Council Minutes of 1/15/91 Mrs. Babas announced that the following ordinances would be added to the agenda: 91-8, 91-9, 91-10, 91-11, 91-12, 91-13, 91-14. Mayor Boyle reported: 1) CEI is in the process of repairing street lights within the City. Please contact Service Director Bohlmarm to report any non-functioning lights. 2) Avery successful Open House was held at the Rec Center this past Sunday. Approximately 1,500 people attended and participated in swinming, skating, tennis, and gymnastics. The newly renovated Rec Center is clean and bright; it is certainly a place where all residents, adults and children, will want to go and. recreate. 3) The State of Ohio has advised us that approximately $118,000 in unclaimed funds is owed to North Olmsted residents. We will be attempting to contact these residents to advise them about these funds. 4) The Animal Protective League has put us on notice that they will no longer receive stray cats. 5) Today the City of North Olmsted was awarded $3,860,100 in grants: $270,00 for the repair and reconstruction of Elm Road; $1,718,100 for continuation of the sanitary sewer rehab program; $1,872,000 for Country Club Boulevard. The County has awarded the City 90~ of the money to reconstruct Country Club Boulevard, which will also include Victoria Lane and a portion of Kennedy Ridgy: Road. Our lOX portion was already granted by Council last year when $200,000 was allotted to pay for the engineering. We anticipate getting the pracess moving very quickly; legislation is before Council this evening authorizing us to go out on bids. The Great Northern Boulevard project, which is now before the State, will likely be a 1992 project and not interfere with Country Club. We have had a good deal of help on this project--initially from Council for believing in us enough to hire the engineers and funding the $200,000 cost. We would also like to thank the following members of the District One Fublic Works Integrating Committee for all of their help: County Commissioner Mary Boyle, Julius Ci.accia, William Denihan, Mayor Walter Ehrnfelt of Strongsville, Mayor David Lynch of Euclid, County Engineer Tom Neff, and Carlton Schnell. Thanks also to State Representative Frank Mahnic for his endorsement of this project. The receipt of this Issue 2 money puts. to rest the question of assessing Country Club Boulevard residents. By receiving three grants, North Olmsted did very well in relation to other cities in the County. The Engineering Department, Service Director Bohlmann, and Personnel and Administrative Director Wilmmosky deserve thanks for all their efforts. Our Engineering Department did an in-house review of all engineering studies; Mr. Bohlmaim supplie<3 video tape ar~d other information; Mr. Wilamosky prepared in-depth applications which impressed the selection committee and was a major contributing factor to the receipt of these grants . Mrs. Babas, on behalf of Council, expressed thanks and appreciation to everyone involved in this effort. 2 M,~.,~.~~ : __
