Council Minutes of 10-03-2023 • Director Gareau stated that he has been working with the Law Director of Bay Village, Mark Barbour, to revisit updates to the contract terms regarding the responsibilities of the Animal Control Officer shared between the two cities. He advised that an updated piece of legislation will most likely be presented to Council soon, and is looking to wrap this up shortly. Director of Finance Copfer: • The August Summary and Detailed Monthly Financial Statements were emailed to Council, the Administration and other representatives on September 27th. • Additionally, the annual information filing with EMMA was filed on September 261h, which includes required disclosures that we agreed to in our bond covenants, and while we have bond outstanding, we will continue to do this. Councilman Limpert, Chairman of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee did not have a Committee report. However, Mr. Limpert moved to Amend Ordinance 2023-95 to correct the acreage amount of the property being rezoned. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Williamson. Roll Call: Yes: Limpert, Williamson, Scarf, Gilchrist, Madden, Hemann, Glassburn No: None Motion carried. Ordinance 2023-95 Amended by a vote of 7-0. Councilwoman Hemann, Chairwoman of the Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee: The Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee met on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, at 5:31 p.m. Present were Committee Members Hemann and Scarf, Recreation and Public Engagement Director Pinchek and Special Assistant to the Mayor Massarolo. • Discussed Resolution 2023-100. Ms. Hemann reported that Director Pinchek began by explaining that the dredging project at Springvale is for the pond that is at the first tee and that it is an annual project. The project is always done in the fall/winter months well after the golf season has ended to not interfere with revenue. The dredging is done primarily for the purpose of preventing algae from forming and assist with reducing sediment that has collected over the year. The project will use approximately 3-5 cubic yard of fill to increase the capacity of the pond water. The project is estimated to cost approximately $50,000.00 and will take about a week to complete. The funds will come from the Springvale budget and Waste Water Treatment budget. The legislation was favorably recommended by a vote of 2-0. • Also discussed was Resolution 2023-101. Ms. Hemann reported that Director Pinchek addressed the fact that the ADA ramp project had been discussed during budget hearings and that the project is now ready to be put out for bid. Councilman Glassburn, Chairman of the Finance Committee did not have a report. There have been discussions regarding various estimates that are in the range of approximately $70,000.00. The project consists of enhancing the existing handicap ramp on the side of the building which leads directly into the ballroom behind the stage. Currently, there is a one-person elevator type lift. The new ramp will be more family friendly and will allow a family to enter the facility together rather than be separated as it currently exists. Director Pinchek noted the fact that $35,000.00 of the funds will be coming from Cuyahoga County Council and that we will put in another $35,000.00 or less, depending on the actual bids. The city is not required to match the $35,000.00 from the County so in the event of a lower bid, the City will save money on its portion. The legislation was favorably recommended by a vote of 2-0 and the Committee Meeting concluded at 5:39 p.m.
