Council Minutes of 06-21-2016 Schumann and Williamson; Mayor Kennedy, Finance Director Copfer, Safety & Service Director Glauner and guests. • Discussed first was Resolution 2016-68 which is a Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for the award of a contract to provide construction services for the Bradley Road Pump Station Rehabilitation Project, as detailed in the specifications on file with the City Engineer, and authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder. Director Glauner noted that the pump station is being replaced due to the age and condition of the existing facilities and to address any necessary Code upgrades. There are currently no capacity concerns at this station. However, there will be improvements that include select demolition and installation of the new pumps, etc. There will also be improvement to the building HVAC system. Upgrades will be comparable to the ones made at the Dover and Lebern pump stations. There will be an approximate 50% improvement in the flow and improvement in the grinders. Finance Director Copfer noted that Olmsted Township pays a portion of the project for its usage and fees. The committee voted 2-0 to recommend approval of Resolution 2016- 68. • Discussed last was Resolution 2016-72 which is a Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for the award of a contract to provide construction services for the Pine Basin Drainage Project, as detailed in the specifications on file with the City Engineer, and authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder. This project has been discussed by Council over the course of a year and a half. The Mayor noted that the City continues to make a legal effort to purchase the property through eminent domain. He also noted that the City and school board have had very constructive communications lately as well as cooperating with any measures to help move the project forward while the eminent domain process takes place. The committee voted 2-0 to recommend approval of Resolution 2016-72. The meeting was adjourned at 8:54 p.m. Councilwoman Hemann took a moment of personal privilege to welcome Commander Myers and to thank him for speaking and encouraging everyone to support the VFW. She is happy to serve as the Auxiliary Junior Vice President this year. She thanked Mrs. Myers as well. LETTERS & COMMUNICATIONS Letter from resident, Enrique Cubarrubia, is attached to these minutes. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Dennis Lambert, 25057 Carey Lane told the Mayor that he forgot to tell the new VFW Commander how much he appreciates the beer tent at the North Olmsted Homecoming. Lambert referenced the street signalization report given by Councilwoman Williamson. He asked how this will interface with the project of converting to LED lights? He asked the Finance Director two years ago where the $8 million is for the project, and she told him not to worry that's two years down the road. Now it's been two years. Lambert 6
