Officials Reports:
Rosann Jones, Manager Business & Community Services
Ms. Jones stated that Resolution 15-2015 was completed in anticipation of getting the demolition
grant from the County Land Bank. She was informed today that the City has received that grant. She
would therefore request that Council adopt the resolution which will allow the Mayor to sign the
agreement and the City will begin the process through Safebuilt notifying the property owner and
completing all the due diligence in order to be able to demolish the home on Cranage. If by some
chance the property owner, who has not lived in the home for years, responds that they want to keep
the house there will be a lot of work they need to complete.
She indicated that Studio Think provided the City with a 16 page creative brief. She met with the
Mayor and 27 different individuals were selected to receive a copy of this brief. There are two
Council members, Planning Commission and ABR members, as well as some others. Once the briefs
are completed and returned she and the Mayor will meet with Studio in order to combine the 27
responses into one creative brief which is the document Studio Think will work from. She stated that
once the final brief is completed she will forward a copy to Council. She also indicated that the City
will receive 12 logo/branding choices at which time the City will need to determine how to move
forward. Mr. Sculac indicated that he would like to review the brief that was sent out. Ms. Jones
indicated that she will forward a copy to all of Council and anyone can complete the brief and return
to her. Ms. Garrity indicated that the ABR members have requested that they be kept in the loop.
She would also like to know if all members of ABR could attend any meetings being held regarding
this project. Ms. Jones indicated that the only meeting she is anticipating is once the logo designs are
submitted for review and she will include ABR, if a meeting is held.
Joe Borczuch, Service Director
Mr. Borczuch indicated the newly hired general laborer began working for the City at the beginning
of the month and is getting acclimated to the city. The property maintenance inspector has also
begun working for the City as well. He stated that if anyone receives a complaint please contact Ms.
Stone.
Steve Presley, Finance Director - No Report
Mike DeSan, Asst. Finance Director – No Report
Councilman Sam Pulice, Ward IV
Mr. Pulice asked if there was an update regarding the shrubs at Aces. Mr. Borczuch indicated that he
and Mr. Cheatham met with Mr. Gallo this morning. He stated that the shrubs were planted on city
property but Mr. Gallo has agreed to replace the dying shrubs. Mr. Pulice indicated that the
agreement was that Mr. Gallo would screen the parking lot in order to put up a garage. Mr. Borczuch
indicated that his understanding from the morning, in order to put in an extra parking lot Mr. Gallo
was responsible for screening the area with bushes. He indicated that Mr. Cheatham was going to
review his files more thoroughly in order to make sure everyone is in complete agreement. Mayor
Approved Minutes 04/14/2015
Page 83
Donegan indicated that the last she heard about this issue was that the city was attempting to
determine whose property the bushes were located on. If they are located on city property why is the
area not screened with some type of fence? Mr. Pulice indicated that since this is a residential area
and shrubs were already in place he continued with shrubbery. Mr. Borczuch indicated that the fence
previously discussed was with the green space coming up to the other board on board that Mr. Gallo
installed for one of the property owners. Mayor Donegan indicated that she does not want anything
verbally, if Mr. Gallo has agreed to put the shrubs in, she would prefer, in writing, who will keep the
shrubs landscaped, and who will replace dying ones. She does not want to get into another situation
“well 10 years ago under Mayor Donegan said we would do this,” she wants the understanding clear
and concise. Mr. Borczuch indicated that was the reason Mr. Cheatham would be reviewing his file.
Mr. Pulice asked if there was any update on the German Club issue, Mr. Sculac replied none as of
yet.
Mr. Pulice indicated that in the past couple of weeks the signage around the city in right-of-way’s and
telephone poles has seemed to gotten out of hand. Mr. Borczuch indicated that is part of the property
maintenance inspector’s job, so as he gets acclimated with the city those will come down. Mr. Pulice
asked if he would make contact with these companies and explain that they cannot hang signs up.
Mr. Borczuch indicated that he could but they will probably still put the signs up.
Mr. Pulice indicated that he is looking for some suggestions regarding the trash receptacles in the
neighborhoods regarding screening. He lives on a small street and just by looking out his front
window he can see seven cans. Once summer is upon us and people begin having picnics they will be
cans everywhere. He believes there is something in the books regarding screening which indicates
that they can are not allowed in back yards and that they have to be kept indoors. He believes this
issue was previously researched but do not believe any answers were developed. He indicated that he
is just looking for suggestions and asked if this issue could be placed on a work session. Council
needs to come to some type of uniformity as to where these cans should be placed and not in front of
garages or on the side of homes. He indicated that there are some individuals who leave the cans on
their tree lawns for four or five days after pickup. Mr. Linn suggested going back to the old cans and
agrees with Mr. Pulice. He indicated that his old cans use to fit through the gate of his fence and are
stored behind the garage next so you couldn’t see them form the street. If he puts the new cans in his
garage then his wife has to park outside and they will not fit through the gate in his fence. Mayor
Donegan indicated that this issue was discussed previously but no answers were determined and this
change was plowed through but Council is free to have the discussion again. Mr. Linn indicated that
in heavy snow he does not know how some people get the huge cans back and forth to the street as
there was a couple times he had a hard time. Mayor Donegan stated now imagine if you are an 80
pound elderly person. Mr. Borczuch stated that if anyone sees cans left out on the tree lawn please
contact Ms. Stone with the information as Mr. Kopchak can site residents for leaving them out.
