Council Minutes of 10/7/2003 or dwelling within the city to determine if such buildings are dangerous or unsafe. The discussion on this ordinance was quite lengthy, and the committee recommended approval. Councilman Limpert, chairperson of the Environmental Control Committee: 1) The Environmental Committee met on September 23 to discuss Ordinance 2003-133. This legislation provides for asole-source and direct purchase agreement with Walker Process Equipment. Present were committee members Limpert, Dailey and Kasler; Council members Miller, McKay, Gareau, Nashar; Service Director Driscoll, Assistant Waste Water Treatment Plant Manager Boehnlein, the plant's head mechanic Tim Wagner, and Assistant Law Director O'Malley. This ordinance authorizes the purchase a drive for one of the four primary settling tanks. These drives were expected to have a life of 15 to 20 years, but so far they are about 30 years old. New arms for the drive and surrounding equipment have already been built. The plan is to buy this drive and replace the entire works in one of the tanks. The old drive will be rebuilt and, along with new arms, will be used for tank two. The same procedure will be used for the remaining two tanks. The work is to be done in-house, which will save a considerable sum of money. This is somewhat similar to what was done several years ago on the microscreens. There is a four to six week lead time for this drive, and the request for suspension of the rule was made so that the drive can be received and replaced before cold weather sets in. The committee approved passage and suspension of the rules. Councilwoman Kasler, chairperson of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: 1) The Safety Committee met on September 23. Present were all members of Council, Assistant Law Director O'Malley, Human Resources Director Copeland and Building Commissioner Conway. The only business before the committee was a transfer of a liquor license from the Chuckie Cheese facility at Great Northern shopping center to the Soccer Sports Plex located on the west end of the city. The transfer was something that was briefly discussed because of the fact that it is a sports facility. However, it was understood by members of the committee that the owners of that facility were looking to entertain mini trade shows and other everrts at the complex, and that they had specific purpose for wanting this license. The Police Dept. has no objection, and the facility has always been an asset to the City of North Olmsted. There is a certain amount of trust in their judgment as to how they would exercise this new endeavor. The committee, after that discussion, made a unanimous recommendation to refrain from any objection to the liquor license transfer from Chuckie Cheese to the Soccer Sports Plex. Councilwoman Kasler moved that Council have no objection to the liquor license transfer from Chuckie Cheese to the Soccer Sports Plex. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller. Roll call: Kasler, yes; Miller, yes; Nashar, yes; McKay, yes; Limpert, yes; Dailey, yes; Gareau, abstain as his firm has a business relationship with the owner of the Soccer Sports Plex. He noted that he did not partake in the discussion or deliberation of the issue while in committee. The motion passed with six yeas and one abstention. Councilman Miller, chairperson of the Infra-Governmental Relations and Legislation; Long-Range Planning Committee: 1) The committee met on September 23. Present 9
