James Alexander, 33970 Willowick Drive, Eastlake
Mr. Alexander: I want to congratulate everyone who won elections. We wanted to personally present Council with the team plaque for Eastlake Soccer. Your help is appreciated.
Christine Gibaldi & Michelle Meeker, City of Eastlake Victims’ Advocates
Mrs. Gibaldi: We wanted to let you know we are doing the Community Christmas Event again this year – this is our seventh year and consists of Eastlake Police, Eastlake Fire, PAL and Eastlake Community Members. Collection will be November 23rd from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at WalMart. We will have Santa. Chick Filet will be there supporting us and giving out meals and prizes. We will have the Fire Department there with the ambulance to pack with toys. Gifts will be handed out between December 16th & 18th with the food being distributed between December 19th & December 20th.
Ms. Meeker: Last year we were able to give over $150 children Christmas gifts and we were able to give 20 families full ham and turkey meals. So far this year we have 50 kids signed up. We also have groups like Lake West Hospital which is donating 50 meals.
Stacy McGuigan, 36250 Valley Vista, Eastlake
Mrs. McGuigan: I would like to talk about recreation. I know we are all disappointed that the levy failed. However, it only failed by 337 votes and it looked like most of the people who voted for Mayor, aside from 63, voted either to or for the levy. So, there was definitely an interest. When I went to Longfellow to vote this year I was told by the people at the polls that people who have not voted in years came out to vote. Obviously, we cannot figure out exactly what they were voting for but aside from the Mayor and City Council seats there was a pretty important School Board levy and different things. So, what is our plan next? Being a mother of two young children I grew up in Eastlake and moved out of Eastlake and moved back to Eastlake. Eastlake has no recreation to offer our children. We have no Safety Town, no camps, no pool and no Easter egg hunt. As a citizen of this City when I first looked at the levy I thought why are we not asking for more money – this is so cheap. But, then my daughter started going to Longfellow Elementary and I became active in the PTA. Longfellow Elementary is the poorest school in the Willoughby/Eastlake School District. There are 400 children – 50 of which parents signed up to pay $5 to be part of the PTA. We use the PTA money to buy hats, coats, and boots for some of the children in our own school who don’t have the money. On the same token I saw a lot of parents at the school on Halloween baking cupcakes and doing what they can. I don’t think a lot of them have the money. Not saying that a $1.46 a month is a lot of money but collectively there were a lot of levies on the ballot. I think the change in Administration will bring back a little bit of gusto hopefully from the residents but I also think the residents did not recognize what a low amount you were actually looking for unless they read the Eastlake Gazette. I would like to do what I can as a citizen to say – the levy failed – what is next? What can I do to make this a better community and not just for my children but for our children. What is our next step? Are we considering another levy at another time or are we just going to move forward in baby steps with the money we can put aside to at least start getting the ball rolling? Or, working with other cities – if we cannot get the pool open this year I would hope the least we can do is to get with Willoughby or Willowick or Wickliffe and find a way to let our residents utilize their pools at their resident money so we are not paying $300 for our children to go swim in Willoughby – paying as a resident. I do not know what happens behind the scene as far as insurance – maybe their insurance is specific to the residents. But, I hope we can all work together to make this a better place to live for the younger kids in Eastlake. And, I am willing to help.
Mr. Morley: I have some plans I have discussed and have already discussed some plans today about Safety Town, Easter egg hunts – baby steps to try to bring our Community as a Community. We on Council are all aware of it. During the campaign I did not discuss a lot about the pool because I believed it was a political football. People asked me about the pool during the election and I talked to them. I also talked to Council about it in case this would have failed. My plan is to try to get some corporate sponsors to open the pool and possibly talk to the Willoughby/Eastlake School District to see if North or South Swim Team would like to make some money over the summer. I don’t know yet – possibly in January we would ask how many people may want to buy pool passes. I don’t want them to have to buy pool passes and then we don’t open the pool. Obviously, we have to go through the budget again and see where it falls. My goal is to try to do it but I will not make any promises. But, I am going to try to work with Council and our Directors to try to find an alternative. The election is over and regardless of everything that was said about this Council – this Council always wanted the swimming pool. When we got rid of 25 people and cut $2 million from the budget we did not believe we had the money and as the budget continues to finish out this year we will discuss it. But, I do have plans for everything you just said and I will get your name and address and when we start sitting down to discuss… For people who came tonight this is where we go through and pass everything. Our Committee meetings are where we do all the work. I would like to talk with all the sports programs after the first of the year. I do not take over until January 1st and out of respect to the Mayor I am trying not to step on any toes until after the first of the year – and will try to make that transition. It will be all new – we will work as a team and try to get through that. As Mr. Slocum discussed about the health care I did sit in on a meeting with them and we are looking at working together instead of always having animosity. That is a goal of mine especially. I appreciate that.
There was no one else who wished to speak.

