Council Minutes of 8/21/2007 safely that run east/west in North Olmsted, and the addition of more commercial property in that area is not in the best interest of the safety of the citizens of North Olmsted. Roll call continued: Tallon, no, with comment, that he had offered several suggestions to the developer to enhance this project to fit well into the area. The developer decided not to accept those suggestions. If the developer would like to put this project on hold and bring it out with some more of the recommendations, he would be happy to look at it again and re-evaluate it. He feels the suggestions that were offered were very reasonable, and they were just not listened to. The motion failed with four no votes and three yes votes. Councilman Tallon, chairperson of the Finance Committee: I) The committee met on August 13, 2007. In attendance were committee members Tallon and Miller (Mr. Ryan could not attend due to an injury); Councilmen Orlowski, Gareau, and Barker, President of Council Kennedy; Finance Director Copfer, Human Resources Director Farver, Planning Director Wenger, Community Life Services Director Dailey, Safety Director Terbrack, and Service Director Limpert.

("E-Gov Link") and authorizing the Mayor to execute an addendum to said contract with E-Gov Link, providing for the latter to provide additional software application services to the city. This was a proposal that the Mayor had already signed a contract, but it was for under the $5,000 limit. The new addendums would bring it over it, and the Law Dept. requested we bring it into Council as a new ordinance.
