Council Minutes of 08-18-2015 AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane addressed the resignation of Service Dept. Secretary, Molly Kelly. She is like some of the other good people that have worked at this city at the ground level — always there, always consistent. Whenever he needed something regarding garbage pick-up or a burned out lamp post, she always took care of it right away. She was good at following up and will be a tough person to replace. She is indicative of the many good people that have worked for this city that are consistently there all of the time serving the people. It's a shame to see her go. Lambert asked Councilman Kearney if he is a member of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Workers Union. Councilman Kearney replied that he is not. Lambert asked Mayor Kennedy if the city is starting sewer work on his street. Safety/Service Director Glauner said they are connecting the two sewers that dead end in that area. There is a fluctuation of hydraulic pressure on the west side of the street, and the city is connecting it over to relieve some of that pressure. Lambert said the sewers tip from his end of the street and go downhill towards Allendale, and they exit off the south end of this development into the Metroparks. He requested that Glauner check the engineering of this issue. He asked Glauner if they are enlarging the sewer, and Glauner said not that he is aware of.
