<br />Mr. McKay, Chairman Environmental Control Committee as well as Streets and Drainage
<br />Committee reported: 1) Would like to share a little bit of information with regard
<br />to Radon gas, which is a byproduct of the deterioration of uranium and radium.
<br />Some. tests were made in Elyria, Amherst, Oberlin and Eaton Townships, as well a~
<br />Fairview Park, and no high levels of this gas were found in any homes. Radon
<br />seeps into houses through the cracks in basements, walls, floors and the ppenings
<br />for water and sewer pipes. Regulation of this kind of gas, at the present time,
<br />is impossible. Radon levels vary widely from one area to another .and even from
<br />house to house. The most common test for Radon is to place a charcoal cannister
<br />in the basement, at the lowest level, and leave for a three to seven day period.
<br />It is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The cost of the cannisters run
<br />between $12 and $25; anyone interested or needing more information can contact
<br />the Environmental Protection Agency who has authorized some companies to sell
<br />these testing units.
<br />Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Safety, Health and Welfare Committee reported: 1) Moved
<br />council have no objection to the transfer of a Dl, D2, D3, D6 liquor permit

<br />for passage this evening.
<br />2) Committee also discussed a Westlake ordinance regarding payment for parks and
<br />recreation purposes, which is basically a trust fund, and concluded that such a
