~' Council Minutes of 1/6/87 -5- Mr. Tallon asked if the Service Department was not qualified to find a short.; ~'"~' does it not do these type of repair jobs; if not, then there is a problem in the Service Department which needs to be corrected; does not believe the entire Fire Department needs to be called to check out a string of lights; it is minor electrical work. Service Director Noble stated that nowhere in the Memorandum of Understanding is there a classif ication of "electrician"; the Service Department does not do any electrical work on the site; there is no qualified electrician in the Service Department. The electrical inspector, in the Building Department, was not available at the time the Mayor made the decision to call the Fire Department. Mr. Logan requested the administration to check the records of council with respect to a BZD Committee meeting held in 1979/80 regarding a written agree- ment with the owners of Zayre's to the effect that as soon as a curb cut was allowed on Brookpark Road, Zayre's would remove the big "Zayre's" sign above their store. Mr. Logan submitted the letter to the Building Department; believes Zayre's has six months to remove the sign. Mr. Rademaker noted that the minutes of the council meeting of December 16th reported that Finance Director Boyle had been requested to attend a County Commissioners Meeting to testify on the impact of federal revenue sharing cuts on local economies. Did he attend this December 12th meeting? Finance Director replied that Mayor Petrigac had requested him to attend on Thursday; since the meeting was the next day, it was too late for him to make arrangements to do so. Mr. Rademaker asked for an explanation with respect to Ordinance No. 86-118, passed by council and vetoed by the Mayor. Council did not take a vote on over-riding the veto; under council rules, there was just a motion by Mr. Wilamosky to reconsider the vote of the prior meeting. Law Director Gareau advised that Mr. Wilamosky's motion was to reconsider the ordinance, as the Charter provides. Since this motion carried, the legislation was then voted on all over again and was passed. Mr. Wilamosky noted that the transcript will reflect that there were two motions: one to concur with the requirements of the Charter to reconsider the ordinance and two, to then physically move to vote on the legislation. Mr. Rademaker congratulated the Mayor on being named in Cleveland Magazine as one of the areas 1987 most interesting persons. Mr. Lackey stated that he attended a seminar in December where the question of revenue funds, state funds, Community Block Grant Program, and self-insurance was discussed. Has all that information available if anyone is interested. Mr. Wilamosky asked the Clerk not to place Ordinance No. 86-136 on the agenda until the Finance Committee had an opportunity to review it in committee. President Saringer asked the Finance Committee to also discuss a communication from the Mayor in regard to self-insurance; there is a fee of $500. President Saringer asked Councilman Logan to discuss the letter from Planning Commission with respect to a proposed charter amendment which they discussed at their December 9th meeting. Also, please discuss the rules of council at the Legislative Committee meeting .for up-dating. y«,
