MINUTES OF A SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL Mayfield Village March 27, 1995 The Council of Mayfield Village met in special session on Monday, March 27, 1995, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Village Hall. Council President Mark Fixler presided. ROLL CALL: Present: Mr. Buckholtz, Mr. Busa, Mrs. Cinco, Mr. Ferrante, Mr. Fixler, and Mr. Flynn Absent: Mr. Basile Also Present: Mayor Rinker, Mr. Amendola, Mr. Brett, Mr. Cappello, Chief Mohr, and Miss Heath Mr. Fixler said he understands there are a few people in the audience who would like to address Council. He suggested if some people represent a larger group, that they speak first. Tim Scasny, 648 Meadowood, said several fellow citizens have been discussing the North Trunk Line. They have a lot of questions because of the shortness of time and the meeting at the County Commissioners tomorrow about the Resolution of Necessity which, as he understands it, clinches that there will be an incoming sewer project. Mr. Scasny said it is unfortunate that we have come to this point and do not have these answers yet. He presented a list of concerns and questions to Mayor Rinker and Council President Fixler. Mr. Scasny said the first paragraph asks for a 30-day delay to discuss this. He knows what that might mean in Issue II money. His purpose is not to destroy the chances of getting the Issue II money, but one of their questions is, "Is this really necessary?" Mr. Scasny said he is a septic tank owner. He feels that they are a small number (386) of people (of 2,600 total people of Highland Heights and Mayfield) who are being asked to pay a huge amount of money up front or later down the road. There is no guarantee of any kind of funding in several years when sewers start coming down their streets. Mr. Scasny said the Mayor has given them an opportunity to go to the Community Center after this meeting. He invited everyone to go over there. Mr. Scasny said they are very concerned how they are going to pay for this. There needs to be more discussion by the people on this topic. Mike Monaco, 6442 Highland Road, said a few of us on Highland Road have deep lots (that are 1190 feet deep). The back 400 feet of those lots are zoned commercial. Our indirect assessment is $6,977.50. That is 5 times the average cost of a residential lot. He fears his direct assessment will also be 5 times
