Council Minutes of 3/3/2004 unanimously to hold the legislation in committee until Mr. Friedel and NOSO respond regarding the longer term commitments. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Scott McKernan, 27972 Andorra Drive. • Asked when the repair project on streets in his development that was started last year would be completed. Mayor Musial said that last year the city had embarked upon a program of putting in approximately $250,000 into North Park Estates and Sandy Ridge. The city is contemplating putting another $250,000 into those developments this year. This will not complete the job but will take care of the major portion. Mr. McKernan expressed thanks to Mr. Limpert who had been keeping him updated on this. He inquired about having the street sweeper come down his street. Mayor Musial said the sweeper is out. The main streets are being worked on now, and the subdivisions will follow. Councilman Miller commented that at the last committee meeting he had asked the Service Director about the length of the street project. He asked the Service Director to speak to that issue. Service Director Driscoll came forward and said that he recently looked at the streets in both the North Park and Sandy Ridge developments. It looks like $250,000 a year will take about four years to get through the developments. Based upon approval, it's his intention to move forward with a consultant who will come out and do a pavement condition rating for all the streets in the city. This study will basically evaluate the condition, rate the condition and give an estimate on the number of dollars that it takes to maintain all the streets in the city at the present condition, to raise them up to a certain level of condition, and to make sure that we are on track with our street improvement program and investing enough money into the projects each year. Mr. Limpert said he would like to ask the administration, if it does start looking like it's going to take longer than the original three years, that the possibility of funding greater than $250,000 be considered. Roy Garland, 4576 Camellia. ~ Would like to thank Council and the Mayor for appointing the final members of the Cultural Activities Commission. On Aprit 15 and 16, there will be a dinner theater at Bev Martindale's. On June 18, 19, 25, and 26, the commission will present their first major production at Old Town Hall. Auditions will be held on Apri120 and 21. They would like to city to replace the fan in the HVAC unit in Old Town Hall as it is very noisy. Dave Saunders, 6188 Brighton Drive • As president of the North Olmsted Soccer Organization, he wanted to make sure that everyone was on the same page and understanding with regard to the issue of the water system at Barton/Bradley soccer fields. NOSO was started 30 years ago, and the NOSO Cup began 27 years ago. This tournament has a sizable impact on the city as the Cleveland Visitors Bureau estimates that the tournament generates approximately $825,000 for the North Olmsted economy. NOSO considers itself the "feeder" program for the high school program, a very well respected soccer program 6
