Mr. Benza stated that under the grant portion of the Issue Two monies, the project classification "rehabilitation" would have priority over "new construction". The ten items discussed were a) Deerfield, Phase Two - new construction; b) signalization - new construction; c) Recreation Complex - not eligible at all; d) Country. Club Boulevard - rehabil- itation; e) Elm road reconstruction - rehabilitation; f) Clague Road retention - rehabilitation; g) Sunset Oval - rehabilitation; h) Lorain Road water line re- lining - rehabilitation; i) Barton Road water line and relining - rehabilitation; j) Bradley Road Culvert - new construction. The review and approving body will consist of seven members - two from City of Cleveland, two from Cuyahoga County, two representing Mayors and Managers Association and one director. The City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County's basic responsibility is with bridges. Council and Mayor Petrigae should look at formulating a program but before the city can make an application it has to do the engineering. The cost of engineering for Country Club Boulevard alone would come to about $180,000. The first two years is grant money - it is strictly free money. If the proposals are not accepted as a grant, then. the city, to move ahead and make application for additional funding would have to be funded on a "pay-back" basis to Issue Two - it would not be a grant, it would be a loan. Council. must consider if it wants to go ahead and spend money for engineering, not knowing if it is even in the running. Frankly, suspects most of the grant money is going to wind up within the parameters of the City of Cleveland because of the structure of the system where Cleveland has essentially four votes - two with the County and two of their own. Will be meeting again for further discussion. to at least establish some goals.
