City Council - Regular Meeting

Stone. Dubois. Porsche. Kuda. Larsen.

This is Gail Larson. Because of an accident, I have not been able to go out for a month or two months. So, I will be on my way soon. Please take care of me. But I will work hard for everyone. Thank you for your understanding. Kohan, I am here. Koba, I am here. Okay. We don't have minutes or differences in the agenda right now.

So, let's go to the Mayor's address. Thank you, Mr. President. On August 14, 2026, the Transfer Station Attakuttapani project of Cleveland Heights City will be completed on the 26th, Poojam 7, Naai 1 tender. The tender was only received from Jadco Construction Services for $11,47,000. The tender was approved by the design engineer GPD Tender Investigator and the Jadco-certified contractor. Therefore, they are recommending Jadco Construction for the tender. We would like to remind everyone that Denison Splash Pad is currently in operation. The CET Administrator is explaining more about this. We apologize to the Public Works Department and the Parks and Rec Department. We are organizing a small event at 11 a.m. on Saturday. If you are interested, please join us. We hope this will be a big event. Also, we would like to announce the completion of the 100-star season in Cumberland Pool. I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to this. There have been a lot of improvements this season. We are all excited for the next phase of Cumberland. We are also proud to have completed the 100-day season. My report ends here. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Okay. Next is the report of the CET Administrator known as the Rees Report. I understand that today's report is one of the most important. This is a big report. Mayor Petras, President Kuda, Vice President Larsen, I have come here to present a summary of the Rees Report. Historically, both the Mayor and the Council have to submit reports twice a year under the Charter under the CET Manager. Today's report is mainly about the time range from February 1 to August end. I am happy to announce this to you in advance. I am not going to read it all. I think I can describe only one part of it, only the most important parts. But before getting into that, I think it would be good to explain a little about my role to the council members and especially to the public who are watching this program today. Therefore, I can describe here the 8 things that I see as my role. The first is to take the mayor's priorities forward. In short, ensure that the services to the residents are maintained, that there is security in the parks and roads, and that there is financial responsibility. Secondly, ensure that the department leaders are guided and that they are given instructions and that their activities are going well. Thirdly, give all the help needed to our directors, chiefs, and office workers to do their jobs. Fourth, try to make the services and activities more efficient. As an example, by working together with the Public Works Director, we have expanded the activities from one association to three associations this year. From 1 in 2025 to 3 in 2026. Fifth, improve the cooperation and trust in various departments. This is an example of how the Hillside Diary was torn down. Its Public Works, Planning and Development, and Mayor's Office worked together. Sixth, work with them on council members' priorities and aspirations. The man-management program that we run with the council is an example of this. Seventh, respond to the aspirations of the residents and business people. The Mayor's Action Centre is working to ensure that they respond correctly to the needs of various departments. Eighth, finally, help the financial department in the agricultural budget process. These are the 8 things that I focus on every day. In short, these are my regrets. Therefore, the changes that I am going to discuss in this report and in my presentation today are reflected in the proximity of a team that needs unity in various aspects. Under the Municipal Vehicle Act, we are in the process of finalizing a vehicle law that states that vehicles that are not in use, avoid unnecessary vehicles, establish rules for take-home vehicles, create standards for buying new vehicles, and create other methods for our fleet. We have completed many of these, or we are in the process of completing them, but we would like to complete them as soon as possible. Under the Ekoopanam, that is, under the Syllogal Yadartham, we have created a system of co-examination and consultation between the mayor's office and the city's 10 offices. We have held cabinet meetings with the ministers and directors once every two weeks, and the assistant directors and assistant chiefs participate in this once a month. We have held regular co-examination with each of the directors and ministers, and they have to send updates to the offices once every two weeks. For that, I am moving forward. To the bottom of the list. The City of Cleveland Heights signed an agreement with the North East Ohio Area Coordinating Agency for the establishment of eight public EV fast chargers in Cleveland Heights. That is the North East Ohio Area Coordinating Agency that we agreed with the NOAC. On May 26, the city held the third annual gas-powered lawnmower exchange. In addition to 50 lawn mowers for electric models, 20 gas-powered leaf mowers were also replaced. On May 14, 2026, the city won the 48-dash Swarachinam Amadha Tree CET USA award. We are waiting to win the 50-dash Swarachinam Amadha Tree CET USA award for the first time in 2028. The city completed a pilot composting program. In June, the city organized this pilot program and launched a food-intensive compost program through four Rust Belt Riders drop-off sites. This was a success for everyone. In addition, the last thing I would like to say is that the city launched a polystyrene recycling pilot program in June. This is the first city in Ohio to do this. This program is a success for all residents. The Cleveland Heights Arts Commission, in March of this year, held their first annual event to celebrate the recognition of public art in their unique assets at the City Hall. We appointed Christina Halstead as the Director of Human Resources at Cleveland Heights Human Resources after a strong protest. They first joined the job in July. In this period of time, we organized a recognition ceremony for a living being who is a member of our community. We intend to change this into a voluntary recognition ceremony. Earlier, under Community Relations and Communications, in the first two focus magazines of 2026, it was sent to each corner of Cleveland Heights by the end of July. This year in March, the Nagaram EDC Institute helped to conduct a satisfaction survey of the residents. These are the main findings from the survey. The residents are very satisfied with the condition of our roads and the construction rules. But they are most satisfied with the public safety departments and the cultural services provided by the government. Most residents consider this as a suitable place to stay in Cleveland Heights. When the budget for the year 2027 is prepared, we are considering the survey results. We chose Joe Brzezinski as the new finance director for various projects in the financial