happy to provide our residents the ability to hear directly from NOPEC right here in the City of North Olmsted. So I would encourage your residents to please attend this meeting regarding the natural gas prices that we will be seeing in the future. Next, you will be receiving, if you didn't already today, I know Director Copfer received hers, a potential post office relocation comment period flyer in your mail. The post office, as you know, again, is not a City of North Olmsted function. We do not have anything to do with the building or where they're located. However, as you have heard me speak before, the building is in terrible condition, and I am pleased that the post office is taking comments from our residents regarding their relocation. Director Upton has been in contact with the real estate agents for the post office to make sure that they understand all of the available spaces here in the city for those functions. And again, as Council Members, I would ask that you please ask your residents to respond during this comment period so that the post office understands how much we need them in North Olmsted, but certainly would love to see them in a location that is much easier for our residents to be accessible, and to present its best face forward here in the City of North Olmsted. And then a couple of events to bring to Council's attention. On Saturday, April 12th, Juju's Dino Dash will be held at the North Olmsted High School; so that location has been changed. This is a 5K run/walk and a one mile run/walk event. It also includes a free kids dash for those eight years old and under. The kids dash starts at 8:45 a.m., while the 5K and one -mile run walk starts at 9:00 a.m. As you know, on June 3, 2024, Julian Miles Wood lost his life in an unprovoked act of violence. Julian's parents have organized this 5K to honor his memory, celebrate his life and give back in his name. All proceeds support scholarships for students and fund initiatives that give back to the youth in the North Olmsted community. Advanced registration is required. Next, the Egg-stravaganza will take place at North Olmsted Park from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturday, April 19th. This event manages to find a way to outdo itself every year. This year, in addition to the egg scramble, there will be a petting zoo, a DJ, free coffee, juice, donuts and more. The event is free, but registration is required. To register, visit the North Olmsted Recreation Center prior to April 16th, and I definitely encourage early registration, as space is limited and certain age groups might fill up faster than others. And finally, the City is hosting a North Olmsted Night at Progressive Field on August 1, 2025, when our Guardians take on the Minnesota Twins. We have a section reserved at a special group rate for North Olmsted residents. I encourage you to join me and your fellow North Olmsted neighbors for a fun night at the ballpark. In order to purchase tickets, please visit the Recreation Center. Tickets actually went on sale today, and within the first couple of hours, we've already sold over 50 tickets. So we're excited about that, and that, Mr. President, concludes my report. Council President Brossard: Thank you, Mayor. However, I think you left out one important detail about that night at the ballpark. Who's throwing out the first pitch? 04-01-25 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 2
