The following legislation will be considered for passage under suspension of the rules this evening: Second Reading: Resolution 2018-109. REPORTS Mayor Kennedy: • No Report. Director of Law Gareau: • On November 28th there was a meeting regarding the City of North Olmsted v. Alexander Gondeah case which is the Airbnb case. It is now concluded. The property will cease being an Airbnb property effective December 10, 2018. They already had some rentals there and they wanted to finish those up. At their request, they are going to vacate the premises by December 15, 2018 and put the property up for sale sometime in mid-January 2019. This should solve the issue with the property and the neighbors. If there are problems with noncompliance the City now has the ability to enforce it through the court, but I believe they will follow through as they have been cooperative up to now. • The past few days I have been attending legal seminars regarding topics such as: Ethics in Government, Open Meetings, Public Meetings and many other topics. I will also be doing this tomorrow to get caught up on different legal issues. • Congratulations to Saint Edward High School, they won their third state championship in five years. They have some North Olmsted athletes on the team that are active and key players so congratulations to them.
