Council Minutes of 12/19/00 Mr. Nashar moved that Council approve Babies `R' Us and the free standing building on Lorain Road, subject to all the recommendations and requirements of the boards, commissions and committees. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau and passed unanimously. • Developers. Diversified, a new building proposed to be built by Tony Roma's. (P.P. No. 235-27-99) The proposal is to construct a new 5,400 square foot building with parking and landscaping. Representing Developers Diversified was Gary Hough. The new addition will have a dark red brick on the bottom portion, a buff masonry on the top. This will match the surrounding buildings of Chuckie Cheese and Tony Roma's. There will be 130 additional parking spaces to be provided. Landscaping will be required on the north side of the building, plus 3 additional trees that the City Forester recommended which are Norway Maples to be planted adjacent to the Brookpark Road side. This will replace dying or dead trees and add more landscaping. The BZD committee recommended approval. Mr. Nashar made a motion that Council approve Developers Diversified at Great Northern Mall P. P. No. 235-27-99 subject to all the recommendations and requirements of all the boards and commissions and committee. The motion was seconded by Mr. O'Grady. Mr. Gareau asked whether the trees that were to be planted to the north side of the structure toward Brookpark were Maples or Oaks. Mr. Nashar said he had checked with the City Forester on that and it was Maples. Mr. O'Grady noted that was to be consistent with the city plan for that side of the street. Mr. Nashar said that was correct. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. McKay, chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The committee met on Monday, December 18.

The committee discussed the Clerk of Council's wages in comparison to the surrounding communities. The surrounding communities have a higher scale.

The word "salary" was inserted before the phrase "established through separate ordinance" to better define the elected officials salaries.
