Councilman Miller for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review; the motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert. Roll call: Miller, yes; Limpert, yes; Dailey, yes; Kasler, yes; Nashar, yes; Gareau, no; McKay, yes. The motion passed with six yeas and one nay. Resident Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, spoke on the ordinance as it was being passed under suspension of the rules. He asked how the geotechnical data would be used and whether it had anything to do with any of the systems that operate within the library. Mayor Musial said it was specifically to determine the terrain under the surface of the ground upon which the library is to be positioned. The site survey is covered by Ordinance 2002-61. Mr. Lambert said he felt the three pieces of legislation were bad because they basically authorize the Service Director to request a proposal for services. He can do that without an ordinance as long as it does not cost anything. Also, he feels there are two issues covered in the legislation as they authorize the Mayor to enter irrto an agreement without any knowledge of how much it is going to cost. He believes the city should get the proposals and then bring them to Council and Council should review the cost and then authorize the agreement. Doing it the proposed way is not a check and balance. Mrs. Kasler commented that she had raised those issues during caucus. Her vote on suspension of the rule is basically because of the substance and the necessity to move forward. However, her vote was also contingent upon her request that this process be reviewed in committee. Law Director Dubelko said he felt that this is clearly not a violation of the two-subject rule. Councilman Miller moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert. Roll call: Miller, yes; Limpert, yes; McKay, yes; Nashar, yes; Kasler, yes; Gareau, yes, noting that his comments with respect to Ordinance 2002-61 are also incorporated into this vote. Roll call continued: Dailey, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2002-62 adopted. Ordinance No. 2002-63 introduced by Mayor Musial was given its second reading. An ordinance authorizing the Director of Public Service to request proposals for thermal conductivity testing services for the new North Olmsted branch library; further, authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the firm selected in the RFP process, and declaring an emergency. Councilman McKay moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review; the motion was seconded by Councilman Nashar. Roll call: McKay, yes; Nashar, yes; Miller, yes; Limpert, yes; Dailey, yes; Gateau, no; Kasler, yes, with the same reservation stated for 2002-62 which will also apply to 2002-61. The motion passed with six yeas and one nay. Resident Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, spoke on the ordinance as it was being passed under suspension of the rules. He said he would wholeheartedly recommend that this go to committee and not be passed on emergency. This boring has nothing to do with the library; it has nothing to do with heating systems. He does not believe the city is required to give the library an elaborate system of bells and whistles--only duct work and a conventional heating and cooling system. He suggested the library get the information together and then the city can decide whether they want to go with it or not. Mayor Musial commented that the purpose of this particular ordinance is to put a hole in the ground 300 feet deep to ascertain what the thermal conductivity is of the soil.
