Council Minutes of 1/16/85 -2- roof, providing appropriate pool ventilation; renovating the ice rink compressor system; establishing a hot water conservation system and computerized energey management system. Payment for the system would be made by Roth Brothers re- ceiving the yearly energy savings from the system on an eight to ten year con- tract. Their estimate of savings is approximately $100,000, based on the 1983 energy cost. One concern of the commission was that the City did not have to advertise for bids for this contract, according to the Law Director's legal opinion. Would ask Law Director Gareau to be in attendance at this meeting. Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee, reported: 1) With all the concern expressed regarding Ordinance No. 84-124 covering traveling public shows and carnivals, Mr. O'Grady and committee reviewed the legislation once again. Fees and application have been increased from $5~ to $100; the inflation index has increased, in the 17 years since the ordinance was established, from a base of $100 in 1967 to $315 today so that $50 increase is very reasonable. The $500 deposit for services rendered by the City is unchanged from the old ordinance. The insurance policy of liability and indemnity insurance in the amount of $100,000/$300,000 per personal injury remains unchanged. Property damage coverage will be increased from $50,000 to $100,000. This was checked out with an insurance executive and he said the cost for this type of an increase for an entire year would be in the neighborhood of $100 and the traveling show or carnival would have much more coverage than this for property damage. The main difference in this new legislation is to give carnival and traveling shows per- mission for the employees responsible f_or the safety and/or security of equipment to utilize on-premise camper living quarters. Written approval from the Safety Director would be required. Committee again recommends adoption of the legislation. 2) Tor. O'Grady moved Council have no objection to the issuance of a D1 liquor per- mit for Nam [aah Express, Incorporated, 26625 Brookpark Road Extension, second by Mrs. Saringer, unanimously approved. Mrs. Petrigac, Chairman Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee as well as Transportation Committee reported: 1) Recreation Committee met this evening with Recreation Complex Manager Couts. Discussed Ordinance No. 84-120 dealing with wages. Committee was concerned with Ttems 6 through 11, raising ranges of various employees. Does not feel this legislation should be passed until the pay increases for the rest of the city are established. [Juld like Council to draft legislation similar to the school system whereby employees progress from one range to another, instead of constantly adjusting ranges as people reach the highest level of their range. Recreation Committee recommends that this legislation be referred to Finance Committee for consideration. President Boehmer asked Mrs. Petrigac to check with him so that a meeting could be scheduled to discuss the establishment of progressive ranges such as is done by the School Board. 2) Mrs. Petrigac pointed out that a line item, "Pro Shop" had exceeded the budget and needed an immediate transfer of funds. Would ask the Finance Committee to con- sider this at its next meeting. 3) The Ad Hoc Planning Committee met ,jointly with the Transportation Committee on January 10th. Discussed Ordinance No. 84-114 with the Mayor; this legislation deals with the relocation of 252 and ordinance had asked that the cul-de-sac at Bodecker Hill, south, be done away with and that portion be opened up until the completion of relocated 252 south. After discussion, it was decided to amend the ordinance and place it back on second reading. The amendment deletes the opening uv of the cul-de-sac and is a little stronger in urging the State to move forward on the proposal to relocate 252. Will be asking for suspension of rule requiring three readings on Ordinance Tdo. 84-114. [Jould also request the Administration to take some action at Columbia and Lorain Road where the traffic is horrendous.
