Council Minutes of 9-15-2020 • Discussed was Ordinance 2020-100. An Ordinance amending the Traffic Control File of the City of North Olmsted to remove the no parking signs on Charles Road. Councilman Schumann noted these signs were likely put up decades ago when traffic was more prevalent at the nearby church. The residents have no issues removing the signs. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council.

Councilman Glassburn did not participate in the meeting. The committee briefly discussed putting Resolution 2020-93 back on the agenda on second reading this evening. The committee discussed approving it on suspension pending the executive session to get more information regarding the land pertaining to this project. The committee voted 2-0 to recommend to Council with suspension. Councilwoman Hemann asked for a moment of personal privilege. I would like to pass my condolences on to Emily Margaret Sweeney. They are the family of Patrick Sweeney. He is one of our most admired Ohio public servants, who passed away just a few short days ago. I had the pleasure of knowing the family well and actually follow Mr. Sweeney's advice carefully when it comes to how to interact with constituents. I think we could all learn from his service to the State of Ohio. I'd also like to remind everyone that our mask giveaway starts tomorrow, Wednesday the 16th it will be at Maple Intermediate School from 4-7 p.m.; Thursday the 17`x' it will be at Chestnut Intermediate School from 4-7 p.m.; Friday it will be at North Olmsted Middle School from 4-7 p.m. On Saturday the 19th, it will be at the JoAnn Fabric store at Great Northern Plaza from 10 a.m. — 2 p.m. I would like to say that I think they are all pretty excited. It turns out the Manager of the JoAnn Fabrics store is a North Olmsted resident and is pretty excited to have her store participating in this program. If any of you would like to jump in and help, we would love that. Director of Finance Copfer: • The City has received the Auditor's award with distinction for its 2019 audit.
