A motion was made by Mr. Belardo and seconded by Mrs. Holtzmeier to adopt Resolution No. R-9-15, and the discussion was: Ms. Berges asked how much Jaycox Road will be widened and Mr. Cummins answered that it will be widened from approximately 20 ft. in width to 28 ft. in width.

He said that any questions they might have would certainly be answered. Mr. Belardo announced that he is running for re-election for his seat as Councilman-at-Large. He hoped that the voters in the audience know his hard work and would support him on the ballot and he thanked them very much. Ms. Berges stated that at the last meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission, there was discussion about additional bike paths throughout the City and at an upcoming Council meeting they will probably have someone from the Commission present a plan for this. Ms. Berges also said that she was at St. Mary s of the Woods today and there were a number of residents at a meeting talking about the traffic getting out of CVS going east. They asked her if there was anything that could be done to make it easier for them to exit out of there so she wanted to bring this up. She did not know with the traffic signalization if there was a timing issue that could be a help. Mayor Jensen said that we looked at that and the problem is that the exit is too close in terms of the traffic light at Rt. 83. We can ask our engineer to look at that further but the issue was always, can you put another light that close and the answer was always, no, so that is one that we are kind of stuck with. We keep looking at ways to help there such as changing the entrance but it is just a bad location. Mrs. Holtzmeier noted that in the memo from the Finance Director regarding the second quarter revenue/expense reports, it mentions that the TIF revenues were different compared to budget and she asked Mr. Logan to expand on that collection and what has been happening. Mr. Logan responded that we receive TIF revenue twice a year right after property tax distributions, so we get it in March and in August. We know that there were a couple of mistakes and he pointed these out to the Deputy Auditor of the County and he is correcting those, so when we get our second half distribution, we will see a little more revenue as a result of that. Also, beginning tomorrow, we will be doing a comprehensive review of all the TIFed parcels, so we hope to find some other things that are probably just inconsistent with determining certain values. Mrs. Holtzmeier thanked Mr. Logan for that information and then reminded everyone to mark their calendars for the weekend of August 7 th August 9 th, when the State of Ohio has a sales tax exemption period on clothing, school supplies, and school instructional materials, so that is a good time to get school supplies. 11
Mr. McBride stated that his only comment was that CVS chose to put their drugstore there on that corner and he would suggest that if anyone complains about traffic, they should contact CVS. Mr. Witherspoon stated that he will be out of town on August 10 th. That is a Regular Meeting of Council and he has already talked to Council President Pro Tem Dan Urban about chairing that meeting. Mayor Jensen added that, just in case we will have somebody else who may miss it, we will need to do something to make sure that we have a quorum to pass legislation. Mr. Witherspoon said, yes, because that is the only Regular Meeting that we will have in August. Ms. Fechter announced that there is a new business in town called Creative Space, Art, and More, and is located at 33760 Lear Industrial Parkway. It is an Avon Lake resident who is a professional stained glass and mosaic artist. She is having grand opening in September but on this Saturday from 7:00 10:00 P.M, she is having a gallery show where she is going to feature a number of other local artists. What she has set up now is an incubator for artists, a way for them to come in and teach their art and actually grow their business.
