Council Minutes of 11/15/2005 have been complaints. Mr. Calabrese responded, and the board became quite active about quality service. Following his comments, a union person who works at the Triskett garage spent a lot of time talking about some very serious design problems with the garage, particularly ventilation. The union is about ready to walk out. So they may be needing some garage space. He is going to pursue that issue and keep the Mayor informed. If we do have a meeting, perhaps we can address the Westshore service in general. Nicole Dailey Jones, 30827 Windy Hollow Lane, thanked the voters of Ward 3 for their support. Thanks also to George Nashar for his many years of service to Ward 3. In keeping with quoting famous people this evening, Martin Luther King Jr. said: "Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be." She thinks everyone can agree on one thing: what the City of North Olmsted should constantly strive to be for its residents. She is looking forward to working with Council, the administration, and on behalf of the residents of North Olmsted in determining how the city can continue to improve in all areas while keeping in mind how the decisions made by city officials affect the residents. Councilman Nashar thanked Councilwoman-elect Dailey Jones and wished her success during the next four years. Terry Groden, 25211 Chase Drive, said he has received a couple of complaints from residents in the Deerfield Park neighborhood about buses traveling too fast down Deerfield Road. He filed a complaint with RTA on behalf of Deerfield Park, but he did not receive a response. He would be very interested if we could get a public hearing with RTA, hopefully before the end of the year. Mayor O'Grady commented with regard to buses exceeding the posted speed limit, that anyone witnessing such unsafe activity should notify the Police Dept. If the residents have provided Mr. Groden with times of day that this routinely happens and the location, a police car can be placed there. We will have the public hearing, and it's his expectation it will be held before the end of the year. He would like a copy of the complaint filed with RTA by Mr. Groden.
