Council Minutes of 10/7/86 _5_ 3) Committee also discussed Ordinance No. 86-80, the hiring of a consulting engineer to do a study of the pool roof area at the Rec Center, as well as Ordinance No. 86-82 which provides for the funding. Would concur and support any motion by the Recreation Committee Chairman to remove both ordinances from the agenda and retain them in committee until the entire scope of the consulting engineer's responsibilities are determined and until the three proposals requested by council have been submitted by the administration. Feels both ordinances are too vague in defining over-all picture of what is to be accomplished. 4) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 86-85 which transfers appropriations within the General Fund. Administration's rationale for this legislation was heard and committee will be recommending some amendments to this legislation. Clerk of Council has been given these recommendations and they will be prepared for the October 21st meeting. 5) Clerk of Council has also been asked to forward a legislative request for an amendment to Ordinance No. 86-36; this will add a Building Inspector, part time, not to exceed 20 hours per week. It is committee's recommendation at this time to recommend against the hiring of an additional clerk to serve in the Building Department, in the Department of Budget and Management, and to fill in for the switchboard operator during breaks and lunch hours. This amendment will also be presented for the October 21st meeting. 6) Will be moving to amend Ordinance No. 86-91 when it is introduced and will ask for suspension of rule requiring three readings. Letters and Communications: Clerk of Council read a brief thank-you note from former President of Council, Dwayne R. Woerpel. Audience participation: Paul Hays, 1590 Onadaga Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio, representative from the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company, spoke in opposition to Resolution No. 86-94 which calls on Governor Richard F. Celeste to take all necessary steps to permanently close the Perry Nuclear Power Plant and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant. Mr. McKay, Chairman of the Environmental Control. Committee, will invite Mr. Hays and his group to attend the Environmental Control Committee Meeting when this legislation will be considered. Jay Powers, North Olmsted Firefigher, Local No. 1267, reported that October 5th through October 11th has been designated Fire Prevention Week. Deepest concern among firefighters is severe burns. The medical community describes severe burns as the greatest insult that can be inflicted on the human body. The International Association of Firef ighters' Burn Foundation was created for the purpose of establishment and/or improvement of specialized burn treatment facilities. One of these facilities is at Metropolitan General Hospital, under construction, the John A. Gannon Burn Center. Believing that fire prevention should be recognized not just one week of the year but 365 days of each and every year, Fireman Powers presented a 1987 firefighters' calendar to members of the administration and council. Irene Schultz, 6725 Nancy Drive, requested that Dean McKay withdraw from the Environmental Control Committee when it meets to discuss Resolution No. 86-94 since he is an employee of the East Ohio Gas Company. Marian Taylor, Rocky River resident, stated that she is a "notch" baby, arbitrarily being discriminated against by Social Security regulations. Would ask council to pass Resolution No. 86-97, which urges Congress to adopt legislation eliminating the "notch" in the Social Security System, this evening.
