Council Minutes of 11-19-2019 replaced between Lorain Road and Duane Road along with road resurfacing. Cleveland Water would have awarded $658,063 for this project. Director of Law Gareau: • The opioid prescription litigation pending in the Northern District of Ohio is proceeding. • This past week the owners of BIW properties, which own Aloft and Burntwood, notified us that some of their assets were transferring to a separate entity. It is going to be the same principals, just a different entity. They are a signatory to a community reinvestment area abatement agreement. In this agreement they are required to get the City's consent to transfer. The Department of Law has reviewed the deed, the assignment, the original CRA and proposed documents of consent and find them to be in good order.

Bowen addressed the roof and stated it is in good repair. The issue causing the damage to the insulation and roof interior is actually being caused by the deteriorating exterior fascia. There is a gap that is allowing air flow to enter the rink and other things inside the rink are causing the ceiling on the interior to be damaged. The next portion of concern is the existing 1998 dehumidification unit. The unit is essentially too large and causes too much outside air to be ventilated at a rate of 100%. The unit is in good condition and it is recommended to be reconditioned for a significant savings instead of replacement. The reconditioned unit should meet a 20 year life expectancy. Another issue is the existing air handling unit. It is not necessary and it is proposed to be disconnected. Essentially it pushes air around inside the rink and creates a rain cloud, which is also playing a role in the interior damage to the ceiling and insulation.
