Council Minutes of 5/16/2000 is perhaps we are not getting to those families who are most at risk--families that have small children in the home where the parent or guardian chooses to have a firearm in the home. The North Olmsted Gun Lock Program as it's envisioned would procure for the resident a gun lock at cost. And then a member of the Community Policing detail of the North Olmsted Police Department would go out to the residence and show them how to use the gun lock, put it in place and given them a class on gun safety. Mr. Limpert, chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: 1) On May 8, in a joint meeting of Recreation and Finance, Ordinances 2000-40 and 2000- 41 were discussed.

W & Z Properties has granted to the City of North Olmsted an easement for a sanitary sewer pump and a force main on the property adjacent to the west end of Al Moen Drive.

He would like to thank the Westlife newspaper for contributing one-year subscriptions; Geppetto's of North Olmsted, Ganley Pontiac & Honda and Giant Eagle for contributing $10 gift certificates from Giant Eagle; Great Northern Dodge for contributing $29 oil change certificates. These items will be included in the packet presented to each resident who turns in any type of gun, rifle or ammunition to the North Olmsted Police. The hours will be from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. on both Saturdays. Mr. Miller added that, if a resident has a gun they feel they are not adequately able to handle safely, they can call the Police Department to their home and the police will remove the gun. 5
