Council Minutes of 11/3/2004 Safety Director Jesse answered that, with the new paving, there has been some increase in ~- speeding as well as an increase in truck traffic. He has discussed the situation with t e Police Chief, and enforcement has been increased with more tickets being written. Obviously, there are some accidents. But we are responding to it, and it's just a matter of time before the people who are the chronic offenders as far as the trucks will understand that they can't go there. Also, he has made it quite clear that it is not an available route for the new Parcel E project. Councilman Miller requested that the Safety Director keep Council informed as to the tickets written on Clague Road for the truck traffic violation issue. ~- ~,,: Councilman Dailey expressed concern about the brown water situation and asked what could be done. Service Director Driscoll said the problem was due to a water break. When the Cleveland Water Dept. works on a water break, they do not notify the residents that they should be flushing the brown water through their system. The problem is usually cleared up within a day. LEGISLATION Resolution No. 2004-149 introduced by Mayor Musial was given its second reading.

Councilman Miller asked, because of the new information received tonight that the city has received the FEMA grant, would it not be appropriate to consider passing the legislation under suspension of the rule. President O'Grady inquired if there were any objections to considering the legislation under suspension of the rule. There were no objections. Councilman Miller made a motion to suspend the rule requiring three readings on Resolution 2004-149 and remarked that it had been discussed twice in committee meetings and the city has received approval of the grant. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay and passed unanimously. Councilman Miller moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKay and passed unanimously Resolution No. 2004-149 adopted.
