Council Minutes of 10/16/2007 declaring an emergency. Planning Director Wenger introduced Mr. Groden and Mr. Conaway who are members of the CDBG Advisory Committee. Ms. Wenger explained that the advisory committee is recommending the project which involves reconstructing two segments of Kennedy Ridge Road, one east and one west of the I-480 Great Northern Blvd. interchange. This is a much needed improvement in our city and Council appreciates the time that the CDBG Advisory Committee and the Planning Director put in to studying different areas of the city were improvements are needed and seeking out grant funds to assist in these areas. The committee unanimously recommended approval of the legislation to Council. • Resolution 2007-113, a resolution urging the Cuyahoga County Engineer to name the new section of County Road 76 from Lorain Road north to the North Olmsted corporate line Stearns Road. Mr. Orlowski stated that the Landmarks Commission had requested this resolution. Law Director Dubelko stated that he would advise Council to hold this legislation in committee as the administration was working on this issue and had more meaningful legislation coming forward soon. The committee unanimously voted to hold the legislation in committee. • Streets project update given by the Service Director, City Engineer and city foreman. All of the asphalt scheduled to be put down is down. Crack sealing has gone well this year, and the foreman stated that hiring an outside contractor to help with crack sealing the longer main streets was very helpful. In addition, crack sealing has helped keep our streets cleaner. Service Director Limpert said that Council should expect from the administration during the first quarter of next year a survey of the streets that were rated 4 and below. This partial survey will outline which streets are to be repaired in the next year.
