AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Marie Peepers, 6389 McKenzie Road said on behalf of the North Olmsted Community Council, she wanted to report that Homecoming 2013 was a great success for the community and was very well attended. The rides companies had their largest sales ever since coming to the event. They made $49,706 which gives Community Council $16,760. $6000 will be used for their scholarship program, and the balance will go into further projects for the park and community. With the assistance of Betsy Drenski and Chris Wetmore of the Recreation Center, Community Council completed the following projects: anew water line installed for the picnic pavilion and a water fountain and faucet for the rec dept. to use when they power wash the pavilion. Road Foreman Dave Demaline was a great help with his assistance in several projects and pointing out needs of the park. New tables were purchased and there were various electrical improvements. She thanked the Recreation and Service Depts. for the setup and take down of the Midway, the Recreation Dept. clean up crew for keeping the Midway and park clean, the Police Dept. and auxiliaries for keeping the Midway secure and handling the parade, the Mayor and City Council for their continued support of the event, Renee Overstreet and Molly Kelly for their assistance with the paperwork and Coletta Strippy for her quick responses to questions. Thomas O'Grady, 6328 Hastings Drive congratulated Peepers and the Community Council. He congratulated and thanked the men and women of labor in honor of Labor Day and the Project Labor Agreements the city created. He mentioned that Mayor Kennedy held a press conference in Spring regarding the Mayor's Court, and told the people of North Olmsted that Mayor's Court has made a profit. O'Grady said that Mayor Kennedy is inaccurate. The amount of money made in the Mayor's Court compared to the revenue generated by the Rocky River Municipal Court and sent to the city of North Olmsted the first 3 months and 6 months shows that this is inadequate. Mayor Kennedy said he read O'Grady's statement online regarding fines and that salaries were added in but he forgot to add in the court costs that North Olmsted collects; the measure of how successful a Mayor's court is. Rocky River took 100% of this, and now North Olmsted is ' receiving the court costs and that's the measure of profit.