department. He passed away in February. He and his team have worked on various projects. I will tell you some of the things here. In the first six months of this year, there has been a lot of work to complete the financial reporting needs of the city at a specific time. On March 19, 2026, the audit report of the city was published. The financial statements were completed in 2024 and submitted on July 15, 2026. The work of the financial statements for 2025 is about 60% completed. The remaining things are expected to be completed within the next few weeks. Through these actions, we expect to be able to restore our bond rating by the beginning of 2027. In terms of the budget, each CET council member and city council members have worked together to discuss the proposed methods. We have been waiting for the next budget meetings in September and October before the council announces the budget. Council budget hearings have been held on November 4, 5 and 6. Finally, this is one of the things that was discussed with the Council members and Director Brzezinski in connection with the Secretary-General. We again know that a five-year term is required for employment and employment. In 2027, it will be implemented as a finance director to handle this issue. In the last year, the number of roads was 13,000. This year, the number of roads was 38,000. I have already talked about our efforts to double the number of dams. In addition, we will increase the number of dams to three from two. We increased the number of dams to 12 from nine. We are waiting to see how this increase will affect our activities. I had told you about the diary method of Hillside, which is possible through the integration of various organizations. Finally, we are working together with the Public Properties Department within the Public Works Department for two weeks. I think this is something to pay special attention to. The Department is investigating inventory to properly understand the situation of street lights, parking spaces, and mediums in our city. Under Police and Fire departments, we are planning to start a man management program in 2027. This will be included in the budget in 2027. We are implementing new generators in Fire Station 2. This is very important for the department's activities. In addition to parks and tourism, Denison Park completed its splash part last week and opened for the public on September 5th. I would like to thank the director and the director-general who worked hard on this. We are also moving forward with the Kumberland pool accessibility system under the parks and tourism anyway. We will explain more about this when Josie Moore and Jos Braverman are done. Next, there are some things that need to be said about planning in the development department. We are working together with the special improvement districts and merchant associations to share information about urban services and to contribute to it. We have funded the Noble Area Business Association and the Taylor Road Merchants Association for two years. They will continue to cooperate with them when their activities are released. Thank you to the CET Council and Planning and Development staff. There has been a great improvement in the legislation of the Accessory Delling Unit. We are waiting to see it reach a full extent. As indicated in the Committee of the Whole meeting, we are paying attention to appointing a city engineer to speed up the development of pedestrian and cyclist safety methods. We expect it to happen this year itself. Under the planning and development, the planning and development staff are working together as a consultant team under the leadership of the SETO NGO. On September 17, a public open house has been established. Our zoning code was last reviewed in 2012. That is, it has been 14 years. The housing and building code was reviewed at the beginning of this period by the International Code Council in Nagaramkarar. Mayor's office, planning, building, housing, etc. City residents have been working together with the International Code Council for two weeks from August 1st. Since 2002, the housing and building codes have not changed significantly. That is, it has been 24 years. Finally, under the Housing Code Enforcement, the Mayor's Office Housing Division has held regular meetings with the Mayor's Office Housing Division to discuss code regulations and regulations. In addition, we have also held meetings with major stakeholders to discuss ways to improve the process and ensure more accountability. Finally, in 2026, with the addition of the law on the rights of disabled persons, the laws will be completed. This new law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, the law on the rights of disabled persons, We have made a lot of progress in the first half of 2026. But in the coming months and years, there are still a lot of things to do. I am happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Administrator. Does anyone have any questions or comments? Okay, okay, go ahead. I thought you were ready to say something. First of all, I would like to say how much I value this report. When I read the report, the first thing that struck me was its clarity. I'm not going to go into too much detail about the Buddha era, but this is what I was able to clearly understand about your role. I couldn't understand it in the case of the previous administrators. I think that this is one of the reasons for the great success we have achieved. I would like to tell you how much we value you. I think you like your new house here. Because I know this is a big change for you, right? Of course. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. This is a group effort. I am very eager to move forward. So, thank you for allowing me time tonight. Thank you. Okay. Under the departmental reports, we are going to discuss the Cumberland Pool public engagement. Josie Moore and Josie Braverman are here. Mr. President, thank you. Thank you very much for allowing us to give you this update this evening. I would like to give some brief details about the people who are watching this. This year, we will be representing the Sea Construction as our owner, and some of you will remember some of the things that DSR Architects and others have done for the design and engineering services. Josie Moore and Joyce Braverman have sent us a powerful, people-oriented process that is going to explain more to us tonight. We have chosen the delivery method of Construction Manager at Risk for this method. We are in the process of choosing a construction manager. Our owner's representative, Roger Riachi, will explain more about this in your next episode, which will take place on September 22nd. By appointing a construction manager, they will present their opinions in the design phase. Subcontractors will then appoint subcontractors for the actual construction of the main building. In October, we intend to announce an announcement about the initial designs in your first year. In addition, we plan to announce the legislation on the welfare of the pool in the spring. So, this is an announcement of where we are now and what is ahead. Thank you to Josie and Joyce for announcing this announcement. Forgive me for that. Josie, I'm sorry. I didn't know your job title.

