Council Minutes of 8-3-2021 Jeff Sturgeon 3092 W. 231 Mr. Sturgeon said he was here to discuss the parking on the street as Councilman Kelly brought up. He said in 2000 the decision was made to put two to three foot of crushed stone on the non -hydrant side and it was recommended people pull over as far as possible so the cars would not be in the way. Mr. Sturgeon said he believed Director Gareau was a Councilman at the time and had legislation drawn up to prohibit parking. Director Gareau said as he recalled it when talking to Councilman Kelly the crushed stone was put down but there was the problem of people parking in front of other people's homes and some people had put grass down and did not like people parking on their grass. Mr. Sturgeon the crushed stone had disappeared over the past 20 years and some people have put stakes in the ground. He said he thought it would be a good idea to have some public discussion on this topic. Mr. Sturgeon said he doesn't know if parking is allowed on a double yellow lined street, but in Fairview Park 220th is a double yellow line and parking is allowed on it. He said he also wanted to know why 231 was a double yellow line as it seems like a side street. He said Alexander, Coe, and most streets where the speed limit is 25 mph there is no yellow line. Mr. Sturgeon also asked if there could be an update on what is happening with the bathrooms at Clague Park. Director Lieber said it is in the engineering process right now and when the package is ready to go out to bid it will come before City Council. Mr. Sturgeon asked Council to consider a public meeting to discuss W. 231St Streets parking. Marjorie Bowden 23492 Marion Rd. Ms. Bowden said her concern is she was attacked by five pit bulls in her own yard on May 23 and its now August and she wants to know what is going on with this issue. Director Gareau said he gave an update on this earlier in the meeting and he briefly highlighted what he talked about earlier. He said the one thing he forgot to mention was the City did attempt to seek a warrant to enter the home in an attempt to locate the dogs and the request was denied. He said in terms of timing in the earlier meeting it was discussed the City server was shut down for a significant period of time. Also, our animal control officer was unavailable due to illness for a period of time, there were appeal rights that had to be available before further action could be taken so it is taking time, but the proper actions are in place to get the relief the City is seeking carried out. Director Gareau said it is going to take more time, but it is his understanding the dogs are not in North Olmsted. The City will continue to aggressively enforce what it can. E
