Council Minutes of 2/5/85 -5- recognized by the State Employee Relations Board on November 21, 1985. The State ;~ Employee Relations Board notified the City, on September 17, 1984, of the fire- fighters request for recognition and the City had a prescribed number of days in which to file a request for exclusion of certain job classifications. This letter was not received in the Mayor's office until after the prescribed date for which the City had to file for such exclusions. Mr. Wilamosky is concerned with respect to who signed for the registered letter; who held it until the eleventh hour. The Mayor's filing for some exclusions was rejected on the basis that the City did not file within the prescribed time. Would like Council to give some thought to having the Law Department and the Administration investigate to see who signed for the letter, who intercepted that letter and kept it from the Mayor until too late for the City to file for exclusions. President Boehmer suggested that the information presented by Mr. ?ailamosky be turned over to the Law Department for investigation. Law Director asked that the information and research already compiled by sent to him, in writing, and he would look into it. Mr. Rademaker scheduled an Environmental Committee Meeting for February 12th at 7:30 P.M. !rlr. Rademaker discussed the horrible condition of 1480 due to the snow accumulation and described a very bad accident that he witnessed earlier in the day. While 1480 is neglected by the Ohio Department of Transportation, I71 is usually in very good condition. Asked the Administration to see if ODOT could pay more attention to 1480. Safety Director Petre stated he would communicate with ODOT and see what the state's procedures were with respect to snow removal and salting. Service Director Corrigan stated that upon specific requests from the North Olmsted Police Department, the City Service Department has salted the ramps. Has also, in the past, coordinated with the state in salting 1480. Mr. Rademaker also stated that there was another accident right near the Claque Road interchange and noticed a young lady walking up the highway after her car had spun out, obviously looking for a phone to call for help. Has any progress been made with respect to Mr. Bierman's request for the Administration to contact Ohio Bell about the installation of emergency phones. Service Director stated that he had not heard of any progress. Safety Director advised that in the past Ohio Bell had turned a deaf ear to any request for phone installation in the area. Mrs. Petrigac complimented the Service Department for-the good job they have done in keeping the streets of North Olmsted plowed and salted. Mrs. Petrigac reported that she had been approached by the PTA to help implement a program to have children's pictures video taped. Has discussed such a program with Chairman O'Grady of the Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee and he concurs that the City should become involved. Requested President Boehmer to refer this matter to the Safety Committee so it could he pursued by Mr. O'Grady and herse_l.f_. President Boehmer asked that this be done. Mr. Bierman commented that as far as Mr. Rademaker's remarks concerning the in- stallation of emergency phones were concerned, it has now been fifteen working days and he has not vet heard from the Mayor as he promised. Mr. O'Grady scheduled a Safety Committee Meeting for Wednesday, 7 P.M., February 13th with Safety Director Petre, Sgt. Novak and President Boehmer to he in attendance.
