Council Minutes of 11/3/1999 _ Mrs. Kasler, chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) The Recreation Commission met on October 25. Present were all Council members, the Mayor and Safety Director and numerous guests who had questions regarding the policy for leagues and permanent starting time players at Springvale. The meeting was held to answers questions, and a bit of controversy, over some changed policies at the golf course. The meeting was quite productive. A follow-up meeting was scheduled between just the league presidents and the administration to rehash some of those issues and suggestions that were made by both Council and the audience. That meeting, which was held on November 1, did in fact resolve all the issues. She appreciates the input of those residents who attended the meeting as well as Council's help and the administration's cooperation in that follow-up meeting. Mr. O'Grady, chairperson of the Finance Committee 1) He commends the Mayor for bringing the Cleveland State Leadership Academy to the city. It is an outstanding program, and the city will benefit from it. 2) The committee met on October 25. Present were committee members O'Grady, Limpert and Kasler; Council members Gareau, Miller and Nashar; the directors of Service and Safety. The following items were discussed: • Ordinance 99-143 which authorizes the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Sandhu and Associates to provide engineering services for an approved heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system at North Olmsted Police Station. The $4,200 estimated cost of this engineering will come from the Service Department's General Fund account, Outside Services. The committee unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 99-143. • Ordinance 99-145 which amends, for the second time, Section 2 of Ordinance 98-32 so as to provide a year 2000 salary rate for the new part-time civil assistant in the Law Department. This position was created in 1999 as a temporary position replacing two law clerk positions that were in the Law Department. In light of the continued workload being generated by issues such as Parcel E and the sign ordinance, and in light of the success that this position has had over the past months, the Law Department is requesting continuance of this position with salary through the year 2000. The committee unanimously recommended approval of Ordinance 99- 145. Mr. Limpert, chairperson of the Intra-Governmental Relations and Legislation; Long- Range Planning Committee: 1) This evening a third and final public hearing was held regarding Ordinance 99-135 and Ordinance 99-136 in regards to the Community Development Block Grant.

Thanks to the committee members who were in attendance this evening and for the other meetings they have attended. Mr. Gareau, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) Within the past seven days, he has received a minor change format request for the former Payless gas station (owned by Speedway) which is located about two doors down from 3
