This is a major economic development project for our City that we are extremely excited about. • Work to complete the much-needed renovations to the kitchens at the North Olmsted Senior Center and Community Cabin should be completed within the next two weeks, as well as the installation of the new ADA accessible ramp at Springvale Ballroom. • This fall, the Fall Westside Flea will take place from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 14th at the North Olmsted Community Park. The event will feature over 100 vendors. • In addition, the Frostville Museum will host two fall events this month. An antique vintage arts and crafts market will take place from 9:00 a.m. —1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 21st. • Then on Sunday, September 29th, from 11:00 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., the Museum will host Pumpkinville in The Valley. Admission is $2.00 with children age two and under admitted for free. And don't forget that they have a wonderful Summer Farmer's Market at Frostville every Saturday through October 26th from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. • North Olmsted's Department of Recreation and Public Engagement's Boo Bash and the North Olmsted Police Department's Trunk or Treat will both take place between noon and 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 51h, at the North Olmsted Community Park. Children are asked to dress in costume. Trunk or Treat will happen from noon until 2:00 p.m., with Boo Bash happening from 12:00 noon until 3:00 p.m. It's crazy that we're already talking about Trunk or Treat, but here we are in September, and that, Council Members, concludes my report for this evening, thank you. Council President Brossard: Thank you, Mayor. Director of Law Gareau, do you have a report this evening? Law Director Gareau: Thank you, Mr. President, I do. • For some period of time going back, probably almost a year now, I've been kind of bringing you up to date every now and again on the Kava Bar and things that have been taking place with respect to that property. Also had mentioned some time ago about the owner, David Kovach, who was facing a number of different charges in the Court of Common Pleas relative to drug activity that was taking place at the Kava Bar. • So we have two updates. First, Mr. Kovach, on the 31st of July, entered a plea to guilty of trafficking, an offense of 29250382, which is an F-3, and received his sentence. Additionally, I had advised you, that as part of the agreement, that the City had reached, and the Law Department had negotiated for the Kava Bar itself, there had been an appeal taken from the Building Commissioner's decision to the BZBA. They lost. They took that to the Court of Common Pleas, lost, and it was before the Court of Appeals. We had an agreement that they would cease operations by September 1st. This morning, I personally stopped by, and the premises have been vacated and the Kava Bar is closed. So I think that was a good result that the City felt was extremely important to advocate our position, and we were successful in doing so. I'm not sure where Mr. Kovach is going to be relocating, if at all, but it won't be in North Olmsted. So thank you Mr. President that concludes my report. 09-03-24 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 2
