Council Minutes 1/18/2000
<br />Mr. Gareau, chairperson of the Streets & Drainage Committee: 1) The committee met on
<br />"~ Tuesday, January 11. Present were committee members Gareau, Kasler and McKay;
<br />Council members Nashar, Miller, Limpert and O'Grady; Mayor Musial, Service Director
<br />Bohlmann and Finance Director Copfer. There were two items on the agenda
<br />• Resolution 2000-3, "A resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to
<br />advertise for bids for pavement markings of streets at various locations in the City of
<br />North Olmsted as detailed in the specifications on file and authorizing the Mayor to
<br />contract for the same, and declaring an emergency." Service Director Bohlmann
<br />advised that this is an annual ordinance that allows for re-marking the public streets
<br />for white and yellow lines which may have deteriorated over the course of the winter.
<br />It should be noted that the crosswalks and stop bars will be covered on primary and
<br />secondary streets. However, subdivision striping and lesser volume side streets are
<br />covered in-house as has been the past practice. The anticipated cost of the project
<br />will be $80,000. After discussion, the committee unanimously recommended
<br />approval.
<br />• Ordinance 2000-4 which reads, "A resolution authorizing the Director of Public
<br />Service to advertise for bids for construction of catch basin, manhole, sidewalk,
<br />curbing and pavement repairs at various locations in the City of North Olmsted as
<br />detailed in the specifications on file and authorizing the Mayor to contract for the
<br />same and declaring an emergency." Service Director Bohlmann advised that this is
<br />the usual $500,000 slab repair program that the city has been pursuing over the past
<br />several years. City Council is well aware of this program and has found it to be
<br />beneficial to the city as it puts in place a preventative maintenance program in order
<br />to reduce future costs of street repair which, if neglected over time, will be
<br />considerably greater than the cost of doing the slab repair itself. The streets for the
<br />year 2000 are as follows: Sparky Lane, Berkshire Drive, Brendan Lane, Edgepark
<br />Drive, Sanders Lane, Lusandra Circle, Forestwood Pazkway, Marcie Lane, Laurell
<br />Lane, Mary Kay Circle, Marquette Boulevard, Dogwood, Cottonwood, Benwood
<br />Circle, Newton Circle, Blossom Boulevard, Woodpark, Pine Circle, Linwood and
<br />Lisa Lane. It should be noted for those living on those particular streets, that the slab
<br />repair program each year continues until such time as the funding runs out or
<br />inclement weather sets in. There should be no expectation that any individual street
<br />will be completed this year. This is an objective the city has set forward, and we will
<br />continue to do streets until such time as the funding for the year 2000 runs out. After
<br />discussion, the committee unanimously recommended approval.
<br />Mr. Nashar, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) Public
<br />hearings will be held on Wednesday, January 19, at 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. for the
<br />legislation regarding wireless telecommunication towers, Ordinance No. 98-130 and
<br />Ordinance No. 98-131.
<br />Mr. McKay, chairperson of the Finance Committee: 1) The committee did not come to a
<br />decision with regard to Ohio HB 477 due to the fact that the bill was passed on January
<br />11, 2000. The bill will now go to the Ohio Senate, and the committee will be looking for
<br />information to determine further action.
