Council Minutes of 3/3/2009 was by a prominent union official, Mr. Hoffa, and the second was by a prominent Republican, Mr. John Boehner, from the State of Ohio. He found them to be very informative. One of the things he learned through reading the two position pieces is they are so diametrically opposed that it is extremely difficult for him to be able to figure out how two diametrically opposed positions come from the same piece of legislation. He simply couldn't figure it out. It doesn't appear to change National Labor Relations Board standards, but it does apparently have an effect on union certification process. He votes no for the reasons: one, he thinks the resolution process is something he would use for another means; second, he is just simply not in a position (to make this decision), and he will trust that the representatives in the State of Ohio can make the decision far better than he can. Roll call continued: Barker, no; Brossard, yes. The motion passed with five yes votes and two no votes. Resolution No. 2009-26 adopted.

Resolution No. 2009-29 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mayor O'Grady. A resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with the Cuyahoga County Board of Health for mosquito control and larval aerial applications in Bradley Woods, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Gareau moved for suspension of the rules requiring three readings and committee review, noting this is a project that had been undertaken on a yearly basis, but in the past several years it has been done every other year. It could best be known as the Kennedy and Gareau preservation act because the mosquitoes will carry you away on Barton/Bradley and throughout that area. This is a worthy piece of legislation.
