Council Minutes 3/6/2001 struggled. The committee will, without sufficient rationale from the Mayor, continue to examine and discuss this issue further. 2) A committee meeting was held on Tuesday, March 6. Present were committee members Kesler, Nashar and Miller; Council members Saringer, Limpert, O'Grady and Dailey. The committee interviewed Axel Hoyer for a position on the Recreation Commission as recommended by the Mayor. Mr. Hoyer is a 13-year resident of North Olmsted and has four children. He is an accountant and the manger of his own financial and tax services company. In relation to the Recreation Commission, he is a former president, vice-president, team sponsor and coach of North Olmsted Hot Stove League. He has also coached recreation football and basketball. It was the committee's sense that he was interested in expanding and sharing his knowledge of recreation with the commission for the improvement of North Olmsted recreation overall. The committee unanimously recommended approval of Mr. Hoyer to the Recreation Commission. Mrs. Kesler made a motion to approve the appointment of Axel Hoyer to the Recreation Commission. The motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and unanimously approved. Councilman O'Grady, chairperson of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: 1) The committee met on Tuesday, March 6. Present were committee members O'Grady, Kesler and Limpert; Council members Nashar, Dailey, Miller and Saringer; Safety Director Jenkins. Agenda items were as follows: • A liquor license for Steak & Ale of Ohio Inc., DBA Benningan's at 4824 Great Northern Blvd. Benningan's will be built in the northeastern corner of the Great Northern Mall. The liquor license type is a DSB, which calls for spirituous liquor for on-premises consumption only, beer and wine for on-premise and off-premises in original sealed containers until 2:30 a.m. and enclosed within a shopping mall. There was no objection to this liquor license from the North Olmsted Police Department, and the committee unanimously recommended approval. Mr. O'Grady moved that Council approve the liquor license for Bennigan's at 4824 Great Northern Blvd. The motion was seconded by Mr. Limpert and unanimously passed. • Ordinance 2001-40, which will be introduced today by Mayor Musial, Council member O'Grady and Council member Limpert.

This is a follow-on ordinance to an action taken by the Safety Committee late last year in response to an issue raised by the principal of Pine Elementary School. The issue was that, as the school children were trying to leave the area, parents were parking bumper to bumper on either side of the street. The result was that children who were crossing the street were crossing between parked cars. Council took action to place `~To Parking" signs on the north side of the street.
