COMMITTEE REPORTS:
FINANCE. Mr. Beamish, Chairman, reported that Committee recommends
legislation be prepared authorizing the Director of Public Service & Safety
to advertise for bids and enter into contracts for a replacement paint
striping vehicle for the Street Division at a cost not to exceed $125,000
and an additional dump truck for the Street Division at a cost not to exceed
$40,000.
Report signed by Cultice, Mercer and Beamish.
LAW & ORDINANCE: Mrs. Saxton, Chairman, reported as follows: 1) Committee
recommends that legislation be prepared formally changing the name of
Williamsburg Court (that appears on the plat for Heritage Hills 10) to the
name of Stephenson Drive, which is the commonly used name approved in other
plats. 2) Committee recommends that legislation be prepared approving the
replat of Inlots 8527 & 8528 into one lot and vacating the utility easement
adjacent to the lot lines. 3) Committee recommends Ordinance No. O-5-02,
Yates Annexation, be approved, noting that a majority of the property owners
have petitioned the annexation, as the property is developed it can be
serviced with utilities but there is no requirement of the City to extend
the utilities earlier, there were no objections voiced at the County public
hearing, and annexation extends some measure of control to the City as there
would be any improvements to the adjacent roadways. Discussion - Mr.
Bretland commented that he had sent correspondence to owners of property
included in this annexation (as well as other pending annexations), both
those who signed the petition and those who did not, and has received four
responses to date. He further commented he'd like to see O-5-02 receive a
fourth reading. 4) Committee recommends that legislation be prepared
accepting the recommendation of the Enterprise Zone Tax Incentive Review
Council (EZTIRC) regarding enterprise zone agreements that are in compliance
and should be continued (Premiere Labels #1, Motoman #2, Stillwater
Technologies #15, F&P America #4 & #22, AMEC #6, #12 & #17, Gilardi Foods
dba International Pizza Co. #11, 3-Sigma LLC #13, Peak Foods #18, Sun
Machine & Tool #19 and Goodrich #21) the agreements that are not in
compliance and should be continued (Stillwater Technologies #3, Premier
Labels #14, Ametek Prestolite Power #10 [shared with Thermal Arc]), and
those agreements that are not in compliance and should be suspended
(abatement benefits suspended for one year) (Spinnaker Coating #9, Thermal
Arc #10 [shared with Prestolite Power]). Committee further recommended that
the legislation be presented as an emergency measure due to the 3-31 filing
deadline with the State of Ohio.
Reports signed by Beamish, Mercer and Saxton.
ORAL REPORT. Mrs. Saxton commented that notice of liquor license had been
received for new C1 and C2 permits for Jeffery J. Fiessinger for a location
on SR 55, 200' north of the NE corner of S Dorset and SR 55.
PERSONNEL: Mr. Wise, Chairman, reported that Committee recommends
legislation be prepared extending military benefits for an additional six
months only for current employees who may be called to active duty as a
result only of the events of 9-11-01.
RECREATION & PARKS: Mr. Bretland, Chairman, reported that Committee
recommends legislation be prepared authorizing the Director of Public
Service & Safety to enter into an agreement with Choice One Engineering to
design part of a bridge connection from the Treasure Island area to First
Island to Duke Park at a cost not to exceed $58,500. Committee further
recommends that the legislation be presented as an emergency measure so that
the field inspections can take place before there is further growth.