Strategic Initiatives Manager. Thank you. Adi, can you excel that box? Thank you. Shedi. Thank you. This project was a very enjoyable experience. It still continues. This is an opportunity you only get once in a lifetime. Making sure that our community's needs and desires are taken into account, with care and encouragement, is a great achievement after becoming a part of this. So, these were our community commitments so far. This is just to give a little more clarity about the goals we have set. Just to give a clue. How do we ask and hear questions? We would like to celebrate the historic preservation and preservation of the historic Cumberland Bath House. This is not just a historic property. This is a popular community property. We should never forget that. We would like to create a water resource center that can be used by all ages and people with disabilities. It is a city that welcomes everyone, and it is very important that the aim is fulfilled in all the things we do. We would like to discuss the opportunities for innovation, exercise, fitness, and family activities. The future generations will learn how to imagine this pool in a great way. We would like to ensure the long-term health of the activities. While working with this design, it is very important for a successful project to think carefully about how things are related to the living, users and the surrounding world. We want to make sure that this facility meets the needs and priorities of the Cleveland Heights community. We are proud that this is a diverse community. We are happy that there are people of all ages, all lifespans, and all kinds of income here. We want to make sure that this is a place where everyone feels welcome and that there is anything for everyone here. We definitely want to provide a high level of financial responsibility to the residents who have been living here for more than 18 years. We make sure that we take decisions that do not increase unnecessary costs by giving priority to the economy. This is a brief description of the things we have done so far and the things we intend to do soon. If we talk about our project groups, we have completed the pre-design due diligence, pre-design due diligence, i.e. the effort to find the old rules. It was very difficult. We are now in the scheme design group. This is also called conceptual design. These two terms are used in the same sense. They both indicate the same thing. That is, this is a group that precisely decides what we are going to do and what are the main things. We have also organized 3 community open houses for public events. We have also organized pop-up events. That is part of the targeted outreach. Then we are hosting the second phase of more community events. We have created a web page for this project. Let me say it again, pop-up events. In addition, we are planning to organize three focus groups. Focus groups are very important, because we want to ensure that we can hear the opinions of people who find it difficult to reach. Therefore, this is an opportunity for those who want to make sure that their voice is heard. We have conducted a survey on what the community needs and facilities and beauty science. We can talk about it in a little while. We expect to conduct a second survey, which will go into more details, soon. Thank you. Now a few things about Task Force. Your council has appointed us to lead the process of design and give instructions. We are 15 Ohari Udamas, i.e. residents who represent many interests and wishes. They are very friendly people. There was a lot of excitement in all our meetings. Everyone gave meaningful suggestions about the goals of the shared pool. So far, five meetings have taken place. This year, three more have been confirmed. In November, we will re-examine what our other activities should look like for the future. This can be taken into account in the management of the activities. We started the activities by looking at the next seven pools. Some of them were located near the water park, such as Mayfield Heights in Beechwood. In some of the pools, there were pools with family facilities and facilities like Avon. Others were old pools like Shaker Heights, South Euclid, and Lindhurst. So, as I said, we had three open houses. One was in the Cumberland pool. Even though it was a very bad weather night, I think about 60 people participated. This shows how much people love this pool. One was held at the Community Centre and the other at the E.R.J. Nobel Library. Many of our council members were also there. They came and I was happy to see them. We are very happy to have received a response from those of us who were trying to reach more people. So we were very happy to have been able to carry out the third operation. We discussed what we would do if we didn't get the necessary responses before the survey was put out about the survey responses. I always said, don't worry, we'll get it. Double Quote. Because I know the love for this city and