ANNOUNCEMENTS
President Pro Tem Scarl:
If there are no additions or corrections, the Council Meeting Minutes of January 20, 2026, are
approved as written.

There are no items being requested for suspension this evening.

Moving into reports, Mayor Dailey Jones, do you have a report this evening?

REPORTS
Mayor Jones:
Yes, Mr. President, I do.
•
First, despite the city issuing citywide text alerts, adding information to the city sign and
numerous social media posts, we received comments from a number of residents
indicating that they were unaware of recent severe weather alerts, emergency parking
bans, and delayed trash pickups. So we've taken additional steps to reinforce this
information. Specifically, we encouraged and provided instructions to our social media
followers to sign up for the city's free alert system so they can receive timely
notifications and never miss these types of important announcements. This proactive

02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 2

outreach will hopefully reduce future confusion and improve overall communication
with residents.
•
And in that vein, I wanted to remind all residents that City Hall will be closed on
February 16th in observance of President's Day.
•
Next, Anthony Strazzo began his service as our fire chief yesterday, February 2nd. Chief
Strazzo is working closely with Chief Shepp, whose final day with the department will be
March 20th of this year. This will ensure a smooth and effective transition of leadership,
and we welcome Chief Strazzo to North Olmsted.
•
This has been a busy time for our service department, who've done a remarkable job
clearing the snow and maintaining safe roadways during multiple high-impact winter
storms, and their efforts have not gone unnoticed. The city received numerous calls and
emails from residents expressing appreciation for the condition of the roads and the
excellent level of service provided, and we still have, I'm sure, many more roads to plow
before this winter's over.
•
Lastly, we were deeply saddened to learn on Friday of the passing of one of our own,
Tony Farrella. Tony had faithfully served as our fleet manager for nearly 24 years, and he
was both beloved and widely respected. His loss is felt profoundly across our
organization and across our entire community. Our thoughts are with Tony's family,
friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. In his honor, the flag at City Hall has
been lowered to half-staff in remembrance of our dear friend and colleague, and that,
Mr. President, concludes my report.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you. Law Director Gareau, do you have a report this evening?

Law
Law Director Gareau:
I do, Mr. President. Thank you.
•
First, to echo the Mayor's comments about Tony, I would say a true gentleman and
dedicated to working for the City of North Olmsted, and it's easy to say this when
somebody passes. You might think somebody's exaggerating or speaking a certain way.
Probably the nicest person that worked at this complex. It didn't matter where you
were, who you were, a friendly smile, a serious worker, and like I said, a gentleman, a
deeply felt loss, and my prayers are with his family and his coworkers.
•
Sadly, we also lost, for those old-timers that have been around. Don't call us old-timers.
We're just long-timers. Right, Lisa? We're all long-timers, not old-timers. Sandy Purper
worked here for 30 years. It's been a number of years since she retired, and she was in
the Safety Division, worked with the Fire Department, and then lastly, I believe she was
with Carolyn Kassler as the Safety Director, and then I think Tom Jenkins following her,
and I think one or two more Safety Directors. She was still here working with them.
Again, a sweetheart of a person, very kind, and I'm sure the community will feel her loss,
if for no reason other than the spirit that she brought to every room she entered. So I
wanted to bring that to your attention as well.

