Mr. Bohlmann, Chairman Intra-Governmental Relations and Legislation Committee reported: 1) Legislation Committee met on September 13th with Mayor Petrigac, Councilmen Tallon and O'Grady in attendance as well as Law Director Gareau and Building Commissioner Conway. Committee discussed Ordinance No. 88-94 which covers peddlers, solicitors, canvassers and transient vendors. Committee recommended a couple of changes, the major one being that a permit must be applied for ten days in advance of the date of usage. This will give the city an opportunity to see that the allotted parking spaces are not violated; if there is a violation, the permit will not be issued. Committee recommends approval of Ordinance No. 88-94 as amended. 2) Committee also met and interviewed Marilyn Ransome for a position on the De- partment of Human Resources Advisory Committee. Committee finds Mrs. Ransome to be highly qualified and an outstanding candidate to serve on the DHR Advisory Committee. Mr. Bohlmann moved council approve the appointment of Marilyn Ransome to fill the unexpired term of Scott. Shepherd on the DHR Advisory Committee, second by Mr. Wilamosky, unanimously approved. In the absence of Chairman McKay, Councilman Wilamosky gave the following Streets and Drainage Committee report: 1) Streets and Drainage Committee met on September 13, 1988, to discuss Ordinance No. 88-97 which deals with a joint agreement be- tween. North Olmsted and Westlake to pave Maple Ridge Road between Walter Road and Columbia Road. Originally, the City of Westlake was to serve as lead agency and pay all contract costs - the City of North Olmsted would then reimburse them. However, the City of North Olmsted does have a contract for Bomag; Westlake does not. There is legislation on the agenda this evening, Ordinance No. 88-]:00, which provides for a transfer of funds to cover North Olmsted's share of the cost so therefore, the money is available right now. Committee heartily supports the resurfacing of Maple Ridge Road.
