Council Minutes of 04-20-2010 are privately owned condos and who hired the contractor. Fisher said the association repaired his balcony four times but it was a "band-aid" job. They hired an architect who came up with a plan that used all stainless steel fasteners, hangers, screws and tropical wood. Three weeks after the board approved it, it was rescinded by a new board that said they could fix the balconies cheaper. They solicited money from three owners to hire an engineer to give an estimate. The first estimate was triple the cost. Councilman Kearney asked if the people on the board are condo owners. Fisher said yes. Councilman Kearney asked if the board members still favor the contractor doing this work. Fisher said it's a long story. Mayor Kennedy said he would address this first thing in the morning. Fisher presented Kennedy with photographs of the wood. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2010-10 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its third reading. An Ordinance creating new Chapter 1155 (Solar Energy Systems) of the North Olmsted Zoning Code in order to permit and establish regulations for the use of Solar Energy Systems in the City of North Olmsted, as amended. Councilwoman Jones moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll Call: Jones, yes; Barker, yes; Brossard, yes; Orlowski, yes with comment. Considering the smaller number of residents in attendance at the Planning Commission meetings and Council BZD Committee meetings, it appears that the passive nature of solar energy is much more acceptable to the residents than the idea of a WECS on a building or a parcel in the city.
