Columbia and Lorain right-of-way acquisition, and this process is continuing to progress with appraisals expected shortly. • And finally, the Forest School site grading is set to begin later this month for that housing development project. • Finally, this Saturday at the high school near the baseball field and pavilion, we will be having the Annual City's Boo Bash and Trunk or Treat event. The Boo Bash runs from noon until 3 p.m. and the Trunk or Treat runs from noon until 2 p.m. Mr. President, that concludes my report. Council President Brossard: Thank you, Mayor. Director of Law Gareau, do you have a report this evening? Law Law Director Gareau: • 1 do. That's a tough act to follow, but I have a couple things to update you on, one of which the Mayor has touched upon with Forest Commons, the development. The city last week closed on its purchase of that small strip of real estate, that kind of runs north and south between the parcel and the access onto Stearns. We closed on that purchase. We now have title to it. We expect to now proceed with the closing on the actual sale of the whole parcel, including the newly acquired parcel, so that that project can get going, as the Mayor reported, with work to be done later this month. • We also finished and have completed, the Mayor has executed, the agreement for the Chestnut, Maple, and Pine property purchases, and that's been taken care of, that's not going to close for a while, until after the new school is completed. You're talking about a couple years until it's completed and opens, is opened, and the other school is closed, but that's been buttoned up, and that's going to be ready to go, and should provide some additional opportunities for development here in the city, as the Mayor and Director Upton have advised from time to time. So it's a lot going on in North Olmsted and I just wanted to bring up the date on those two issues. 1.0 07 25 Council Meeting Minutes 'age 5
