Council Minutes of 2/3/2009 and is dependent upon the type and permeability of the soil. Rear yard rain gardens may be a viable solution in conjunction with the piping. Two additional detention tanks are proposed. One tank at Claque Park for the LeBern pump station and one close to the Dover Center pump station. A 249,000 gallon tank is proposed at Claque Park and a 235,000 gallon tank at the Dover Center pump station. Cost for both tanks is approximately $5 million. Without the removal of I & I from the sanitary sewer system, it is not likely these two tanks will contain the water from a 10 year storm. Early this summer, a three man crew will begin testing homes in the Deerfield area. Possibly 7-8 homes a day will be tested for improper discharge of storm water to sanitary sewers. After the testing, alternative methods of abatement will be considered. Testing of all homes will continue for years to come. Mayor O'Grady commented that was a very good report. The only comment he has is he hopes that the I & I testing in Deerfield will begin by spring. Council Member Jones, chairperson of the Streets & Transportation Committee advised that the committee will meet Tuesday, February 10, at 7 p.m. where the committee will be receiving the streets survey presentation from the administration regarding the streets that are scheduled to be rehabilitated for 2009. Councilman Mahoney, chairperson of the Recreation, Public Parks & Buildings Committee: 1) The committee met this evening, February 3, 2009, at 7 p.m. Present were President of Council Kennedy, Council Members Ryan, Barker, Jones, Orlowski, Kearney, and Mahoney; the Mayor, and Community Life Services Director. The committee discussed Resolution 2009-7, sponsored by Mayor O'Grady and Councilman Mahoney. The resolution accepts a donation of field reconditions from the North Olmsted Hot Stove League in order to construct a dugout for Claque Road #1, provide for a maintenance contract for Diamonds #1 and #5 at North Olmsted Park and Diamonds #1 and #2 at Claque Road Park with an optional service for the construction and restoration of the infield and right outfield for the city park at Chestnut Intermediate School and declaring an emergency. Community Life Services Director Dailey indicated that he had several conversations with representative from the schools, and they have no questions or concerns in regards to this legislation. Guests included Mr. Ron Tallon, Jr:, representing the Hot Stove League, who offered information and input. So that members of the general public in attendance tonight know, this is an agreement and understanding that the city has had in long standing with the Hot Stove League. It's a benefit to the league itself, and to the citizens of North Olmsted, and the children and adults who use our ball diamonds. A committee motion was made by the committee chairperson to accept and recommend the approval of Resolution 2009-7 to the full Council, and the motion was seconded by Mr. Ryan and passed unanimously. Councilman Gareau wondered if Hot Stove, the city, and the schools were all on the same page with respect to the proper conditioning of the diamonds. Mr. Mahoney noted that the Hot Stove and the school officials had a conversation regarding this and there is no longer a point of concern. The issue has been resolved. 6 {
