OPENING OF BIDS – LANDSCAPING – SNOW REMOVAL CONTRACT
The City received one bid for the new landscaping-snow removal contract. The contract is for four years with an option for two additional years for a total of six years The bid was submitted by Kirzinger & Shane, Inc. d/b/a Edwards Landscaping. Mayor Falk stated that after perusal of the contract and if there were no irregularities, the contract would be awarded to Edwards.

COMMENTS FROM CITIZENS
Mr. Mike Poole, representative of Dairy Mart from Ohio, presented a new rendering of plans to renovate the convenience store located at Carslaw Court and U. S. 42. The Mayor will consider the renovations after receiving the final site plans. Changes suggested include recessed lighting to address light pollution problems and several sign changes to conform to the City’s Sign Ordinance.

Mrs. Judy Branham, owner of 6714 John Hancock Place, asked the Council to consider her remodeling plans to include a front facing garage. Mrs. Branham presented original plans which had been previously approved by the City showing the garage to be front facing. This development was built before the City ordinance prohibiting front facing garages and possibly would be grandfathered in. Mrs. Branham also has approval for her plans from the John Hancock Place Board of Directors. Mayor Falk said he would consult with the City Attorney and would let her know his decision.
