Council Minutes of 9/18/2007 Councilman Barker commented on the presentation of the rate and operational study by ATS which he felt was one of the best presentations he has ever seen. The facts were given in a way that was understandable. He was impressed with what they had to present, what they said, and how it was presented. Thanks to all who chose this firm. Councilman Orlowski, chairperson of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: 1) Made a motion to dispense with the committee meeting and formal review of liquor permit No. 7148363 for R & J Damoa Corp. DBA Aoeshi, 24539 Lorain Road. This is an application for a change of corporate stock ownership of 500 shares to Jin Sun Kim, formerly known as Jin Sun Choe. Police Lt. Cox has stated there are no violations, nothing pending, and the Police Dept. has no objections to the stock transfer. Second by Mr. Miller. President Kennedy questioned whether a motion was needed. Law Director Dubelko said he did not think Council's rules addressed this, and certainly it hasn't been referred into committee. He thinks it's just through tradition that, when these come in, they are sent to the Safety Committee. He does not think it takes any waiving of rules. If it's Council's choice to not review them in committee and just to take the motion to not oppose on the floor, that's fine. President Kennedy suggested a motion to not object would be sufficient. Councilman Orlowski made a motion that Council not object to the stock transfer for the liquor permit for R & J Damoa Corp., DBA Aoeshi, 24539 Lorain Road. The motion was seconded by Councilman Miller and passed unanimously. 2) Made a motion that Council not object to the application for a new DSI license (spirituous liquor for on premises consumption only, beer and wine for on premises and off premises in original sealed containers until 2:30 a.m. for restaurants meeting certain criteria), Permit No. 3303668 for Gourmet Food Concepts, LLC, DBA Rosie's Restaurant, 27350 Lorain Road. The Police Dept. has no objections. The motion was seconded by Councilman Tallon. Roll call: Orlowski, yes; Tallon, yes; Jones, yes; Miller, yes; Ryan, yes; Barker, yes; Gareau, no. The motion passed with six yes votes and one no vote. Council Member Dailey Jones commented, since Resolution 2007-109 is on the agenda, she wanted to make the statement that the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development did do a review of North Olmsted's fair housing program in July. We were found to be doing an excellent job in promoting fair housing throughout the city and handling any complaints that come in through our Law Department. This is an example of a cooperative agreement with the federal government which has really been a benefit to the city and to the residents. This resolution is the final part of our agreement with HUD. She would like to commend all the people who worked on this project for the last few years. LETTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS The Clerk received an a-mail from Councilman Ryan which he asked to be made part of the record but not to be read. 6
