Council Minutes of 6/20/2006 made the motion, and the second was by Mr. Miller. Mr. Ryan voted yes on the motion. Roll call continued: Gareau, yes; Tallon, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Resolution No. 2006-133 adopted. Resolution No. 2006-134 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mayor O'Grady. A resolution authorizing the Director of Law to retain outside counsel to assist the City of North Olmsted in matters relating to negotiating a video services (franchise) agreement with AT&T and, in addition, to propose right-of--way regulations related thereto, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Tallon moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and formal committee review. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll call: Tallon, yes; Barker, yes; Ryan, yes; Gareau, no; Orlowski, yes; Jones, yes; Miller, yes, with reservations. He knows that Walter & Haverfield is a professional organization and expert in this field, but he is sure there is more than one expert in the Cleveland area. If it's an appropriate savings to the city, he would like to see the work spread around a little bit. He thinks sometimes these various agencies, firms, or outside contractors assume they are always going to get the work and kind of plug it in to their costs. Maybe we ought to let them know it's not a guaranteed deal. The motion passed with six yes votes and one no vote. Councilman Ryan asked the Law Director if he felt he needed this passed and through Council as quickly as possible. Law Director Dubelko answered yes. Councilman Tallon moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Ryan. Roll call: Tallon, yes; Ryan, yes; Gareau, no; Barker, yes; Jones, yes; Orlowski, yes; Miller, yes.

Ordinance No. 2006-135 was introduced and placed on first reading by Councilman Miller on behalf of himself, Council Member Dailey Jones and Mayor O'Grady. An ordinance creating new Chapter 1142 (Residential Office District) of the North Olmsted Zoning Code in order to establish a new district of permitted uses. Councilman Miller thanked the Law Dept. for their diligence in bringing this forward as it is an issue that needs to be addressed. However, both he and Mrs. Jones feel that this is a work in progress and not necessarily the final product. This legislation will be reviewed by Council along with at least one of the boards and commissions, and it may not be the final product. Law Director Dubelko said he hoped Council will join him in also thanking the Planning Director who helped him with this legislation. Councilman Miller said absolutely and apologized for not mentioning Ms. Wenger, whom he often thanks for her work.
