Mrs. BARLOS moved the report be approved in its entirety.  Roll call:  All members present voting yea, the Chair declared the motion carried. 

Mr. Coyle read the following report from the Public Information Committee: 

Public Information Committee 

The Public Information Committee met on April 30th to discuss the Maumee Arts Council request concerning the summer concert series. Present were committee members Brainard, Buehrer, and Coyle. Attending from Administration were John Jezak, Dave Hazard, Linda Wilker and Mayor Tim Wagener. Mr. O’Brien was in attendance representing the Maumee Arts Council and C. Julia Nelson from the Mirror.

 

Discussion centered on the locations of the two concerts.  Mr. O’Brien brought a revised request dropping the theater lot and moving the uptown location to the West Mews. Both Chief Zink and Chief Monto were excused from these proceedings but provided valuable insight regarding safety issues surrounding these new concert locations and were in support of both. Mr. Brainard expressed his concerns the effect of using the West Mews would have on the businesses that use that area for parking. Mayor Wagener, Mr. Buehrer and I felt that this year the West Mews was the best place to hold these in the uptown area as the city owned property is only taken out of service for this one day and the time associated with the summer fair.  Mr. Brainard then requested the committee address the two locations separately. At that time the committee unanimously agreed to support the concert, as we have in the past, at Arrowhead. Concerning the concert at the West Mews, Mr. Buehrer and I supported the location as we have in the past while Mr. Brainard voted against it.

 

Another issue surfaced during the course of the committee’s discussion about concert locations and that was funding of public events which had been removed from the Finance Committee at the April 19th Council meeting. Since at the time of our meeting this item was not in the Public Information Committee the conversation was limited. The committee did feel this issue needs further discussion and are recommending the funding of public events be placed in the Public Information Committee for further review.   

 

Respectfully submitted,

Michael Coyle, Chair

Douglas Brainard

Brent Buehrer

*********************

7:30 PM, Monday, May 17, 2004 

The Council of the City of Maumee, Ohio, met on the above date and time with the following members present:  Barlos, Brainard, Buehrer, Carr, Coyle, Shook and Zimmerman (7).  Mayor Wagener presiding. 

Mr. SHOOK moved to suspend reading the minutes of the May 3, 2004, meeting and to approve the Minutes Journal.  Roll call:  All members present voting yea, the Chair declared the motion carried. 

The Mayor opened a public hearing on the issuance of debt for St. Luke’s Hospital and stated that notice of the hearing was published in The Blade on May 3.  The Clerk read a letter from the Finance Director requesting consideration of the request of St. Luke’s Hospital.  He stated that the hospital will save approximately $2,000,000 over the next ten years of reduced interest cost with no impact on the City’s financial position. 

Jason George, bond counsel, stated the new equity structure will be more favorably accepted by investors now and in the future.  He added that the City will maintain its presence on the Board of Directors through provisions in the proposed lease.  Mr. SHOOK moved to close the public hearing.  Roll call:  All members present voting yea, the Chair declared the motion carried. 

Mr. SHOOK moved to authorize the issuance and sale of hospital facilities revenue bonds for St. Luke’s Hospital in an amount not to exceed $17,000,000, the transfer of title to the hospital, the lease and sub-lease of the hospital, and related documents.  This ordinance was considered at this time. 

The Mayor opened a public hearing on the recommendation of the Municipal Planning Commission to approve the application of CSB Investors, LLC, for amendment of the Planned Unit Development permit for Riverside Commons at 2500 River Road. 

Albert Carter, Temperance, Michigan, said he was a resident of the Children’s Home for a total of eight years and he believes the buildings should be saved.  Mike Matuszak, 621 Sackett Street, and George Snyder, 1046 Michigan Avenue, stated they would like to see the buildings restored.  Colleen French, 741 White Street, stated that she lived at the Children’s Home for three years and that she believes the arbor and benches in front of the administration building should be included in a memorial. 

Eric Beale, CSB Investors, stated that a memorial is being planned and that he believes the arbor and benches could be incorporated in it.  He further stated that the existing buildings proved too costly to renovate and that no offers were received to renovate them.  He said that asbestos has been removed from the remaining buildings, but they believe taking them down is the only option.  He added that the reduced density of this proposal has reduced the developer’s resources for rehabilitating the buildings.

