Council Minutes of 4/3/90 -4- Audience participation (cont'd): David Force, Clubside Drive, questioned the appropriation of $105,.000 for road repairs for an entire year. Mayor Boyle advised this amount is for miscellaneous road repairs; there is a certain amount set aside for spec if is projects; it is also $70,000 more than last year's appropriation for miscellaneous road repairs. Richard Slusser, 25475 Country Club Boulevard, stated that when repairs are made, the crews fill some holes and don't even bother with other holes; feels the patching should be done more thoroughly and the road smoothed out a little bit for the convenience of -.the residents. Councilman Nashar advised that patching does not really last long since the snow plows knock the patches right out. The administration is currently looking at a better material for patching which it feels will adhere better and not disintegrate so quickly. Dwight Arndt, Country Club Boulevard, commented that the city has grown commercially and due to the sprawl of Great Northern Mall and Shopping Center the streets are heavily used by North Olmsted residents as well as people coming from other communi= ties. As far as patching goes, feels a certain goint is reached where the amount of money. spent on patching could go a long way toward redoing the streets, which is what is really needed. Encourages the administration to beg, borrow or steal or do whatever needed to fix the streets properly. Roy Garland, 4576 Camellia, mentioned Porter Road, recently resurfaced, which needs immediate attention also. A number of manholes have started to sink very badly, as much as three or four inches, and are causing quite a bump.
