MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO SPEAK TO ANY MATTER (NOT TO EXCEED FIVE (5) MINUTES)
Mario Piano of the Chagrin Valley Jaycees requested permission to hold the 55th annual Blossom Time Festival from May 27, 2010 through May 31, 2010. Pete Moisis of the Chagrin Valley Jaycees requested permission to extend the hours of the festival from 10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There are two concerns; the Orange Street residents and the police department’s opinion. There was lengthy discussion, comments were heard, and questions were answered. Chief Brosius said extending the festival one hour won’t be an issue for the police department. Mr. Patton said next year the Jaycees should poll the Orange Street residents and get their opinion before they come to Council for approval.
Moved by Mr. Patton, seconded by Mr. Milko that we permit the Jaycees to use Riverside Park for Blossom Time between May 27, 2010 and May 31, 2010 and that, at least for this year, we permit them to use the park until 11:00 p.m. subject to the police monitoring that and subject to the cooperation between the Jaycees and the police department in honoring any requests that the Chagrin Falls police may have. I would also ask that if you come back next year and ask to stay open until 11:00 p.m., if you could maybe provide us some input from the residents so we can take that into consideration. Mr. Williams said a modification to your motion is that we limit the 11:00 p.m. extension to the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, which are the 28th, 29th, and 30th and, of course, they shut down early on Monday anyway. Mr. Patton said they don’t open on Monday. Carried. Ayes: Evans, Jacobs, Lutz, Milko, Patton, Subel, Williams. Nays: None.
Mr. Moisis also explained that they would like to have en evening parade from Spillway to Vincent Street to Bell Street to Main Street, between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on Saturday night with a limit of one dozen illuminated floats. Mr. Patton said they will have to get back to the Jaycees in a couple of weeks on the evening parade.
Mr. Moisis requested permission to hold the annual Taste of Chagrin on Saturday, May 29, 2010 and Sunday, May 30, 2010 on North Franklin Street until 11:00 p.m.
Moved by Mr. Patton, seconded by Mr. Milko that we permit the Jaycees to have the Taste of Chagrin again in the Village for two days as stated by Pete and that we permit it this year to be extended until 11:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Carried. Ayes: Evans, Jacobs, Lutz, Milko, Patton, Subel, Williams. Nays: None.
MISCELLANEOUS
Mr. Subel asked if the District One Public Works Integrated Committee recommended projects and 2010 funding should be going through Council? Mr. Himes said yes. Every year we apply for OPWC funds for various projects around the Village. We have applied for Solon Road, North Street, and various other roadway projects. This year we have applied for the Solon Road water main and generator improvements and were granted those two so we will be preparing legislation for Council to authorize those projects.
ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Patton adjourned the meeting at 8:43 p.m.
