Council Minutes of 3/18/2008 2) Tax assistance advice is available to seniors in our community through the AARP. Please contact the Senior Center to schedule an appointment. 3) Through the Senior Home Safety Grant Program, the city was able to assist eight seniors in making safety repairs to their home with the idea of allowing them to live in their homes for longer periods. Out of the participating communities in this county program, North Olmsted has assisted the most seniors. Seniors wishing to participate should contact the Senior Center or CLS Director Dailey. 4) Residents will soon have access to the Spring/Summer program guide for the Rec Center with many new activities and classes. 5) Emergency food cupboard is low on supplies. Donations of non-perishable items can be dropped off at City Hall. 6) Kick-off for the steering committee meeting of the Great Northern Multi-Modal Transportation Plan will be held March 19 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers. Anyone who wishes to observe is welcome. 7) The administration will be making a presentation of the recreation plan to all of Council next month. 8) There was an electrical outage yesterday at Westfield Great Northern Mall which caused ashort-term evacuation of the facility.

The I-480 replacement sound walls surveyor stakes are in the ground. Actual posts for those sound walls will be put in place as the weather permits. 15) Legislation: Resolutions 2008-23 and 41 are being held for the second time due to the unavailability of the Intra-Governmental Relations chairman.
