Council Minutes of 12-15-2015 Productions to provide a fireworks display for the 2016 North Olmsted Fourth of July celebration. Councilman Kearney moved for adoption. The motion was seconded by Councilman Barker. Roll Call: Kearney, yes; Barker, yes; Williamson, yes; Brossard, yes; Schumann, yes; Hemann, yes; Limpert, no with comment. While I strongly enjoyed the Bicentennial celebration — I think it was a resounding success — I don't believe that we should have annual fireworks due to the cost. I know that we are working to try to get sponsorship for this, but there is still a significant amount of overhead costs. I look forward to supporting this in the future.

Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane said during Caucus, Director Glauner noted that the police cars that were going to be replaced would either go back into service in another department or wholesaled out. He said he would like to point out that now cities are careful about removing insignias and logos on the sides of the cars. He told a story about a plumber in Texas who traded in his truck and it ended up in Syria being used by ISIS with his name and phone number on the side of the truck. He cautioned about this.
