Council Minutes. of 9/2/$6 _2_ 8) Mayor Rothschild of University Heights, Cleveland Councilman Barnes and Mayor Petrigac presented a resolution to the Ohio Municipal League in opposition to the United States Highway Fund being tied to the drinking age of 21 years of age. Also, will present this to NOACA at its meeting. Feels the United States govern- ment should not tie one type of funds with a vote on something that is not related. The Ohio. Municipal League supports this stand; it will be taken to NOACA; Mayor will keep council posted. 9) The Northern Ohio Cellular Telephone Company met with the administration last week; they would like to lease land from the city to construct a tower. Would appreciate the BZD Committee's study of this proposal; will forward the information to them. Perhaps the BZD Committee and the administration could sit down to discuss this or perhaps a meeting of council-as-a-whole would be needed. 10) Before vacation, council passed Ordinance No. 86-42 which dealt with school crossing guards, auxiliary police and matrons; the ordinance did not allow for the 57 pay increase. Perhaps the Finance Committee, Mayor and Chief Marsh could meet and take care of this in the near future. 11) The administration would also like to meet with the Risk Management Task Force to discuss Mayor Gaul's letter which indicates that a consulting firm has been talking with six communities about insurance. If this group is to proceed, it will cost $25,000 and Mayor would like some direction from council. There are several options: self-insurance, being part of the six communities or going with OML. It is time to move on this. 12) Received a draft from Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff regarding the improvements of Clague Road and Route 252. Copy of this is in the Council Office; would like to have council meet with the administration to discuss and see what direction to take. 13) Received a letter from Congressman Edward F. Feighan who advised that as addition- al Block Grant Funds become available, or discretionary monies are found, the Board of Commissioners will fund a project in South Euclid and the North Olmsted Project - the shuffleboard courts at the Senior Center. 14) Introduced Tom Fabek, Administrative Assistant and Patti Florkowski, Mayor's secretary. Mr. Wilamosky referred to Ordinance No. 86-42 as it dealt with school crossing guards and asked if the Mayor had had an opportunity to meet with school officials with respect to sharing some of the expense for these people. Mayor responded that she had not talked with them in an official capacity; hopes to be meeting with school personnel on other matters;. until then, would like to discuss the 57 raise and get that going so it will be in place if the administration can then make some adjust- ment with the school system. Mr. Wilamosky referred to the Risk Management Task Force and asked if the Mayor had an opportunity to compile a list of the city's losses for the last five years as the Task Force had earlier requested. Mayor Petrigac stated that she would have that information for the next meeting when the Task Force discusses Mayor Gaul's letter. Mr. Lackey asked if.the $25,000 fee was to be divided six ways; Mayor responded it was. Mayor also advised that it might be helpful if the Task Force considers prices from several consultants. Mr. McKay commented on a great deal of vandalism in the Plumwood and Danberry area. Mayor advised the Police Department and she were both aware of this and there is action being taken. ~~ r . Y...
