Council Minutes of 4/6/2004 • Ordinance 2004-52, an ordinance amending Section 111.01 of the Administrative .`~ Code of the City of North Olmsted entitled "City Contracts" in order to provide for a program whereby interested community or charity groups can staff concession trailers at the city parks and declaring an emergency. This ordinance was introduced by Councilman Gareau. For the second year in a row, the city has been unable to fulfill the vacancy of concessionaire for the North Olmsted park facilities. Three times the city has bid out this job, and no interested parties have yet to come forward. Discussion centered around the need for permits and how this would be regulated and what, if any, would be required from the county. Mr. Gareau advised that it would be pre-packaged food and beverages that would be sold. He also advised that the groups would come from the community so as to provide them additional ways for fundraising similar to how concessions are currently sold at both Jacob's Field and Gund Arena. For this year, it will be tested by groups such as NOSO and Hot Stove and hopefully expanded to others in the future. The committee unanimously approved the legislation. • Ordinance 2004-56, an ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into contract with Harrington Electric Company for the purchase and installation of seven electrical panels at the Recreation Center and declaring an emergency. Safety Director Jesse advised that the panels in question need to be replaced because they have outlived their life cycle. Replacement parts are no longer available. Mr. Miller asked if this will help alleviate some of the buzzing noises coming from the light fixtures in the tennis court area. Mr. Jesse advised it will help. Mr. Miller also asked if Harrington Electric was a union company. Upon further discussion, Mr. Miller has found that it is indeed a union electrical shop. The committee unanimously approved the legislation.
