• First on the agenda was 2025-46, an Ordinance Amending and Restating Section 957.01 of Chapter 957, (Alcoholic Beverages on Public Grounds) of the Codified Ordinances of the City of North Olmsted in order to permit alcoholic beverages to be sold and consumed at the Saturday in the Park Concert Series at Barton Bradley Park, and declaring an emergency. Director Pincheck explained that the 2025 Saturday Concert Series will be held at the North Olmsted Park, but because of the construction, the August 9 event will be held at the Barton Bradley Park. Council has previously approved legislation that permits the sale of alcohol at the North Olmsted Park for events such as Homecoming and the Saturday Concert Series, but has not yet approved legislation for the sale of alcohol at the Barton Bradley Park facility because events of this type have not been held there. Ordinance 2025-46 provides Barton Bradley Park as an additional location under Chapter 957.01 of our City Code for the use of alcoholic beverages to be offered for sale during specific events. It is important to note that the State of Ohio requires a map be submitted in order to obtain the required permit for the sale of alcoholic beverages at the park. The State's requirement must be met, which includes where the alcohol can be sold and consumed. The areas are, for example, in roped -off areas and not within certain distances of homes, and other areas so that a safe environment is created. Those are the same requirements which are met, and when a permit is requested and granted for the same use at the North Olmsted Park. Ms. Hemann made a motion to approve recommending to all of Council Ordinance 2025-46, seconded by Mr. Scarl. That motion passed 3-0. • Next on the agenda was Ordinance 2025-47, a Resolution authorizing the Director of Recreation and Public Engagement to advertise for bids for the award of a contract for the Springvale Ballroom driveway installation and improvements project. As detailed in specifications on file with the City Engineer and authorizing the Mayor, following approval by the Board of Control, to enter into a contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder. Director Pinchek discussed the upgrade to the Springvale Ballroom facility that was presented to Council during our annual budget meeting. The ballroom entrance will be redesigned to add a new driveway that will offer a drop-off area. The drop-off area will be in front of the current doorway and then continue to the parking lot, allowing guests direct access to the entryway without having to walk from the parking lot. The new design will allow easier access for bridal party entrances, which can then go directly to our newly upgraded bridal dressing room area, as well as for other guests of Springvale. The enhancement offers cover from inclement weather for all guests arriving at the Springvale facility. The design plan is one that was formulated several years ago, but never implemented, which will create a small savings in the area of design engineering. The estimated cost of the project is $94,000.00, and to be included in that will be an updated delivery area, which is the area directly to the right or south of the current entryway. Ms. Hemann made a motion to recommend 2025-47 to all of Council, seconded by Mr. Scarl. That motion passed 3-0 and my meeting concluded at 7:41 p.m. Thank you. Council President Pro Tempore Scarl: Thank you. 05-20-25 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 4