•
I'm pleased to announce that Mr. Bryce Moyer has joined the Law Department as our
law clerk. Remember last year, we talked about how difficult it was to find law clerks.
We increased the compensation, and we were able to secure him on staff. He's being
trained, but we're very much looking forward to having him with us, hopefully for a
couple years, because he's just a 1L. He's in his first year, and we like to keep him until
they take the bar, so hopefully we can keep him for a couple years. So glad to have him
on board.
•
We were named as a defendant in a lawsuit, New Rez LLC v. Leonard Miller Jr. It's kind
of a routine, we get them, they come in with their foreclosure matters. The city has an
interest probably for cutting grass and hitting them with a lien or something. But we'll
go ahead and file an answer on behalf of the city of North Olmsted for that.
•
Lastly, I don't know if you saw the video from over the weekend of a wrestling
tournament taking place at North Olmsted High School, and in that video, you don't see
the whole thing, but you see what is either a parent or a parent coach, enter onto the
mat and confront a young official officiating the wrestling tournament, take a swing at
him, at least it appeared that way, and then a bit of a brawl began between the referee,
the official defending himself, and the person who had gone out onto the mat. And, you
know, I see that, and I actually experienced that once as a parent in North Olmsted over
on Barton Bradley Fields where somebody was chirping at the referee, the referee asked
him to stop. Somebody said, you're not talking that way to my wife, went out and hit
the referee. I've actually seen that happen. I've seen parents go at it. One of them was
thrown down and landed on top of a stroller. Thank God there wasn't a child in it. Six-
year-old girls are all crying. Everybody runs off the team. The police get called. I think it's
ridiculous, and it might be in the interest of the community for the administration and
you, to look into this as to what, if anything, we can do. We could put a call out to our
partners in the community. You have Hot Stove, you have NOSO, the hockey club, and
going beyond that, our own people at the recreation center and even the sportsplex to
talk about what types of problems we're having to see if there's something that we
could do legislatively or administratively to try to get out ahead of this because it's gone
on too long. It's outrageous behavior. It needs to stop. So maybe there's a legislative fix.
We do have crimes that can be charged. The individual here will face prosecution. But
I'm left thinking that it didn't seem like there's not enough available to us to be able to
charge him with. Maybe there's an opportunity for it, and the victim didn't want to
press charges, okay, as I understand it, he's entitled to his due process. He can go to
trial. He's entitled to presumption of innocence, but it's hard to beat the video, right?
But nevertheless, maybe there's something you could do here in the next 30 days. We
could invite our partners from the other community organizations, have a conversation,
and say, how are you seeing this? What's taking place? What are your policies for how
you deal with it, and how can we help? And I think I was just thinking about that
yesterday, and I would like to encourage you, in combination with the Mayor and the
Administration and my office, to take a closer look at this. It's embarrassing to the
people involved, and it's shameful, and this type of stuff needs to come to an end, and it
should start now, if not a years ago. So something to think about as you're kind of in the
course of the next week to ten days, if you're looking at committee meetings or things

02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 4

like that. Maybe we can start that dialogue, see if we can come up with some solutions
to this ongoing problem. So with that, Mr. President, that concludes my report. Thank
you.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you, Director Gareau. I just have one quick comment. I believe that official was a North
Olmsted graduate that played football and wrestled here…

Law Director Gareau:
A fairly young man, this official was a young individual. You know, in a lot of these
organizations, Mr. President, if I may, in our Rec Center, we have officials, they're kids, they're
minors, they’re that are out there. Who do you think is out there doing Rec League Baseball?
They're kids, and what's happening from the sideline from the parents is outrageous, and here,
it just went above and beyond outrageous. So, yeah, a young man. Handled himself about as
well as he possibly could have under those circumstances, but it's enough is enough.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you. Director of Finance Radeff, do you have a report this evening?
Finance
Finance Director Radeff:
I do. Thank you, Mr. President.
•
W2s were sent out last week to city employees.
•
The budget is well on its way. I hope to have a draft to directors early next week, give
them a couple days to make sure everything that they planned on being in there, is in
there; and then late next week have a draft to council.
•
I am planning for budget hearings February 28th, and that concludes my report. Thank
you.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you. Moving into Council Committee reports. Councilman Limpert, Chairman of the
Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee, do you have a report this evening?
Public Safety, Health and Welfare Committee
Councilman Limpert:
No report this evening, Mr. President, but if I could have quick moment. I just want to echo the
Mayor and Law Director's comments. I'm sure I speak for all Council, that Tony Farrella is one of
the truly valued resources here in the city. He came with such a passion and a love for his job
and a knowledge of his craft. And he brought that to any time he consulted Council or advised
us. We always knew that his decision was what was in the best interest for the city and the
taxpayers, and the efficiency of the Service Department, and to make sure our fleet was really
effective. I’m obviously not the only person that has spoken so highly of him in regard to that,
but it's definitely a loss for us, and I only hope that the Service Department can find someone to
fill those shoes.

