REPORTS Mayor Jones: I do, Mr. President, thank you. • Our Oxcart Food Pantry Director Wilder will be on vacation, just so that, in case your residents have reached out to you, coverage has been arranged for the food pantry. However, this Thursday, the pantry will be completely closed. However, that won't affect food distribution, which is handled on Wednesdays, but I did want to let Council know what was going on there. 02-17-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 2 • The Rec Center has asked us to remind our community that because many families and residents and visitors enjoy this shared community space every day, and to help keep the facility clean and safe and inviting, we kindly ask that all recyclables be placed inside the designated receptacles located throughout the Rec Center. Please don't leave recyclables on the ground, around the outside of the receptacles, or in surrounding areas. Properly disposing of waste helps prevent litter from spreading, protects our grounds and wildlife, and ensures that the Recreation Center remains a pleasant place for all of us to gather. • This is a reminder to add to your calendars, next month on March 26th will be the State of the City event and this year it's going to be in a slightly different format to include a combined event with the school district. So the School Superintendent will also be giving his State of the Schools at the same time, and more details will come in the coming weeks. • Director Upton and I will be traveling to Washington, D.C. next Tuesday to meet with members of the U.S. Senate delegation and our congressmen to advocate for infrastructure investment in North Olmsted, just as we've done in years past. We will be discussing the importance of federal support for improvements to our roads, utilities, public facilities, and other essential systems that directly impact the safety, economic vitality, and quality of life for our residents. These conversations are an important step in ensuring our community remains competitive, resilient, and well-positioned for future growth. • And at the beginning of March, we will say goodbye to Director Upton. Under his leadership, we've seen the issuance of 192 business licenses, and reached the next level of engagement with businesses and in the community, that I've been looking for when I first took office; and to further showcase his determination, tonight the administration is proud to introduce Ordinance 2026-14, which, after tireless conversations and extensive work, will help facilitate the redevelopment of the Sears parcel at Great Northern Mall in Ward 4. Director Upton has been a tremendous part of our administration. I'll miss him personally and professionally, and of course, we wish him the very best in all of his future endeavors. We have posted the position, and are actively seeking a replacement to ensure as smooth a transition as possible, and that, Mr. President, concludes my report. Council President Brossard: Thank you, Mayor. Law Director Gareau, do you have a report this evening? Law Law Director Gareau: No report this evening, sir, thank you.

Resolution 2026-11 was recommended to Council by Councilwoman Gilchrist, seconded by Councilman Scarl, and passed by a vote of 2-0. The meeting concluded at 7:22 p.m. That concludes the report, Mr. President. Thank you. 02-17-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 6 Council President Brossard: 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, Mr. President, thank you.

