Council Minutes of 7/5/94 and consumed in the park for this celebration. One of the issues beffig discussed regarding this legislation was that the Labor Day celebration would be a good tel. It seemed to be an acceptable idea. ffNorth Olmsted were to renege on their comet at this point, it would probably m the cancellation of Labor Day festivi~es for Cuyahoga County. As a compromise solution, the Mayor suggested that the le~gialation be art~ndexl beginning at the bottom of page one with the words, "....building, public park or playground." He sugge~e+tl that it be c~aagecl to read, "....builc~g, and sons-time basis in North Olmsted Municipal Park ffi c~jimction with Labor Day cele~ats to be held on September 3, 1994, sponsored. by the Ckweland Federation of Labor AFL-CIO. The Council of the City of North Olm~ed ratty permit the sale and consumpt~ of alcoholic beverages in municipal buildidgs and on said one occasion provided that:". The r er of the wording would be the same. In addition to this amendment, reslxisrtions have been drawn up that will limit the area for sale and consumption of alcoho~c beverages. The designated area will not include the playground and will have set-backs from the roads and parking areas. In response to a question by Mrs. Babas, the Mayor that the word "celebrations" should be saugular. Althou~ Council will have the a rity to institute other restrictions, the Mayor notes that restrictions would inchtde the ticrn that food will be served at all times that beer is being served, beer wig be served in a conta~er identifiable as containrag beer, ao minors wdl be allowed ~ the designated area, and no one drinking beer will be allowed out of the area. Mrs. Babas asked Law Director Gateau whether this one-time case would set a precedent. Mr. Gateau answered that Council would have the authority to great another request if they chose to do so. However, they would not have to do so. Mayor Boyle commented that, if that is a concern and since the Charter is the prevailing law in the city, he would have no problem with the issue leg presented to the Charter Review Commission. If the Commission chose to present this issue for a vote of the gear public for inclusion in the Charter and h was passed, then the possibility of it happe~g again would be eliminated. Once it is in the Charter, no Council can change it. Law Director Gateau reported: 1) With regard to the case of Fox vs. the City of North Olmsted, a motion for summary judgment was filed. Notification was received today that the plaintiff has vohmtarily dismissed the case. 2) The final draft of the Elia~a Jeeen~gs brief should be filed whhm the next two weeks. 3) A civil rights lawsuit has been file~cl against the city dealing with a police officer who claims his civil rights were violated because of an inspection that took place prior to his being made a permanent Civil Service employee. 4) As the Mayor indicated, a meeting was held with the attorneys representing the owners of Springvale. It will now be possible to fill in the blanks of the contract with regard to the attached exhibits. This should be accomplished before the final reading and passage of the legislation. The clog will probably take place at the end of the year. Finance Director Burns reported: 1) Ordinance 94-107 has been added to the agenda tonight.
