A resolution accepting a donation of cash, materials and in kind services from the North Olmsted Hot Stove League and the North Olmsted Schools for the purpose of renovating Diamond Number One at North Olmsted Park, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Barker moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review and noted the legislation had been discussed in caucus and by the Recreation Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau and passed unanimously. Councilman Barker moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller. Roll call: Barker, yes; Miller, yes; Ryan, yes; Gareau, yes, with comment that it's always good to see us work with these different entities to get these types of improvements done. But he hopes we don't stop there because he thinks there are number of ball diamonds that are in serious need of attention, and we shouldn't have to rely on charity to fix them. He has received complaints about this for a couple of years now. Maybe it's a good time to evaluate what's not being done, and put it on the list. Roll call continued: Jones, yes; Orlowski, yes; Tallon, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Resolution No. 2007-112 adopted.
