i Council Minutes of 3/18/2008 Mayor O'Grady commented that he is very proud of the professional and open relationship that the administration has with this very fine Council, and he looks forward to that continuing. Mr. Larnbert's distortions are nothing new. If Council Members have any questions, he will be glad to discuss it with them. Don DeBrodt, 23141 Stoneybrook, said he thought the whole letter was a cheap shot against the Mayor and against the Safety Director. L1~GISLATIQN Ordinance No. 2008-6 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its second reading. An ordinance amending Chapter 1163 (Signs) of the Zoning Code in order to provide new regulations for temporary signs as amended. Ordinance No. 2008-34 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its second reading. An ordinance to make appropriations for current expenses and other expenditures for the City of North Olmsted for the year ending December 31, 2008 as amended. Councilman Gareau moved for suspension of the rule requiring three readings and noted it had been reviewed in committee. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll call: Gareau, yes, with the further explanation for the suspension is that this the appropriation ordinance. If it's not passed and put into effect this evening under suspension, we'll either have one more meeting which will have to be scheduled or we won't have it in place by law and all sorts of not-so-good things will happen. Roll call continued: Barker, yes; Mahoney, yes; Jones, yes; Orlowski, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Councilman Gareau moved for adoption, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll call: Gareau, yes; Barker, yes, with comment. He also would like to thank Mr. Gareau for his leadership in the budget hearing process. This was his third budget hearing process being involved as a Councilman and probably his fourth or fifth as a resident. He want to commend Mr. Gareau for handling such a smooth operation that it was done in a meeting and a half, whereas in the past it's been three or four meetings during the evening and then two or three Saturdays. It was a real pleasure this time. Thank you. Roll call continued: Orlowski, yes; Mahoney, yes; Jones, yes. The motion passed unanimously. Ordinance No. 2008-34 adopted.
