Council Minutes of 9-15-2009 Healthcare providers who register with the Ohio Department of Health will be the first to distribute these vaccines. The priority for the vaccinations for the H1N1 swine flu is pregnant women first, healthcare providers, and those that work with children, and young people -anyone from age six months to twenty-four. This is a separate and different vaccination than the seasonal flu vaccine that will be coming out very soon. 9) Crime continues to fall throughout the northeast Ohio area and in the city of North Olmsted. The lone exception is thefts from automobiles. We remind residents to lock their automobiles at night. 10) Our fall brush roundup has begun. This will be a one pass through the city of North Olmsted. Please remember that brush is picked up weekly with the city's trash contractor. It simply needs to be bundled and put out at the curb, and the city will pick that up. 11) Service Director Limpert led our annual streets tour this past week with members of Council and others. Of the more than three hundred streets in North Olmsted, significant progress has been made over the last four years based upon the professional street rating program that the city had.

The city will continue to work with that list until all streets throughout the city are corrected. 12) Resolution 2009-103, which places additional restrictions on the installation and removal of the home run fence at our Diamond Number One baseball field, is on second reading today. The Mayor requested that the members of Council further discuss the impact of this legislation with Director Dailey.

In fact, the city is seeding authority over to the North Olmsted City Schools. He thinks this is very well-intentioned, but he would ask that Council consider and find the time to chat with Director Dailey and make sure they have the facts. Councilman Kennedy asked if there is a the fall brush pick-up schedule on the web. Service Director Limpert responded that there is not a formal schedule of what road they're going to get where because they do not know what they're going to find first. Residents should have had brush out last week. Law Director Dubelko: 1) On September lOt" the city was served with a lawsuit regarding a NOCOP vehicle. That has been referred to our liability insurance carrier for defense. 2) The Law Department has prepared rules, which have been passed by the city's Records Commission, which established rules of procedure for the Records Commission including establishing a process by which the Landmarks Commission can review all city records that are proposed for destruction in that manner to help better ensure that records that have local historical value may be preserved. 3) On September 10`", the city's Fair Housing Review Board headed by Councilwoman Nicole Dailey Jones and Assistant Law Director Carole Heyward, put on a seminar for realtors on fair housing law. It was very well attended. Approximately fifty people were 5
