Council Minutes of 11/8/20Q6 AU_ DIENCE PAi~TICiPAT(~N Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, expressed concern about Ordinance 2006-179 which deals with nuisance odors. He believes it might cause neighbors to hassle one another about ordinary odors such as from a barbecue grill or an outside fireplace. He suggested the ordinance might be more than what Council thinks, and he is concerned the ordinance may not be enforceable or would be selectively enforced. He suggested Council take a close look at the legislation in committee and bring forth legislation that does not create a nuisance for the police and the people of North Olmsted. Law Director Dubelko appreciated Mr. Lambert's remarks because good legislation needs public comment. Presently, the city has legislation in place that regulates noxious odors, but it has a very indefinite standard and poses some of the risks of arbitrary enforcement suggested by Mr. Lambert. The proposed modification/addition to that legislation is more specific and deals with air contaminant sources and control equipment. Input from the public is good and will make sure what is being legislated does in fact narrowly address a true evil that the city is trying to address, that it isn't too broad, and that needed exemptions are included. LEGISLATION Resolution No. 2006-170 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading. A resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for the reconstruction of Great Northern Boulevard from NOMBL Lane to Country Club Boulevard (excluding the bridge over Interstate 480) in the City of North Olmsted as detailed in the plans and specifications on file, further authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with the lowest and best bidder for said repairs, and declaring an emergency.
