Council Minutes of 10-06-2009 4) 2009-106 is a Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for copy machine leases and service agreements, and further authorizing the Mayor, after Board of Control approval, to execute a contract with the lowest and best bidder. This is an attempt to get the copier leases under one agreement. Not that long ago, every building had their own lease and their own term with different machines and different providers. If you're going to go out and obtain a lease, it is better to obtain six than it is to obtain one to possibly get a financial advantage. Through the work of the Service Department, Finance Director, and Shaun in the Service Department, the city finally arrived at that point of having one agreement for multiple machines that will service the city of North Olmsted for copying services. He thought it would be best to add an emergency clause because the contracts expire December 31, 2009 and there is a bidding process involved. There was also a request for suspension of the rule requiring three readings so that the city can get the proper notices and have this in place by the end of the year. Councilman Gareau made a motion recommend approval. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker and passed unanimously. The committee recommended approval of 2009-106. Councilman Gareau made a motion to amend 2009-106 to add an emergency clause and reason for the emergency as indicated in Section Two of the Resolution. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker and passed unanimously. Ordinance 2009-106 amended. Councilman Orlowski, Chairman of the Environmental Control Committee: The Environmental Committee met in the Council caucus room on September 22, 2009 at 7:47 p.m. In attendance were committee members Barker, Brossard, and Orlowski; Council President Kennedy; Council members Gareau, Jones, Kearney, and Mahoney; Law Director, Service Director, CLS Director, Animal Warden, and guests. The Committee reviewed Ordinance 2009-112, an Ordinance amending Section 911.18 (Grievances and Appeals) of Chapter 911 (Sewers Generally) of the Streets, Utilities, and Public Services Code in order to clarify the city's process for resolving grievances regarding extraordinary sewer charges. The changes in this .Ordinance clarify the procedure for residents who incur an extraordinary sewer bill caused by an accident or emergency at the user's property. The Service Director, upon investigation, may make an adjustment to the user's sewer bill. This change gives the Service Director more discretion at handling these types of cases and allows for an appeal process if the user is dissatisfied with the Service Director's decision. The Committee by a vote of 3-0 recommends approval by all of Council. The meeting was adjourned at 8:57 p.m. Councilman Kearney, Chairman of the Public Safety, Health, and Welfare Committee: 1) The Public Safety Committee met Tuesday, September 22, 2009. Present were committee members Orlowski, Kearney, and Mahoney; Council President Kennedy; Council members Brossard, Barker, Jones, and Gareau; Law Director, Safety Director, CLS Director, and Animal Warden. First on the agenda was a C1, C2 Liquor Permit for Walgreens at 24590 Lorain Avenue. The Committee voted 3-0 to not object. 5
