.. Council Minutes of 1/3/2006 that point. If there is anything he can do to help Mr. Davison, please call. Councilman Gareau said he recalled conversations with Mr. Davison over the years and that the problem was the proposal to implement the mounding and screening along the property line where it abuts Mr. Davison's property was in conflict with the drainage plan. Where the church was supposed to put the mound was actually supposed to be a swale. He offered apologies to Mr. Davison and to Mr. Sheffield from the church. Law Director Dubelko said Assistant Law Director O'Malley had been providing support and advice to the city departments on this issue. He will speak to Mr. O'Malley to find out where the issue stands and suggested Mr. Davison call his office for an update. John Espersen, 26691 Caton Place, was upset that his son and other high school students are not being allowed to park in the library parking lot. He has been informed the cars will be towed and inquired whether the library had the right to tow cars from city property. It was explained to Mr. Espersen that city has nothing to do with regulating parking at the library. The Cuyahoga County Library leases the property. It is their building and their land, and they control it and maintain it. With regard to providing parking for students, Mr. Espersen should contact the city schools as that is under their control. Anna Ford, 5981 Forest Ridge, is concerned about overgrown trees and shrubs which block the view of motorists at intersections.