 Mr. Buehrer recalled that CSB Investors was chosen by Council to develop the property because of its proposal to keep the old buildings and it was a major reason for his support of the project.  He further stated his concern about building villas on a new lower drive near the site of the former pool.  He questioned if construction of the lower drive could be delayed and developed last. 

Mr. Zimmerman stated he is concerned with the viability of the development because the plans keep changing. 

Mrs. Barlos asked the developers if they could wait to put the lower drive in.  Maryann Sluhan, CSB Investors, stated that they have tried to keep and restore the buildings.  She also stated that the proposed street needs to be constructed at once.  Mr. Beale stated that phased construction would be more expensive, that it would inconvenience the people already living in the development, and it would foster continued uncertainty for the project.  Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Coyle expressed concern over the site plan not reflecting a firm plan for a memorial. 

Irene Martin, Landmarks Preservation Association, requested for a six month moratorium on tearing the buildings down in order for a preservation expert to consult with new ideas for preserving the buildings. 

Mr. Buehrer stated that, while the administration building has the most architectural interest, he believes developers have made a reasonable effort to save the buildings.  He indicated his support for inclusion of the arbor and benches in a memorial. 

Paul Sullivan, Landmarks Preservation Association, stated that the use of old buildings brings value to the community and that buildings listed on the National Historic Register are eligible for tax credits.  He also cited the Valentine Theater, the Maumee Indoor Theater, and the warehouse district surrounding Fifth Third Field in Toledo as recent successes in historic preservation. 

Spiros Cocoves, CSB Investors, stated that two real estate developers have tried to market the buildings and that no one has made an offer on restoring the buildings. He further stated that CSB Investors has used all private money to develop the property and that, while they do not want to tear the buildings down, they feel they have no choice. 

Mr. CARR moved to close the public hearing.  Roll call:  All members present voting yea, the Chair declared the motion carried. 

Mr. Carr stated that comparison of historic preservation issues to non-residential developments must be made carefully.  He added that he supports using orphanages over foster care and requested that a memorial be defined for the site.  He also stated his belief that the extension of roadway should be phased.

Mr. Zimmerman read the following report from the Finance Committee: 

Finance Committee

On March 25, 2004, the Finance Committee met to discuss the issue of compensation for the Parks and Recreation Director and the compensation for the Law Director and/or Assistant Law Directors.  Present from the finance committee were Todd Zimmerman, Jenny Barlos and Brent Buehrer and Sheilah McAdams and Al Brogan from the law department.  Ms. McAdams and Mr. Brogan then left following a partial discussion regarding the law director salary.  The committee members and Dave Hazard and Linda Wilker subsequently met on April 22, 2004, to clarify procedural matters with the law director’s salary.

 

It was the Service Director’s recommendation that Dave Dugai receive a five percent increase in his salary.  Mr. Dugai has been instrumental in the continued tradition of a very successful summer recreation program and worked hard to help expand and broaden the program.  The committee was in unanimous agreement with a five percent increase and recommends likewise.

 

The issue of the law director’s salary and hourly rate was discussed and had been discussed in past meetings.  Linda Wilker provided the committee with a comprehensive report on the salaries and/or benefits that other comparable area law directors receive.  The committee discussed the issue and first unanimously agreed that the hourly rate paid to the assistant law directors should be the same as that of the law director.  Further, based upon comparable rates, industry practices, the length of time since the last rate increase and other factors it was unanimously recommended that the hourly rate of pay for the law director for hours over the number of allotted monthly hours required of the law director before an hourly billing begins should be raised to $135 an hour.  Thus it was the committee’s unanimous recommendation that the base salary of the law director be raised to $64,800 (40 hours * $35/hr * 12 months).  The hourly rate for time beyond the 40 hours a month shall be paid at the rate of $135 an hour.  The pay range for the law director should also be changed to a range of $45,000 to $65,000.

 

Finally, it was the committee’s unanimous recommendation that the pay increases and/or hourly pay rate increases be deemed effective as of April 1, 2004.
