<br />Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Safety, Health and welfare Committee reported: 1) Safety
<br />Meeting was held with Council as a GThole Committee, and Directors Logan and Boyle
<br />also in attendance. Purpose of the meeting was to review a VMS 220 System, a
<br />total traffic signal management system. North Olmsted Police Lieutenant, Jerry
<br />Krynak, Signal Department Supervisor, had an opportunity to review the system
<br />at the company location as well as observing the system in action in Portsmith, Ohio,
<br />and he assessed the system very favorably. A key point made by Lt. Krynak was that
<br />North Olmsted's current system is disintegrating and lack of_ replacement parts is
<br />becoming critical. Mr. Cliff Coterly, traffic control engineer for Pac Master,
<br />presented a proposal of. tTMS 220 traffic management system which would handle six-
<br />teen intersections with expansion potential. A current demonstrator unit is ava3.labte
<br />for $6?_,450, plus $2,995 per intersection hookup. Recommender ipn was to start the
<br />system at the center of the City, around the Great ~Torthern Complex, and add on as
<br />required. A system to cover the entire City would cost a quarter of a million
<br />dollars. This proposal will remain in committee with no snecif.ic recommendation being
<br />made until the financing possibilities are reviewed as well as other company's pro-
<br />posals.
