A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into consent and cooperation contracts with the State of Ohio, Department of Transportation, as necessary, on behalf of the City of North Olmsted, to grant authorization for public highway sign replacement on Interstate 480 including the State Route 10 interchange, and declaring an emergency. Councilman Barker made a motion to suspend the rules requiring three readings and formal committee review as this was discussed in Caucus this evening and so that the State of Ohio can start sign replacement as soon as possible. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Williamson and passed unanimously. Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane asked why the city has to give permission to the State to manage signs that belong to them. Is the city assuming responsibility for signs the city never had? Gareau stated that this request came from the State of Ohio. Section 2 of the Resolution specifically references that the city will bear the cost of any additional improvements besides the construction of the sign. There is additional language keeping the municipal right -of -way free and clear which the city does anyway. In his opinion, the city is not assuming any future responsibility of this signage.
