Councilman Barker, Chairman of the Public Safety, Health& Welfare Committee: The Public Safety Committee met Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at 7:45 p.m. Present were committee members Barker, Williamson and Brossard; Council President Jones; Council members Kearney, Limpert and Schumann; Mayor Kennedy, Finance Director Copfer, Law Director Gareau and Safety & Service Director Glauner. • Discussed first was Ordinance 2016-56 which is an Ordinance amending and re- establishing Chapter 561 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted entitled "Criminal Activity Nuisances" in order to include commercial property in said chapter. The city has had a residential ordinance regarding nuisance violations for a few years and is now adding commercial properties to this ordinance to have a tool to help with some businesses that police and fire have had to respond to for a variety of reasons multiple times. There was brief discussion and a motion was made by Councilman Barker to recommend approval of Ordinance 2016-56 with an amendment to add commercial property where applicable in the Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Councilman Brossard, and the committee voted 3-0 to recommend approval of Ordinance 2016-56 as amended. • Discussed next was Resolution 2016-57 which is a Resolution authorizing the Director of Planning & Development to solicit bids for the demolition and removal of dangerous buildings located at 5261 Berkshire Drive as a public nuisance; and further authorizing the costs to be certified as a tax lien upon said real property pursuant to section 1331.05 of the Codified Ordinances, and declaring an emergency. This resolution speaks for itself as this is a particular property that has been an issue for quite a few years. There was a brief discussion and a motion made by Councilman Barker to recommend approval of Resolution 2016-57. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Williamson, and the committee voted 3-0 to recommend approval of Resolution 2016-57. • Discussed last was Ordinance 2016-58 which is an Ordinance amending the Traffic Control File of the City of North Olmsted to eliminate through traffic in the right hand lane of Clague Road at its intersection with Lorain Road, for northbound and southbound traffic thereby making such lanes "Right Turn Only", and declaring an emergency. There was very brief discussion pertaining to this Ordinance. It is the opinion of the Safety and Engineering Departments that this will help with the traffic flow of northbound and southbound traffic at this busy intersection. Councilman Barker made a motion to recommend approval of Ordinance 2016-58. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Williamson, and the committee voted 3-0 to recommend approval of Ordinance 2016-58. The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 p.m. 2
