Council Minutes of 09-04-12 ,,,; banners to be displayed on Lorain Road, specifically on nine poles between David '~, Drive and Clague Road. There was discussion as to what the content of the banners should be. The Planning/Development Director thought the initial designs contained too much advertising versus school spirit. There were some additional questions that need to be answered (how much it would cost the city, the duration of the display which would be April through October) as well as awaiting written confirmation from CEI to hang the banners. The Law Director suggested that City Council let the content of the banners be discussed between the school and the Planning Dept. The committee voted 3-0 to hold Resolution 2012-71 in committee. Councilman Brossard made a motion to release Resolution 2012-71 from committee. The motion was seconded by Councilman Orlowski and passed unanimously. Resolution 2012-71 released from the Streets & Transportation Committee. Councilman Schumann, Chairman of the Environmental Control Committee: The Environmental Control Committee met Tuesday, August 28, 2012 at 8:15 p.m. Present were committee members Schumann, Barker and Brossard; Council Presidnet Limpert; Council members Kearney, Mahoney, Orlowski and Williamson; and City Engineer Pete DiFranco, a representative from Hazen & Sawyer and guests. • This meeting was scheduled to continue discussions started on August 14, 2012 with regard to the additional estimated costs of WWTP Improvements which the city will be financing through the Ohio EPA to perform EPA-mandated work to the sanitary system and sewer plant. An updated summary of costs prepared by Mr. DiFranco was distributed to the committee members. The Engineer was questioned at length as to why the estimates had come in low to start. They replied that they were dealing with a shorter time frame than normal to come up with the original estimates in order to meet EPA deadlines. This was important to avoid fines by the EPA. Council was assured that the Engineer and Hazen and Sawyer would look for creative ideas to save on future construction costs and the project continues. Some of these costs also represent additional work to the system not in the original plan. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Jeff Sturgeon, 3092 W. 231St Street asked if somebody would look at Bailey Road since they have re-paved it. There are some areas where there is about a foot or more drop off between the road and the yard. There are no sidewalks on that street, and about five people have been hurt because of that. Plus there is no shoulder, so people may damage their cars in the winter. He also mentioned that the striping done on Fleharty was not done well. Mayor Kennedy said he and Safety/Service Director Thomas will look at these streets in the morning and contact him afterwards. Terry Groden, 25211 Chase Drive said it was interesting to hear about the proposed renovations to the Burger King drive-through. He also suggested that Wendy's drive- 5
