~ ~ Council Minutes of 7/19/88 -4- Audience. participation: '~ Madeline Brookshire, 5140 Hampton Drive, stated that she had consulted an attorney "'~` who advised her that the Charter of North Olmsted takes precedent over the Ohio Revised Code and according.to the Charter, the Clerk of Council was the proper person designated to receive the petition. Mrs. Brookshire asked if the city had ever applied for a federal grant to pay 757 of the cost of a $240,000 state of the art traffic computer system for traffic control as described in a Chronicle Telegram news item on December 27, 1984. Mayor Petrigac responded that to the best of her knowledge, in the 2~ years she has been mayor, such a grant has not been applied for. Gemma Szabo, 30837 Bradley Road, again spoke about the very poor water pressure in her home; is concerned about new developments making it even worse; feels it is a health hazard now. Mayor advised that she has asked that no building permits be issued until the water lines are completed on Cook and Porter Roads; cannot tell Olmsted Township what to do however. Mr. Wilamosky requested that the Mayor contact the County Engineers who studied the Cook and Porter Road water lines and ask for some documentation to prove that the new water lines will relieve the city's water pressure problems; Mayor responded that she would be happy to give them a call and get their figures. Water pressure problems and treatment of waste water from Olmsted Falls continued to be discussed. Pat Wheeler, 5154 Hampton Drive, discussed the Crocker/Stearns Extension; is con- cerned about the formation of a citizens advisory committee; has council or the Long Range Planning Committee of Council made any headway in planning the road; has there been. any application for funding? President Saringer advised that it is much too early for anything like this since the actual study will take from five to seven years. Kay Dorazio, 4610 Porter Road, on behalf of the Porter Road residents thanked council for approving the consent ordinance for the Crocker/Stearns Extension; has formed a group called "Save Our Streets" to support this issue if it goes on the ballot. Lillian Kordish, 28541 Alden Drive, discussed the sale of furniture on open parking lots; feels legislation should be passed to prohibit such sales. Roy Garland, 4576 Camellia, stated that the Ohio legislature had passed legis- lation restricting itinerate sales people from selling their wares in such places as parking lots without being heavily bonded; will look up the specific legislation and get it to council .tomorrow. Had assumed that these people were obtaining permits in North Olmsted according to this new state law; does not think a local ordinance is necessary to control such sales. With respect to the water pressure in North Olmsted, Mr. Garland feels that the present water tower needs to be raised twenty feet and increased thirty percent or build another water tower at the west end of town.
