Regular Council Meeting 3/15/93 Page 5 Mr. Basile said they did not do anything with the hillside ordinance at this meeting. Planning and Zoning made a motion to reject the proposal presented by Mr. Friedman from MAY-SOM Development for 476 detached single-family residence units in the northwest area of the Village. Recreation - Mrs. Leppla said before she gives her report, Mr. Fixler, the previous Council representative, has asked to say a few things. Mr. Fixler read Chapter 143.02 of the Charter. Mr. Fixler said it has been a pleasure and an honor to be that representative over the last year. Section A says, "...all members shall be appointed to a two-year term." Mr. Fixler also quoted Section C regarding removal. Mr. Fixler said he has recently been removed which he feels is in violation of Ordinance No. 87-44. However, to maintain a harmonious relationship with Recreation and this body, Mr. Fixler said he feels it necessary, effective immediately, that he resign from the Board of Recreation. Jeanne Leppla will be taking over and he wishes her nothing but good luck and much success in her duties. Mrs. Leppla said the last meeting of the Recreation Board was on February 17. They are beginning to work on the craft show. Registration for softball, summer playground and swim lessons will be held in the Community Room on March 24 at 7 p.m. They talked about hiring of a Director for the Summer Camp, decided on the salary and the person. Mrs. Leppla said she does not know if it has been finalized so will hold off on mentioning the name. They are working hard and are looking to improve the recreation programs of the Village. They are looking for seniors who might be interested in becoming members of the Recreation Board. Mrs. Leppla said if anyone knows of any seniors who might be interested, please let her, Mayor Rinker, or Mrs. Cinco know. Mayor Rinker said he appreciates Mr. Fixler bringing this to everyone's attention. This is the firsf that anyone has addressed this fact. His understanding is the custom has been, as with every other council representative's appointment to various and commissions, that it is done on an annual basis. He cannot remember, personally, when the last time was when the appointment to the Recreation Board was not done on an annual basis. It is a good point and something they can look into.
