Because of the destruction of hurricane Andrew, the city collected goods and money for the victims in Florida and Louisiana. We were fortunate to have Senator John Glenn attend our Ho~necoaning on Saturday afternoon to kick off our collection campaign. During the weekend, we collected approximately $200 in cash and several thousand dollars in goods, which was then donated to the Salvation Army. Law Director Gareau reported: 1) A hearing was held in the Court of Appeals with regard. to the Lester case. A briefing schedule was set, however, the plaintiff failed to file a brief according to the schedule. We plan to call this to the attention of the Court of Appeals; and, presumably, the case should be dismissed as a result of this omission. 2) A deposition was taken yesterday in a personal injury case dealing with a young man who ran into a delineator stake on a tree lawn on Chase Drive. A motion for summary judgment will soon be filed. 3) A pre-trial hearing was held on the case of Packer vs. the City of North Olmsted, which is a false arrest action against Officer Jandeeka and the Police Department. After having completed discovery, a motion for summary judgment was filed last week. Within. the next month or so, briefs will be filed; hopefully, we will be successful in having this case dismissed. 5) We are currently preparing a brief to be submitted to the Court of Appeals with regard to the Eliza Jennings case.
