MAYOR'S REPORT:
Mayor Knoble turned to the City Engineer who had received the results of a survey done on the City's Lake Road property. Mr. Lesiecki reported that Bramhall had completed its survey; the results show that 12,133 cu. yds. remain between the existing elevation and the proposed final elevation of 620. This is, for practical purposes, identical to the Great Lakes survey which showed 12,240 cubic yards.
Regarding the Westover Road situation, the Mayor has contacted Fairview Park School Superintendent McDaniel. Although the Mayor has made his decision, he has agreed to meet with
officials to discuss that decision. In addition, he has received a letter from the attorney for two Westover homeowners who have requested that he cease and desist.
The Mayor has received a letter from the Cleveland Restoration Society notifying him that our City has been selected to participate once more in the Heritage Home Loan Program at the same $5000 level. Although another ordinance is not required, the Mayor welcomes input from Council members. In the absence of negative comments, he will proceed.
A feasibility study from City Architecture concerning the Lake Road property will be on the agenda of the Committee-of-the-Whole next week.
Finally, he requested an Executive Session for discussion of the compensation of a public employee.
LAW DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
Mr. Matty has received the 62nd report from Norfolk-Southern showing that in October, 2003, an average of 1.2 trains per day passed through our City.
Changes were recommended for Ordinances No. 222-03 and 224-03. As a result of negotiations with GGJ, a fee schedule was added to Ordinance No. 222-03 and three sections limiting liability were eliminated from Ordinance No. 224-03..
When Council has the opportunity, Mr. Matty requested a 1½ hour meeting with the Contracts Committee, Cox and Dr. Allen, Superintendent of Schools concerning the proposed public access, education and government channel. Mr. Matty has had preliminary discussions with the general counsel of Cox, and he asked for guidance from Council and the schools as to the narrowness or breadth of regulations before attempting a preliminary draft. Cox has requested a five-year extension of their contract in exchange for providing equipment for the schools. He further requested that, if possible, this meeting be scheduled on a Monday of a legislative meeting in January or early February.
COMMITTEE REPORTS: NONE
COMMUNICATIONS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Council has received a feasibility study of the Lake Road property from City Architecture. Mrs. Bobst noted that an economic impact study prepared by Mr. Koran was attached.
The Beautification Committee will meet tomorrow, December 9 at 7:00 p.m. in Memorial Hall.
The Economic and Community Development Advisory Board will meet on December 16 at 8:30 a.m.
Correspondence has been received from Dawson Insurance responding the questions raised by its competitor.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION:
Fred I. Sokol, 20021 Parkview, asked for a clarification of Ordinance 211-03. He explained that it was his understanding that this ordinance extends the right of public opinion signs to public facilities. Law Director Matty indicated that public facilities have always had available the right to an expression of public opinion through a bulletin board, i.e. Dr. Allen controls political messages on the bulletin board of the high school. This ordinance clarifies the rights of public facilities without a bulletin board to display a sign. Candidates must obtain permission, however, e.g. Mayor Knoble for City property, Dr. Allen for school property.
MOTION:
Moved by Mrs. Bobst, seconded by Mr. Frost, that Ordinance No. 155-03 be amended to include the following language in 153.06 (a): "In place of these half-days, each full-time city employee shall receive one floating holiday to be taken at any time during the year with the approval of his/her division or department head."
Discussion: Mrs. Bobst thanked the Mayor for bringing this amendment to Council.

AN EMERGENCY RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROPOSAL PROCESS FOR THE PURCHASE OF EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATION OF A MULTI-AGENCY, FIRE/EMS DISPATCH CENTER FOR THE MEMBER COMMUNITIES OF THE WESTSHORE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS
1ST READING
Moved by Mr. Frost, seconded by Mr. Potterfield, that the rule requiring that Resolution No. 213-03 be read on three separate days be suspended, and that Resolution No. 213-03 be placed upon its passage:
Discussion: Mr. Frost noted that the Westshore Council of Government will make its final decision about bids in December, so it is necessary that this ordinance be passed so that Rocky River is part of this process.
Vote: Gollinger - aye Potterfield - aye Frost - aye
Malling - aye Bartolozzi - aye Bobst - aye
6 ayes 0 nays PASSED
Moved by Mr. Frost, seconded by Mr. Gollinger, that Resolution No. 213-03 be passed as read:
Discussion: Mayor Knoble commented that this centralized dispatch center has been looked at for some time, gathering information and doing a feasibility study. It is hoped that this system will impact the quality and speed of service. When bids have been received and costs determined, the issue will be raised with full information and approval sought, city by city. Mr. Frost noted that two great advantages will be the speed of service, since now, if both of our squads are out, a police dispatcher must find a unit in another city to respond. Central dispatch would eliminate one of those steps. Secondly, on-line assistance will be provided to callers with operators who are able to give interim help until the squad arrives. Mr. Gollinger pointed out that this ordinance approves only the proposal process.

1ST READING
Moved by Mrs. Bobst, seconded by Mr. Malling, that the rule requiring that Ordinance No. 214-03 be read on three separate days be suspended, and that Ordinance No. 214-03 be placed upon its passage:

Malling - aye Bartolozzi - aye Bobst - aye
6 ayes 0 nays PASSED
Moved by Mrs. Bobst, seconded by Mr. Malling and Mr. Gollinger, that Ordinance No. 214-03 be passed as read:
Discussion: Mr. Linden explained that a 1998 Ford ClubWagon with 82,000 miles is being replaced. Its condition will be assessed so that disposition can be decided, but it was felt that because the van often goes long distances to medical facilities with seniors aboard, a reliable vehicle is necessary. Mrs. Bobst commented that because it is being purchased under the State Cooperative Purchasing Plan, the price will be the lowest possible.

Further, the Clerk must have on file the contract and disclosure statement for one week before the meeting. It was determined that the presentation will be made next Monday as the first agenda item. Public input will be welcome at this meeting.

Discussion: The Law Director has reviewed and approved this contract. Since the roads will be repaved in the near future, this project should be expedited. Mayor Knoble added that it has been the Administration's policy to review sewer and water lines before any major repaving project. In this case, frequent flooding in the Goldwood, Asplin and other area streets indicated a deficiency in the water lines on Hilliard. Because the County will begin work next year, the Administration would like to get this project done before repaving. Mr. Lesiecki explained that this ordinance is a follow-up to Ordinance No. 173-03 passed on October 13. GGJ is the lowest of five bids, and passage this evening will assure a timely start to the project.
