John DeMuth of the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Committee made a presentation on the county's solid waste management, the makeup of the committee, and the time frame for implementation which is January, 1993. In Westshore Committee's mind this is an extensive amount of time for the implementation. The committee also suggested that Service Directors from each community in the West- shore Area become a part of the recycling committee and that each community set up a recycling center in its own community. Committee is also asking Cleveland State University to provide an analysis on the types of solid waste and is encouraging school programs to educate younger residents on the solid waste problem. 2) Streets and Drainage Committee met on Monday, June 19th, to discuss the repair of Sunset Oval. At that time, the Ohio Contractors' Association had stated that the project can be addressed by using four different methods. These methods and their costs are being prepared by the Engineering Department and will be evalu- ated by the committee at a later date. 3) Ranchview and West Ranchview were also discussed and it appears that the re- habilitation of these two streets would cost $97,300; the appropriations are a little short to cover. this amount. of money. As late as this evening, Finance Committee Chairman advised funding would be available. 4) Committee also discussed the need and methods for cleaning storm and drainage ditches as well as catchbasins. The city has a five man crew that works full- time cleaning ditches and catchbasins.
