Ordinance No. 2008-17 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its second reading. An ordinance amending Sections 1139.01, 1145.01, and 1145.03 of the Zoning Code in order to establish regulations providing for the location of recycling facilities and recycling collection centers in the City of North Olmsted as amended. Resolution No. 2008-53 introduced by Mayor O'Grady on behalf of himself and Councilman Barker was given its second reading. A resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for the construction of the North Olmsted branch library improvement project, further authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract for said construction with the lowest and best bidder, subject to approval by the Board of Control and declaring an emergency, as amended. Councilman Gareau moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings, noting it had been heard in committee; and, with the construction season being underway, it's an appropriate time to move for suspension. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Barker, yes; Jones, yes; Ryan, no; Orlowski, no, with comment that he sincerely believes the pre-school children and elementary children are in need of and deserve better space than what currently exists. However, if the county levy for construction/reconstruction passes in November, he would hope the county would match our $900,000 / $950,000 and help us to construct an early childhood wing on the east side of the library. If this resolution does pass, he hopes the Mayor will consider a PLA on the planned work. Regarding maintenance at the library, he noted all four columns on the east side of the building need the vertical construction joints repaired. Roll call continued: Kearney, yes, with comment that he would echo Mr. Orlowski's comments about hoping the Mayor considers a PLA for this job agreement. Roll call continued: Mahoney, yes. The motion passed with five yes votes and two no votes. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane, thanked his Councilman for bringing up the Project Labor Agreement concept. He reminded everyone of what happened at Ohio University where they actually ended up with migrant workers on the project and their kids doing electrical wiring. Once again, this is one of the reasons why he felt this should come back to Council to look at the bids before it goes forward. Councilman Gareau made a motion to adopt, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Barker, yes; Mahoney, yes; Kearney, yes; Orlowski, no; Jones, yes; Ryan, no.
