REPORTS Mayor Boyle: 1) It is important to note that the city is involved in helping and providing services to residents, especially through the efforts of the Human Resources Department. The Human Resources Department and the Building Department are currently involved in helping a family whose home has severe structural problems. Through the efforts of these city departments, the Cleveland Habitat for Humanities actually changed their board policy to include the development of projects in the suburbs. Also, the Human Resources Department made the family aware of the possibility of a $25,000 low-interest loan from the county and also found more potential assistance from the FAMICOS agency and the Office of Homeless Services. 2) Beginning this month and running through November, Cleveland Hopkins Airport will be working on phase two of its runway renovation. Although provisions have been made to fan out the air traffic and to decrease the intensity over any one area, residents will be experiencing more airplane noise. Complaints should be directed to the airport by calling 265-3772. 3) Homestead Exemptions on property taxes for senior citizens are offered through the Cuyahoga County Auditor. Applications, which must be completed by June 5, can be obtained through the North Olmsted Senior Center.
