Council Minutes of 10-06-2009 Councilman Kearney made a motion to not object to the new Liquor Permit for Walgreens at 24590 Lorain Avenue. The motion was seconded by Councilman Orlowski and passed unanimously. No objection to the new Liquor Permit for Walgreens. 2) The next item on the agenda was related to Chapter 505 of the Codified Ordinances - Animals & Fowl. Many members on Council have received calls from residents wanting some changes to present laws pertaining to dog care and also the number of dogs a resident may have without causing disruption to the people that live close to them. Many guests were present and spoke their mind about complaints, and they were happy with having an open forum to air their gripes. Council could not provide answers to all of their questions at this time. He and Council hope to find a solution to the problems they face. Another Safety meeting has been set for October 13 at 7 p.m. to delve further into the Chapter 505 Animals and Fowl to work toward a resolution for these residents so that they may enjoy their homes the way that they had hoped to when they bought them in North Olmsted. Councilman Mahoney, Chairman of the Recreation, Public Parks, and Buildings Committee: 1) A Recreation, Public Parks, and Buildings Committee meeting was held on September 22, 2009 to discuss Ordinance 2009-109, which is an Ordinance to remove the prohibition on dogs in North Olmsted city parks and to permit the dogs in the parks. After a discussion and audience participation, it was decided to hold that particular Ordinance in the committee. 2) He indicated that since the representative from the North Olmsted Public Library is in attendance this evening, he had the opportunity to go over to our public library and view the Children's Area. In connection with the updated carpeting issues and the different type of safety concerns that were raised, the library really looks good. They did a great job, and she is to be commended for the work that was done and the manner in which it was handled. Mayor O'Grady asked Councilman Mahoney if there is additional information he is requiring with the dogs in the parks issue. Councilman Mahoney suggested talking about it after the meeting. Mayor O'Grady asked when Councilman Mahoney expects to schedule another meeting. Councilman Mahoney said probably October 27, 2009. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane said he would like to welcome the new Council Clerk. He asked if the city has a contract for leaf pick-up this year and the cost. He also asked when the schedule will distributed. Service Director Duane Lirnpert said as the Mayor mentioned in his report, the flyer should go out this week. The cost is approximately two hundred and ten thousand dollars. There is one more year that the city could go as an extension, which would be the same amount. Having this done by a contractor does work very well for North Olmsted. It has helped the staff concentrate in other areas like keeping up with streets and other projects around the city. 6
