Council President Boehmer called the meeting to order at 8:02 p.m. in Council Chambers, 5200 Dover Center Road, North Olmsted, Ohio. Members of the audience were invited to join Council in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Minutes of the meeting of March 3, 1992 were approved as written. Minutes of the special meeting of March 5, 1992 were approved as written. President Boehmer announced that Ordinances 92-21, 92-24, 92-27 and 92-28 would be passed under suspension of the rules; Ordinance 92-5 would be tabled. Mayor Boyle reported: 1) If the school board decides to cutback on busing because of the levy failure, the city will be affected in several ways: a. Sidewalks--the lack of sidewalks in certain areas is a problem that cannot be handled quickly. This would involve a complete sidewalk program with assessments that could not be accomplished within one year. b. School guards--the exact number needed has not yet been determined. c. Snow removal--the Building Department is preparing to handle this problem. 2) We have asked the school board to add its approval to the application for an enterprise zone. The school board has asked their attorneys to review the Ohio Revised Code with regard to this proposal. Hopefully, we will have their approval by the next Council meeting. 3) The legislation passed by Council simply established the enterprise zone within the city. Airy applicant within that zone must enter into an agreement with the city. Then that agreement will go before the Council and the school board. If those two bodies approve, it proceeds to the County Commissioners. Only after approval by the Commissioners can the company begin to receive benefits from the enterprise zone. 4) The Board of Control met on March 10 to review bids on Park Ridge Phase II and Horizons. Park Ridge Phase II came in at $897,573, which was approximately $173,500 lower than the engineering estimate and $203,000 lower than the appropriated amount. The firm that did Phase I will also do Phase II. We saved money on this project by bidding early; the savings will be applied to the paramedic vehicle that Council has previously approved. The Horizon's pavilion on Butternut Ridge was accepted conditionally. We will hold a meeting on this project tomorrow to determine if the financial conditions have been met. This pavilion is being paid for out of Community Development Block Grant monies. The Board of Control will also be meeting soon to review bids on Louann, Angela and Nancy.
