<br />• Discussed Ordinance 2024-30. An Ordinance to make Appropriations for Capital Improvements
<br />for the City of North Olmsted Fire Station 1 for the Year Ending December 31, 2024. Councilman
<br />Glassburn reported the full proposal of $2.25 million for the capital improvement project was
<br />presented to Council, however, additional information was necessary to proceed, therefore the
<br />legislation was held in Committee by a vote of 3-0.
<br />• Lastly, discussed Ordinance 2024-29. An Ordinance to make Appropriations for Capital
<br />Improvements for the City of North Olmsted for the Year Ending December 31, 2024.
<br />Councilman Glassburn noted this piece of legislation included five projects: Clague Road, Old
<br />Town Hall, Springvale Bridal Suite, Spruce Equalization Basin, and North Olmsted Park. There is
<br />a new plan for underground pipes for the Spruce EO Basin project which will save money and
<br />offset increases that were inflation -related. Clague Road, Old Town Hall and the Springvale
<br />Bridal Suite were agreed to without much debate. However, there was long discussion
<br />regarding North Olmsted Park, so it was agreed by the Committee and the Administration to
<br />remove the North Olmsted Park project from the legislation and let it proceed without it. The
<br />legislation, as Amended, was favorably recommended 3-0, and the Committee Meeting
<br />concluded at 9:03 p.m.
<br />Councilman Glassburn moved to Amend Ordinance 2024-29 to remove the North Olmsted Park item
<br />from the legislation. The motion was seconded by Councilman Limpert and passed 7-0.
