Council Minutes 1/18/2000 2) Mr. John Thomas, a North Olmsted resident, addressed the committee in regard to the ;,~ wireless telecommunication legislation.

As a follow up to Mr. McKay's comments, Mr. Gareau said that he had forwarded Mr. Thomas' suggestions to the city's expert consultant, Mr. Todd Hunt, who was involved in the drafting of the legislation.
