Council Minutes of 6-7-20(15 3) She will be presenting a transfer appropriations ordinance at the next Council meeting. There are three issues: the capital improvement needs to be added to the appropriations because it was passed after the original appropriations was passed; there are a few technical corrections; some additional needs have arisen. Councilman McKay said he had received a letter from resident Cliff Crabs who lives on Butternut Ridge Road. Regarding the vandalism at Butternut Ridge Cemetery, Mr. Crabs wanted to commend the Police Department for their work on that case. Councilman Miller commented he had read in the 2004 residential recycling report that in 2003 North Olmsted had an average of 31 % recycling. However, in 2004 that number dropped to 23%. Sometimes it's just a matter of reminding the community how important it is to recycle and the benefits and encouraging our residents to take advantage of the various recycling activities that aze going on. Councilman McKay said that an incorrect rumor had been spreading throughout North Olmsted that we no longer recycle. Councilman Gareau said that perhaps part of the problem is residents aze not using the correct recycling materials so the items do not get picked up. Councilman Nashaz, chairperson of the Streets & Transportation Committee commented that he had been looking into the possible modifications of the no right turn on red signs at I-480 and Claque and at Mill and Dover Center roads. Regarding I-480 and Claque Road, he suggested the time be changed from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and then from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The Police Dept. noted that the Claque Road residents would be affected by this change. The Engineering Dept. recommended that no change be made until after the construction was completed on .Claque Road in 2006. Regarding the Mill and Dover Center area, Police Sgt. Wolf recommended no change. Councilman Bazker said he thought that the no right turn on red at I-480 and Claque was only in effect during weekdays. Mr. Nashar said he would check it out, and he suggested Council may want to readdress this issue after the 200b construction on Claque Road. Councilman Gareau, member of the Finance Committee: 1) The Finance Committee met on Monday, May 23, 2005. In attendance were Mayor O'Grady, Law Director Dubelko, Personnel Director Farver; Council members Limpert, Nashar, Dailey, McKay, Gareau, Miller, Tallon and President Kennedy. The committee discussed Ordinance 2005-86, an ordinance authorizing the Director of Public Safety to request proposals to provide planning and design services for the development of a recreation plan for the city and further authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the planning and design professional selected in the RFP process and approved by the Board of Control. This was brought forward by City Planner Kim Wenger in working with the various representatives from the Recreation Dept. to undertake an inventory of the current facilities, which would include current uses and conditions. This process would be widespread and not limited to one particulaz building, but it would take a look at recreation land and how it is being used. It would also go into conceptual designs for possible new, improved recreational services within the city. This has never been done before. Once this plan is in place, the city will be able to determine how to improve 7
