Council Minutes of 12/5/89 -4- 2) Streets and Drainage Committee met on November 29th with Councilmen Boehmer, O'Grady and Wilamosky in attendance as well as Superintendent Crider. Committee discussed the Pheasants Walk Subdivision's punch list and discovered that the Engineering Department had already approved the final inspection. Committee feels that acceptance of the ordinance dedicating the streets should be delayed until the sewer lines have been x-rayed and okayed to city specifications. 3) Committee suggested that Canterbury and Lessner Roads be submitted to the County; the Mayor has already done so. 4) Committee also discussed. the Ohio Department of Transportation's proposal to improve Great Northern Boulevard from Butternut Ridge Road to Lorain Road, a distance of .93 miles, at an estimated cost of $810,000. The federal govern- ment will pay 757; the State of Ohio 157 and the City of North Olmsted 107. Committee supports the legislation and will ask for suspension of rule requiring three readings and passage this evening. Mr. Tallon, Chairman Building, Zoning and Development Committee reported: 1) BZD Committee met early this evening to review a plan previously submitted at a September meeting and referred back to the Planning Commission for change. The revised plan was then approved by Planning Commission and resubmitted to the BZD Committee. This is the Home Centers revised parking lot plan for pro- posed building, to the rear of Bob Evans' Restaurant, 25853 Lorain Road. The original plan covered the elimination of seven parking spots in the front of the Bob Evans' Restaurant; the revised plans call for the elimination of three parking places and also landscaping to this area. BZD Committee has no objection to the revised plans. Mr. Tallon moved council accept the revised proposal of Home Centers, as stated above, second by Mr. Bohlmann, unanimously approved. Mr. Wilamosky, Chairman Finance Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met on November 29th with all members in attendance as well as Councilmen O'Grady, McKay and Boehmer; Finance Director Boyle and Finance Director-Elect Burns, and Tom Terbrack who represented the Bus Line. Committee discussed Ordinance No. 89-96 and recommends the following amendment: Section 1, Salary Schedules, Administrative Personnel, "Secretary" and the salary range be struck entirely. Also, Section 9, Hospitalization/Health Insurance, Subsections (a), (b), and (c) be struck entirely and the new language to read that this will be covered by Ordinance No. 89-84 passed October 17, 1989, which establishes additional hospitalization benef its for nonbargaining unit employees of the City of North Olmsted. The position of "secretary" is a bargaining unit position in the AFSCME agreement signed on November 16, 1989. 2) With respect to the joint meeting previously reported on by Chairman Bohlmann, would just add that the next meeting with the Recreation Committee, relative to utilization of revenue, will be primarily dedicated to looking at other recreation needs, over and above the Rec Complex. Would like to look objectively at Clague Park, North Olmsted Park and the Barton/Bradley area. President Saringer reported: 1) Council-of-the-Whole Committee Meeting was held last week with Mayor-Elect Boyle, Chief Marsh, Chief VanKuren, Building Commissioner Conway and Recreation Complex Manager Fattlar to discuss the elimination of the Director of Budget and Management as well as Safety Director. After discussion, it was pretty much decided, with Mr. Boyle in agreement, that these positions would be retained, however, some criteria as to qualif ications for these positions, especially pertaining to the Safety Director, would be established. The Tax Adminstrator's duties would be handled by the Finance Director. The Finance De- partment would add one clerk and Budget and Management would be reduced by one clerk; the Budget and Management Department would fall more into personnel manage- ment with duties as Personnel Director, insurance and related matters.
