Council Minutes of 02-07-2012 fi= ~,:. "Refuse Collection" in order to implement new standards for refuse collection within the City of North Olmsted, and declaring an emergency. This Ordinance is mostly housekeeping clean-up of some of the antiquated language in Chapter 941, Refuse Collection of the Codified Ordinances. The Ordinance more accurately defines single &multi-family structures and adds wording to the commercial structures section. The legislation states the City will not provide waste pick-up for commercial and certain other structures. Section 941.04 (a) which governs the placement & collection of recyclables is modeled after the recyclable definition from Republic Waste. There was a discussion on section 941.01 (c) (1), on the vagueness of wording of this section. Councilwoman Williamson presented a change in wording to more clearly and succinctly define the section for Residential Structures. In line 1, the word all was eliminated, and in line 2 after the word located, the wording on dedicated streets was added. There was a discussion on other wording in the paragraph, the committee & members of Council decided to leave the remainder of the legislation as written. There was a discussion on dedicating existing streets and the Law Director did not believe this will ever be an issue. Several Council members asked about the situation with the Cinnamon Woods Development. The Law Director stated the new language in the Ordinance will not affect the situation with the Cinnamon Woods Condominiums. Their rubbish will continue to be picked-up by Republic Waste and paid for through City Income Tax funds. Even though there are no provisions in the code and no known reason why, under the current legislation, the City will still cover the rubbish pick-up costs for Cinnamon Woods Condominiums. This is a policy decision within the Administration. Mr. Barker made a motion to amend the legislation under section 941.01(c)(1) to remove the word all in line one, on line 2 to add after the word located on dedicated streets, and at the recommendation of the Law Director under section 941.02(a)(1) the number 62 is changed to 73 to accurately reflect the new section of the Zoning Code. The second by Orlowski, the vote was 3-0 by the committee to recommend the amendments to all of Council. Mr. Barker made a motion to recommend the legislation as amended to all of Council, second by Orlowski, the vote was 3-0 by the committee to recommend the legislation with amendments to all of Council. The meeting was adjourned at 7:48 p.m. Councilman Orlowski made a motion to amend Ordinance 2012-5 as previously stated in his report. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll Call: Orlowski, yes; Barker, yes; Kearney, yes; Mahoney, yes; Williamson, yes; Schumann, no; Brossard, yes. Ordinance 2012-5 amended 6-1. Mayor Kennedy said that he wanted to clarify that he did not say that the city would continue to pick up Cinnamon Woods. He probably did state that this legislation really has nothing to do with the other discussion at hand on the garbage service which is the pick-up of Cinnamon Woods on private streets. That is the only development the city currently picks up that's private streets. It's a different issue altogether. This is about cleaning up an Ordinance that should have been done 20 years ago and then re-done about a year ago. He said he did not state that they would garbage pick-up. 4
