Council Minutes of 6/21/94 Mr. Gareau said that he had drafted the legislation to be all inch~srve of the various facets of this issue. It was his decision to include senior housing since it would have to be done at some future time. It just made sense to plan ahead and inchuie it while the legislation was first considered. In drafting the legislation, he very carefully drafted the provision dealing with permitting liquor in public areas so that Council would be able to make the decision. If Council feels any requsst is not appropriate, it can be denied.. Passage of this legislation will not permit alcoholic beverages at the Labor Day Parade. Permission must still be granted by Council. As Chairperson of the Safety Committee, Mr. Nashar stated he felt that adequate time had been given to the discussion of Ordinance 94-98. The meeting lasted for 40 minutes, and he asked if there were fiuther questions before adjourning the Wig. Mrs. Sarffiger said she concurred with Mr. Nashar, and she had left the meeting to attend a scheduled BZD meeting for which she was late. Mrs. Bahas stated she feh that one of the problems with this legislation was that, although Springvale and senior hou~g would be a gathering of adults, Homecoming and Labor Day are family gatherings. Traditionally, Homecoming has been a family-oriented situation and alcoholic beverages have not been a consideration. Mayor Boyle commented, if alcohol were to be sold at North Ohnst~l Park, it wou~ be in a rued area. This legislation will not provide carte blanche. Council will have the right to make a determination in each case. Mr. McKay felt that allowing liquor m the park would send mixed signals since we prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages within 500 feet of the park, churches and schools. Mr. Lord, Chairperson of the Finance Committee, reported: 1) The committee met on June 14 and in attendance were committee members Musial, McKay, Lind; Council Members Nashar, Limpert; City Engineer Deichmann; P & A Director Wilamosky. Agenda items were as follows: a. Resolution 94-93 which authorizes the Service Director to advertise for 3,000 tons of salt. By going to bid early in the year, the city will get a better price. The committee recommended approval. b. Ordinance 94-97 provides for an increase in sewer tap-in fees. These fees will be used for repairs and maintenance of the sewer system, including the southern interceptor which is being tapped into by Olmsted Township and is in need of repair. Olmsted Towgship's fees are higher because it does not pay real estate taxes in North Ohn~ed. The committee recommended approval. a Ordinance 94-44 which authorizes the city to abate its cause of action against Patricia J. Martin and Finance Director Burns for the illegal expenditure of fiords to Patricia J. Martin. This legislation had been held in committee for several months. The committee did not recommend passage of this legislation but did decide to vote to refer it to the Law Director to affect an amicable solution. 4 ~. ?E1tl414G}Mx~""~-". ice. .~Y,4r6.Ye W'- al~ei3
