Council Minutes of 10/3/89 -3- Mr. Boehmer, Chairman Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee reported: 1) Safety Committee met on Wednesday, September 27th, with all members present. Committee discussed Ordinance No. 89-78, to establish "no parking" signs on the cul-de-sac portion of Ambour Drive and has no objection; will request suspension of rule requiring three readings and passage this evening. Mrs. Bahas, Chairman Long Range Planning Committee reported: 1) Combined meeting, of Safety and Long Range Planning Committees, was held on September 27th, with full attendance of both committees, to discuss occupancy restrictions in multi- family units. At this time, Mrs. Bahas discussed various proposals and legislation being implemented by other cities. Copies of these proposals will be given to council within the next week. Committee chose to take one item at a time with regard to restrictions of occupancy - the way it would be enforced for example. Committee will then go back for input and definitions of what occupancy means. After further. input from the committee, legislation will be drafted. In today's world, it is very difficult to define a family unit. It is not how many are in a home - it is how the home is maintained. There are abuses of disorderly conduct, poor maintenance; neglect of weeds, shutters, fences, etc. After legislation is drafted with respect to occupancy restrictions will follow up on these problems. Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Transportation Committee reported: 1) As an on-going program within the Transportation Committee, this past week inspected the vehicles at the Fire Department. Overall, found the vehicles to be in excellent condition and has given council members a complete listing of the vehicles along with mileage, age and condition report. An item of concern is the 1968 American LaFrance aerial truck which has a life expectancy of 20 years, plus 10 years as a reserve. While this truck should have gone into reserve this year, it is still on the line because there is no replacement for it. It is certified every year and is in excellent condition as are the medic rescue units, however, this equipment will not last forever. Normal maintenance, such as oil changes, .etc., are handled by the firemen. Any mechanical-type maintenenace that is beyond their capacity is done by Martyn's, with certain specialized maintenance done by experts from out of town. Mr. McKay, Chairman Environmental Control Committee as well as Streets and Drainage Committee reported: 1) North Olmsted Community Solid Waste Recycling Committee met on Monday, September 25th, to discuss and move forward to create a drop-off center for recycling. Committee is expecting some proposals from people who will be accepting the recyclables. Committee also discussed a curb- side pickup program but has no recommendation at this time. 2) There will be three leaf pickups this year, weather permitting. Sign postings will be made on streets. All leaves picked up west o£ Root Road will go to the North Olmsted drop-off center; those east of Root Road will go to the drop-off center by the airport. Leaves will be reduced to humus by high temperature composting; residents will be able to pick it up for use in their yards. There will be some type of control so professional people cannot go in and pick it up to sell to residents.