Finance Committee
Councilman Scarl:
Thank you. I will provide the Finance Committee report this evening. The Finance Committee
met on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Present were all of Council, the Mayor,
Directors of Law, Finance, Economic Development, Service, Recreation, and the Chief of Staff.
• On the agenda was Resolution 2026-5, the library lease agreement. The Mayor
explained North Olmsted’s unique relationship with the county library, wherein the city
owns the building, which was constructed after a local levy, and leases it to the county
library for a nominal fee. Law Director Gareau added that the proposed action simply
resets the existing lease term to extend 20 years beyond the upcoming major capital
improvements; noting the lease is otherwise substantially the same as the current one.
Jeffrey Mori, the COO at the Cuyahoga County Public Library, was also present to detail
the approximately $3.5 million in improvements made or planned, including roof
replacement, parking lot work, and interior renovations. After some questions from
committee and council, Resolution 2026[-5] was recommended to council by a vote of
3-0, and the committee concluded at 7:18 p.m.
Law Director Gareau:
Mr. President, if I may, just to let council know, I have received a working draft back with
modifications, including the one requested by, proposed language that Mr. Limpert requested.
So I just wanted to let the council know we did receive that back for our consideration.
President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you, moving on. Councilwoman Gilchrist, Chairwoman of the Recreation, Public Parks
and Buildings Committee, do you have a report this evening?
Recreation, Public Parks and Buildings Committee
Councilwoman Gilchrist:
I do not have a report, but I would like a moment of personal privilege.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Sure.

Councilwoman Gilchrist:
Tony was a great guy. He will be truly missed. Thank you.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Councilman Madden, Chairman of the Environmental Control Committee, do you have a report
this evening?
Environmental Control Committee
Councilman Madden:
No, Mr. President, no report this evening. Thank you.

02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 6

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Councilman Shymske, Chairman of the Streets and Transportation Committee, do you have a
report this evening?
Streets and Transportation Committee
Councilman Shymske:
Yes, I do, Mr. President. The Streets and Transportation Committee met on Tuesday, January
27, 2026, at 7:18 p.m. in the Caucus room. Those in attendance were committee members
Shymske, Gilchrist, and Carr, Council Members Limpert, Scarl, Madden, and Marrie. Also
present was Mayor Jones, the Chief of Staff, the Directors of Law, Finance, Economic
Development, Service, Recreation, and Guests.
•
On the agenda was one item, Resolution 2026-4, Dover Center Road, Phase II. Mr.
Upton explained that the project would span Dover Center Road from Butternut Ridge
to approximately 400 feet before Mill Road. The project is expected to cost $465,000.00
and has a 50-50 split with Cuyahoga County up to $500,000.00. Ideally, the project
would begin at the end of school so it can be done before school starts, but that may
not be possible due to the third-party contractors involved. Council was assured that
they would be updated on all evolutions of the project, such as detours and road
closures. A motion was made to recommend Resolution 2026-4 to the rest of Council,
and it was properly seconded. The motion passed by a vote of 3-0, and the Streets and
Transportation Committee concluded at 7:24 p.m. That's all for my report.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you. Councilman Marrie, Chairman of the Building, Zoning and Development Committee,
do you have a report this evening?
Building, Zoning and Development Committee
Councilman Marrie:
Yes, I do, Mr. President. Thank you. The Building, Zoning, and Development Committee met on
Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 7:25 p.m. Present were Committee Members Marrie, Madden,
and Limpert, Council Members Carr, Gilchrist, Shymske, and Scarl, the Mayor, Directors of
Finance, Law, Economic Development, Service, the Chief of Staff, and Guests.
•
On our agenda was PDC Plan 264-2025, which was for Weber Automotive, located at
28820 Lorain Avenue. Director Upton gave an update on the plan, which involves the
construction of a second building on the site. The building will be approximately 10,000
square feet and has been in development for approximately two and a half years, and
the land also includes a section of the forest property. This building will have a
stormwater retention basin on the north side, and the water and sanitary lines will be
tied into the forest development. Mr. Brian Weber also gave information about the
expansion, primarily needing the increased building and space due to an increased
demand for European and EV model vehicle repairs. The construction will take 10 to 12
months, and once completed, there will be an additional six new employees, with the
possibility of an increase of up to 10 or 11 employees within two to three years. There
were several questions and discussion about the new building and its proximity to the

02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 7

new forest development, but those were set aside with details regarding the setback,
tree lines, and fencing. The building will also be a drive-through style, with only one
entrance and one exit, which will minimize noise to the surrounding community. The
Committee and Council thanked Mr. Weber for his strong ties to the community and for
reinvesting in his business. The Committee voted 3-0 to recommend PDC Plan 264-2025.
At this time, I would like to make a motion to approve PDC Plan 264-2025, and ask for a second.
Second.

