A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into a third agreement with Morris-Pontiac- GMC, Inc. dba Morris Cadillac-Buick-GMC, Inc. granting a license to access and utilize the Recreation Center private driveway in conjunction with its approved site plan and development, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Brossard made a motion to suspend the rules requiring three readings and formal committee review as this was discussed in Caucus and explained this evening during Director Gareau's report. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Williamson and passed unanimously. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane said this will be the third year for this easement granting them use of the Recreation Center driveway. He supports supporting North Olmsted businesses because they support the community. He asked for a reasonable explanation as to when this easement will stop or when they will complete the project. Gareau said this is not an easement; this is a license that is controlled by the city and is revocable by either party to the extent that it's limited in duration. It cannot be open forever. It expired, and the effective date is March 1, 2014 through March 1, 2015. The explanation that was given has to do with an issue with the EPA which delayed the commencement of construction, as well as a financing issue that caused a delay. It will expire, we will come back here and Council will vote on it. Mayor Kennedy said any frustration that the city may have is far less than Robert Morris feels in getting this project started. So, the city is going to support him 110%, and hopefully things start quickly and finish quickly. Lambert said he is not against supporting a business. There are a lot of projects that get started in communities and do not finish for a very long time. This is not an unusual question to ask Council. The community should have answers to when they anticipate completing their project. Councilman Brossard moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Williamson and passed unanimously. Councilman Barker said Morris does not sell Pontiac; it's Morris Cadillac. Resolution 2014-16 adopted 6-0. Resolution 2014-17 was introduced and placed on first reading by Mayor Kennedy. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into an amended agreement with Jeffrey A. Grusenmeyer & Associates, Inc. in order to provide additional professional services for improvements at the North Olmsted Recreation Center, and declaring an emergency.
