Jeff Sturgeon: Zamboni. There you go. Yeah. He painted that. If you look at some of our trucks and stuff, you'll see pinstripings on the rims. He was known to put flames on things. The guy had vehicles that would be at Autorama, Cleveland Autorama, with his paint jobs on it that won awards because people knew he knew how to lay out flames and paint them. I thank the Mayor for lowering the flag for half. Really, I think that says a lot. Yeah, we lost. It was a big, huge loss. A big, huge loss. It's unbelievable. About a month ago, Tony gave me a sign that he, when he cleaned out the sign area, gave me the original West 231 sign that he had found. He worked on that clock on the Lorain Road at the fire station. I think everybody drives by the fire station. Look at that clock, remember, Tony. How many other people in what other city would take somebody to work in their service department. Tony was so committed to getting that clock working. He made a couple parts, he talked to people in other countries. He went up there and fixed it. He was so proud of that. I think everybody, next time you drive by the, what is that, number two? You drive by number two. Look at that clock and remember my good friend, Tony. Daniel Ridgway: Good evening. Daniel Ridgway, R-1-D-G-W-A-Y. I live a long way away from here. I'm out on the far east side of Geauga County, but I'm here tonight representing the Cuyahoga County Public Library as Director of Facilities. I would like to just extend our sincere thanks to the Mayor, Mr. President, and the rest of City Council for the consideration of our lease extension and allowing us to continue our wonderful partnership with the residents of North Olmsted and as well, our continued financial investment in the property. So, thank you. President Pro Tern Scarl: Thank you. Bruce Bruehler: Good evening. My name is Bruce Bruehler at 4456 Root Road. I'm the first resident [inaudible], I'm the first resident on the west side of Root Road. I butt -up against the property of Ganley. For those of you who have been here a while, as I have, Ganley said they'd be great neighbors when they moved in. They aren't. The piece of property behind, between my house and Ganley's was recognized as a wetlands, and part of the deal when Ganley moved in here is that they would maintain that property as a natural part of North Olmsted. In August, I wrote a letter to the manager up at Ganley complaining... I wasn't complaining, I notified them that there's a dead tree, that if it fell, there was a possibility it could hit my garage. No big deal. It wouldn't cause much damage, but I thought I'd put them on notice. Three, about four weeks later, they cut down five live trees before they cut down the dead tree. Left it all laying there. They destroyed the whole ambience of that neck of woods. There is no reason for it. I don't know if the city has an arborist, but the city's supposed to be keeping an eye on Ganley and what they do with that piece of property, they haven't. They're supposed to maintain the fence between Ganley and my property, they don't. I have to pick up garbage every spring that blows off from their parking lot into my woods. They're unresponsive, and as the gentleman here was talking about snow removal, they have 500 feet of footage on the resident's side of this road, 02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes Page
