Summary
Council approved a $6,000 economic grant to a Metal Supermarkets franchise, created two full-time positions, approved a FirstEnergy underground utility easement, and appointed Michael Salinger to the Board of Building and Zoning Appeals.
At its June 2 meeting, the Mentor City Council approved multiple routine and business-development items on the consent/legislative agenda.
Economic development: Council approved an economic development grant for Menare Metal KDM LLC (DBA Metal Supermarkets) at 7561 Tyler Boulevard.

Personnel and pay-grade changes: Council passed Ordinance 26-O-049 to create two full-time positions (a multimedia production specialist to replace a retiring employee and a natural resources supervisor to convert a longstanding part-time role to full time) and adjusted the pay grade for an existing technology and project lead position.
Easement: Council approved Ordinance 26-O-044 granting a utility easement to FirstEnergy (Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company) for an underground line to serve the Civic Center pool, splash park and parking lot; the easement language was revised to mirror an earlier Black Brook Golf Course easement and was approved as amended.
