Council Minutes of 12-17-2019 Hemann, Limpert and Williamson; Council President Jones; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Director of Law Gareau, Director of Safety & Service Glauner, Director of Planning & Development Lieber, Councilman elect Kelly and guests. • Discussed was Ordinance 2019-108. An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into contracts for the deposit of public monies with the institutions designated by Council as depositories for the active and interim account of the City, and declaring an emergency. This is something that is done every five years and allows the Mayor to enter into agreements with these local banks so they can handle the City's money. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council with suspension. Councilman Schumann asked for a moment of personal privilege. He said he would like to add to the sentiment. I am going to miss Mr. Kearney and awful lot and I hope he texts me during the day sometime and says hi. Councilman Limpert asked for a moment of personal privilege. I made my comments to Councilman Kearney in private and he knows what those are. Thank you. Councilwoman Hemann asked for a moment of personal privilege. I want to tell Councilman Kearney how much I've always appreciated his support on Council. I am going to truly miss our conversations that usually started out, "Kearney, it's Hemann," or "Hemann, it's Kearney." I will miss you Mr. Kearney and thank you for all you have done for us and for me.

An Ordinance (1) exempting retail establishments in the City of North Olmsted from Cuyahoga County Ordinance 02019-0005, creating a new Chapter 1304 of the Cuyahoga County Code and establishing a countywide ban on disposable bag usage in retail establishments; and (2) creating new Chapter 761 of the Business Regulation Code of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted entitled "Retail Disposable Bag Recycling," and declaring an emergency, as amended. The amendment was passed yesterday. It outlined how the recycling would work and that it would be internal to a business rather than external like in a parking lot. The meeting tonight was to catch everyone up as the activity on this issue seems to move daily, sometimes hourly. Council has received in general about 23 to 25 e-mails on this subject. Several of those were from nonresidents. Each Councilmember has received several phone calls and that tally is a little harder to report. The City of Cleveland opted to extend implementation to July 1, 2020 and that is voted 2
