Council Minutes of October 18, 1994 ~„~,,, Center Road and Driscoll Lane. He hopes to meet with the Law Director to explore some creative legal alternatives in order to put this traffic light in place. If this should occur, the sign change at Brookpark Road extension would not be necessary. Mr. Musial, Chairperson of the Transportation Committee, reported: 1) The committee met on October 12 in joint session with the Safety Committee. In attendance were committee members Saringer and Musial. The committee discussed Ordinance 94-143 which amends the traffic control file to provide for the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Rim's No. 2 drive and Great Northern Boulevard. The co~nittee received a favorable report on this legislation from Police Capt. Ruple and Safety Director Kasler. The installation costs will be paid by the Ricer Corporation, and the maintenance will be the city's responsibility. A traffic warrant has been approved. The committee had no objection and recommended approval. Mr. Limpert did not have a committee report but expressed several concerns regarding the audit. He is glad that the Finance Conamnittee has inquired as to the current status of the audit issue. He feels that work on the 1995 budget cannot proceed w~hout a current financial update. Mr. Liir~ert requested a Council asra-Whole meeting with the State Auditors to determine two major points: one, who or what is the legitimate cause of the problem; two, how severe is the prob~m at this time. Mrs. Bahas suggc~ed that Council would get a complete written report when the audit was complete and felt that having a meeting before the time would not be helpfiil. Mayor Boyle commented that the State Auditor's office will meet with the city. Also, the private auc~mg firm will meet with the community to present findings and comments on the audit. Council is more than welcome to attend these meetings. Before the audience participation section of the meeting, President Boehiner asked Service Director Bohlmann to come to the podium to introduce invited guests from the Cuyahoga County Board of Health. Mr. Bohhnaiiii introduced Mr. B. J. Meder, Mr. Chris Bosworth and Mr. Terry Allen from the Board of Health who were prepared to discuss a confirmed case and a probable case of LaCrosse Encephalitis that occurred in the Summerland Avenue area of North Olmsted. Mr. Meder, Director of the Environmental Division of the County Health Department, said that he and Mr. Bosworth had begun the county's mosquito control and vector control program 19 years ago. Mr. Allen has headed up the program for the last 4 years. Cuyahoga County is one of about 12 health districts in the State of Ohio that still operates a fiill-blown mosquito controUvector control program. He introduced Mr. Allen who was prepared to answer questions. Mr. Limpert asked what spraying took place in North Olmsted this summer. Mr. Allen said evening spraying had been done in North Olmsted over the past several years. He estimated about 1,500 acres had been sprayed, which is far higher than any other community in the county. They are very active in North Olmsted; indeed, more than half their services are conducted in this city. 5
