Council Minutes of 3/3/2004 • Ordinance 2003-22, sponsored by Council Members Gareau, Miller, Nashar, Dailey, McKay and Kasler. This ordinance amends Section 161.06 of the Administrative Code entitled "Vehicle Mileage Allowance" so as to establish a new city policy regarding the use of city vehicles and private vehicles by city employees for official use and business and declaring an emergency. This ordinance has been on hold for over a year. It was discussed at length during the January 27 committee meeting, at which time the Personnel Director was asked to provide recommendations and proposals about the use of city vehicles which could be used in implementing this legislation. After reviewing the recommendations at the meeting of February 24, it was determined that this ordinance could possibly affect only one city employee who is using a vehicle and does drive it home at night. With that in mind, the committee recommended tabling Ordinance 2003-22, but will review the city vehicle policy when replacements for city vehicles are requested in the future. Councilman Limpert, chairperson of the Intra-Governmental Relations Committee: 1) The committee met on February 24. Present were committee members Kasler, Miller and Limpert as well as Councilpersons McKay, Nashar, Dailey and Gareau; Mayor Musial, Law Director Dubelko, Planning Director Wenger and Landmarks Commission member Paul Barker. The purpose of the meeting was to interview Mr. Paul Schumann for the Landmarks Commission. Mr. Schumann has appeared before the commission several times for improvements to his own property at the corner of Butternut Ridge and Revere. He owns a number of older properties on the west side of Cuyahoga County and has historically restored many of them. Mr. Barker told the committee how much the commission is looking forward to having Mr. Schumann as a member. The committee unanimously approved Mr. Schumann for membership on the Landmarks Commission. Councilman Limpert moved that Council approve the Mayor's appointment of Mr. Paul Schumann to the Landmarks Commission for the term of January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2005.
