Council Minutes of 5/3/95 4) There has been no ruling on the city's motion for summary judgment in the Hughes II case, which is the case dealing with the destruction of public records. Mr. Nashar commented that he supported Mr. Gareau's attempt to obtain the interest due the city from Eliza Jennings. Mr. Gareau stated he felt it was the appropriate and fair thing to do and would probably mean about sixty to seventy thousand dollars for the city. Finance Director Burns: 1) Preparation of the note ordinances for this year's street program has been delayed; therefore, we will need to have two readings at special meetings in order to pass the legislation at the Heart Council meeting. This delay will not have an impact on the bid process for the street projects. Mr. McKay, Chairperson of the Streets & Drainage Committee: 1) The committee met on Apri124. In attendance were committee members Limpert, Nashar and McKay; Council Members Saringer, Musial, Lmd and Miller; Finance Director Burns; residents James Whitmore, Sharon Lepore and Don DeChant. The committee discussed ordinance 95-48, which authorizes the mayor to submit an application to the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency for the city to participate in a state-wide transportation enhancement program to provide mounding and landscaping along a portion of the proposed Crocker Road. The city has agreed to share in the cost ofthe project and future maintenance. This is a second request for funding by the city. The actual funding will occur in 1998 or 1999. The committee also discussed Ordinance 95-50 which is a companion ordinance to 95-48. Ordinance 95-50 stipulates that the city will prepare for the construction and the construction plans and specifications. The Ohio Department of Transportation will supervise the construction and the conformance with the final inspection. ODOT will contribute SO% of the construction costs and 100% of the construction supervision and the cost of the engineering. Upon completion, the city will maintain the right-of--way on the road. 2) A second meeting of the Streets & Drainage Committee was held on Monday, May 1. Present were committee members Limpert, Nashar and McKay; Council Members Lind, Miller and Musial; Service Director Bohlmann; reporter Jacqi Templeton; residents William Hayes, Kenneth Hayes and Tom Hampton. The committee discussed and reaffirmed approval of the streets that will be repaired this year, including the addition of Beech Lane. The legislation for the street projects will be passed this evening. Mrs. Saringer inquired whether the committee had discussed the culvert on Maple Ridge and Walter Road which is in need of repair. Mr. McKay and Mr. Lmd said the culvert between Ambour Drive and Maple Ridge had been discussed. After a lengthy discussion, it was apparent that there had been a mis-communication between Mrs. Saringer and Mr. Lind on the identity of the culvert. Service Director Bohlmann cleared up the issue by explaining that the Maple Ridge and Walter Road culvert was not on the capital improvements list because it is an in-house project. If funds are available, the Service Department will repair it this year. Mrs. Saringer reiterated that the culvert does need work, and it is causing a problem for the senior citizen who lives at the corner of Walter .{: ;,, Road and Maple Ridge. 2 .~,~.~.,~.-~~~.~.~~a. ~ ~ .~. ~... ..y,...~,,.,
