Council Minutes of 12 -16 -2014 AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Don Pangrac, 23470 Sharon Drive says there are at least 6 street lights that are out between Clauge and Dover Center Road. These have been out for over two and a half months. For the past three years, he has been concerned about the manhole at the corner of Bentley and Lorain Road. It's sinking deeper, and he has safety concerns. He asked when the lights are going to be lit and when the manhole will be repaired and /or replaced. Mayor Kennedy said the city relies on First Energy /CEI to service these lights. Pangrac said they could care less about the lights and it's not acceptable. Mayor Kennedy said as summer ends, the Service Dept. employees take note of lights that are out and then they are called in to First Energy. He will get this information to Pangrac. Council President Jones added that if the Mayor would think that a letter from City Council to First Energy would be helpful to resolve this issue, they would be happy to help. Mayor Kennedy said he will assess where they are and if they are not doing their job, then they can do a letter. Safety /Service Director Glauner stated that CEI has a website now so anyone can log on and report a light that needs to be serviced. Council President Jones wished everyone a happy holiday season and wonderful upcoming New Year. LEGISLATION Resolution 2014 -80 introduced by Mayor Kennedy was given its third reading.
