Council Minutes of 3/15/83 -4- Advisory Council. The Litter Control Program will include the purchase of approximately 65 stone aggregate litter receptacles to be installed at public transportation stops, City parks and the North blmBted Recreation Complex. In addition, commj.ttee progoses a public awareness program to educate residents, school children and other segments of the community. Schools wilZ conduct a contest to create an original s1Qgan or logo promoting litter control. When the original design is selected by the cotmnittee it will be reproduced and used on the litter receptacles, on signs around the City and possibly on City buses. A two to three minute video tape wi11 be prepared by West Shore Cable TV and presented to various commuunity organizations. By summer, all the components of the Litter Control Program will be in effect. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairma.n Finance Committee as we11 as Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) Finance Comaittee met Mareh 14th with Councilwoman Saringer also in attendance. Committee directed its ef£orts to formulating some reevamendations with respect to providing Coimcil with amendmtnts to the Mayor's approgriation ordinance. These amendments will be submitted prior to the reading of Ordinance No. 83-22 this evening. 2) Has also asked that Ordinance Nos. 83-17 and 83-18 be removed from the agenda. These ordinances deal with the hiring of an engineer for development plans and engineering studies for the relinifig of the water line. Comnittee is concerned with the City's funding capabilities to cover the cost of the total pro3ect. Until firm guidelines and programs for funding are established, it would be ludicrous to spend $100,000 to develop a plan that may be obsolete in two or three years. Would like to retain both ordinances in comanittee. 3) Recommendations for the appropriation ordinance do not provide, in any case, for wage increases. Comnittee would like to discuss with Council-as-a-Whole. There is no provision for keeping the ice rink open during the summer to provide a sunmuer skate program during the week at the Rec Center. Hopefully, will be pre- senting that at a later date in the form of legislation. Letters and Communications: Clerk of Council announeed receipt of a letter notifying the City of North Olmsted that a referendum petition will be circulated against Ordinance PIo. 83-2 and Ordinance No. 83-3, passed by Council on Mareh 1, 1983. Mayor Swietyniowski reparted receipt of a petition signed by the Presidents of the Condominium dwners' Assaciation ask.ing the City of North Olmsted to enact legis- lation authorizing the pickup of refuse from condominiums situated in the City. Also, a letter signed by owners of Kings Path Condominiums stating that they are reluctant to participate in the plan promoted by neighboring condominium owners to force the City to pick up rubbish from the condominiums; want no part of it; present pickup cost is mi.nimal and very satisfactory. People addressing Council: Mr. Ed Bak, North Olmsted Fireman/Paramedic read and presented a statement to Council objecting to Ordinance No. 83-30 regarding longevity and Ordinanee No. 83-31 re- garding employee vacatians. Feels the ordinances will take away the €iremens' rights to negotiate vacations and longevity. Jim Supple, North Olmsted Bus Driver also questioned these ordinances and asked how they would affect the Bus Line. Councilman Wi3amosky stated that the longevity ? change would not affect gresent employees whatsoever; the vacation ordinance is merely a clarification of the existing vacation ordinance.
