Council Minutes of 6/19/2007 included Mr. Tallon's suggestion of actually closing off the children's section with a glass wall. Mrs. Jones was excited that they would shelve off the kids' section so her son Connor would not make it to the fountain all the time. Mr. Gareau was very happy with the proposed changes and was really pushing for more visual objects in the children's section. Councilman Gareau suggested the Mayor communicate with the library about where they go next because they need to get more detail in their renderings if they would like to proceed with Council approval this year. Mayor O'Grady noted the proposed improvements included the enhancements to the exterior with the additional sidewalk with the fencing. President Kennedy agreed that was discussed, but there were questions asked and it needs to be discussed again. Councilman Gareau said that issue needed to be presented as a proposal so Council can begin to take the steps to address it. Councilman Tallon said there were several questions asked and proposals asked about. The architects said they were glad to take that back and get costs on the proposals. The project did not include any fencing. At the next meeting, the architects will include some of the suggestions made by Council and the fencing with costs. The proposal presented was approximately $500,000, not including the professional fees. 2) The Committee-of--the-Whole also met on June 12 to discuss two items: tabling of old pending legislation; e-mail records retention. Present were President Kennedy and Council Members Barker, Jones, Orlowski and Tallon; Law Director Dubelko. After brief discussion of pending legislation, the committee unanimously agreed to table various legislation. (Legislation to be tabled is on the Council agenda.) The committee discussed e-mail records retention. E-mails made by public officials are similar to writing a letter. They must be retained as part of the public record for a certain amount of time. E-mails fall into three different categories: transient, intermediate and permanent-based on the importance of the e-mail. Council needs to put a plan in place and submit that to the State for approval. After some discussion, Council decided that the Clerk of Council would put together a plan to be submitted to the State of Ohio. Councilman Tallon, on behalf of Councilman Miller, gave the report for the Environmental Control Committee: 1) On Monday, June 4, 2007, the Environmental Control Committee met to discuss Ord. 2007-38, an ordinance creating new Chapter 913 of the Streets, Utilities and Public Services Code, entitled "Fats, Oils and Grease - Interceptor Installation and Waste Disposal," and amending Section 911.12(c)(3) and repealing Section 911.12(e) of the North Olmsted Codified Ordinances. In attendance, were committee members and Council Members, Barry Grisez from the County Board of Health, Environmental Health Services and Sharon Schlemmer, Pretreatment Coordinator from the WWTP. As a result of questions asked at a previous committee meeting, the following clarifications were made: This ordinance does not affect any current regulations related to discharge of gasoline, benzene, or other flammable or explosive liquids as mentioned in 911.12(c)(2). A discussion was had about 911.12(c)(3). The proposed ordinance, if adopted, would provide that the allowed amount of free oils, emulsified oils, and grease would be nearly tripled from 100 parts per million to 250 parts per million or 833 pounds per million gallons to 2,085 pounds per million gallons.
