<br />1) Safety Committee met yesterday with the Mayor, Councilwoman Petrigac, Safety
<br />Director, Chief Marsh, Captain Krynak, Patrolman Novak and Mrs. Karen Maxima
<br />from Pre-School PTA in attendance. This was a follow-up to ,the Safety Meeting
<br />of Marsh 26th when video taping of children or a Child Find approach to missing
<br />children was discussed. There are so many legal aspects connected with video
<br />taping that committee decided to strongly recommend the Child Registry Program.
<br />Hopefull the PTA will become the vehicle to move this program forward. It will
<br />take som monetary support and hopefully community groups will get involved also.
<br />The Chil Registry Program supplies a handbook which will contain the child's
<br />picture, fingerprints and dental records. It will be so inclusive that it will
<br />really b of help to law enforcement agencies searching for missing children.
<br />Mr. 0'Gr dy was most impressed with the fact that if the City participates in this
<br />program nd reports a missing child, the information will go out to 150,000 organ-
<br />izations immediately with the child's picture. There will be 15,000 law enforce-
<br />ment age ties, 80,000 schools, 14,000 libraries, 32,000 post offices, 9,000 news-
<br />papers, ,900 television stations and over 2,000 YMCA centers involved. For those
<br />resident interested in video taping, First Federal Bank of Lakewood, recently
<br />opened o Lorain Road in North Olmsted, will be video taping on April 21st, by
<br />appointor nt only, from one to five.
<br />2) Mr. 0 Grady moved Council have no objection to the issuance of an F2 liquor

<br />and Juli Brown from Landmarks Commission, Bill Lackey and Alice Holmak from
<br />Communit Council,: Director Copeland and Director Petre as well as the Mayor and
<br />Councilor n Bierman, Chairman of Long Range Planning Committee, to discuss the
<br />renovati n of the Community Cabin and Ordinance No. 85-34 which agrees to the

<br />must be tarted by the end of September to be in compliance with the terms of the
<br />CDBG fun Approximately $750 of the amount agreed upon for the wiring of the
<br />Cabin co ld be-put toward the hiring of an architect. The architect would address
<br />the tota building including ceiling, rebuilding of kitchen, .plumbing, new light-
<br />ing, etc He would also tie the Senior Center in with the Community Cabin.
<br />Mr. Lack y suggested that a portion of the $1,200 in the Community Council Cabin
<br />Fund cou d possibly be used for this renovation and he will look into it. There
<br />is a nee for a water Line to come from Lorain Road and this is a very expensive
<br />project. The Cabin also needs to be kept clean on a day to day basis; the Mayor
<br />said he ould make sure that this is done, It was recommended that the architect
<br />be one w o is familiar with the renovation of historical buildings. Committee
<br />suggests that nothing be started until after Homecoming, however, as soon as the
<br />ordinanc is passed that the plans be immediately prepared and submitted to the
<br />proper c until committee. All organizations and groups now using the Cabin should
<br />be notif ed now that beginning in September and for the two/three months immediately
<br />followin the building will not be available and they will need to find other
<br />faciliti s. It was suggested that some of the City Hall rooms could be made
<br />availabl such as the Council Chambers, and the Mayor has agreed to do this.
<br />2) Trans ortation Committee met this evening at 7 o'clock with City Engineer Schaller,
<br />Safety Director Petre, Captain Krynak and all members of the committee in attendance.
<br />Council ad passed an ordinance authorizing the bidding of police vehicles a few
<br />months ago, however, the Safety Director did not go out for bids at that time since
<br />the mone~ had not been appropriated. The Ford Motor Company is the only manufacturer
<br />still ab e to accommodate the city and then only through April 30th. The council
<br />agreed t give Mr. Petre the authorization to go ahead with the bidding procedure,
<br />with a c ormittment to pass the note ordinance that will be forthcoming.
