Minutes of Council Meeting of October 17, 1978, were approved as read. Safety Director Petre reported: 1) the North Olmsted Recreation Complex roof project is scheduled to start an Monday, November 13th. The Northern Ohio Roofing Co~any was awarded the contract to perform the work and we have selected a Carlisle roof membrane system which includes a ten year warranty on labor and matetals. 2) the City of North Olmsted has encountered a great deal of traffic congestion be- tween Silverdale and SgaXky Lane on the north side of Lorain Road. This serious problem basically affects the health, safety and welfare of the citZxens of our community. Would appreciate a meeting with the Safety Come~iittee with a view to adopt legislation prohibiting left turns into and-out of these properties during .certain hours of the daq. 3) have received several reports from the Police Department with regard to the re- peated damage to City property at the Ciague Road Playground. Steel doors have been removed several times and repair costs are increasing. One consideration might be to tear down the two structures before aomeane is injured. The report also indicates that both buildings have becoss* a breeding ground far improper activities by juveniles who are hidden from view. inside these buildings. 4) have contacted the Ohio Department of Highway Safety and expressed personal inter- est in participating in the State's Young Driver Test Program. This program is geared for young drivers between the ages of 15 and l9 years of age. The program offers public information such as phamplets, quizaes, audio-visual presentations, etc. In 1977, we had 364 fatalities in that age group in the State of Ohio. This age group represents about 10~' of all Ohio licence holders Who were involved in 2S% of last year's fatal accidents. The 364 fatalities was higher than the combined total of traffic deaths among all Ohioans from the age .group of 3S to S5 years of age - so a five year comparison to a twenty year co~arison in age. Must join in th;~,s effort to raise public awareness of the young driver problem. Is looking ~orwa~l to g;~ttin$ involved in this project as much as possible. President Lampert asked Mr. Boehmer, Chairman of Safety, Health and Welfare Co~nittee to take this under consideration.
