Complete report was given at the council committee meeting the other night, 3) As requested by President Saringer, a report on use of city employees and equipment for Issue 24 was given to her. The report clearly establishes that employees utilized their own time in the questioned activities with the ex- ception of making the sign. It has not been established whether or not the sign was in violation; Mayor assumes that all questions on this matter have now been answered. This administration has always .tried to conduct itself within the letter of the law in all areas and will continue to do so. If an employee, because of his eagerness to support a most needed. city tax. issue, infringed upon the laws, .the administration will most certainly take action appropriate to that infringement, however, at this point, there has been. no infringement verified. 4) Tom Terbrack, Ken Mues, Rick Noble, Mike Gateau and Mayor met last week with the negotiating team from RTA and Maple Heights to begin negotiations for a new contract; plan to meet most Thursday afternoons throughout November and December. 5) Meeting was held with Director Wegrich, Cleveland Water Department and Mr. Cedroni, Commissioner of Cleveland Water Department, Service Director Noble, City Engineer Boyer and Mayor Petrigac to discuss the Cook Road water line.
