Mayor Christman reported: 1) have received resignation from Mr. Richard Fet~ar from his position on the Landmarks Commission; 2) had already received resignation from Mr. Nick Del Giudice from Landmarks Commission and am recommending for Gouncil approval the appointment of Mrs. Betty Lord to replace his term.

Bsve sent this on to our Engineering Department. It will be a problem probably in the enforcement of these load limits; 4) would like to recommend that Council consider legislation which would ban the use of high phosphate detergents in the North Olmsted sewer system axes. Over the years, we have watched the results of similar bans in other areas with interest and can see a considerable savings in the cost of phosphate removal checvicals if such a ban were to be implemented. They new have law phosphorous detergents ahi.ch they had not had before and these would be permitted sad cause little or no inconvenience to the housewife. A11 major soap manufacturers new provide a low phosphate d:tergent and Consumers' Report of Decas~tar '76 shows them to be nearly equal in cluing power to the high phosphate detergents; 5) A11 Scouts Weekend is planned for June 3, 4 and 5th.
