Councilman Limpert Chairman of the Streets & Transportation Committee: The Streets & Transportation Committee met on Tuesday, January 28, 2020 at 7:20 p.m. Present were committee members Limpert, Kelly and Glassburn; Council members Brossard, Hemann, Schumann and Williamson; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Safety & Service Glauner and guests. • Discussed first was Resolution 2020-24. 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, after approval by the Board of Control, to enter into a contract with the lowest and best bidder. Director Glauner explained the City goes to bid outside of the State program in order to have extra flexibility and not take extra salt the City might not need. While it is higher than the state bid, it has been a better approach as it has allowed us to receive salt in a timelier manner and to get the salt when it is needed. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. • Discussed next was Resolution 2020-25. A Resolution to authorize an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation to detour traffic from Interstate 480 onto Stearns and Lorain Roads during two (2) separate ten (10) day periods, with dates to be determined, during ODOT's resurfacing project. Director Glauner said this does not impact through 480 traffic and those leveraging the on -ramps would be those already planning to use the Stearns or west Lorain road on/off ramps. There was some discussion on if this would delay school or other traffic. The Safety Department did not anticipate delays and noted it would be monitored and adjusted appropriately if needed. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. • Discussed last was Resolution 2020-23. A Resolution declaring the necessity of the construction and repair of certain sidewalks in the City of North Olmsted by the abutting property owners; the construction, repair, and assessment of the costs of sidewalks in certain cases by the City, and declaring an emergency. This is a continuation of the Sidewalk Program. There was discussion around recent citing's of residents around North Olmsted High School because of issues with the sidewalks and the school's emergency evacuation plan. There was talk about working with the residents to take advantage of the costs of the Sidewalk Program. The committee voted 3-0 to hold in committee. The committee met again this evening and voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. 3
