.. • Council Minutes of 2/18/86 _2_ 10) Transportation Study Team met last Saturday to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the committee. Study Team passed the following motion: "the team supports maintaining the option of a full interchange between Clague Road and I480 during development of preliminary plans for improvements to Clague Road currently under consideration". 11) Nine city hall volunteers have donated over 80-3/4 hours during the month of January; anyone wishing to volunteer is asked to contact Service Department secretary, Pat Martin. This donated time does not include the many, many hours given by Don DeBrodt. 12) Two of the six puppies in the city's kennel have been adopted; anyone wishing to adopt the remaining four may call City Hall. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) Pre-trial in the Clark Oil appeal was held today. They have appealed the denial of the right to build a canopy at the Clark Oil site at Stearns Road. No decision was made because of a pending motion for the Clark Oil Company to submit additional evidence and until that is ruled on, nothing further can be done. 2) Pre-trial in the Crumbley Law Suit will take place next Monday. 3) Romp Rezoning Case was postponed by the judge for an indefinite period; bailiff indicated it would probably be resurrected in June of this year. 4) Brief in the Zurawski Law Suit, the one in the Eighth Appellate District, was filed Friday on behalf of the city. Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) Received the fourth quarter reimbursement from West Shore Cable TV in the amount of $14,348. Will be receiving their audit within the next month and a half. 2) Regional Income Tax approved their budget/appropriation last Thursday. The end of year statement shows the cost of collection down to 2.57 from 2.71 the year be- fore; cost to the city will also be lower. 3) Received a letter from the Auditor of State advising that they are going to electronic transfers. This should give the city about five days of investment time on all the receipts due. The electronic transfers will start in March and the city's cash flow should be a little bit better. 4) Audit of the North Olmsted Bus System, by the Regional Transit Authority, will begin tomorrow; audit of the city's books, by Arthur Young and Company, will begin May 19th with preliminary discussions in April. 5) With respect to the Transportation Study Team's motion with regard to Clague Road, there has been quite a bit of concern with respect to Clague Road traffic. It appears it is either at, or quickly approaching, saturation. Part of the reasoning behind the motion was that there will be a study done soon and the question of a full interchange or a change in the interchange will have to be addressed soon since it has become a major issue. In the absence of Mr. Rademaker, Chairman Transportation Committee, Mr. McKay reported: 1) Transportation Committee met this evening at 7 P.M. with Chief Marsh, Councilman O'Grady and Councilman McKay in attendance. Committee discussed the purchase of five police cars which was the original intention under Resolution No. 86-9. Chief Marsh has checked into the rehabilitation of police cars and recommends that the city purchase three new police cars and rehabilitate two cars presently in use. The cost to rehabilitate the two cars would be approximately nine to eleven thousand dollars. Committee has no objection.
