Council Minutes of 1/21/2003 into Canterbury Road providing no protection for the children waiting to cross or to Mrs. Weir should a car jump the curb or slide in that area. It was requested that the Safety Director immediately address this issue with Mrs. Weir and the Engineering Department to determine if an engineering change is necessary on this corner for the safety of the children in that area. It was requested that the Safety Director report back to the Safety Committee on this issue. 3) A Public Safety Committee was held on January 21 with regard to a transfer of a liquor permit from the former Tony Roma's at Great Northern Mall to the new Daishin Japanese Steakhouse at the same location. It is a transfer of a DS and D6 permit, which is to se111iquor on premises and a Sunday permit. This permit was approved by the Police Dept. and there is no objection on their part. Councilwoman Kasler moved that Council have no objection to the transfer of the liquor permit from the old Tony Roma's to Daishin Japanese Steakhouse. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller and passed unanimously. 4) The Safety Director was asked to come forward to give a status report of the target enforcement signs on Canterbury Road. Safety Director Jesse said he had met with Chief Ruple and the Service Department sign person about the signs. It was determined that the target enforcement signs would not be the exact sign for that location, but there would be signs that would be installed that said, "Speed Zone Ahead." It was his understanding in the meeting that the signs would be put in as soon as possible. However, there are some enforceability issues as well as questions related to the target enforcement zone signs. The target enforcement zones are for temporary use only for a period of 30 or 60 days, very much related to radar enforcement, and/or in the case of right turn only, surveillance enforcement. Therefore, it was felt that the "Speed Zone Ahead" would have a more permanent approach and more warning to the motorists. It was suggested to Mr. Jesse that the signs be placed as soon as possible for safety reasons until the speed limit issue is resolved. Mr. Jesse noted that there would also be increased enforcement. Councilman Miller, chairperson of the Infra-Governmental Relations and Legislation; Long-Range Planning Committee: 1) Thank you to all city workers for their work during this cold weather. 2) The committee met an January 13. In attendance were committee members Kasler and Miller. The following items were discussed: ^ Resolution 2003-3, which authorizes the Mayor of the City of North Olmsted to execute an amended agreement with the Westshore Council of Governments municipal corporations in order to extend to all Westshore Enforcement (WEB) special agents the same authority previously granted to the WEB special agent-in- charge and declaring an emergency. Ultimately, this gives all WEB agents full police powers: arrest, carrying fuearms, etc. as the special agent-in-charge currently has. The committee recommended approval and passage under suspension of the rules this evening. ^ Ordinance 2003-4, a resolution authorizing membership in the Suburban Water Regional Council of Governments formed pursuant to Chapter 167 of the ORC to 9