Director Upton and the Sheetz representatives that were present provided an overview of the project, which includes the demolition of the existing Rite Aid building and construction of a new 10,710 square foot building. The Sheetz will include gas pumps, convenience store, and food sales, including a mobile order pickup window. The location will be open 24-7 and will have approximately 30 employees. The building itself will be closer to the street with the gas pumps and main entrance behind the building. The rear of the building facing Lorain will contain full windows to break up the brick facade and enhance the overall appearance. There will be increased green space and plantings, including retaining multiple mature trees. The site will include an entrance and exit on Stearns Road. Vehicles exiting onto Stearns will be restricted to a right turn, which is northbound only. New turn lane striping will be installed on Stearns to support safe and efficient traffic flow. An additional entrance and exit drive will be provided on Lorain Road, along with a separate entrance-only lane to improve site circulation. Vehicles exiting onto Lorain Road will be permitted to turn either eastbound or westbound. The building will have a shared and coordinated signage with the existing Dunkin' Donuts on the site to maintain continuity and comply with the Lorain Road corridor standards. There was additional questions and discussions about security, traffic flow, and the impact on the surrounding neighborhood. Overall, the plan was received positively from both Committee and Council, and the Committee voted 3-0 to recommend PDC Plan 317-2025. Mr. President, at this time, I would like to make a motion to recommend PDC Plan 317-2025 and ask for a second. Councilman Madden: Second. Council President Brossard: Motion to approve PDC Plan 317-2025 Sheetz, made by Councilman Marrie, seconded by Councilman Madden. Roll call, please. 02-17-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 7 Council Clerk: Mr. Marrie: Yes Mr. Madden: Yes Mr. Limpert: Yes Ms. Carr: Yes Mr. Scarl: Yes Council President Brossard: PDC Plan 317-2025 Sheetz, is approved by a vote of 5-0. Councilman Marrie: • Thank you. Next on the agenda was a proposed reduction of the second northbound turn lane from Lorain Road to Stearns Road. An analysis was conducted in conjunction with the Sheetz Project, which concluded that a second turn lane is not warranted, traffic volumes are lower than originally projected, and the additional lane creates an overly wide roadway that can encourage speeding. Removing the second turn lane would enhance safety by helping to slow traffic and provide environmental benefits, including increased green space and reduce stormwater runoff. If approved, the project timing would be in line with the Ohio Department of Transportation's Lorain Road repaving project, allowing the work to be completed efficiently and with minimal disruption. The proposal will also need additional approvals as a BZD approval is just the first step in the process. Following feedback and discussion, the Committee voted 2-1 in favor of the proposal. Mr. President, at this time, I would like to recommend a PDC plan to remove the second northbound turn lane from Lorain Road to Stearns Road and ask for a second. Councilman Madden: Second. Council President Brossard: Motion to approve PDC's recommendation to remove the right turn lane on Lorain Road, turning north onto Crocker Road [Stearns Road], made by Councilman Marrie, seconded by Councilman Madden. Roll call, please. Council Clerk: Mr. Marrie: Yes Mr. Madden: Yes Mr. Limpert: No Mr. Scarl: No Ms. Carr: Yes Council President Brossard: Removal of the right turn lane on Lorain Road, turning north onto Crocker Road [Stearns Road] is approved by a 2-3. 02-17-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 8 Councilman Marrie: The Building, Zoning and Development meeting ended at 8:11 p.m. This concludes my report. Thank you. I'm sorry. Council President Brossard: I’m Sorry, correction, it's not approved. It needed four votes to be approved. [failed by a vote of 3-2]. Councilman Marrie: Thank you. The Building, Zoning and Development meeting ended at 8:11 p.m. This concludes my report. Thank you. Council President Brossard: Councilwoman Carr, Chairwoman of the Intra-Governmental Relations Committee, do you have a report this evening? Intra-Governmental Relations Committee Councilwoman Carr: Yes, I do, Mr. President.

Council President Brossard: Thank you. I do not have a report this evening, but I'm going to take a moment of personal privilege. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Director Upton for bringing his considerable talents to North Olmsted. I truly believe that we have had more economic development achievements in your four years here in the city than we did in the previous 12 years combined. So I appreciate that, I thank you for that. I will miss your energy, but more importantly, I'll miss your impressive dress sock collection. Thank you. Councilman Limpert: Thank you Mr. President, may I have a moment of personal privilege. I realized that, I looked around and I think I was, besides for Mr. Brossard, the only one who worked with the other previous planning director, that's on council today, and as the Building and Zoning Development Chair for the last four years, Mr. Upton has expanded my horizons immensely on the different tools and mechanisms that could be used for economic development, and I'm thankful for that. I appreciate his partnership, his willingness to rework drafts as I held things in committee for several meetings, but I think we are all better for that, and just wish you the best of luck in your next role, thank you. COMMUNICATIONS Council President Brossard: Thank you, are there any letters or communications to come before Council at this time? Council Clerk: No, Mr. President. Council President Brossard: Alright, thank you. We will now move into audience participation. Thank you for attending tonight's Council meeting. 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: Jeff Sturgeon, 3092 West 231. Two quick things. With Chris going to the Rec Commission, do we lose him at the Charter Review Commission if something should come up? Law Director Gareau: Do we lose him? 02-17-26 Council Meeting Minutes - Page 12 Jeff Sturgeon: Will he still be allowed to be on two commissions? Law Director Gareau: No, no, he'll have to resign from the Charter Review Commission. Since it's not a Charter Review year, it's a standing body, so he'll be appointed, but then promptly recess until necessary. So that appointment could be made as soon as possible, or you never know. It's not the only function of Charter Review, Mr. President. I'm sorry, I just started talking. The Charter Review, if somebody on Council was to introduce a piece of legislation to amend the Charter outside of the charter review process, it still goes to Charter Review. So it would be important to have all of our members ready in the event something happens outside of the actual charter review process. [inaudible] Jeff Sturgeon: I also would like to thank Mr. Upton for the time he served with this City. Kind of sad to see you go. I do wish you well. You really impressed the heck out of me, you really did. I really hate to see you go. I hope you always remember that the first resident to shake your hand after you got signed was me. Thank you. Council President Brossard: All right, seeing no other comments from the audience, we will now move into legislation. Legislation.
