Council Minutes of 3/7/2006 that worked and would be effective to address these concerns. Other communities had this legislation, and we now have this issue under control.

Thanks to the Law Director for putting together a very workable piece of legislation that will be very effective. Thanks also to the local media who have been following this for some time and probably pushed the right buttons to get things moving a little quicker. Families and children will be positively affected as a result of that. Our safety forces need to be commended for the way in which they handled the situation. Fortunately, the losses and the more severe injuries were minimized. The motion passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2006-48 adopted. Mayor O'Grady thanked Law Director Dubelko for conducting the research on this important piece of legislation and helping to craft something that was very useful-it's going to be good for our citizens. Special thanks to Ward Councilwoman Nicole Dailey Jones for her leadership which helped the administration craft this piece of legislation. Our outstanding safety forces did the right things-the police increased their investigation, they increased enforcement. Our fire fighters provided emergency medical services when needed. The folks from Channel 5 were helpful in informing parents. It would not have been possible for the City of North Olmsted to inform parents the way Channel 5 did. City Council took the step in objecting to the liquor license transfer. That was an additional step, and an important step. Thanks to his administration in bringing forth this piece of legislation. It is the right step. It will make our citizens safer; it will make our young people safer. An important message is the system does work and that the city government does work. When we're approached with a difficult problem, we can come together, we can find solutions. Thanks to Council for their support.
