He did not know why Mrs. Petrigac had not received adequate notification of the first meeting but did rite that she was able to attend. The second meeting was held during the day because some individuals could not make the first meeting, and Mrs. Petrigac's notification was simply a courtesy call to let her know the meeting was being held. The caller should have explained the purpose. The Mayor will see to it that proper notification is given. Mayor Boyle thanked Mrs. Petrigac for her support of the issue. Margaret McKay, 5197 Columbia Road, was concerned about the short notification and asked the Senior Center administrator about the problem. She replied that calls had been made, but the parties were not Dome at that time. It was an unfortunate incident and it was not meant as a slight to anyone. Mrs. McKay wanted residents to note that this is not a tax item but senior housing that will be provided for their families or themselves. Mayor Boyle stated that he did not want this to become apolitical issue and for that reason had formed a non- partisan committee. Ron Cansky Sr., 24048 Maple Ridge Road, was concerned about residents who put their rubbish out too early. IIe also is concerned about rubbish picking. Service Director Bohlmann stated that residents could not put their rubbish out until 6 p.m. the night before pickup. He is not aware of arty ordinance prohibiting rubbish picking. Mr. Cansky feels that the city departments e~ the Police should enforce the ordinance. Mayor Boyle replied that we do enforce our laws. Mrs. Sari:nger said the proper procedure- would be to notify the Building Department. A copy of the ordinance would then be sent out to the offenders. It has been her experience that this procedure works well. Mr. Carsky said a year and a half ago he gave Council over 20 pictures of rubbish on Claque Road, ark. said nothing had been done abe!ut it. Mr. Boel~er disagreed. and told Mr. Canaky that anything he had. turned in was taken care of because he checked on it personally. Mr. Boetsner suggested Mr. Cansky call City Hall and speak to the Building or Service Departments and his complaints will be handled. Paul Briggs, from the East Ohio Gas Ccxnpany, wanted to introduce himself to Council as the new municipal affairs representative replacing Bob Zufall. Mr. Joseph Stacey will continue to attend Council meetings and report to ham. After hearing the Finance Director's report that the city is checking utility rates, he has made a note to do another rate analysis for the city. This will be done free of charge. The Mayor and Mr. McKay agreed that East Ohio has often performed services at no charge for the city. Tom Donovan, 24956 Antler Drive, thanked the city for the good job that h~-d been done on the .streets in the Deerfield area. He is concerned that the hydra--brakes are not. being replaced as the sewers are being done. The Mayor said that not all were being replaced because some locations had been found to be improper. He said that, although the hydro-brakes had not been the cure for flooding, they obviously had some effect. The sewer renovation have alleviated the flooding problems.