this pool. So we expected to get 100 to 300 responses. Our goal was 500, but in the end we got 742 responses. This pool is a big deal for the people of this city. They want to know what should happen to it. We have taken various steps to share this pool with people in these community open houses. In the first slide, you may have seen people looking at an aerial photo. I really liked that conversation. Because they were very excited. They had a lot of wishes. This was another way for people to share their wishes. They could draw what they wanted for their children. My own children had some strange wishes. But this was a way to think beyond a random survey. But we can go to the loving parts of what we have heard. That is why, the personality of Cumberland is its greatest asset. Cumberland is a place surrounded by historical, peaceful, civilized, social-centrically, and properly built trees and nature. This is the reason why people like it. That is why, what our design team understands is that the historical nature of Cumberland is not just protecting a building. It is about protecting an experience and a social personality. We see it with great respect. Lab swimming is one of the main activities of Cumberland. I know that for all of us here, it will be a challenge. So, the main reason why people use Cumberland is lab swimming itself. Those who have responded about the value of lab lines are insisting that it is very important to be able to find a lane at the right time. So, we have to make sure that the main activity of the pool is not reduced. We have to protect this part of the experience. However, pool is not only for the benefit of swimmers. Cumberland service is given to various users. Therefore, the facilities we aim to create should be of the same use to children, children, children, families, benefit swimmers, adults, fitness users, people who sleep as a guest, people who participate in events. I would say that this will be useful for those who want to read the book sitting on the deck. Therefore, we can understand that the society is not only designing for a particular type of users, but also requiring a large pool of people. This may be a big deal, but we have a great design team, so we are very excited about what they are doing now. Bathhouse has a strong impact on the environment. People like its reality, but they want changes to come inside. Therefore, they know that practical changes are needed inside. But they want to renovate it without changing the basic nature of the bathhouse. Our architect in DS architecture is very careful about this matter. He knows that the bathhouse needs to be renovated and especially the problems of the workers need to be solved, but he wants only very subtle changes to occur. In addition, the facilities available to everyone have one point. People in this community think about the needs of others rather than their own needs. I am proud to be able to live in a community with such residents. Therefore, we are talking about education, free entry, and other provided facilities, to ensure that this facility can be used by everyone, because even if you are healthy now, it should not always be like that. Therefore, the main point is to provide complete access to Cumberland for all adults and those with disabilities. We need facilities for families. Lazy river, family slide, splash features, playgrounds for kids, more toddler areas, more family space, facilities for children, etc. are of great interest in the new facilities. That is what we are saying again and again. Sometimes children are neglected, so we especially try not to forget them. Therefore, the main design highlight is to make Cumberland more suitable for children and families who do not lose their favorite things for the local users. The place is of great importance. One of the best opinions about Cumberland is that it is very spacious. Those who want to maintain this vast experience of separating Cumberland from other remote facilities. Therefore, the main challenge is how to bring together new facilities without losing this vast experience. People love the natural environment. The trees of Cleveland Heights are of great interest. They are very valuable to those who oppose them. Therefore, the natural environment should be kept as part of it and trees should be considered as a design asset. Finally, this is the most important thing. We need modern lighting. But we should not lose Cumberland. We want to improve the damaged area. We want to make it useful for more people. We want to promote all kinds of utilities. We want to stop the things that make Cumberland special. The society does not need to completely rewrite Cumberland. They need to rebuild and modernize it without losing Cumberland's identity. Next month, three focus groups will be held this month. We are trying to determine the dates for that. After that, we will hold two public open houses in the next phase. Does anyone have any questions? President Kuda.