Councilman Madden:
Second.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
There's a motion to approve PDC Plan 264-2025, made by Councilman Marrie, seconded by
Councilman Madden. Roll call, please.

Council Clerk:
Mr. Marrie: Yes
Mr. Madden: Yes
Mr. Shymske: Yes
Ms. Carr: Yes
Mr. Limpert: Yes
Ms. Gilchrist: Yes
Mr. Scarl: Yes

President Pro Tem Scarl:
PDC Plan 264-2025 is approved by a vote of 7-0.

Councilman Marrie:
The Building, Zoning, and Development meeting ended at 7:40 p.m. This concludes my report.
Thank you.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you. Councilwoman Carr, Chairwoman of the Intra-Governmental Relations Committee,
do you have a report this evening?
Intra-Governmental Relations Committee
Councilwoman Carr:
No, Mr. President, I do not. Thank you.
COMMUNICATIONS
President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you. Are there any letters or communications to come before Council at this time?

Council Clerk:
No, Mr. President.

02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 8

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you. We will now move into audience participation. Thank you for attending tonight's
Council meeting. Public comment offers the opportunity for members of the public to share
information and bring issues and concerns to the attention of City Council members. It is not a
debate, and public comment speakers should not expect a back-and-forth exchange. Council
members may, however, ask clarifying questions of the speaker, City staff, or fellow Council
members. Those attending City Council meetings should show the same respect to others that
they wish to have shown for them. So if there is anyone in the audience who would like to
address Council, please come to the podium, state and spell your name and address for the
clerk. If you live in a city other than North Olmsted, please state the name of that City and
proceed with your comments. You will have up to five minutes

Jeff Sturgeon:
[inaudible] Before I forget, the snow removal has been perfect. Great job with that. I did notice,
even I noticed on the way coming up here tonight, that I love how the city does Lorain Road,
the sidewalk, with that … what's it called?

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Bombardier

Jeff Sturgeon:
But a lot of the different businesses that I noticed, when they plow their aprons, they plow it up
right over the sidewalk. So there's a pile of snow taller than I am, and I had two people on the
way up here tonight where they had to walk out into the street around the snow and then get
back on the sidewalk. The other day, I came close to being in an accident because of that. I
think that it kind of irks me that these businesses are getting their sidewalks done for free, and
they're too lazy to go out there and just, after the guy plows the snow on their apron, get their
butt out there and shovel that. So there's a clear path rather than a mountain. I don't know if
anybody can go and talk to these different businesses. You can drive down the road, and not all
of them, there's just a handful of them between here and my street. I don't know what it is
down there. But it just kind of irks me that they're lazy to do it.

Next thing I'd like to say is I'd like to thank the Mayor, the Law Director, the Council, and
everybody for the kind words they just said to Tony about Tony Farrella. Some people in this
room know that Tony was my oldest, longest, best friend since being in childhood, we were
inseparable. We were in each other's weddings, everything we did. Before he worked for the
city, he also would work for me. He was the best employee I ever had. He did things that no
other guy could do in that service department, like his paint jobs, painting that hockey thing
that he did… . I don't know what that's called?

Law Director Gareau:
Zamboni.

02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 9

Jeff Sturgeon:
Zamboni. There you go. Yeah. He painted that. If you look at some of our trucks and stuff,
you'll see pinstripings on the rims. He was known to put flames on things. The guy had vehicles
that would be at Autorama, Cleveland Autorama, with his paint jobs on it that won awards
because people knew he knew how to lay out flames and paint them. I thank the Mayor for
lowering the flag for half. Really, I think that says a lot. Yeah, we lost. It was a big, huge loss. A
big, huge loss. It's unbelievable. About a month ago, Tony gave me a sign that he, when he
cleaned out the sign area, gave me the original West 231 sign that he had found. He worked on
that clock on the Lorain Road at the fire station. I think everybody drives by the fire station.
Look at that clock, remember, Tony. How many other people in what other city would take
somebody to work in their service department. Tony was so committed to getting that clock
working. He made a couple parts, he talked to people in other countries. He went up there and
fixed it. He was so proud of that. I think everybody, next time you drive by the, what is that,
number two? You drive by number two. Look at that clock and remember my good friend,
Tony.

