REPORTS
<br />Mayor Jones:
<br />Thank you, Mr. President. Good evening, members of Council.
<br />• After several months of hard work on the part of our Director of Public Safety, Jennifer
<br />Scofield, our police and fire chiefs, Lieutenant Fiorito, Captain Peters, and Joe Belushki,
<br />I'm delighted to share with you that on December 16th, we will transfer calls for
<br />dispatch for Olmsted Falls and Olmsted Township to our dispatch center.
<br />• The City has hired four additional full-time dispatchers. Work is nearly complete on a full
<br />renovation of the North Olmsted Dispatch Center inside the police department. That
<br />includes new carpet, paint, electrical, new dispatch consoles, plus additional radio and
<br />telephone equipment, AT&T will be porting all 10 -digit telephone numbers for Olmsted
<br />Falls and Olmsted Township on that day, and in addition, as Council knows, as they had
<br />passed this legislation, we've renewed a three-year agreement with the City of Fairview
<br />Park for police dispatching for that community. I'd also like to thank Service Director
<br />Kearney and his team, including Ryan and Caleb, for all of their hard work in helping us
<br />complete the renovation, and I want to commend the police and fire department
<br />leadership for all of their extra efforts in this project.
<br />• The North Olmsted Kiwanis Club and North Olmsted High School Key Club are hosting
<br />Breakfast with Santa from 9 until 11 a.m. this Saturday at the North Olmsted
<br />Community Cabin, so if you know anyone who has not signed up yet for that event,
<br />please let them know that seating is limited.
<br />• The Frostville Museum is hosting their Christmas Trash and Treasures event on all
<br />Saturdays in December, the 7th, 14th, and 21st at Frostville from 30 a.m. until 1 p.m.
<br />And our city's Department of Recreation and Public Engagement will host its annual
<br />Holiday Hangout this Sunday, December 8th, from 2 until 5 p.m. at Springvale. There will
<br />be all sorts of family -friendly fun. Santa will be the guest of honor, there will be games,
<br />crafts, music, and food. Registration is required through the Recreation Department for
<br />this free event.
<br />The North Olmsted Arts Commission is hosting a Holiday Concert from 4 until 6 p.m. on
<br />Sunday, December 15th at Springvale, featuring musicians of Symphony West. The
<br />orchestra, which originated in North Olmsted in the early 1970s, is now conducted by
<br />Arts Commission member Jacob Campbell. Tickets are $30 each, and that includes
<br />drinks, finger foods, dancing, and the concert, and the tickets can be purchased through
<br />the Recreation Center online and will also be available at the door on the day of the
<br />event, and that, Mr. President, concludes my report.
<br />Council President Brossard:
<br />Thank you, Mayor. Director of Law Gareau, do you have a report this evening?
<br />Law Director Gareau:
<br />Thank you, Mr. President, I do.
<br />• It's been quite some time since I had the occasion to speak to you about the Westbury.
