Council Minutes of 2/3/2004 Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane. • He does not agree with the concept of attaching an officer's salary with his productivity. STOP was a balance to get officers on the street. Other cities have their own places to catch people. The square mileage is much higher in our city than Rocky River, for example. • Regarding Mr. Dial's comment, he knew the meeting with CEI was going to be soon as Mr. Driscoll told him. It is a very delicate situation. The city should get the Law Director involved now-CEI has many attorneys to do anything they want. Negotiation is the best way.

Sprinklers will not be turned on unless someone is there. Jim Burns, 3978 Dover Center Road • Asked why there wasn't a name in Ordinance 2004-2. Legislation shouldn't get this far without a name. The Clerk noted that Council was planning to table Ordinance 2004-2. Councilwoman Kasler said that Council had objected to this, and the committee voted 2-1 to not approve. Don Pangrac, 23470 Sharon Drive • The Law Department should be the gatekeeper of this and should not pass it on if it is missing pieces. Law Director Dubelko said he does that, but this was presented as an emergency. Safety Director Jesse said he takes responsibility for the legislative request. An employee was leaving (Data Processing Commissioner), and that could present a problem. In the interim, a purchase order system has been introduced. Councilwoman Kasler asked if the 14
