REPORTS Mayor O'Grady: 1) Apre-construction meeting was held last week with regard to the Clague Road rehabilitation project. A & J Cement Contractors is going to complete this project and will begin on Monday, February 17, for 30 days of culvert work. This will close Clague Road. After the culvert work is completed, the traffic on Clague Road will be one way (southbound) for the duration of the project. We will do everything in our power to accommodate our residents who are going to be inconvenienced during this time. 2) He was contacted last week by RTA General Mgr. Joe Calabrese regarding the potential for fare increase. This is being driven by the cost of fuel. 3) He will meet tomorrow with the Senior Transportation Connection as a board member appointed by the Cuyahoga County Mayors & Managers Association. Of interest at that meeting will be the future of STC's call center on our Butternut Ridge property, and a discussion of Director Nick Schrader's offer of a position in Medina County. Nick is currently the Executive Director of both the North Olmsted Commission on Paratransit and the First Integrated Regional Senior Transportation Corporation. Hopefully, 5TC is able to make an offer that keeps him here in Cuyahoga County. 4) He will be speaking this week at Maple Intermediate School with regard to United States government and campaigning. 5) Pleased to present his 2006 budget to Council for consideration. 6) Departments-a workplace harassment training sessions for all directors and division heads will be held on February 23. 7) Fire Station No. 2.
