Council Minutes of 2/20/01 Chris Scarl, 3998 Winton Park Drive, asked who or what determines which streets will be repaired each year. The Sandy Ridge development needs attention. President Saringer explained that the Service Director submits a list to Council and Council members generally tour the streets in the spring. Councilman Limpert agreed that Sandy Ridge was needy; however, the areas of Pine Ridge and Twin Woods are deteriorating even more rapidly. He hopes that Sandy Ridge and North Park Estates will be included in the next batch to be repaired. Jim Gocek, 7291 Lilac Court, noted that a number of residents from the Cinnamon Woods development were in attendance to express their concern about being included in the North Olmsted School District. Councilwoman Kasler noted that she has had discussions with Mr. Gocek and other residents and they understand that a petition must be presented to the school district. She hopes to reintroduce the resolution, which is currently on hold, which supports the residents in their efforts. Councilman Limpert suggested that the residents attend the next school board meeting which will be held on February 26. Councilman Dailey, a former school board member, said he believed the school board would welcome the neighborhood into the district. He said there was a state statute governing when school districts could be annexed and suggested that the school treasurer be contacted for more information. Mr. Gocek said that was true-the next opportunity for annexation would be in April of an even year. However, they are starting now so that they will be ready in time. He thanked Council members Nashar and Kasler for their help. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, said he was aware of two attempts on the part of Fairview Park to annex the Westgate area from the Rocky River Schools. The Fairview City Council did play a part in that, and he believes North Olmsted Council can play an active role in actually assisting in the door-to-door petitioning.
