Councilman .Miller made a motion that Council not object to the transfer of the liquor license from safekeeping for A & C Likakis, Inc. to Ari's Family Restaurant. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Kasler and passed unanimously. ^ Hanna Panini's Bar & Grill located on Lorain Road near Canterbury Road. Every year, Council is given an opportunity to respond to the Liquor Control Commission as to whether or not there are objections to renewing liquor licenses for any establishment in the city. Mr. Gareau explained that he had on numerous occasions tried to contact the management at Hanna Panini's Grill to no avail. They were basically unresponsive in regards to what might be described as being a good business neighbor to the resident behind the Panini's parking lot. Discussion was held in regards to various problems including damage to the neighbor's fence, debris coming over the fence, late night noises and similar such problems. In attendance from Panini's was Scott Hanna, one of the two brothers who own the facility. He explained that they had received calls from the neighbor, and they were asked not to take out the trash at night. They complied and began taking it out at 10 or 10:30 a.m. Then the neighbor complained that they were taking it out so early in the morning. They indicate that they have gone over the fence on numerous occasions to pick up debris that is not only theirs but also from other establishments in the area. On two occasions, their employees were bitten by the neighbor's dog. The committee agreed to have Mr. Gareau, the owners and the resident meet to discuss how the problems can be addressed and what the city can do to facilitate a resolution to these issues. Safety Director Jesse volunteered the services of the Police Department as needed. Mayor Musial arrived at 8:32 p.m. Councilman Miller, chairperson of the Intra-Governmental Relations and Legislation; Long-Range Planning Committee: 1) On Tuesday, August 26, the committee met to discuss Ordinance 2003-120, an ordinance amending Section 109.02, 109.03, 109.04, 109.06, and 109.07 of Chapter 109 of the Administrative Code entitled "Public Meetings" in order to provide better notice to the public of the meetings of the City Council, its committees, and the various boards and commissions of the city as amended. The ordinance was further discussed at a committee meeting held this evening at 7:15 p.m. As described by the Law Director, this is an effort to clean up some old language and bring it into the new century as to notification for the various meetings. It also defines more clearly within City Hall who is responsible for placing notices of special meetings or committee and Council meetings. The ordinance will basically change the requirement of publishing in local newspapers for special meetings and instead put the information on the city website and cable channel. Issues discussed included whether or not more or less people would be notified as opposed to the former method which was a bit archaic, the long-term requirements of the local papers, and the cost involved. Discussion was also held about possibly posting on the sign board that is at the corner of Dover and Lorain roads in front of the Police Station. It was felt that perhaps that would be done as a trial although the requirement is not part of this ordinance. This was an . effort and continues to be an effort to get better notification out to our residents of these 4
