REPORTS Mayor O'Grady: 1) Welcome back to Council. 2) Heat advisory is in effect. To take precautions to protect the health of all our citizens during this extreme hot weather, especially senior citizens and the very young, people should limit time outside and make sure to drink plenty of water to be well hydrated. We also need to work at conservation of energy. Electricity used during extreme hot periods is very high, and the result is that entire grids can fail. To protect from having that happen, currently the Illuminating Company is doing rolling blackouts in North Olmsted wlww~