Oh yes, continue, Vice President Larsen.

I have a comment to make. I would like to express my gratitude to Task Force for this project and for the professional work you have done this evening. I fully believe that a new and improved Cumberland will be built that all of us can enjoy together. Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to Task Force, Josie, the Mayor and the staff for your efforts. I am very grateful to you.

Thank you. Keep going.

Thank you. This is very encouraging, informative and clear. We can really see that the view of Cumberland is more clear. I was impressed with the first thing you said about your goals in one of the first slides. You talked about the opportunities available to people. I was surprised to see how you think about it. Are you saying that we should increase the number of participants in your response pool or increase the number of programming sessions in your programs? That is, I will say that. Both agree. Okay. We expect that more people will be able to enter the new facility. Not only that, we think that more programs can be entered through different facilities. Thank you. There were a few comments and one or two questions. I was able to participate in the Nobel Library Community Session. It was amazing. The children were very excited. The students were also there. It was very beautiful. I would like to improve the need for the interior of the bathhouse to be modernized. I am very happy to see the information we received in the initial details, surveys, and family changing rooms. It is very challenging to handle things in that bathhouse with children of different ages and languages. It is very challenging to handle things in that bathhouse with children of different ages and languages. It is very challenging to handle things in that bathhouse with children of different ages and languages. It is very challenging to handle things in that bathhouse with children of different ages and languages. Another thing is not only the pool from the aerial map, but also how much space there is. Although it can be seen when sitting there, it is clear that there is a space that is not used there when looking from the aerial view. Now, I am waiting for the best ways to make use of the place where the fence is tied. I think there are many possibilities that we have not used for the past 100 years, including plants and small plants. So I think we will look outside for the limits of this place. Then the question I have is how do you bring focus groups together? How do you decide who should be included in these focus groups for more opinions? A focus group is a group of people who are not selected because there are so many candidates for the task force. Secondly, we would like to bring a group of people from the ADA, ADHA department, those with disabilities, and those who have access to freedom of movement. We can accept that the Department of Agriculture is doing a good job, but a person who lives as a disabled person and knows how to handle it will not come to us and give an opinion based on our design ideas. Shemikanam. Adhaayadha, adha inikku nannayi yojikum, allengil evide aayana prashnam ulladha inna avarku parayan kajiyu. Adhukonda, avarude avipraayangal nyangal kelkan agrahikinnu. Avasanamayi, cheriya kuttigal ulla kudumbangal inna madhavithakal ude avipraayangal nyangal kelkan agrahikinnu. Chilappol adha. Shemikanam. Rando moono anjo kuttigalumayi verumpol, enda anna buddimuttugal enna thurannu parayan prayasamayi rikkum. Therefore, we would like to discuss how to make it more enjoyable for not only children but also parents to spend time in the nursery. Therefore, we would like to have a focus group to talk to them. That is a great hope, because going to the nursery with children of various ages is a great success, especially in terms of safety and safety. Therefore, I think these three focus groups are the right target for the next conference. If we go back to our task force members, they often discuss that if we turn our heads when we look at the children, we should be able to see a six-year-old child. So that's why it's come up so far. Thank you very much. You're right. Thank you for this great announcement.

I am very eager to hear about the next. Then I got help.

I don't know if you know him. First of all, I think you have a twin sister.

In such a short time, you have been able to ensure so much public participation. I really appreciate it. We have received such a big survey response in the public. That is really amazing. Looking at the whole timeline, you are moving very fast. I know that there are still a lot of things to understand. When the pool is open, you want to attract people. Let's say it's boring. It's been closed for over a year. Still, I feel that you are on the right track and that this speed is stopping. I want to see this complete. I'm sorry.

This is a short-term plan, so the Mayor's goal is to open a new pool in June 2028. We will manage that. My job is to show stability in a way that is flexible. We will ensure that we are on the right track for the next 10 years. This is a teamwork. I am happy that you have joined a very good team.

So, thank you. Does anyone else have anything to say? Umm. You had numbers from 1 to 9, right? Yes. The sixth point really attracted me, because the people who didn't use the pool said in the listening sessions, we don't go to the pool, but if we had facilities, we would go. I heard a lot of things like that. Therefore, I would like to see more people using such facilities. It would be nice if we could manage to manage other interesting things like lab swimming and other interesting things. That's a good thing. I'm happy that you're thinking of doing all that. I know it's not easy. But if it was something that everyone could do like baseball, wouldn't there be something special about it, right? Yes. This would be a great contribution. I really appreciate your actions.

We have to say that we have a very good design team. DS Architecture, Osborne Engineering, SWA Group, Councilman Hunsaker, and the community engagement leader Seventh Hill are a very good team. They are a very good team. Working with them was a very exciting experience. They are very responsive, and they have shown that they are very interested in this project. They are trying very hard to make this a success.

Thank you both. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you. Okay, do we have any reports from the Council Clerk?

I have a very small report. I am very happy to host the North East Ohio Municipal Clerks Association at this Friday's CET Hall. This is a day for the municipal clerks who are in the clouds for business development and cooperation. We will have two different educational sessions. The first is about education and self-development. This focuses on website accessibility. I know that our communications department is working on this now. The second session is very important to me. This is a digital preservation session with the vision of a record manager. That is, how to recognize permanent municipal boundaries, how to protect them, how to use regional digital protection methods, and how to strengthen electronic record laws for legal management needs while protecting the local history. The second point is very specific, because our city is now operating in two different ways. The Archival and Digitization Project, which is carried out under the direction of Director Sambed, is being implemented by me and others in the Tourism Department. That is a great thing. We think that we will soon be able to conduct some demonstrations about it. In addition, the city is now conducting a project to update the schedule of the city's long-term record. Thank you all. Okay, thank you, Adi. Okay, let's move on to the public opinion. Usually, when we get two public opinions that have nothing to do with legislation, we do it after the legislation. But since you two are here, we can do it now. Three minutes.

