Council Minutes of 3-03-2020 • Discussed first was Resolution 2020-41. A Resolution directing the Administration to include in the next available annual sidewalk assessment program individually cited sidewalk segments found to be in violation of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted but not otherwise within the geographic scope of the then ongoing annual sidewalk assessment program. The Director of Planning & Community Development and the Director of Law expressed some concerns about the legislation.

Councilwoman Hemann Chairwoman of the Environmental Control Committee: The Environmental Control Committee met on Tuesday, February 25, 2020 at 7:14 p.m. Present were committee members Hemann, Glassburn and Williamson; Council members Brossard and Limpert; Mayor Kennedy, Director of Finance Copfer, Director of Human Resources Gallo, Director of Law Gareau, Director of Safety & Service Glauner, Director of Planning & Community Development Lieber and guests. • Discussed first was Resolution 2020-40. A Resolution authorizing the City to participate in the Ohio Department of Transportation's purchasing program for the purpose of securing construction services for the Mackenzie Culvert Project. Director Lieber said the culvert was inspected in 2019 by the Cuyahoga County Engineer and was found to be in need of replacement based on a scale of 1 to 10. Anything scored lower than a four is deemed in need of replacement. The Mackenzie Culvert scored a three. It will cost an estimated $325,000. Based on the cost, the Engineer suggested using a slip liner. This has the same life span as a complete replacement and provides the same protection. A slip liner would cost an estimated $160.000. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. • Discussed next was Resolution 2019-106. A Resolution authorizing the Mayor to enter into agreements with the City of Cleveland, Division of Water to establish a Municipal Utilities District, to restate the Water Services Agreement, and to provide for the transfer of Water Utility Assets from the City of North Olmsted. This legislation had previously been brought before Council and Council voted 6- 1 against the legislation. Resolution 2019-106 is a reintroduction of the previously rejected Resolution with no changes or new items. The committee reported there were no new pieces of information or contract terms from the City of Cleveland and no information has been updated from the City of Westlake litigation. Essentially, all items remain the same from the first introduction of the Resolution. There were no questions or comments from the committee or Council.
