Council Minutes of 2/17/2tiQ4 maintenance of lifepacks and related equipment for the North Olmsted Fire Department, and declaring an emergency. Mayor Musial noted that, without the maintenance agreement, lifepacks cannot be repaired and the squad would be out of service. The agreement calls for a loaner which would keep the squad in service. Councilwoman Kasler moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and formal committee review. The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert. Roll call: Kasler, yes; Limpert, yes; Miller, yes, noting that this was discussed in caucus. Roll call continued: Nashar, yes; Dailey, yes; Gareau, no, with comment. This is another example of a situation where it should have been handled appropriately at an earlier date. The Mayor just commented that, without this service agreement, we would have the possibility of having our units being out of service. The service agreement being voted on is for January 1, 2004 until December 31, 2004. It is a month and a half late. It should also be noted that the proposal provided as an exhibit was submitted to the city on December 8. If it had been handled in an appropriate manner, a committee meeting could have been held where it could have been discussed in more detail and it wouldn't need passage under suspension. This is not the first time this has happened, but hopefully it is the last. Roll call continued: McKay, yes. The motion passed with six yeas and one no. Councilwoman Kasler moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert. Roll call: Kasler, yes; Limpert, yes; McKay, yes; Miller, yes; Gareau, yes, with comment. Despite the fact that he is opposed to the legislation passing under suspension, nevertheless it's a piece of legislation that needs to be enacted. Roll call continued: Dailey, yes; Nashar, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Resolution No. 2004-29 adopted.
