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.

• 
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.

• As you see, we have a permanent, as well as a capital ordinance in front of you on the 
agenda today. I'm doing some final cleanup within our budget process to get the graphs 
and charts created so that we can get a digital copy to Council soon, and then shortly 
after that, your physical budget books will be ready in time for you to have some time to 
review before we complete the hearings on February 28th.  Thank you, that concludes 
my report.

Safety Director noted that all participating members of our current dispatch services to 
other municipalities, with the exception of Bay Village, are also members using TAC

First on the agenda was the discussion of PDC Plan 317-2025, which is the construction 
of a new Sheetz gas station at 29000 Lorain Road. 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.

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.

Directors of Law, Finance, HR, Economic Development, Safety, Service, Recreation, and the

• 
The purpose of the meeting was to interview the Mayor's appointment to the 
Landmarks Commission, Marcus McQueen.  Marcus shared with Council his interest in 
history, as well as his work at the Frostville Museum. It was clear his passion and 
knowledge would make him a great asset to the Landmarks Commission. All of Council 
were very impressed, and the Committee favorably recommended his appointment by a 
vote of 3-0. 
So at this time, I move to approve the Mayor's appointment of Marcus McQueen to the 
Landmarks Commission to serve the unexpired term of January 1, 2026, through December 31, 
2027, and ask for a second. 
 
Councilman Marrie:

Lastly, Mr. Chris Hartenstine is Council's appointment to the Recreation Commission. 
Because Mr. Hartenstine was interviewed by Council last year for the Charter Review 
Commission, Council has agreed to be considerate of Mr. Hartenstine's time and not 
interview him again, and subsequently suspend the role to be interviewed by the Intra-
Governmental Committee. Therefore, I move to suspend Rule 58.1, requiring an

Councilwoman Carr: 
And the Committee concluded at 6:55 p.m., and that concludes my report, Mr. President, thank 
you. 
 
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.

Council President Brossard:
