CLI REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 6, 1975 REGULAR MEETING - RECONVENED (CONTINUED) lighting, which was later provided, and a problem which existed in that the doors did not open to the outside. Mr. Richard Ludwick, 730 Park Avenue, asked when Delos House would be moving to its new location. Mr. Stephens indicated that, as soon as the building was certified for occupancy, the move would take place. He stated that the inspector was scheduled to make an inspection on October 9th. Councilman Serge indicated that only a few more items had to be taken care of. These items including lighting, the steps at the back, proper venting in the boiler room. He apologized for remarks made earlier (at the September 22nd Council meeting) which might have left doubt and confusion in many peoples' minds. He indicated that the residents had not been damaging the interior as he had thought, but were simply re -doing some of the work in order to comply with the state requirements. Mrs. Dolores Kovas, 608 Park Avenue, wondered who was actually responsi- ble for the entire operation. Mr. Stephens indicated that he was responsible for the Mental Healt Center participation. Mrs. Kovas felt the whole process was very slow and a great deal of time had been used up for "surveying ". Mr. Stephens indicated that budget revisions were required and quotations had to be revised. Mrs. Kovas indicated that Delos House was supposed to be operating on a line budget. She wondered if different funds for the rent, which had been used, was an ethical way to handle the situation. Mr. Stephens felt it was ethical. Mrs. Kovas wondered if everything that had to be done on Frances Street had been done on Bartlett Street. Mr. Stephens indicated that the Fire Marshall had approved the Bartlett Street location with the exception of one or two minor items which were rectified. Mrs. Kovas stated that a great deal of time had elapsed and she wondered when the move would actually take place. Council President Parent stated that the relocation had taken a great deal of time; however, after receiving the chronology of events, he felt the time for renovation was "not out of bounds He briefly summarized the events indicating that nine months had been needed for site selection, budget approval and development. He felt the move could have been accomplished in less time, but not by much. NEW BUSINESS Council President Parent indicated that the Board of Public Works had passed a resolution regardi the sale of real estate at 612 East Ohio Street. He stated that, if there was objection to the sale, the Council would have to notify the Board of Public Works.

Reznik as the Council's representative to the Public Transportation Corporation Board of Directors, seconded by Councilman Horvath. The motion carried. Councilman Serge wondered about the contractor for the sidewalk construction from Elwood, Olive Portage. He wondered about the type of work being performed. Mr. Rollin Farrand, Director of t Department of Public Works, indicated that Batteast had the contract, and the project was being done as a Barrett Law project. He indicated that, if anyone had any complaints, he would appre- ciate hearing them.
