Mayor Swietyniowski reported: 1) Explained a new program called "Operation HOME", Help Ourselves Minimize Exploitation, which is designed to protect North Olmsted residents from being victims of home repair fraud. 2) Announced that Fairview General Hospital was sponsoring a community health series at the North Olmsted Senior Center on October 9th, November 5th and Januazy 16th; programs are free and open to the public. Also, a public health nurse from the Cuyahoga Health Department will be conducting a health, education and screening clinic once a month at the Senior Citizens' Center. 3) Leaf pickup will begin October 15th and end December 15th with three complete pickups city-wide. Law Director Gareau reported: I) With respect to the status of the Police and Fire Pension Disability Fund Case dealing with the City being assessed $386,OOQ, the City had won in the lower court as well as in the Court of Appeals. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court in June but the brief in support of jurisdiction was never filed so the case is now concluded and will stand. 2) City also had a dispute. over the Kings' Path Condominium Case dealing with the Med Center. The lower court had originally indicated that the City had to assist in abating the nuisance that was created with respect to water accumulating in the driveway. Law Director firmly believes this is a private nuisance and not a public nuisance and appealed the case; it was then dismissed by the judge. There was another appeal taken from that dismissal and wound up with too appeals in the Court of Appeals. Kings' Path attorney has agreed to dismiss his appeal if the City of North Olmsted dismisses its appeal. Law Director has agreed to do so. This leaves the City in the position of not being responsible for helping to abate any nuisance or participate in any problems that exist between the Med Center and Kings' Path Condominium.
