Council Minutes of 10/4/2005 we should take a close look at that $30,000 that is still available and use it appropriately before the year is out if there are projects that need to be completed. The Chief made a statement to the Safety Director and the Safety Committee that all the information is out on the table, we know where we need to go for 2006, and we can work it out. There seems to be an effort to resolve the manpower issues within the restraints of the combination of finances, retirements and when the academy is offered. Due to liability issues, it is no longer the policy of the department to swear in an officer, have him ride locally to become familiar with the city and then go to the academy. The academy has to be the first step. • Ordinance 2005-136, video cameras for police cars. This was a rather technical discussion as to the memory of the units and when they will be used. The cameras have a 90 second loop that is constantly recording, and they have an 80 gigabyte hard drive. There will be a one-year maintenance program with each of the cameras, and all of the police cars will have cameras. The Service Dept. will observe initial installation by the vendor company and will then complete the balance of the installations. The committee recommended 2-0 to approve Ordinance 2005-136. For the record, Mayor O'Grady commented there is no intention within this administration of reducing or eliminating the school resource officer. Likewise, there is no intention of doing away with the DARE position unless that position evolves into another position which would benefit different age groups, which is being discussed. At this time, there is no intent to do any type of reduction as far as our cooperation with the schools. Councilman Gareau, chairperson of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee: 1) The committee met twice to consider Suburban Collision Center located at 26618 Brookpark Road extension. The meeting dates were Monday, September 19, 2005, from 7 to 7:30 p.m., and Monday, September 12, 2005, for approximately 2 to 2 % hours. This proposal involves an addition to the existing Suburban Auto structure on Brookpark Road extension. The addition will be to accommodate two paint booths, which are currently located at the Suburban Collision Center on Dover Center Road in North Olmsted. The proposed expansion will be located in the rear and would not involve additional parking or extend the developed portion of the site any further north. The proposed addition will match the existing building in terms of color and materials. This proposal site is within a General Retail Business zoning classification as set forth in 1139.01 (d) (1). In this section, vehicle repair establishments are permitted as a conditional use subject to the requirements of Chapter 1118.03. Consistent with 1118.03, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposal and issued findings after review of 1118.03 (a through f). The commission was required to review the proposal in light of that section. There was some confusion where the Planning Commission had voted the matter out and sent it to the BZD for the September 12 meeting. Another BZD meeting was held on September 19. At that point, it was then sent back to Planning Commission so that the Planning Commission could issue the findings which it was required to do under 1118.03.