Councilman Charles R. Sculac, Ward I
Mr. Sculac moved to acknowledge receipt of the Mayor’s Court report dated 04/01/2015; Ms.
Duncan seconded. Voice Vote: 7 ayes; 0 nays. Motion carried.
Mr. Sculac moved to acknowledge receipt of the Statement of Cash position dated March 31, 2015 in
the amount of $1,532,624.43; Ms. Fenderbosch seconded. Poll: 7 ayes; 0 nays. Motion carried.
Approved Minutes 04/14/2015
Page 84
Mr. Sculac stated that as he drives around the city he has noticed that trash cans are still in tree lawns
during weekends after Thursday pickup. He knows there are a number of locations where residents
have racked leaves to the curb during yard clean up and noticed that as well. He indicated that
another issue he has regarding tonight’s presentation and drawing people downtown until businesses
are open in the evenings at Grand Pacific this will continue to be an issue. This is a town where
people are out of town during the day working they come back and the businesses close at 5:00 p.m.
At this point, they do not have complaints regarding not making what they think they should be
making and he knows that many shops are what you would call “mom and pop” kind of places which
are operated by single owners. Somehow if we are expecting people to go to this location then these
businesses need to be open at the convenience of the customer and not the owner of the shop. He has
had numerous suggestions from people, for example, open at noon and close at 8:00 p.m. He believes
this is a big issue and until it is resolved this will continue to happen. If we are looking for people to
draw downtown something needs to change. Mayor Donegan indicated that she understands and is
an issue we are addressing with them.
Councilman Kevin Roberts, Ward II
Mr. Roberts stated that he attended the Morning Mind Share at the Village Bean and it was very
productive. He would encourage any Council member to attend because you will hear the voice of
the people and they have a lot of good and interesting ideas.
Mr. Roberts asked if Mr. Borczuch if he knew why the City of Cleveland water department dug holes
on River Road. Mr. Borczuch indicated that he is unsure but more than likely they received a call
regarding some type of leak. Mayor Donegan indicated that she will attempt to find out. Mr.
Borczuch indicated that once the asphalt plants open he will get the holes repaired.
Mr. Roberts stated that on the west side of River Road in the back of the houses there use to be a
creek and the City 20, 30 or 40 years ago ditched it in and put the water through the culvert. You can
tell that this creek use to be four or five feet wide and three or four feet deep and the underground
pipe does not transport water quickly enough through this area. The water backs up to the south end
of River Road behind his in-law’s house and last year they ended up with two feet of water in their
basement. They have spent a fortune installing extra sump pumps to try to resolve this problem. He
stated that you can see the original creek bed on another vacant property but right now it’s stagnate
and a mosquito breeding ground. He stated that basically the natural flow of water behind these
homes is blocked. He would like Mr. Sheehy to take a look at this area. It seems to him that if you
take a creek bed that is made to handle 500 cubic feet per second and install a pipe that only handles
200 feet per second a problem will arise a couple times a year. He believes people thought this was a
good idea but it has not been maintained as the pipes are collapsed. Mr. Borczuch indicated that the
homeowners agreed that this would be a one-time deal they made with the Mayor at that time for the
City to install the pipe and they were to maintain the pipe. Mayor Donegan indicated that she would
ask Mr. Sheehy to look at the area.
Mr. Roberts stated that when he was completing work for the cemetery a couple of issues arose. One
of those issues was the cemetery deeds and the question as to whose name should be on those deeds.
As he reads the law, because this is a joint cemetery association all the deeds should be in the name of
the City and not the Township. He stated that in Turkeyfoot cemetery those individuals buried in the
back are in the Township, those in the middle are in no man’s land as he could not locate the title, and
the ones buried in the front are in the City, this needs to be straightened out.
Approved Minutes 04/14/2015

Mr. Roberts stated that the second cemetery issue is that the official name is Union Cemetery
Association. He stated that everyone calls the cemetery Chestnut Grove but that is not correct and
believes a formal name change should occur.
Councilman Linda Garrity, Council-at-Large
Ms. Garrity indicated that Council’s intern, Riley Alton, forwarded information regarding the Council
page portion of the website. She introduced Mr. Alton who will summarize the report.
Riley Alton, stated that he tended to be practical and not technical for what we can do as a City to
hammer out effective content. If a website is designed poorly it jumps out at you in the beginning but
if it is designed well, as it should be, the focus is on the content. We want the content to be read and
in order to have the content read the City should exercise certain key words that residents would
search because everyone uses Google that is how we find information. We should be certain when
we are writing information or paying someone to write information or content for the City’s website
it is imperative that we use the wording that residents would look for or key words that would allude
to the wording that residents would look for. This all contributes to basically create what we would
refer to and what I was taught in grade school as the digital footprint that the City would generate.
