,. Council Minutes of 09-06-2011 make I'll be glad to clarify it. The point is the City Engineer ordered this stuff to be put down. It sure as hell going to run into the ditches and into our sewers. I lifted that right off of where they patched - by hand. It comes right up. It is going to create a nuisance and a mess. It will be a project beyond belief of cleaning it out of the sewers by the time the winter is over. There is barely any oil on your hands after touching it. It's reclaimed asphalt they padded in place to make it look good. If they paid extra for that to go down, the city will pay in the spring to clean it back up. Lambert said he cannot believe anybody would have given an order to put that stuff down or to pay for it. He wants the Council as the keeper of the funds to be aware of it. Councilman Orlowski said he was on Gessner and he looked at where they were laying this down. Part of the object of this is to create a burm on the road. He suggested to the Administration to talk to some of the employees in the streets dept. and Service Dept. to ask them about this type of system. It's very soft, will not hold anything in place and will end up in the swales and will clog up the drainage. Mayor Kennedy said he appreciates that and he will look into it. He told Lambert he doesn't want him to bore in the street. Please call instead of picking up stuff. He will check with the Engineer. Lambert said if he can lift his street up by hand he is going to bring it up to him and set it on his desk because no street should be able to be lifted up by hand. Mayor Kennedy said he does not know if this project is done yet. Councilman Orlowski said on Martin Drive they went back and put a burm on that road. There are other places where this was done previously. Lambert said the fact is there is a white line that has been put down and the final tar has been put on, so it doesn't make any sense to re-pave it. Jeff Peepers, 6389 McKenzie Rd. said the Homecoming was a great success and they had great weather. The Thursday night car show was very successful and drew a great crowd. Friday night went well and the City's tent had a great turnout there. There was great weather for the parade on Sunday. Peepers thanked City Council and the Mayor for their support. He also acknowledged and thanked the Mayor's staff, Safety Dept., the police including auxiliaries, the Recreation Dept., Dave Greenspan and his crew (softball tournament), and the Service Dept. They probably grossed the highest amount -near $40,000 - in ride revenue this year. Mayor Kennedy thanked Jeff Peepers and all of the Community Council for their hard work and dedication. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2011-65 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its third reading. An Ordinance amending Section 1139.01 of the North Olmsted Zoning Code entitled "General Retail Business District" to permit religious uses, including churches and related buildings, as amended. Councilman Mahoney moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker and passed unanimously. Ordinance 2011-65 adopted. Resolution 2011-88 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its second reading. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with CVS Pharmacy, Inc. for the administration of influenza vaccinations at the North Olmsted Senior Center. 5
