Council Minutes of 6/3/2008 together, and they weren't supposed to be and that was his mistake. His concern was to bring this issue out. Mayor O'Grady commented, as previously stated for the record, there is no intent on the part of this administration to recommend to Council any change in the current system with regard to the 2% credit on income tax. That is not being considered. 3) Don DeBrodt, 23141 Stoneybrook, said he did not believe the Charter requires the Mayor to attend City Council meetings. As he recalls, the language says he may attend meetings. He doesn't remember any mention of the other two elected directors with any requirement whatsoever. Thinks it's a little strange that Council would be more stringent with appointed directors than with the Mayor and elected directors. LEGISLATION Ordinance No. 2008-19 introduced by council Members Ryan and Orlowski was given its third reading. An ordinance amending Section 505.08 of Chapter 505 of the General Offenses Code entitled "Animals and Fowl," in order to restrict the number of dogs that may be kept on residential lots in the city, as amended. Councilman Ryan moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Orlowski. Roll call: Ryan, yes, Orlowski, yes; Mahoney, no; Gareau, no; Jones, no; Barker, no. The motion failed with four no votes and two yes votes. Ordinance No. 2008-19 not adopted. Ordinance No. 2008-67 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading. An ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 2003-25, codified at Sections 139.12 and 141.08 of the North Olmsted Codified Ordinances, which requires the Directors of Public Safety and Public Service to attend all regular meetings of the City Council. Councilman Gareau moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Ryan. Roll call: Gareau, no; Ryan, no; Jones, no with comment that she believes Council should retain the right to require directors to attend meetings. But she also thinks that Council should look at this ordinance so as to ensure that communication between these two bodies of government is strengthened regarding this matter. Roll call continued: Orlowski, no; Barker, no; Mahoney, no with comment that he echoes the sentiments of Ms. Dailey Jones. He will look into introducing legislation that would provide a clause to permit the excused absence of the Safety and Service Directors and may look into introducing legislation that would require the other directors to attend as well with the same excused absence provision. The motion failed with six no votes. Ordinance No. 2008-67 not adopted. Ordinance No. 2008-68 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its third reading. An ordinance repealing Section 141.09 of the North Olmsted Codified Ordinances, which established an administrative motor vehicle pool to determine and allocate the use of city vehicles assigned to the Mayor and the Directors. Councilman Ryan moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Gareau. The motion failed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2008-68 not adopted. 13
