Council Minutes of 11/20/2001 and canvassers. The must pay an application fee, $5 a day for their solicitation as well as a $10 fee to get an idemification badge which they are required to wear. He will call Mazco's Pizza and remind them that they have to register. • In the past, the stop lights were in the middle of the street hung with wires. Now they have been moved back, and it's difficult to read the very small print at the bottom of the signs. Can anything be done to enlarge the print? Service Director Bohlmann said the print can be enlarged, but it must follow a specific method. He will personally check the intersections to determine if changes can be made. Councilman Miller asked that the "No Right Turn on Red" sign at Dover Center and Brookpazk extension be checked out also. Councilman Limpert noted that he has had comments about the signs, especially on Porter Road, that cannot be seen at night. Since the STOP program is very active at night, motorists may be legitimate when they say "what sign?". Service Director Bohlmann said he would look into the matter. Councilman Miller asked Safety Director Jenkins to look into how many STOP tickets were written at night at the Dover Center and Brookpazk extension intersection. President Saringer suggested that the administration look into the possibility of putting lights on Brookpazk Road which is also very dark. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, said the lights on Brookpazk Road would probably be funded through the State.

Neither Marty Young, Springvale facility manager, or Brian Gorris, who helped write the business plan, were able to attend. However, he did attend and gave an overview of the improvements to the fairway and the tee complexes, the theory behind the design of the hales, the descriptions and locations of ponds, transfer pumps and irrigation mechanisms. Those were the items he believed were to be reviewed. Following a couple of questions and comments from various people about the improvements, Mr. Miller asked about whether there were problems with the installation of drainage. He explained that facility manager Marty Young had hired a company to plow in the drainage pipe. The city engineering inspectors did not agree with installing drainage that way. The Service Director called a halt to the job. Mr. Bohlmann convened a meeting with Mr. Jenkins, City Engineer Deichmann and Assistant Engineer Griffith. After some discussion about methods of drainage and a call to Marty Young, they decided to look further into the method in which drainage is installed and called Cleveland Metropazks and Sweetbrier golf course because they have recently undergone some major improvements. It was a consensus of the four professionals assembled that the method of trenching and installing pea gravel along with the drainage pipe was the method that would be used. This issue is a matter of professional difference of opinion. It was discussed, a decision was made and adjustments made to satisfy the professionals whose 6
