Council Minutes of 9/2/86 -5- estimate there is currently available approximately $138,000 which could be appropriated. Ordinance No. 86-78 reflects the appropriation for Treatment Plant material as well as additional spare parts and overtime. Committee has no objection to the legislation and will be asking council's consdexarion for suspension of the rule requiring three readings in order to insure continued good operation of the facility. 2) Committee also discussed Ordinance No. 86-76 which is a transfer of appropri- ations. Mr. Crider had previously mentioned a new position of Pre-Treatment Personnel - one part-time individual, not to exceed 20 hours per month, for the balance of the year, in the amount of $500. The committee had also previously discussed with the administration a committment to appropriate additional dollars when the Mayor hired a Director of Public Safety. Ordinance No. 86-76 reflects both of these items. There are, however, two other items which are contained in the ordinance and were not discussed in committee. These other items cover Police Department and Service Department; would like further discussion with the admin- istration on these. 3) Committee also discussed Ordinance No. 86-79 and has no objection, however, there was a clarification made on Page Two; Section I has been removed in its en- tirety and therefore Section J was changed to Section I and Section K was changed to read Section J. Prior to audience participation, President Woerpel introduced Captain Thomas O'Grady, former company commander of the Sixth Infantry Battalion, First Armored Division in Germany. He is soon to be on a new assignment with the Government Language School in Monterey, California, to study Japanese. Captain O'Grady is the son of Councilman Tom O'Grady. Audience participation; Lori Davis, 4914 Hampton Drive, presented a survey of residents from all over the City of North Olmsted compiled during the four days of this year's Homecoming. A total of 602 surveys show only 158 willing to vote for an increase in taxes to support the twelve road projects proposed by the Transportation Study group. 537 of the 602 people surveyed preferred protection of residential. areas from, commercial development, 404 of the 602 people surveyed believe residential property values will be adversely affected by continued. commerciah expansion.. Results of the survey were given to all of council and the administration. James Fleger, 24387 .South Oxford Oval, requested that South Oxford Oval be in- cluded in the list of streets scheduled for repair. Temporary. repairs were made a year ago; street is being. undermined, is sinking and washing away. President Woerpel commented that council committees are looking at the streets needing re- pairs on a continuing basis and where the funds will be found to take care of this responsibility. Suggested that the Streets and Drainage Committee might want to look into this request. Councilman McKay stated that he has already met with Mr. Fleger and discussed it. His position continues to be that before voting for any new streets in the City of North Olmsted, a method of funding for re- pairs of established streets would have to be forthcoming. Lillian Kordish, 28541 Alden Drive, described the colors on the new Tony Roma's building; feels it is a sleazy looking building and is ashamed of the buff, orange, blue and maroon colors. It is her understanding that the original plans called for a buff and orange color scheme. Law Director Gareau informed her that the city does not have an ordinance dealing with color standards or architectural standards; perhaps that is something council might want to look into. President Woerpel asked the BZD Committee of council to take this under advisement and asked the Mayor to have the Building Commissioner check into the colors called for on the original plans.
