Council Minutes of 10/3/2006 Councilwoman Nicole Dailey Jones. Due to those efforts and with the support of all the members of Council, we have a commitment from ODOT to build new sound barrier walls beginning in July of 2007. This will be an inconvenience in the short term for some of our residents, but it will be a very significant improvement in the long term. We are pleased with this development. 5) Departments: • Senior Center will hold Lifeline screenings in the Community Cabin an November 29. This screening is for strokes, aneurysm, osteoporosis, and peripheral arterial disease. Screenings cost $45 each and are open to all North Olmsted residents regardless of age. • In Human Resources, our city earned $15,746+ premium credit through the Bureau of Workers' Compensation due to participation in the Safety Council discount program. Congratulations to Director Farver. A "Know Your Liabilities" training class. will be presented to all city supervisory personnel on October 23. The class will be conducted by James Climer, vice-president for risk control from the Municipal Insurance Alliance. On Thursday, the network administrator will be attending ahalf-day seminar presented by Microsoft that will give him additional information regarding a-mail archiving and records retention. • The Planning Director will be a guest speaker at the October 19 Chamber of Commerce luncheon. She will provide an update on current city planning projects, focusing on those impacting businesses and those related to economic development, in which she is very involved. The event will be held at the Radisson in North Olmsted. Tickets for the luncheon are available through the Chamber. • Thanks to those members of Council who attended the tour of the Central Dispatch Center located at St. John's Westshore Hospital. The center tour led by the CDC Supervisor, Nick Pishnery, appeared to be very informative to all present • The construction has begun on the new front entrance at City Ha11. The project will provide a needed Americans with Disability Act entrance and a needed larger caucus room for our citizens. The pouring of cement scheduled for today had to be delayed as what was found when the base was opened up was not on the original plans. It was found that the base goes a number of feet beyond the depth that was approved in original plans. Adjustments are being made. We are pleased with the production of Bowen Engineers as our city engineer as they've come to the aid on this issue. • The Clague Road reconstruction is moving to a close very quickly. It was scheduled to be done by the end of November. The project is ahead of schedule and under budget. • The Lorain Road project is ahead of schedule, and the final coat of asphalt is scheduled to be applied tonight. There will be temporary striping on the road. Once the asphalt cures, they will come back for the final work. • The annual leaf schedule will be mailed out next week. The first round will begin on October 16 in Ward 2, weather permitting and the leaves have indeed fallen. The new mailing will be easier to understand and contain a goad deal more information than it has in the past. Additionally, there will be updates on both our city cable channels and websites. • In the Service Dept., three new 4-wheel drive diesel F550 super-duty cabs have arrived along with their snow plows. Once the dump bodies and hydraulics are delivered, our Fleet Dept. will do the final assembly, and this in-house work, will save about $40,000. 2 -~ ,r.~~~