There was no Legislation Pending.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
There was no Unfinished Business.
NEW BUSINESS
There was no New Business.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
MAYOR/SAFETY DIRECTOR – Ted Andrzejewski
Mayor Andrzejewski was absent and excused.
LAW DIRECTOR – Randy Klammer
Mr. Klammer: Congratulations to everyone on well-run campaigns. Most of my reports are provided in email updates. I do not think there is anything I have not provided an email report on. I am open for questions.
There were no questions of Mr. Klammer.
FINANCE DIRECTOR – Mike Slocum
Mr. Slocum: The $252,000 tax refund we have been investigating – we have concluded our analysis and we will be making that refund this month. The effect of that is we are going to reduce the revenue as opposed to showing that as an expense so that future comparables are in fact comparable. I am open for questions.
Mr. Morley: Just so the audience knows, we discussed this over a couple of meetings. A business in our City was sold and one of their employees made an oversight and paid us $325,000 that they did not have to pay. We have to refund $252,000 of that back.
There were no questions of Mr. Slocum.
CITY ENGINEER – Tom Gwydir
Mr. Gwydir: Thank you for passing the legislation for Kalene Court. Also, I am pleased to announce that the last OPWC project we had – Erieview Drive – is all wrapped up. All the concrete is in place and we will plant the grass next year alongside the road when the weather is more amendable. I am open for questions.
Mr. Morley: I was talking with some of the residents in the audience who are very pleased with how the work came out. I am glad you kept up on that.
There were no questions of Mr. Gwydir.
SERVICE DIRECTOR – Mike Semik
Mr. Semik: The leaf pickup is on schedule – we are actually running little ahead of schedule thanks to the new leaf box that was purchased this year. We had an incident today where a resident put some 3 foot long 4×4’s underneath the leaves and they were sucked into the unit. Luckily the gentleman who was operating the unit shut it off in time and the wood was removed. However, it snapped in 3 pieces. It did not damage to the machine but it brings up the importance of reminding our residents that we will not pick up the leaves if they have this stuff in there. It will damage the machine that cost $50,000. Snow equipment is up and ready for snowfall. Mr. Paul Miller is retiring the end of the month – a retirement party is scheduled for this Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Trader Jacks and everyone is invited. Paul has been with us for many years. He started in the Sewer Department and worked his way up to the Mechanics Department. He has saved us a lot of money with his competitive pricing when he went out for items for the Department whether it be fuel or parts. That was one of the main things he was a stickler for. He has always been looking out for the money he was entrusted with. And, he will be sorely missed. This concludes my report and I am open for questions.
Mr. Hoefle: I just wanted to let you know that I had a compliment given today to the guys doing leaf pickup and that they did a great job. The Eastlake Community Center – if we can make sure the Jean Chase Memorial Fund, Inc. and gymnastics and anyone else makes sure that one set of doors is always unlocked. The one door on the right is unlocked but the one on the left on numerous occasions has been locked and that could be a safety violation. Please make sure that is relayed to anyone who is opening up.
Mr. Semik: Both those groups each open the building and we have advised them that both set of doors need to be opened. They have been made aware of that. Anyone using the building has been instructed that both doors need to be opened.
Mr. Klammer: If there is any question of exits make sure it is in writing that they are instructed to keep the doors open. Send them a memo of some sort.
There were no further questions of Mr. Semik.
CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL – James S. McReynolds
Mr. McReynolds: Recently we opened the Super Mega Pawn Shop on Lakeland Avenue with the agreement that they will keep all motor vehicles inside the pawn shop. They performed some improvements on the building as well as the outside – pole lights for the parking lot. We have a new company called Enpress that wants to build a new building in Eastlake. They have gone to the Planning Commission. They are trying to arrange finances for this project with the hopes they can start breaking ground in the spring. The building will be added to an existing building on Curtis Blvd. and will enable them to expand their workforce by at least 21 people. In addition they have another project which may be done with this proposed building or after in a second small expansion to the facility. We are looking forward to Enpress being located here. WalMart has finished up their solar panel array installation which is part of a cool roof project that WalMart is doing nationwide. This allows a white membrane to go onto the roof to reflect most of the sun’s heat and ultraviolet rays. In addition they have an array of sky lights which they hope will reduce their daylight lighting costs by 75%. This is something I would consider to be cutting edge technology. Also, they have turned in plans for the new drive entry on Vine Street and that is going through the approval process right now. I am open for questions.
Mr. Klammer: I want to tell you all and compliment Mr. McReynolds – it has been a pleasure working with him thus far – I really appreciate it.
Mr. Morley: So far it has been good for us too. Our goal was to start getting compliments of our people. We appreciate it.
POLICE CHIEF – Larry Reik
Chief Reik: Congratulations to the ones who won the election. I have nothing to report.
There were no questions of Chief Reik.
FIRE CHIEF – Ted Whittington
Chief Whittington was absent and excused.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:40 p.m.
