Council Minutes of 12-19-2023 Councilman Scarl asked when the culling will begin, how long it will last and what times of day is it active. To which Director Scofield stated it will begin in January and will run through the end of March, and the marksmen will begin after sunrise and end before sunset, and she would let Councilman Scarl know if they are active at night. Councilman Limpert asked Director Scofield to keep in mind that the first week of January the kids are still out of school. To which Director Scofield replied that she does not believe they will start that early but will make them very aware of that point. Councilwoman Williamson asked for an update on the Deer Management Program at the next Safety Committee Meeting, with regard to notices, how many deer, what the quota is, etc. Connie English 5009 E. Park Drive Ms. English came to Council to state her opposition to the cell phone tower at the North Olmsted Community Park. Chris Kmiecik 23727 Elm Road Ms. Kmiecik came to Council to state her opposition to the cell phone tower at the North Olmsted Community Park. She asked Council what is being done to address their concerns, and stating that she is not getting a response from Council. Council President Brossard asked Director Gareau if he could advise the resident of the repeal process. Director Gareau stated the process to repeal the legislation could begin by the Administration or a member of Council repealing the prior legislation. Although there was no referendum on that particular piece of legislation, presumably a repeal could also begin by an initiative petition as well. Council President reminded Ms. Kmiecik that this is not the time for back and forth conversation, that the time for that is one-on-one with any member of Council or the Administration, or by attending Committee Meetings when pieces of legislation are being discussed and considered. Ms. Kmiecik noted that there are lots of people in North Olmsted who do not want this cell tower. LEGISLATION Ordinance 2023-133 introduced by Mayor Jones was given its third reading.
