Council Minutes of 2/20/90 -3- Mrs. Saringer, Chairman Building, Zoning and Development Committee reported: 1) BZD Committee met on February 15th to discuss Ordinance No. 90-11, adoption of the National Electric Code, which basically sets the minimum standards as established by the State of Ohio. Committee has no objection to the ordinance, however, at some future date might see fit to make some of the standards more stringent. Mr. McKay, Chairman Environmental Control Committee reported: 1) West Shore Solid Waste Committee will meet tomorrow night, at 7:30 P.M., at Rocky River City Hall; anyone interested is invited to attend this meeting. Mr. O'Grady, Chairman Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee reported: 1) Safety Committee met on February 15th with all members present as well as Safety Director Gundy and Lt. Larry Mason. Committee discussed Ordinance No. 90-12, which prohibits right turns on red from Lorain Road onto Clague Road. Clague Road residents have long suffered through the problems of continual traffic and their inability to pull out of their driveway. This ordinance was discussed a couple of years ago but at that time the Police Department felt it would cause more problems than it would solve. At this time, however, Lt. Mason and the committee agree that it would be a good thing to do and recommend passage of Ordinance No. 90-12. 2) Mr. O'Grady moved council have no objection to the transfer of a D5 liquor permit from Timber Trails Party Center, Incorporated, 30850 Lorain Road to 30850 Lorain Road, Incorporated, second by Mr. McKay, unanimously approved. 3) Mr. O'Grady moved council have no objection to the issuance of an F2 liquor permit for the St. Brendan's St. Patrick's Day Committee, Brendan and Kenny Lanes, for an affair to be held on March 17, 1990, second by Mr. Nashar, unanimously approved. Mr. Tallon, Chairman Finance Committee reported: 1) Finance Committee met on Thursday, February 15, 1990 with all members present as well as Mayor Boyle and Directors Bohlmann, Burns and Wilamosky. Committee discussed Ordinance No. 90-1, advertising for bids for the sweeping of all city streets. Director Bohlmann advised he would be seeking bids for a three year contract using the same specifications as in the past. He will also request an alternate bid to include some extra sweepings of the major arteries such as Lorain Road and Brookpark Road. When the bids are received, the administration and council will have a chance to decide which bid - the regular bid or the alternate bid - will be the most acceptable and in the best interests of the city. 2) Committee discussed Ordinance No. 90-5, the organization and composition of the Fire Department, which was covered by Mr. O'Grady's Safety Department report at the last council meeting. Finance Committee concurs with the Safety Committee's recommendation for passage of this ordinance; it should offer a savings to the city by requiring less overtime. 3) Service Director Bohlmann discussed Ordinance No. 90-8, the sale of surplus personal property owned by the city and previously used by the Department of Public Service. Committee had some concerns about the sale of the leaf pickup equipment. When the next contract for leaf pickup is discussed, the city should not be in a position of having no choice for doing it in-house because of the lack of equipment and be forced to enter into a contract that is not in its best interests. Director Bohlmann advised he would present an amended ordin- ance, removing usable equipment and to include some other items from other departments which should be included. The ordinance, as amended, is on the agenda this evening.
