Council Minutes of 11/19/2(102 Resolution No. 2002-182 was introduced and placed on first reading by Councilman Miller. A resolution recommending and encowaging the use of steel manufactured in the United States of America for the construction of the new North Olmsted Library, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Miller moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau and passed unanimously. Councilman Miller moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilwoman Kasler. Roll call: Miller, yes, commenting that he had brought this issue up when the library plans initially came up. He would like to recognize the fact that Mr. Dailey, while he wasn't on Council, did approach the podium at the same time and ask that this concept be considered. Roll call continued: Kasler, yes; Gareau, yes; Dailey, yes; Limpert, yes; McKay, yes, commenting that, at a time when steel is being imported from Argentina and South America and the tariffs are ignored and the amount of steel that is imported is being ignored, he thinks this is a good piece of legislation. Roll call continued: Nashar, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Resolution No. 2002-182 adopted. Ordinance No. 2002-183 was introduced and placed on first reading by Councilman Gareau on behalf of the Mayor. An ordinance amending Ordinance No. 98-I40, as previously amended by Ordinance No. 2000-29, so as to increase the program fee for participants in the city's Community Diversion program, in order to address an anticipated decrease in funding from the County for the city's program for the year 2003, and declaring an emergency. MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS Councilman McKay scheduled a Finance Committee meeting for 7 p.m. on Monday, November 25, to discuss Ordinances 2002-180, 2002-181, as well as the legislation for the Council-at-Large salaries. The Finance Director, Mayor, Law Director and Councilman Gareau are asked to attend. Councilwoman Kasler scheduled a Public Safety Committee meeting for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, December 3, to discuss Ordinance 2002-183. Chris Allegra is asked to be present for that discussion. Also, Ordinance 2002-171 will be discussed and Building Commissioner Conway is asked to attend or provide his input in writing with regard to this ordinance. Councilman Miller cancelled the Legislative Committee meeting for Wednesday, November 20. Ordinance 99-110 has been worked on for quite a while. There seems to be favorable sentiment towards the feeling; however, the construction of the ordinance has been a difficult process. He appreciates the efforts of the Law Department, Mrs. Copfer and Mr. Conway. He did discuss the issue briefly this evening with Mrs. Copfer, and it is not right for committee meeting at this time. _~. 27
