REPORTS Mayor Jones: • Mayor Jones' report was as follows: "Tonight we remember the Wood family of North Olmsted who were involved in yesterday's stabbing in the parking lot of the Giant Eagle Supermarket. We especially remember three year-old Julian Wood and his mother Margo, who continues to recover from multiple shoulder wounds at St. John Medical Center, and we keep the family in our thoughts and our prayers. I know that all members of our City Council and all of our North Olmsted residents will join me in expressing their condolences to the family as they grieve this terrible loss in this random act of violence. This was a terrible tragedy for our entire community and it comes just 22 days shy of one year, after last year's shooting at the same Giant Eagle. Our Police Department continues its ongoing investigation of the crime as we come together as a community and attempt to heal and move forward. I'm once again extremely proud of the work done by our safety forces, and for their compassion and swiftness of their response. Our city is providing grief counseling to our employees and anyone who is in need of those services." Director of Law Gareau: • No report.
