Council Minutes of 11/21/2000 3) On November 15, a Legislative Committee meeting was held and present were committee members Kasler, Miller, Nashar; Council President Saringer and Council members O'Grady and Limpert. Agenda items were as follows: • Interview of Julianne Nader for an appointment to the Architectural Review Board for a term commencing January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2001. This is a new open position rather than a replacement of any kind, it has just been delayed in filling. Mrs. Nader is a 13 year resident of the city, and is the project manager of field operations for Acme Arsena with a Masters in Civil Engineering. She was an impressive, eager candidate for this commission, and the committee unanimously recommended approval of her appointment. Mrs. Kasler moved to approve the appointment of Julianne Nader to the ARB for the term of January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2001. The motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and passed unanimously. • Interview of Maryellen Davis, a 40 year resident of our city who lives on Butternut Ridge Road and is being considered for Landmarks Commission to complete the term of Clarence Miller who has resigned his position on that commission. This term begins immediately and ends December 31, 2000. The committee unanimously recommended approval of the appointment of Mrs. Davis and the continuation of her appointment to the commission beginning January 1, 2001 and ending December 31, 2002. Mrs. Kasler moved to approve the appointment of Maryellen Davis to the Landmarks Commission for the term ending December 31, 2000 and another term to begin January 1, 2001 and end December 31, 2002. The motion was seconded by Mr. Nashar and passed unanimously. • Review of Anthony Smeraldi, a present member of Landmarks who is serving a term which expires December 31, 2000. He wishes to continue his service on the commission. As has been done in the past, the committee approves re-appointments if members choose to retain their position. The committee recommended the approval of the re-appointment of Anthony Smeraldi. Mrs. Kasler moved to re-appoint Anthony Smeraldi to Landmarks Commission for the term January 1, 2001 until December 31, 2002. The motion was seconded by Mr. Gareau and passed unanimously. • Resolution 2000-156. This legislation was sponsored by Councilman Miller and reads, "A resolution urging the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections to discontinue the use of the butterfly-type ballot in all future elections in Cuyahoga County and to ~~ expedite consideration of electronic balloting. This was discussed in committee and should be noted that the resolution urged "consideration of electronic balloting," understanding that there may be problems with that but we are asking for consideration by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. By strong implication, this resolution recognizes the problems with the present system. One amendment will be made to add the definition of butterfly balloting to read, "a form of butterfly-type ballot wherein multiple candidate names are placed on facing pages." The committee unanimously recommended approval as amended and suspension of the rule. Mr. O'Grady, chairperson of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: 1) The committee met on November 14.
