Chairman Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee as well as Transportation Committee reported: 1) The Transportation Committee met on May 7th with all members present as well as Councilmen O'Grady, Wilamosky, Saringer, Council President Boehmer, Lt. Herrmann, Captain Gettins, Fire Chief Van Kuren and Safety Director Petre. Committee discussed the ten year old, 1974 Pontiac Catalina the Fire Department has requested be replaced. Car is primarily used by the Assistant Fire Chief and the Fire Prevention Officer. It is used on emergency runs and to inspect properties for compliance with fire laws. The car was inoperable at least fifteen times within the last year; is becoming quite costly to repair. Committee also discussed the 1976 Pontiac Ventura that has been in for repairs seven times within the last year. Committee feels both cars should be replaced, however it is apparent that the monies are not available for both. Committee recommends that Council find the money within the budget to replace the 1974 Pontiac with a medium- sized mini van which can carry all the equipment needed for the Fire Prevention Officer and that funds be made available in next year's budget to replace the 1976 Pontiac Ventura. 2) Committee discussed a ~~ regarding the lack of availability of the Service De- partment dump truck for use by the Recreation Department. Since the memo was sent, Mr. Gorsuch and Mr. Couts have been able to work out a solution. Parts will be purchased from a junk yard to rebuild a part of the body of the dump truck; a cab will be purchased and the rotting floor boards will be fixed; the entire truck will be reconditioned. 3) Committee again discussed the rear of North Olmsted Park which is looking worse each week instead of improving as promised. Service Director stated that street repairs at this time of year are the number one priority and men cannot be pulled off this task to clean up the park. Mrs. Petrigac has received calls about a white van which is carrying away the wood and various building parts of the structure that is being torn down. Mayor Swietyniowski had promised that the buildings would be torn down a month ago. Will discuss further under old business. 4) Mr. Logan presented a proposal for the Memorial Garden at the Park. The cost would be approximately $4,300 - a little bit higher than planned. Mrs. Petrigac's suggestion that the sum of $1,500 be incorporated in the recommendations for CDBG money was not favorably received. Committee is hoping to carry out plans for the Memorial Garden in phases and will continue to discuss this project. 5) Reminded the Mayor that there is a vacancy on the Landmarks Commission; is aware that a resume for a person to fill this vacancy was given to the Mayor a number of weeks ago. Mayor Swietyniowski said he only received the resume this week. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Committee as well as Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) The Finance Committee met on May 14th. In addition to the committee members in attendance, Mrs. Petrigac, President Boehmer, Director Corrigan, Mr. Gorsuch, Mayor Swietyniowski and Director Boyle were also present. Committee dis- cussed the balance of appropriations. A few areas need some internal adjustment. Some line items were miscoded. Deficits are appearing in other line items. Will be submitting legislation with transfer recommendations on these deficit items. In the future, all PO's and requisitions that show insufficient funds in the balance of appropriations will be returned to the requesting party. Communication will be sent