We want that to be in line with where the City is at physically and what we are actually doing. It is
imperative that we take time to think about and discern what we are saying. He knows there has been
a lot of deliberation in Council of redesigning this website and getting it back up but what good is it if
we take this opportunity that we have of redesigning a completely new website just to replace it with
the same old content. He indicated that having the website down created issues for the City and made
it harder for residents to communicate but at the same time it’s an opportunity and we should take
advantage of it through effective content development as was outlined in his report.
Ms. Garrity stated that she agrees with Mr. Alton’s summary statement. She asked Council to take
time and write a summary of credentials that would be placed on the new website with all the new
photos. She indicated that the Clerk will outline each Council member’s committee responsibilities.
She would like Council to also review their mission statement and would like to place Council’s
Rules of Order on the website as well.
Mayor Donegan indicated that the administration approved to color scheme for the website. We also
met with Mr. Wright of Wright Path Solutions and all the department heads have signed off on their
website pages. She indicated that Council will need to bring conclusion to their page of the website
as soon as possible.
Ms. Garrity stated that the Clerk did distribute information regarding the tree program and she will
also be discussing this program with the Community Development Committee.
She stated that the community shredding date is May 2nd and she would recommend that the service
employees help out this year as each year this event grows. There seem to be heavier boxes during
the spring due to the tax season. There have only been a few volunteers for each event and she
believes that having a couple of the service employees would be a great help. Mayor Donegan
indicated that she does have a couple of people who need to complete some community service for
their National Honor Society but this event does require a lot of work. Ms. Garrity stated that if there
are not enough volunteers from Council she believes service employees will be needed as there is a
lot of lifting involved. Mr. Borczuch indicated that he would take care of employees.

Ms. Garrity indicated that the Baptist Church on Columbia Road in North Olmsted will be collecting
supplies to be shipped to Illinois for the towns devastated by the tornado. She will distribute a list of
items that are needed.
Councilman Terry Duncan, Ward III – No Report
Councilman Jay Linn, Council Pro-Tempore
Mr. Linn stated that the residents on Bagley Road are continually dumping into the culvert behind
their homes and the homes on Elmer which creates a mess at the end by Usher Road. Mayor
Donegan indicated that she would like to distribute a letter to these residents indicating that dumping
into the culvert is not permitted. Mr. Linn stated that there have been old picnic tables dumped over
the hill.
Councilman Kathleen Fenderbosch, Council President
Ms. Fenderbosch reminded Council that the deadline for filing their ethics forms is tomorrow and can
be completed online.
Ms. Fenderbosch indicated that the Clerk will email Council to acquire dates for a work session to be
scheduled. She would like to begin the work session at 6:30 p.m. She asked Mr. Presley to prepare
different types of scenarios for the financing of the new service garage. She also asked Mr. Borczuch
to put together what the building would look like and how he would like it designed.
Ms. Fenderbosch indicated that she will ask the Clerk to see how other cities handling the screening
issue for the trash receptacles.
Ms. Fenderbosch indicated that due to the fact that she works on Saturday’s she is unable to be
present at the community shredding event. If the boxes are heavy she believes the service department
should help out.
Ms. Fenderbosch moved to approve requisition 19809 to L3 Mobile Vision for body camera
purchase and video system upgrade in an amount not to exceed $4,825.50; Ms. Duncan seconded.
Mr. Roberts indicated that he spoke with Law Director/Prosecutor for the City of Berea and he
indicated that their city purchased cameras for $40.00 which were no good so he is curious as to what
type we are purchasing. He is not denying that the city needs them he would like to know why this
particular brand and the vetting process involved. Mayor Donegan indicated that Chief Gilles
distributed a memo which states that the vendor for L3 indicated that the department must upgrade its
software package and the computer that operates our system due to the software being out of date and
the computer not being able to operate new versions of the software both L3 and Bailey
Communications have provided pricing to obtain the new computer to support the upgrade to the
system. His recommendation is to purchase the software, body cameras, charging/downloading
systems from L3 and the computer portion from Bailey. Mr. Linn indicated that the system is
phenomenal the way it works. He stated that anything that is recorded from the dash cam in the
cruiser stays in the car and downloads into the building and is recorded on CD. These new body
cameras will work the same way, the information that is contained on the cameras will automatically
download to the same system and be stored on CD inside the building without physically hooking the
camera to the machine, it is all done remotely. Poll: 7 ayes; 0 nays. Motion carried.

Ms. Fenderbosch moved to approve requisition 19811 to Standard Law enforcement Supply for the
purchase of four (4) rifles and other equipment in an amount not to exceed $4,826.00; Ms. Duncan
seconded. Mayor Donegan indicated that these four additional patrol rifles are being purchased to
replace five (5) rifles that are on loan from the military through the 1033 program. The current rifles
are not necessarily appropriate for law enforcement use and are approximately 15+ years old. The
rifles on loan must be returned to the federal government once replaced with modern front line law
enforcement rifles. Ms. Garrity stated that she would like to know how often our officers use rifles.
Mayor Donegan indicated that she is aware of one time the rifles were used approximately 10 years
ago. Poll: 7 ayes; 0 nays. Motion carried.
