Resolution No. 2008-76 adopted. Resolution No. 2008-77 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mayor O'Grady on behalf of himself and the entire City Council. A resolution in support of the Great Lakes compact and declaring an emergency. Councilman Ryan moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mahoney and passed unanimously. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, said this has not gone to committee, but it's an important piece of legislation. He noted that Mr. Grendell, who is the main obstructionist to this going through in the State of Ohio, had told him in the past that he made his living suing cities. Mr. Grendell has since been fighting for "the private property owners and their right to propert}~' and has made that an issue in obstructing this compact with the other states. Fact of the matter is, water is not a property. It's aGod-given resource. In perhaps passing this, we will suddenly become enlightened as to what is property and what is a resource. After that, maybe we can start to address the oil issue as well because that is a resource and it is God-given to us. There are some people who believe it is an opportunity to profit from average people, and water is another issue. Councilman Ryan moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mahoney and passed unanimously. Resolution No. 2008-77 adopted. 16
