Council Minutes of 11/18/2008 LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2007-58 introduced by Councilman Gareau was given its third reading. An ordinance amending Section 339.02 of Chapter 339 of the North Olmsted Traffic Code, entitled "Commercial and Heavy Vehicles," in order to increase the penalties for truck and other heavy vehicle traffic that illegally travel upon local streets not designated as truck routes. Councilman Gazeau moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker and passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2007-58 adopted. Ordinance No. 2008-56 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading. An ordinance amending Section 1139.01 of Chapter 1139 (Business Districts) of the Planning and Zoning Code in order to regulate the placement of charitable collection bin storage containers in the General Retail Business District of the City of North Olmsted. Councilman Barker moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Kearney. Roll call: Barker, no; Kearney, yes; Mahoney, yes; Gazeau, no with comment that passing this legislation would permit charitable bins to be placed throughout the city of North Olmsted. In the event the legislation does not pass, it would go back to what is a prohibited placement within the city of North Olmsted and we would see them go the way that he thinks they should, which is out. We have plenty of available bins by which to deposit recyclable materials within the city. Just yesterday he saw in Westlake a mound of debris piled up next to one of these very same bins. He votes no with the understanding that, should the ordinance fail, we will revert back to what it currently was before this legislation was introduced and that is a simple prohibition. His vote is no. Roll call continued: Ryan, no; Orlowski, no; Jones, yes with comment that she believes the best way to handle how many containers are placed in our city is through strict regulation and not through banning. The motion failed with four no votes and three yes votes. Ordinance No. 2008-56 was not adopted. Ordinance No. 2008-57 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading. An ordinance amending Sections 7SS.11 and 7SS.12 of Chapter 7SS (Secondhand Dealers) of the Business Regulation Code, entitled "Hours and Circumstances of Sales," and "Exceptions" in order to regulate outdoor collection receptacles on commercial property. Councilman Barker moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau. Roll call: Barker, yes with comment that this legislation is a back-up legislation to 2008-56. His vote is no. Mr. Barker apologized for first saying yes as he meant to say no. Roll call continued: Gazeau, no; Jones, yes; Kearney, yes; Mahoney, yes; Orlowski, no; Ryan, asked for the count. President Kennedy said it was three, three. Mr. Ryan voted no. The motion failed with four no votes and three yes votes. Ordinance No. 2008-57 was not adopted. Ordinance No. 2008-135 introduced by Councilman Gareau and Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading. An ordinance amending Section 1333.01 of the Building Code in order to more effectively require debris and other materials to be removed from demolition sites, as amended. Councilman Gareau moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll call: Gareau, yes with comment. He can give three examples where in the past a demolition took place and the parcels were improved, they were graded, and grass was planted. One is on Clague Road behind the 11
