REPORTS Mayor O'Grady: 1) He recognized distinguished citizens that volunteer their time to the CERT program -Community Emergency Response Team. In Lakewood, there was an evacuation of a home because a person that was being arrested or was about to be arrested was barricaded in there with weapons. It was the CERT team in Lakewood that helped people evacuate their homes to get them into a safe location where they were given food and lodging. This past weekend, Olmsted Falls / Olmsted Township had their POD -point of dispensing -activated to give out H1N1 vaccines, and North Olmsted's CERT people were there including CERT Coordinator, Tricia Granfors. This coming weekend, North Olmsted will activate their POD and North Olmsted's CERT people will help make this a reality. Without them, there is no way the city can do it on such short notice. The Mayor recognized the following new graduates of the CERT program: Carolyn Bernard De Niro Bernard Deborah Chervenak John Cuciak Susan Gehring Donald Kuntz Helen Reindel .. ,~ _.
