Council Minutes of 12/16/86 -7- Mr. McKay, Chairman Environmental Control Committee as well as Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) Environmental Control Committee met jointly with Finance Committee on Tuesday, December 9th, to discuss Ordinance No. 86-125 which deals with the rubbish pickup contract with BFI. Since there has been no increase in the cost of rubbish pickup, committee has no objection to the approval of this ordinance. Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee reported: 1) Committee met on Tuesday, December 9th with Councilmen Wilamosky and McKay in attendance as well as Mayor Petrigac, Chief Marsh, Captain Krynak, Admin- istrator Jack, Director Copeland, Director Becker. Committee discussed Ordinance No. 86-124 which amends the Traffic Control File of the city to provide for the elimination of the traff is signal at the intersection of Butternut Ridge and old Columbia Road. One of the members felt that with the elimination of that traffic signal that a north/south "stop sign" on Columbia Road at Butter- nut Road should be added. The lack of a traffic count, which is actually eliminating the traffic signal, would also prohibit the installation of a north/south. stop sign at .that intersection, therefore, committee unanimously supports adoption of Ordinance No. 86-124. 2) Committee then discussed the Board of Education letter with regard to the school crossing guard program. Of course, the letter stated that the Board of Education "voted five to zero to deny the city's request for payment or shared payment of the school crossing guard program". Some dialogue was covered to see if any feasible solution could be made to cut the cost and improve the service. After much discussion, it was determined that the city receives excellent value for its dollars supporting the school crossing guards. One suggestion was to go to a flat rate per day but the concensus was that the city could not retain the present guards if that type of system was adopted, therefore, the present program will remain in effect. 3) The next item discussed was a letter from the City Engineer requesting the Safety Committee to consider the review of the removal of a "no right turn on red" sign at the intersection of relocated State Route 252 and Butternut Ridge Road. This will be deferred until the Spring of 1987 when a traffic survey will be conducted to determine if it is warranted to continue to have those there. 4) Committee also covered discussion with respect to the senior van, which may only be available four hours per day in December. The main problem is lack of drivers due to the income restriction of $5,000 per year under Title Five. The hiring of qualified drivers, with this restriction, is almost an impossibility. Committee supports the. addition of a line item in the 1987 budget, if at all possible, to help alleviate this problem for our most valued seniors. 5) Mr. O'Grady moved council have no objection to the issuance of a D1 liquor permit to Corporate Fund Services, Incorporated, dba Corporate Cafe, 25000 Country Club Boulevard, Suite 198, North Olmsted, Ohio, second by Mr. Logan, unanimously approved. Mr. Logan, Chairman Intra-Governmental Relations and Legislative Committee re- ported: 1) Moved council approve the appointment of Mr. Robert Gallowy, to replace Robert Grace, on the Board of Building Code Appeals, second by Mr. O'Grady, unanimously approved. 2) Moved council approve the reappointment of Mr. Chester H. Remmel to another term as member. of the Board of Zoning Appeals, second by Mr. Wilamosky, unanimously approved.
