Council Minutes of 5-15-2018 Hemann and Williamson; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Safety & Service Glauner and guests. • Discussed was Resolution 2018-47. A Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for rock salt for roadway ice and snow removal for use by the City of North Olmsted, as detailed in specifications on file and further authorizing the Mayor to enter into a contract with the lowest and best bidder, after Board of Control approval. Director Glauner noted the one year contract with our current vendor Crystal Minerals is expiring. The City will continue our practice of creating our own salt contract outside of the state bid which allows us to receive the salt as we need it. The Committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Charles Dial 27959 Gardenia Drive Mr. Dial wanted to thank the Service Department and Waste Water Treatment Plant for their help the day he got back from a trip. He had an issue with sewage in the basement and as part of the solution, he made arrangements with the Waste Water Treatment Plant to ensure there wasn't a blockage on the city's end. He wants everyone to know the Waste Water Treatment Plant did a good job for him. Mr. Dial continued saying this same day was a very windy day and before his plumber arrived a tree in his tree lawn blew down blocking the street, sidewalk and driveway. The Service Department came out right away and chopped the tree up and things ended well. Mr. Dial also said the Cleveland City Water Department has gone to monthly billing so they can get three monthly billing service charges rather than one. He said the service charge is around $11 which is an absolutely absurd number. Mr. Dial would like the City to keep this filed away and when the opportunity comes up to do something about it, to raise this issue. Dan Slattery 6716 Warrington Drive Mr. Slattery said this past week they discovered the house at 6744 Warrington is going to be rented out on Airbnb. He said he does not feel it is appropriate for a residential neighborhood to have transient people in the neighborhood day in and day out. Mr. Slattery said the house has four bedrooms and is renting each room separately. He also stated one can rent part of a room and share it with someone else if they want. He said he thinks this crosses a zoning line. Mr. Slattery asked City Council to research this issue. He said he also believes Rocky River and other communities in the area are looking at addressing this same issue. Mayor Kennedy responded if everyone is up here for the same reason, he would be happy to setup a meeting with everyone to talk about this. 3
