Council Minutes of 2/18/2003 to enter into an agreement for a feasibility study on this effort to connect to Avon Lake. That would, in fact, include then an investigation of all of those issues that remain. 4) Issues brought to the committee's attention by Mrs. Weir, school guard at Sweetbrier and Canterbury. One issue concerned the overhead signalization on Canterbury and Sweetbrier. The second issue was the curbing at that corner. Mr. Dubelko's efforts with the Safety Committee have been very helpful. He has done quite a bit of work on this issue, and he has made some recommendations to the Service and Safety Departments. She will follow that up with a formal request that those be addressed and brought back to the Safety Committee. Councilman Miller, chairperson of the Intra-Governmental Relations and Legislation; Long-Range Planning Committee: 1) On February 13, the committee met to discuss two ordinances.: Ordinance 2002-72, an ordinance creating new Section 111.03 of Chapter 111 of the Administrative Code in order to establish a standardized request for proposal (RFP) process for persons or firms proposing to provide personal services to the city and declaring an emergency as amended. This has been reported out in the past. The only issue that seemed to be unresolved was whether this would apply to bond counsel. It was agreed by the committee to recommend passage as this ordinance exists now and let the Law Dept. address the separate issue of bond counsel and how it would apply. In the past, bond counsel has been utilized on an as-needed basis and there was a question as to whether or not separate legislation would be needed. The Law Department will pursue that issue. The committee unanimously recommended approval. Ordinance 2003-17, an ordinance amending Section 167.02 of the Administrative Code entitled "Director" and creating new Section 177.02 of the Administrative Code entitled "Removal of Director" so as to provide that the Director of Personnel & Administrative Services and the Director of Planning, like all other directors appointed by the Mayor, may be removed only with the concurrence of two-thirds of the members of Council eligible to vote and declaring an emergency. The positions of Safety, Service and Human Resources Directors are created by Charter, and those, as they exist now, require the two thirds vote for removal from Council. This ordinance would simply require that the positions of Director of Personnel Director of Planning, which are created by ordinance, have the same provisions for removal, a two-thirds vote of Council. All members of the committee and the Mayor recommended approval. Councilman Dailey, chairperson of the Transportation Committee: 1) The Transportation Committee met on Tuesday, February 11, to discuss Ordinance 2003-22. In attendance were all committee members, all members of Council, the Mayor, the Law Director, the Director of Safety, the Director of Finance. There are questions before the Law Director and before the Personnel Director, and the legislation is being held in committee. 7
