Motion passed unanimously. <br />President Boehmer made the following announcements: 1) Ordinance Nos. 97-101, <br />97-110 and Resolution No. 97-111 will be passed under suspension of the rule; 2) Two <br />Council-at-Large positions will become available on January 1, and applications will be <br />accepted in the Council office until December 31. <br />REPORTS <br />Mayor Boyle: 1) He has been asked to be the honorary principal of the high school on <br />Thursday as the schools celebrate National Education Week. <br />2) Yesterday North Olmsted won one of several community safety awards given by the <br />American Automobile Association. The awards were given to communities that have <br />gone at least a year without a pedestrian fatality. The head of the State Highway Patrol, <br />Colonel Ken Marshall, spoke at the ceremony. Colonel Marshall spoke about the I-480 <br />patrol issue. The federal grant used to fund the patrol of the highway has been depleted, <br />and the patrol is now being paid out of his normal budget which is funded from license and <br />gas taxes. There is a possibility the patrol of I-480 will be discontinued. The Constitution <br />of the State of Ohio requires the Highway Patrol to patrol rural areas, but the bulk of the <br />money from the license and gas taxes comes from highly populated counties such as <br />Cuyahoga and Summit. The Mayor suggested that Council consider passing a resolution <br />asking the State Highway Patrol and our State Representative and Senator to fund the <br />continued patrol of the highway in our county. <br />,~,,, <br /> <br />
