Council Minutes of 02-02-10 declaring an emergency. The Ordinance contains Exhibit A which lists names of the non-bargaining unit official and employee positions which are eligible for health care benefits. It was originally two lists that made things a little more confusing to understand who was eligible for benefits. It removed some outdated positions like NOMBL positions and added some new positions such as part time Assistant Director of Law. Councilman Kearney made a motion to recommend approval for 2010-13. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Jones and the vote was 3-0 for recommendation of approval of 2010-13. The meeting adjourned at 8:29 p.m. Councilman Orlowski, Chairman of the Environmental Control Committee: The Environmental Control Committee met Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. Present were all committee members, all Council members, Mayor, Law Director, Safety Director, Planning Director, and guests. • Resolution 2010-07 is a Resolution authorizing and directing the Director of Planning to make application on behalf of the City of North Olmsted for an Ohio EPA Storm Water Improvement Fund grant to address storm water runoff issues at the North Olmsted City Hall parking lot; further authorizing the Mayor to accept the grant if awarded; and to execute a contract with the Ohio EPA, and declaring an emergency. The grant application is a maximum of $300,000 and would transform the current parking places at the City Hall Dover Center Road parking lot to permeable paving. The current concrete walkway would be transformed to a bio-retention planted area with a catch basin and storm water drainage piping. ADA and snow plow issues are addressed by the type of permeable pavement being recommended and the transition from the asphalt driveway to the permeable pavement. This is a good worthwhile project for the grant application. It is a high visibility place for residents and commercial property owners to gain exposure to a better alternative for parking areas and to help meet EPA storm water mandates. Councilman Barker made a motion to recommend approval. The motion was seconded by Councilman Brossard, and the committee voted 3-0 to recommend approval by all of Council. Suspension on the rule requiring three readings was requested and recommend as the application is time sensitive and no matching funds are required of the city. • Resolution 2010-14 is a Resolution authorizing and directing the Director of Public Safety to make application on behalf of the City of North Olmsted for an Ohio EPA Storm Water Improvement Fund grant to eliminate erosion within a storm channel along Windsor Drive; further authorizing the Mayor to accept the grant if awarded; and to execute a contract with the Ohio EPA, and declaring an emergency. The grant application is up to $300,000 and will be used to repair, rework and possibly re-channel the existing storm water channel on Windsor Drive which is experiencing a great deal of erosion. Hopefully, the planting or replanting of trees, bushes, and other ground cover will be part of the process to reduce erosion and slow the movement of the water. Councilman Brossard made a motion to recommend approval. The motion was seconded by Councilman 7
