On Sunday, March 11 from 12 to 2 p.m. the public can come and visit with various breed specific rescues, along with the companion animals available for adoption from the shelter. This new partnership with rescues, from around the State of Ohio, will make it easier for citizens who are considering adopting a specific breed of dog the opportunity to talk with rescues who specialize in finding appropriate homes for adoption, including the pure breed and mixed breed dogs at the shelter.
Mark Kumpf, Director of the Animal Resource Center said, “We decided to open the shelter to rescue groups and the public on the second Sunday of each month to see if the public would be interested in coming. The first month we opened, we adopted out five dogs and a cat over a two-hour period. We estimated that approximately 225 people attended the first Mingle with our Mutts. For us the partnership with various breed rescues has been a huge success and has helped to further our mission of finding homes for our sheltered animals.”

Applications are now being accepted for three summer residency study programs at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater. Applications are due Saturday, March 31, 2007 for high school students, college undergraduate students enrolled in an architectural degree program, and teachers of any subject, at any grade level.
For each program twelve people will participate in intense explorations of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterwork in Mill Run, Pa. Close access to an architectural masterpiece, on-site design studios with practicing architects, and thoughtful discussions led by Wright scholars are only part of these unique study opportunities.
Residents will examine Fallingwater from above and below, inside and out – in a detailed examination of this world-famous architectural landmark. Former High School Residency Scholar Dolan Dagget says, “The residency taught me about myself and about the almost spiritual qualities behind architecture. We learned about the land while learning about the structure…I sense the power in spaces for the first time. I no longer will look at a structure as a series of plans and elevations, but as an entity that is living.”

meals.

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT WITH OAKWOOD FRATERNAL
ORDER OF POLICE LODGE NO. 107.
WHEREAS, in September, 2006 the City and Oakwood F.O.P. Lodge No. 107 representing the public safety officers entered into negotiations on a successor agreement to the collective bargaining agreement which expired on October 26, 2006; and
WHEREAS, the parties were unable to resolve all issues during negotiations and as a result the unresolved issues were submitted to fact-finding, and
WHEREAS, on November 3, 2006 a hearing was held before Fact-Finder Daniel Kosanovich at which time the parties presented their respective positions on the unresolved issues, and
WHEREAS, on November 22, 2006 the City and Oakwood Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 107 received Mr. Kosanovich’s Fact-Finding Report on the unresolved issues; and
WHEREAS, on November 28, 2006 Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 1643 rejecting the Report and Recommendations issued by Fact-Finder Kosanovich; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions outlined in Chapter 4117 of the Ohio Revised Code, the parties submitted the remaining unresolved issues to binding conciliation; and
WHEREAS, on January 12,
2007 a hearing was held before Conciliator John Weisheit at which time the parties presented their respective positions on the unresolved issues; and
WHEREAS, on February 20, 2007 the City and Oakwood Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 107 received Mr. Weisheit’s Findings and Determinations; and
WHEREAS, Council strongly disagrees with those findings and believes the multi-year wage increases determined by the conciliator are excessive and not in the best interests of the community; and
WHEREAS, the dispute resolution process for safety forces provided for in the Ohio Revised Code has served to encourage some local unions to routinely circumvent the intended collective bargaining process by referring unresolved issues to disinterested third parties for a determination rather than engaging in meaningful discussions at the local level on wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment; and
WHEREAS, Oakwood City Council encourages state legislators and the governor to review the existing statute and make the changes necessary to ensure that decisions involving the expenditure of public funds and the level of service provided by a local government are made by its elected officials; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding these concerns, Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute a collective bargaining agreement with the Oakwood Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 107 representing the public safety officers for a three-year period.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF Oakwood, Montgomery county, ohio, that:
SECTION I.
That the City Manager is hereby authorized to executive a collective bargaining agreement with the Oakwood Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 107 to expire on October 26, 2009.
SECTION II.
That is hereby found and determined that all formal actions of this Council concerning and relating to the passage of this resolution were adopted in an open meeting of this Council and that all deliberations of this Council and of any of its committees that resulted in such formal action were in meetings open to the public in compliance with all legal requirements including §121.22, Ohio Revised Code.
PASSED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKWOOD THIS 1st DAY OF MARCH, 2007.
Barbara and Mike Erbe of East Dixon Avenue have agreed to serve as co-chairs for Citizens for Wright Library, the group that will campaign for passage of Wright Memorial Public Library’s replacement levy on the May 8 ballot. Stan Herr of Garden Road has been named as the campaign’s treasurer.
The 0.94 mill five-year replacement levy is the same millage that has been in place since 1997. The levy currently provides $227,000, or 13 percent, of the library’s annual operating budget. The replacement levy will bring in an additional $64,000 each year because of changes in property valuations. This will allow the library to cover inflation and to maintain current services.
Questions about the levy may be addressed to Ann Snively, Library Director at 294-8572 or Judy Thompson, President of the Board of Trustees, at 299-1448.