Peru, teruva, namukku tudangam.

Nyan kurachu kodi saavadhanatil samsarikanam ayrunnu. Karanam namal kaaringal maari marichirunnu, engilum.

President Kuda, Mayor Petrus, Council members, I am Mary Simpson, Hamster Road, Cleveland Heights, I have come here to talk about Don Brook. I saw their walking tour video to find out why the CWG district wants to move to our lower. I realized that they are rebuilding Don Brook to properly irrigate Malinigaran. To do this, they will have to change the ponds and ponds in the area, as well as cut down thousands of old trees. They believe that within 40 years, there will be a significant change in this than what is possible for nature. They say that they have been testing this method for 10 years, but not in such a big scale. I think they are testing us and we are a beta test site. I don't believe that man can do an air system engineering in a much better way than what nature has done. The first thing that was said was that the dam below would be stopped. They now see that it is cheaper to build a system below the university circle in Veda Lagoon and pour water into our dam. This new Ega Pommazhi means that the Veda Lagoon will be damaged for more than two years and its large trees and hundreds of years old air systems will be destroyed. This part is known as Horseshoe and the other part is known as Fine Arts Garden, but these are all part of the reconstruction of Donbrook. As far as I am concerned, the Donbrook Headlands, which stands systematically, should naturally flow from here to here. We should not decide what to do with the things below us. I don't believe that 40 years of experience in the sewer district is enough, but I believe that if they see a more profitable auction, they will always change their plans. Before we give up this doubtful beta test to get to the horseshoe lake, we need to appoint a personal consultant to guide us on other possible paths. This consultant should be only with us. Their actions should be visible to all our viewers. Thank you. John Gaul Greetings to all. I am John Gaul.

I live in the boulevard of 3444 Fairmont. Most of you know me. I have come here before. I don't want to come here regularly, but it's okay. That's how it ended. Is there anyone among you who sees me as a voter? Do you, as elected representatives, have any responsibility towards me as a resident and a citizen? Anyone? For example, if I have a problem with an agency in the city of Bharanakodavu, who should I approach? Is there anyone in the council to talk about the issues on his side? I spoke with Tony about what I was going to discuss. He spoke with Michael Reesu, the head of the agency I have a problem with. I felt completely overwhelmed without anyone to talk to or represent me. So, this is my problem. It is with the housing department. When I bought my property, there was a fence behind it, a fence on the ground. I didn't think about it. It was part of it. For the past 30 years, that fence has been destroyed. This is not on the ground, it is not in accordance with the law. You can call me if you need anything. I don't know when all this happened, but the house was sold and a new house was built. The first thing I noticed was what he did instead of improving it according to the rules of the government. Instead of doing bad things, he set up a campfire in his own area so that his leaders would not go out. I thought, let's stop. If the fire is good, it will be really good. That was done in a legal way. So I walked around the block in the name of Ayalvasi, closed his door, introduced him, said, Hey, the fire in between us is a problem. God, can you fix that? That did not happen. All this happened more than a year ago. I have a lot of messages that he and I sent to him. So I approached the housing department about this issue. Then who is to talk about this? It is their responsibility to talk about the work between us and the Ayyalvasis. That's what they're doing. Next, an inspector named William Ellington came to my house. He examined Veli. He said, I'll let you know in about two weeks. Two weeks later, he sent me a voicemail. But before sending that voicemail, he had sent a letter to the house on the other side of Veli. He said, we conducted an examination and found that there was no problem. You are guilty. There is no such law. They told me that we couldn't find out who was wearing the veil. We didn't know. That is, it was there, but we didn't know who was wearing it. How can the city council not know who owns a thing in the city? So, I tried to contact Inspector Mr. Ellington. He gave me his card. I called. Nothing else. I sent a message. He didn't call back. This went on for a long time. I kept calling. He never picked up the phone. I used to send messages in secret. He never called back. I felt that this continued effort was a failure. Because the next thing I got was from the Law Department, U.S. It is the sword of a man called Yun. That is, he asked me to stop it. I have some questions. How did they decide whose sword was that? Before making such a decision, what action did they take? Can you tell me? Sir, time is up. That's why. My time is up? Okay, this is what I have to say.

