Council Minutes of 3/20/2001 ,,~ President Saringer reported that City Council had discussed the upcoming school levy and will add their endorsement to the school operating levy which will be on the ballot on Tuesday, May 8. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, noted that a previous Charter Review Commission which he had chaired and the most recent commission had suggested a Charter change to make the city non-partisan. There are a number ofnon-partisan communities in the area, and he would like North Olmsted to be non-partisan. He does not believe partisanship belongs at this level of government. Mr. Lambert said change comes about by revolution or evolution. He noted that Mr. O'Grady and Mayor Musial had created something unique in the community and that Mr. O'Grady had decided to run as an independent. His comments are not meant as an endorsement as all the candidates have served the community well, but he agrees with the concept. He hopes that the greater picture is realized in the end, and that the community can move forward.
