f ~ Council Minutes of 1./6/8.7 -2- 5) With respect to the pending Hal.leen Case, Mr. Gareau has some problems in getting alighting expert. Received a phone call last evening reporting that Halleen's had turned the lights back on; an answer has been filed; city is prepared to go back into court and ask for a temporary restraining order. With a new judge involved, with trying to find a lighting expert, nothing is in line at this point; hopes to have something. positive to report in the next month or so. Feels the area residents have a substantial complaint that must be addressed. Has received a sample ordinance from Councilman Tallon which deals with light or glare pollution; will be looking to have legislation enacted in the near future. Finance Director Boyle reported: 1) Ohio Citizens' Bank of Toledo has advised that West Shore Cable has paid off its Industrial Revenue Bonds, obtained through North Olmsted's CIC and council. The new owners paid these off as of January 1st; will probably require some legislation later on since the City of North Olmsted stood behind the debt. 2) Has discussed with Representative Petro some legislation passed back in November, before he took office, which could possibly allow cities to enter into a deposit similar to what the state has under Withrow; would like some information to enhance, if not the City of North Olmsted, at least some of the small business development within the city. Also, discussed the early retirement bill that passed in November; had a few questions on whether portions of it were mandatory or not and how it would affect city. employees. 3) On January 2nd, representative of Arthur Young observed the inventories in the Service Garage and Recreation; she will be back tomorrow to observe the Bus Line. Both Service and Recreation inventories were done properly; the figures that were shown are reflected in the actual inventories. There was a problem last year and due to the death of Al Cepek, Tim Demaline is in charge of the Service Department inventory this year. Tom took it over, put the entire inventory together, which had never been done before, and everything he said was there, was there; every value was correct; every extension was correct. He did an excellent job in a very short time. Mr. Rademaker, Chairman Transportation Committee reported: 1) Committee met earlier this evening with respect to Resolution No. 86-128. and Resolution No. 86-129. Resolution No. 86-129 asks that a political subdivision, the size of North Olmsted, be able to receive funding for a transit system; committee urges adoption of this resolution. 2) Resolution No. 86-128, adopting the North Olmsted Transportation Study Plan, was also discussed; discussion centered around finances. Some concern was raised by Mr. McKay, Mr. O'Grady and Mr. Wilamosky with regard to funding these projects before funding the streets that are presently in need of repair. It was resolved that this legislation merely urges and encourages the city to work toward adopting projects in the future but does not necessarily recommend funding of the projects. In fact, the resolution indicates that council recognizes that additional legislation would have to be adopted in the future to fund the projects. Therefore, committee does recommend adoption of Resolution No. 86-128 with the proviso that there is no recommendation for funding -just that council recognizes a need for the projects at some future date. Audience participation.: ~, Mr. Angelo Skoulis, 24732 Mitchell Drive, discussed a letter from Great Northern Development Corporation, stating their intention to request the Ohio Department of Transporation to allow a curb cut from their corporate headquarters on Brook- park Road and requesting the city's. support in this request. As President of Park West Homeowners' Association, voiced objections; presented data to be included as part of the council minutes; urged council not to support the request and to do what it could to have the proposal turned down by the State of Ohio. .-:.-..a>vue+.z+dmaygs,pppt~.,p.cr.'rxe~ _ :--.r~..,gnm;RSS: ~.~., .. ..:~.~a=m~~Y~~..M:_~~.~,.. ,,~s~w .: w:~.-m r.,~.,:.~„.. r~ ~, : ~::
