Mayor Christman reported: 1) have received a proposal from the Department of Transportation for the reeurfacitig of Coluabia Rd. from Braokpark Rd. to North Olmsted's north corporation limit - a lsasgth of 1.71 miles. Our portion of this project would be $12,32fl. Would like to recommend that Council favorably consider this and pees the required legislation. Requested same be put into Committee; 2) had previously submitted the name of Mr. Fred Carlton for appointment to the Board of Zoning Appeals - received a phone call from him this week requesting that his name be withdrawn from consideration of the appointment. Have not chose another appointment for this slot yet. Mr. West asked if they are going to repave that portion of Columbia Rd. are they $aying that relocation of 2S2 is so far off that they want to spend money on that portion. Mayor Christman commented no - he does not think that is it: about 10 years ago they resurfaced it and it is in bad condition especially Wirth of Lorain Rd. Does not lutoir how far off the portion of 2S2 relocated north of Lorain Rd. is but certainly thiaka this warrants our consideration. Mr. Wilamosky asked whet percentage of $12,320. represents. Mayor said he believes it is the same as Lorain Rd. - 24X. Law Director Gareau reported: 1} over a period of time'~ve had a great deal of problems with respect to claims basing filed for unemploymee~t compensation arising oft of the Rec Center, and have generally fought these requests where there has beam a discharge or people have quit. In the last tenth Mr. Garesu and Mr. Bronder appeared before a Bearing Board with rs~speet to the discharge of the Food Service Manager. 1'tre discharge was upheld by the Agpellate~ Board of the Unea~loyment Compensation Horsey. It is presently being appealed; 2) sometime ago reported on the Suns' cases there were in the Court of Common Pleas: the Board of Zoning Appeals was upheld. Have not had appeals taken in the cases althoagh certain things were requested. Consequently the judgements in Chose cases are in the City`s favor; 3) the Sewage Treatment Plant ease - Burkett vs. City of North Olmsted, has been assigned to a new Judge so suspects that within the n:srfuture will have some .activity on that score; 4) the Mayor this past week has presented the Law Director with a request from the Legal Aid Commission of Cuyahoga County dealing with indigent cases. Rad occasion to talk to Judge Holmes in Rocky River Court and found that; we had approximately 80 indigent cases emanating out of the City of North Olaast®d at~ually. Probably about 50 of those are felony cs~ses. Nave written to the Gotamission asking them to provide us with information regarding what it would cost the City to have them
