• The Rec Center has asked us to remind our community that because many families and residents and visitors enjoy this shared community space every day, and to help keep the facility clean and safe and inviting, we kindly ask that all recyclables be placed inside the designated receptacles located throughout the Rec Center. Please don't leave recyclables on the ground, around the outside of the receptacles, or in surrounding areas. Properly disposing of waste helps prevent litter from spreading, protects our grounds and wildlife, and ensures that the Recreation Center remains a pleasant place for all of us to gather. • This is a reminder to add to your calendars, next month on March 26th will be the State of the City event and this year it's going to be in a slightly different format to include a combined event with the school district. So the School Superintendent will also be giving his State of the Schools at the same time, and more details will come in the coming weeks. • Director Upton and I will be traveling to Washington, D.C. next Tuesday to meet with members of the U.S. Senate delegation and our congressmen to advocate for infrastructure investment in North Olmsted, just as we've done in years past. We will be discussing the importance of federal support for improvements to our roads, utilities, public facilities, and other essential systems that directly impact the safety, economic vitality, and quality of life for our residents. These conversations are an important step in ensuring our community remains competitive, resilient, and well -positioned for future growth. • And at the beginning of March, we will say goodbye to Director Upton. Under his leadership, we've seen the issuance of 192 business licenses, and reached the next level of engagement with businesses and in the community, that I've been looking for when I first took office; and to further showcase his determination, tonight the administration is proud to introduce Ordinance 2026-14, which, after tireless conversations and extensive work, will help facilitate the redevelopment of the Sears parcel at Great Northern Mall in Ward 4. Director Upton has been a tremendous part of our administration. I'll miss him personally and professionally, and of course, we wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors. We have posted the position, and are actively seeking a replacement to ensure as smooth a transition as possible, and that, Mr. President, concludes my report. Council President Brossard: Thank you, Mayor. Law Director Gareau, do you have a report this evening? Law Law Director Gareau: No report this evening, sir, thank you. Council President Brossard: And Director of Finance Radeff, do you have a report this evening? 02-1.7-26 COUndl Meeting Minutes rage 2
