Mayor Boyle reported: 1) The sewer agreement, passed by the Council of the City of North Olmsted on April 3rd, was approved by the Council of the City of Fairview Park at its council meeting last night; copies will be forwarded to the EPA in both Chicago and Columbus. The $13,000,000 grant that was in jeopardy at the beginning of the year, due to failure to negotiate the user fee, is no longer in jeopardy; that portion of the problem has been put to bed. By this time next year, the I and I study and remedy will have resolved the entire issue. 2) On April 27th, at 10 A.M., the city will celebrate "Earth Day" and "Arbor Day" at the Senior Center and North Olmsted Park. This is a combined effort of the city and the schools. A tree will be planted and this will be the first event commemorating the city's 175 Anniversary; everyone is invited to attend. 3) Mr. Thomas McIntyre, Vice Chairman of the Charter Review Commission, has been forced to resign due to health reasons - he will be undergoing heart surgery later this week at Cleveland Clinic. The Charter Review Commission is meeting now to decide whether the Mayor should appoint a new member or continue with the present membership. 4) North Olmsted Municipal Bus Line has received five new buses from the Regional Transit Authority to replace three of the present buses and add half of one new line - the city will be splitting a line with RTA. General Manager Tober has agreed to have our three old, 1969 buses shipped to RTA for storage and then combined with their equipment which will go on sale in four to six weeks; proceeds from their sale will be credited to the. city's account. Relationship between North Olmsted and RTA has greatly improved, especially since the start of 1990, due to Mr. Tober and the people he has in his department. 5) Met with representatives from the Ohio Department of Transportation on April 13th with respect to city-wide signalization and State Route 252 -from Lorain Road to Butternut Ridge Road. Not much has happened with respect to the signali- zation; Mr. Gallito advised that there had been some problems with engineering and with some of the information being processed. Service Director Bohlmann has made the proper corrections and the latest information from Mr. Gallito is that the project has been extended; completion date is probably going to be 1992 or 1993.
