AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane • Inquired of Councilwoman Kasler if the issue of a mayor's court has been dropped. Mrs. Kasler said, no, but to say it is under consideration is probably a stretch. What was decided was to give the Rocky River Court at least a year under the recommendations that arose out of the discussion of the mayor's court. There were several issues that the court chose to address in streamlining some of the overtime that was occurring with our police officers sitting in court. It is on her agenda, at the urging of Mr. Nashar, to look into the results of those changes to see whether or not it's still beneficial to consider bringing a mayor's court to North Olmsted. Law Director Dubelko commented that a mayor's court can only be instituted by the Mayor. It is statutory and state law. • He is concerned about the walking path on Cedar Point Hill going into the park. The white stripes on the road are now missing, and people are driving all over right up to the curb as people are trying to walk up and down the park entrance. He would like to see the lanes shifted and a barrier put between the road and the path. Mrs. Kasler said she will review previous memos she had written regarding this issue and will address it with the Service Director. Mr. Miller said his recollection in regards to the Cedar Point Hill issue was there was not an overwhelming interest on the part of the Police Department to get behind an effort to building a better barrier. ~µ 4
