Council Minutes of 12/16/2008 26) Mary Beth Sammon, 24204 Gessner, a resident for 17 years and a small business owner for 10 years in North Olmsted. As a massage therapist, she gives discounts to the safety forces because it is important for them to stay healthy. She feels strongly about the safety of her family and feels someday their lives could be saved by these people. She encourages everybody in North Olmsted to call the Fire Department and get current CPR training because it might be needed if these cuts are made. 27) Katie Kasza, 23759 Lucille Drive, said a comment had been made earlier about the flyers-that they were an insult or this was a game. She is the wife of a fire fighter who is being laid off and said this is not a game. The fire fighters worked very hard to deliver the flyers to all the homes and they weren't doing it as a game. They told her they are all family and were fighting to save her husband's job. They take lives of citizens seriously Yes, they want to save these jobs, but they also do believe in the safety of everybody in this city. Everybody who lives here deserves to know that the fire fighters work hard at their jobs. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2008-152 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading.
