Council Minutes of 10/21/97 ~~, berm repair. The historical price ranged from $5.85 a ton to $7.50 per ton. The ,a~, committee recommended approval. c. Resolution 97-85, which authorizes the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for pulva-mixing on various streets throughout the city. This is a grinding off of excess asphalt to make the streets smooth, with the possibility of some of the joint repairs in the concrete cracks. Fleharty is one of the streets that is targeted for grinding for next year. The committee recommended approval. d. Resolution 97-86, a resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for cracksealing. This is amuch-needed continuing program to save the streets so they do not start to deteriorate from underneath. The committee recommended approval. e. Resolution 97-87, a resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for partial depth concrete joint repair. This is another project which needs to be done on a continual basis. As the joints in the concrete streets begin to separate and crack, they are cut out down to a depth of about 3 inches and filled with an asphalt patch repair. The committee recommended approval. f. Resolution 97-88, which authorizes the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for diesel fuel and gasoline products. This bidding is done every two years and is publicized in the paper. All fuel is provided for police, fire, Springvale and all city vehicles. We also provide the fuel for school buses and the school system reimburses the city. The committee recommended approval. g. Resolution 97-92, which directs the Auditor of Cuyahoga County to pay to the City of North Olmsted during 1998 all money due and owing. The committee recommended approval. h. Ordinance 97-91, which authorizes the Mayor to enter into contracts for the deposit of public monies with the institutions designated by Council as depositories for the active and interim account of the city.

If it was about having a home store there, we would already have the M. K. Ferguson Company there because that is why it was rezoned to Office use. He and Mr. McKay felt that the planning of the balance of land in our city and the revenues that can be received from the various enterprises that come into our city make it very important that Issue 41 be defeated. This does not mean that we cannot have a home store in the city. We are now getting into a phase were retail property is being recycled.

Mr. McKay commented in regard to recycling of retail areas that Home Place was a good example of just such a situation. There is ample room for a home store such as Home Depot by recycling some of the vacant storefronts in the strip mall which is owned by 3