No, stop. I have a question to ask. A small question. Whose house is this? Three properties on one side, one on the other. According to the city law, no one is allowed to build a house here.

John, if you don't stand near the mic, no one will hear you.

I'm getting angry. I've been doing this for a long time. Okay. He built a new fence. He put a wire mesh against the rules in Mr. Union's letter and then he built an old fence right there. He denied all the conditions he said he had no right to do.

Your time is up. Let me ask you something.

Done? Then who will come to my house to demolish that fence? I understand. That's not it.

I don't need to get involved in this. Okay. Thank you.

I have a question to the legal director. I don't know how all this works. If we don't know where the property line is, what actually happens? Whose fence is that? No. No, John. Your time is up. Your laws. John. Okay. Who can build it? Okay.

I'll stop it here.

Let me say one thing. If he is not interested, I will leave him. Okay, let's see what's next. President, if you tell me something, our people have spent a lot of time working with Mr. Goal on this issue. I know that he did not get the results he wanted, but because the city could not find the source of this failure, this issue ended here as far as the city was concerned. This is a civil issue between Mr. Goal and the Ayyalvasis. This is how things go when there is no survey. Isn't that right? There is nothing wrong with that. That is, the president can answer a survey question, or not answer it. The problem is that the city council does not have the power to make such a decision. Then, the sunsets are often the reason for the clouds in the sky. This happens a lot of times. Their location, their location, their position, their position, etc. It happens a lot of times during the rainy season. It is not the job of the Municipal Assembly to tell where a person's things start and where they end. The Municipal Assembly does not have the right to do so. Therefore, it is advised to conduct a normal survey and to discuss it with their own representatives. It is not because someone is interested in helping the lawyers, but because it is not possible for the Municipal Assembly to go directly to the affected people. I understood. Okay, thanks for that. If I have permission, let me tell you. Mr. Goal may know that he wanted a guardrail for a long time. After I became the mayor, I promised him that. He fulfilled it. We are still trying to fulfill his needs. We are happy to work with him on that matter. However, the town hall thought that the complaint was over on that matter. Okay, thanks. We can now move on to the first sentences of the program that we are going to present. Aunty, continue. Resolution No. 162.2.2.6 is in my hands.

For the convenience of the council and for the development of the project, we are providing a summary of the costs for September 10. On September 15, at 6 pm, a session will be held in the council chamber to hear opinions from the public about the Christmas holidays. We ask you to share your opinions on this law that has been developed.

Okay, Sarah Stone, Councilwoman Gohan, your names have the same title. A little, but not that much.

That's why, the Committee of the Planning and Development Committee has some activities to share with the public. We would like to draw the attention of the public to the August 31 zoning code update in Avalokanayogam. The first thing we saw about the changes in the zoning code that we were going to discuss was in Avalokanayogam. It is available on the YouTube channel. Therefore, if you are interested in Devaayi, please visit Devaayi Aayogam. Then, on September 17, at 5-7 pm, there will be a public meeting about the zoning code update in the Coventry Library. There will be no presentation there. It will be an opportunity for the public to give their opinions. The residents will be informed about the zoning code updates that come in between 5 and 7 pm, whenever they want, and their reactions. In addition, by September 10, i.e. from 5-7 p.m. this Sunday, a meeting will be held at the Superior Schoolhouse on Landmark Commission 14391 Superior Road. They will meet the landmarks of Cleveland Heights and the people they protect. There is a new landmark in Laguna. Also, you will be able to know about the permanent landmark ordinance updates that we are proposing. Finally, on October 15, at 6 p.m., a general hearing will be held on the accessory duelling unit ordinance signed by the Planning and Development Committee. This is on the home page of the CET website. It will be a public hearing. We will be happy to share your opinions on the current ordinance with the council. That's all I have to say about the committee. Thank you. Thank you, Councilwoman. Vice President Larson. Thank you, President Kuda. It is reported that the Transportation Mobility Committee will arrive at 7 p.m. on September 30, Wednesday. The Climate Environment Sustainability Committee will arrive at 4 p.m. on September 14, Wednesday. In addition, the Committee of the Whole meeting which took place this evening, The Council has decided to transfer the legislation used in the Cleveland Heights Tree Commission to the Law Department for investigation. Thus, it will be possible to bring it forward to the Council as soon as possible. The committee members, especially Councilwoman Madhwaka, have investigated the underlying reasons for this agreement and have also submitted documents to the cities with tree commissions. There are such rules in many cities in our locality. Therefore, I am happy to see this tree commission legislation moving forward. Thank you to my co-council members. Thank you.

