Council Minutes of 1 I -18 -2014 displeasure of the Ordinance with some residents also offering alternative suggestions. About ten residents indicated their approval of the Ordinance, eight did not agree with the Ordinance and two residents indicated that while they would like the city to cull deer, they were against the methods in this Ordinance. The common reasons cited by those in favor of the Ordinance were safety (specifically motorist safety and Lyme Disease) and to prevent landscape and garden destruction. Opponents of the Ordinance were concerned about stray arrows injuring people and /or pets and non - lethal and /or more human methods should be used first. Councilman Barker made a motion to hold Ordinance 2014- 64 in committee. The motion passed 7 — 0 and the meeting was adjourned at 9:18 p.m. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane referenced the use of street salt in North Olmsted. He spoke with Director Glauner, and Lambert was assured that the city has plenty of salt and was able to purchase the salt before the price increase. Lambert said he believes in conserving salt on the streets. You need salt on the main and secondary main streets. On small streets like his, the use of salt should be very restricted for reasons of cost and ecology. Lambert mentioned that there is a story on cleveland.com regarding Geoff Westerfield of the Ohio Division of Wildlife citing that it is the municipalities' responsibility to manage the deer population although Lambert pointed out that the State regulates hunting. He stated that the city should look into this more. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2014 -75 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its second reading.
