There was discussion regarding the number of signatures that would be required of candidates. The legislation calls for 25 signatures for a ward petition and 100 signatures for acity-wide petition.

Ordinance 2001-90 amends the Traffic Control File of the City of North Olmsted by providing for the installation of signs to permit limited pazking on the west side of Country Club Boulevard for the first 800 feet south of Lorain Road. Councilman McKay explained the need for this change so as to allow pazking for parishioners of Saint Richazd's Church as they attend services on Saturday evening, Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon. A letter from Traffic Engineer Griffith was introduced at the meeting, and it supported Ordinance 2001-90 by stating that parking should continue to be restricted on both sides of Country Club Boulevard with the exceptions as listed in Ordinance 2001-90. Specifically, parking will now be permitted Saturdays from the bus stop sign located 100 feet south of Lorain Road to a point approximately 800 feet south of Lorain Road. Since there is no bus service on Sundays, pazking on that day will also be permitted in that first 100 feet, in addition to the remaining ?00 feet. Minor changes were made to the hours recommended in the original ordinance to fully accommodate the schedule of religious services at Saint Richard. The new hours are Saturday 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. only and Sunday 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. only. Reference to a two-hour limitation for each vehicle on those days was deleted from the sign because it was thought to be confusing and unnecessary. The committee unanimously recommended approval of ~. ~.,~, xa ~ . ,
