Would like to have included in the report, when the money was received; the amount and date it was received; the amounts expended; the purpose of the expenditures; the dates of the expenditures; who expended it and who authorized the expenditures. Audience participation: Mr. Jerry Penyin, 6427 Barton Road, discussed Ordinance No. 74-112 which prohibits having an inoperable vehicle or motor vehicles unfit for further use as motor vehicles on private property. His neighbor, Joe Dickey, 6397 Barton Road has been cited for working on an inoperable car in his backyard. Does not think the intent of this ordinance was to hassle a 70 year old man who works on a car as a hobby. Suggests an appeal's board similar to the BZA; have boundary markers of distance from road or home; or have inspectors with the power to evaluate the violation of the intent of the ordinance. Submitted his suggestions to Ward 3 Councilman, Ron Wilamosky. Mr. Larry Schwartz, 24946 Florence Avenue, discussed Resolution No. 85-73 and expressed his hope that council would consider other city's means for increasing revenues without increasing taxes; feels the Finance Director should work closely with council to improve the financial condition of the city without increasing the taxes of the residents; please vote for true taxpayer relief. Mr. Wilamosky re- quested that Mr. Schwartz submit some recommendations which the Finance Committee would be happy to look into. Mrs. Alice Holmok, 3443 West 231 Street, asked what the procedure was for using the sign in the front of the Community Cabin. Service Director replied that the basic procedure was that whoever was renting the cabin had first use of the sign. Mrs. Holmok stated that the Community Council held a Strawberry Festival on June 22nd, rented the cabin for this event, and was told they could not use the sign. Mr. Corrigan stated there must have been an administrative foul-up or bad communication because they should definitely been given that privilege. Mr. Steven Soltay, representing Mr. Ernest Nemeth and the strip shopping center interests at 29328 Lorain Road requested Council to reconsider their decision with respect to the installation of just the one driveway and allow them to have two; the Safety Department and the Fire Department both approved of two driveways; other business on Lorain Road have two; it would be more accessible for emergency vehicles.