Daniel Ridgway:
Good evening. Daniel Ridgway, R-I-D-G-W-A-Y. I live a long way away from here. I'm out on the
far east side of Geauga County, but I'm here tonight representing the Cuyahoga County Public
Library as Director of Facilities. I would like to just extend our sincere thanks to the Mayor, Mr.
President, and the rest of City Council for the consideration of our lease extension and allowing
us to continue our wonderful partnership with the residents of North Olmsted and as well, our
continued financial investment in the property. So, thank you.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you.

Bruce Brewer:
Good evening. My name is Bruce Brewer at 4456 Root Road. I'm the first resident [inaudible],
I'm the first resident on the west side of Root Road. I butt-up against the property of Ganley.
For those of you who have been here a while, as I have, Ganley said they'd be great neighbors
when they moved in. They aren't. The piece of property behind, between my house and
Ganley's was recognized as a wetlands, and part of the deal when Ganley moved in here is that
they would maintain that property as a natural part of North Olmsted. In August, I wrote a
letter to the manager up at Ganley complaining… I wasn't complaining, I notified them that
there's a dead tree, that if it fell, there was a possibility it could hit my garage. No big deal. It
wouldn't cause much damage, but I thought I'd put them on notice. Three, about four weeks
later, they cut down five live trees before they cut down the dead tree. Left it all laying there.
They destroyed the whole ambience of that neck of woods. There is no reason for it. I don't
know if the city has an arborist, but the city's supposed to be keeping an eye on Ganley and
what they do with that piece of property, they haven't. They're supposed to maintain the fence
between Ganley and my property, they don't. I have to pick up garbage every spring that blows
off from their parking lot into my woods. They're unresponsive, and as the gentleman here was
talking about snow removal, they have 500 feet of footage on the resident's side of this road,

02-03-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 10

both on the east side and the west side of Root Road. They have never shoveled a flake of snow
off that. The whole rest of the neighborhood does their sidewalks. Ganley can't be bothered.
Not only do they don't shovel it, they pile six feet of piles on the east side of the sidewalk. They
can't get through it. I believe that's a violation. You can't block a sidewalk like that. I've seen
people, and there's only one sidewalk on one side of the street on Root Road. People have to
walk in the street when they get up to that 500 feet off Lorain Road and walk in Lorain in the
middle of the street. They can't even cut across to the other side because Ganley's got that
blocked. There's no reason for it. And I would hope that the city would, I don't know, they're
supposed to be maintaining that property and they don't. It was an understanding, we were
told they would never put a driveway between both bus sides of Root Road. Well, we know
how that went. They got their driveway. But they are not good neighbors. They ignore
everything you try to do. They unload cars on our streets, I have complained. When they drive
a complete car transport and park it 50 feet off Lorain Road on Root Road, and start unloading
cars and not a thing is done about it, I call the police. They'll tell them to move on. There's no
ticket issued. There's no penalty given to Ganley. But they just keep on doing it. When Ganley
put in there, they guaranteed us they would not be unloading cars on Lorain Road, and it's not
just Ganley. They all do it. It's a traffic hazard. You can't see the other side of the street with
cars being unloaded, and yet they don't do a thing about it. Ganley says, well, they ticket the
driver, that's baloney. The drivers aren't ever going to pay the tickets, penalize Ganley for
allowing them to do it. When they put that dealership in, they guaranteed us they put more
than enough room for those transports to come in, unload, and leave, and yet they
continuously do it, and the fence between my property, we've complained about it. They don't
do a thing to re-finish it. So I just thought I'd let you know they're supposed to be good
neighbors, and they aren't. Thank you.

President Pro Tem Scarl:
Thank you. Seeing no other comments from the audience, we will now move into legislation.
