Council Minutes of 8/20/91 2) The Fourth of July celebration was a great success. 3) On July 5, the West Shore cities authorized the Voinovich Company to do a study of the proposed Webb jail. ~stlake later decided to withdraw from the study. The fee has been reduced, and the contract has been signed. This is not an architectural review; it is a study to determine the size of the jail. 4) On July 23, the Planning Co~missioaz heard a propQSal for the Master Plan from the County Planning Coaomisson. All proposals sut~tted to the Plarming Commission will be reviewed in the near future. 5) The Lorain County Solid Waste Management Policy Committee has passed a new tier structure which was effective July 3. Our bill for July was increased by $6,070.41. 6) Work on the Clague Road sanitary sewers will begin tomorrow. This will necessitate closing the road southboucxi from Westwood to Maple Ridge. Walter Road will be used as a detour. The work should take approximately two weeks. 7) Work on the western side of Kennedy Ridge will also begin tomorrow. The road will be closed to two-way traffic; however, northbound one way traffic will be maintained. 8) Country Club Boulevard is progressing well; last week the eastern side was opened. Work appears to be ahead of scY~dule due to the dry weather this summer. Hopefully, the project will be completedbefore Thanksgiving. 9) We made application for Issue II monies last week. Of the $24 million i.n Issue II money available to the County last year, North Olmsted received $4 million, which made us the fourth largest recipient. This year there is only $10 million available to the County. North Olmsted has applied for a total of $8,097,362. Projects applied. for and their approximate costs are as follows: citywide signalization, $2.3 million; sanitary sewers Phase C, $2.3 million; Silverdale, Selhurst and Duane area, $1.5 million; Park Ridge subdivision Phase II (which would include Forest Ridge and Sherwood), $806,000; Clifford Drive, $487,000; Stoneybrook, $402,000; aril the Barton Road water line, $20,000. There is no order of precedence; all have been applied for with equal weight. 10) Because of the generous gift of $8,800 from Halleen Chevrolet anc3. the Chevrolet GEO dealers, we purchased new playground equipment for the Barton- Bradley Park. 11) We have notified the County that we want to enter into renegotiations over the sewer contract. 12) On September 16 at 1 p.m., State Representative Ed Kasputis and 15 members of the Ohio House of Representatives will hold a meeting here in our Council Chambers to discuss health care. The representatives will take testimony from individuals, small business owners, Council M~nbers, arxi anyone who has had problems with health care or health care insurance. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) The Court of Appeals has reversed the lower court decision and ruled that we do have a right to charge a registration fee for private detectives who wish to operate in the City. However, this case may possibly be taken to the Ohio Supreme Court. 2) The Court of Common Pleas in Franklin County has issued a reversal in our favor with regard to the unemployment for school guards case. The court has ordered the Bureau of Employment Services to declare the school guard position to be a seasonal position which would not qualify these employees for nployment compensation. Both these cases are important in terms of principle with respect to the rights of the City. 2
