Council Minutes of 6/19/2007 Regulation Code. The Do Not Knock Registry will be in conjunction with the door stickers to prevent peddlers and solicitors from bothering residents. This presents two opportunities for solicitors and peddlers to not violate the peace and quiet of residents. It is up to the residents to place their information on the registry and there is a 5 year expiration period from when a form is submitted. A resident may electronically or manually add their information to the registry. Canvassers are deemed to be individuals seeking someone's opinion on an issue or something similar in nature and are not included on the list. They cannot ask for a contribution for any cause. The committee, Council Members and Mr. Burns had several questions which needed to be researched and additional information presented. The committee unanimously voted to hold Ordinance 2007-72 in committee pending additional information. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION 1) Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, said, when the library was being built, he had made his feelings known that the library was too small and should have been about 40,000 square feet instead of 30,000 square feet. Also, there are water issues on the site as there is an underground stream there. Had the additional area been built, it would have saved the citizens of North Olmsted money. One of his greatest concerns which fell on deaf ears was the fact that most communities building libraries use the school district, not the city. The Mayfield and Fairview Park regional libraries are examples. All those issues that were to be projected for the future use of the library, school officials have a lot of input on and they know a little bit more than city people about those issues. The library building took out property that was generating tax money and turned it into anon- tax generating issue. The whole library was a fiasco. When citizens get done paying for this, whether money has been set aside or not, that money could be used to pay down the debt this community owes. Future generations are going to pay for it. There should have been some forethought. 2) Don Pangrac, 23470 Sharon Drive, has asked the Finance Director for cost and revenue projections and summaries from the Rocky River Court for the last five years. He has not received them and is making a public records request for that information. Hopes this request will permit an end to the necessity for requests and that no further action on his part will be necessary. 3) Joan Puinno, 27181 Glouchester Drive, said she previously fought against the cell tower issue at the high school. Wonders in these passing years if anybody on the committee has looked into the fact that they don't need to build these towers. There is a GPS sending and receiving station she talked about four years ago. They have to give you the latest technology, but they don't want to because they have all the poles. The sending and receiving station is 17 inches x 21 inches. They don't need equipment; they don't need fences; they don't need an access. Does anyone have an answer why this equipment is not being provided? Does the city not have a committee or someone who can refute what is being said that some of these things are not bad for your health. She knows that cannot be brought up, but doesn't the city care?
