seareh alert. Approximate cost would be $25,000 minimum. Also dis- cussed was the recent resigttatinn of Detective Keith Young who was the pcalpgraph opera- tor. Upon resigning, Otficer Young reimbursed the City $2,526.79 as per an agreement with his attendiag the polqgraph school and then leaving the City within a three year period. Cost to send another officer to school would be $5,026.79 so an additional $2,500 is needed. Would ask the Finance Committee to review this as well as the up- grading of the Jail standards. 3) Recreation Comsnission met on May lOth with a large attendance of home owners from the Ranchview, West Ranchview and Tallwood areas voicing their objections to have a BMX track located in the old toboggan run area. Safety Director reported CEI has cancelled its contract effective January lst and there will be an increase of 13%. A new water meter was installed and the first reading was $12,000. This compares to $1,900 for all of last year so an investigation is underwsy to see if there are leaks or if the meter is faulty. Safety Director reported that auxiliary police are on duty in a number of park areas. Fireworks will be displayed on July 4th at 9:45 P.M., with a rain date of July 9th. City Auditors feel that the Pro Shop is in violation of the code by using credit cards and picking up the cost of these cards. A proposal is underway to have area banks pick up the cost. Recently presented Ice Blossom Show was excellent. 4) Environmental and Litter Control Advisory Com¢nittee met on Wednesday, May llth, to ? select the logo for the litter containers. Over 100 entries were reeeiwed and a winner has been seleeted. Burger King will treat all those who entered to a sandwich and a soft drink and posters will be displayed at Burger King as well as in other establishments throughout the City. Extended appreciation and thanks to Marie Case and John Fairfield who helped in the selection of tfie winning poster.