Welcome. Do you have other committee reports? Okay, let's move on to the old business. Or to the new business. Or to the council members' opinions. Are we going to finish this agenda quickly? Yes. Oh, I thought you raised your hand. That was the only response I got from you tonight. Continue, Councilman.

Thank you. I have a few things to say to the public. First, thanks to Councilman Jim Posch. On August 25, we held a Meet the Council event at the Caledonian Community Centre. Councilman Posch brought ice cream. I brought only my opinions. Many people participated in it. We have received a lot of questions and feedback from the residents. If you have anything else to say about the Councilman portion, I will let you know. But would you like to announce our next Meet the Council? October 28th. I turned off my computer.

Yes, October 28th. Yes.

I believe that there were many things that were not decided from 6 am to 8 am.

It was a very well-participated one. So, instead of giving ice cream and attracting people, we would like to give more details and give more opportunities to attract them and get more feedback. It was a practical time-saving event. Everyone who was there liked it. We got good feedback from the residents who were there. So, I am attached to the community I participated in.

We have handed over all the instructions, questions and opinions we received to the public to the Mayor and other council members. Therefore, everyone knows about the feedback we have received. We would like to continue conducting such events. I would like to thank the Public Works Department, Mayor Petras and CET Administrator Rees for the demo of the trackless leaf loader. This happened a few weeks ago, but preparations were made for this for months. This is the reason for the opening of the Baranagoodam, which is used to organize things. Yes, we will continue. It was a great experience to be able to talk about the way their activities were carried out along with the well-wishers of the street. What they liked, what they didn't like, what they were doing, and what they started to understand through this. So, special thanks to John Becker and the Baranagoodam for this. There are more things to come. A small introduction about Barbara Boyd Park. I took my 4-year-old daughter there on Sunday. If you haven't been to that place, that's new. This is for all the elders. I wish you all well to go there. I would like to announce that this September 11th is my 25th birthday. Even though I was in Cleveland for a long time, I am a New Yorker. When this happened, I was studying in New York in high school. As far as I am concerned, it is an emotional day. I am very upset with the City Council for the 25 dashes that take place at Fire Station No. 1 after 8 a.m. on this 9-1-1-5. I believe that the attack will start at 9 in the morning. That is the time when the first attack took place in the tower. But the soldiers have been required to reach there after 8 in the morning for 30 minutes. Is there a parking facility there? That is, no.

You can park behind the fire station. You can enter from North Taylor from there. But again, the fire station is close to CET Hall. Yes, that's right. So, I urge everyone to participate in this event.

I was wondering if it would be appropriate for the council to remain silent for a minute instead of September 11. I think that's a good thing.

Thank you.

Yes, thank you very much.

Certainly. Do council members have any other comments? Vice President Larsen. Vice President Larsen, do you have any comments as a council member? No. I think Gail is on mute.

I would like to thank EMT, EMT, and the people who helped me in my accident. They arrived there very quickly, very professionally, and introduced me with great care. So I arrived in Ashupatri. I had the confidence that they had brought me on the right path to get me well. In addition, a police officer came and assured me that my daughter's car had returned to her, because she was not allowed to travel. In short, I am very proud of our Department of Security. I am very grateful. So, thank you. Welcome.

Do you have any other comments? Okay. Council President's report. Okay. Let me tell Vice President Larsen. We hope you get well soon. We are happy that you are getting well. I was a professor when September 11 happened. Continuously, every year on September 11th, or if it was the first of the week, we used to discuss everything that had happened in the next few days. I had been taught in high school, so it was a valid thing. This may not be valid for all adults, but I thought it was valid for the classes I taught, and it was very important that the children had a lot of questions at all times. Last week, there were a lot of events on television. It is very interesting to think about it. Our mental state that day was like that. I think it was completely different from the present. But it will always be included in history. It should be like that. About 3000 people died that day, and I am happy to remember that day. Finally, although only a small number of people have participated in this event, this was the most important event of the year for me. Fortunately, you have included a lot of things that are happening now in the Rees Report. Splashpad is a symbol of things that have been going on for years but are now being completed. If the trees are removed, the more vehicles to remove the snow, road-todding, and ponds to be closed, all of these are a sign of a growth that people are paying attention to. Since you are the new Mayor, in the first year, you showed us how we are moving forward with today's Cumberland election. I know that I'm not a person who shows off. Some of you might have noticed that for years. I don't know why, but I don't show off. Still, when I hear about the good things that are happening now, I feel very hopeful. Seeing how much we work together and how much we complete things, I feel very happy and grateful. The only thing I had to do from the time I was chosen was to make things happen. As Michael Reese said, this is a teamwork. I am very grateful for that. So, with this happy heart, I ended this yoga session at 9.10 a.m. Shady.
