Council Minutes of 7/15/86 -2- 8) Met with Mr. Halleen of Halleen Chevy this morning. There is a controversy over whether the four light poles in front of the new construction should be at twenty or thirty feet in height. Mayor asked Law Director Gareau for his interpretation as to the correct height; Law Director stated that in his opinion ALL the lights are to be at twenty feet; no occupancy permit of any kind will be issued until all lights are at the twenty foot level. Mr. Halleen suggested a meeting with neighboring residents and council to check the impact of the lighting, if any. 9) Afire drill was held today at the City Hall Complex; buildings were vacated in three minutes or less; Fire Chief VanKuren was satisfied with this response. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Pre-trial is scheduled for Thursday in the Tudor Law Suit, which is against the insurance company that refused to defend the city in the Zurawski Case. Zurawski had 30 days within which to appeal, in both cases, and he has not done so, consequently those cases are finalized and the city prevailed in both of them. Tudor has agreed to pay the City of North Olmsted $1,300, which will accurately reimburse the city for at least the clerical time spent in regard to the law suit. 2) This coming Friday, argument in the motion to stay and attorney's fees in the Crumbley Case will be heard. Law Director Gareau and Assistant Director of Law, James Dubelko, will be in Columbus at a seminar conducted by the Ohio Legal Council and therefore, Dan Ryan will represent the city to argue with ~ spent to that stay. Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) The Lorain Road note for $100,000, passed last month, sold to McDonald and Company at 5.37 interest. 2) Today, received $1,037,880.08 of property taxes, bringing the city to $3,400,000, which is 68.97 of total real estate taxes now paid.. This puts the city pretty much on line with the new, amended certificate that came in today; Finance Committee will be receiving it in tomorrow's mail; all the appropriations are within the amended certificate. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met jointly with Streets and Drainage Committee to discuss available revenues versus projects to be undertaken this year.
