Car Seat Safety & Inspection Program
On Saturday, September 9, at 10 a.m., the Grafton-Midview Public Library
will have a Car Seat Safety & Inspection event. Are you unsure if the car
seat you have will be good for your newborn? When is your child ready to
move to a booster seat? Want to make sure your car seat is installed correctly
(most aren’t!)? Katy McCullough, a nationally certi?ed Child Passenger Safe-
ty Technician, will be on hand to offer car seat safety information, including
how to choose the correct car seat for your child and proper installation. Katy
will answer car seat questions and provide installation inspections of your own
car seat. Learn how to obtain a low-cost car seat if you meet certain income
requirements.
The Grafton-Midview Public Library is located at 983 Main Street, in Graf-
ton. For more information, call (440) 926-3317.

motion passed.
4. Strauss requested approval for West Roo?ng to re-coat and
renew the areas over the administration, the MS gym and the rest
of the roof; this would extend the warranty out for one year. Dill
motioned to approve; motion passed.
5. Sukey and the Mayor met with the County to discuss the
storm water retention pond for the school. The county is greatly
interested in helping with the pond as it would help alleviate wa-
ter ?ow that goes to the Kelner Ditch.
6. Strauss requested Clark go back to Mr. Zupan on Com-
merce Drive to see if he will give the Village a permanent ease-
ment to be able to continue to clean the ditch.
Police Report:
1. Chief Duensing gave the Police report for June 2017: De-
partment handled 15 Criminal charges, 0 juvenile charge, 28
Traf?c charges, 39 Traf?c warnings, 0 Traf?c accidents, 48 com-
plaint calls, 2 domestic violence calls, 3 thefts and 1 breaking
and entering. Full-time of?cers worked 1,056 hours, part-time
of?cers worked 54.50 hours and bike patrol was 0 hours.
Solicitor Jon Clark’s Report:
1. Strauss directed Clark to ?nd out the following:
a. Why is the deed to the Park 51% Village ownership and the
Township 49%?
b. How is it that LaGrange Township receives inside millage
from the Village residents, but the Township cannot do anything
for the Village residents with those funds?
c. Will Village residents be affected by the $5 Motor Vehicle
License Fee the Township is moving forward on that does not
bene?t the Village residents?
2. Clark stated that he spoke with Jason Scott regarding what
needed to be done for Greyhawk Subdivision. Doug Nusser from
Poggemeyer Design Group will have to review and an Ordinance
will have to be made. Mr. Scott is concerned with the timing it
takes the County to approve subdivision plats, so he would like
to request Council have a Special Meeting for the sole purpose of
approving the subdivision plat. Council stated that there would
be no special meeting; the issue can be heard at the next regular
Council meeting. Clark stated that apparently, contracts are al-
ready being entered into.
