r' -, January 17, 1983 To 14ayor and Council: The employees of Mayf ield Village would like to openly state tb Mayor and Council our understanding of the clifficult position assumed by Mayor and Council, when due to uncertain economic times, you decided against any wage increases for the municipal employees. The employees of Mayf ield Village were greatly relieved to receive your letter stating that we need not contemplate lay-offs, shorter work weeks or reduced hospitalization due to the current financial condition of Mayfield Village. Indeed we are grateful to serve an administration and community which is concerned with preserving what has been traditionally a benefit of being a municipal employee - job stability. As nearly all Village employees are responsible either wholly or in part for support- ing their respective households, we too are acutely aware of rising costs necessary for maintaining an acceptable standard of living. We also can not project with any certainty what income we will receive or what financial set backs we may encounter throughout this coming year. While this may not be a pleasant situation for us to accept you can see where it has given us the ability to comprehend the basis for your decision. ? The employees of Mayfield Village held an informational meeting on Wednesday, January 12, 1983. At that meeting we discussed our feelings and views and the employees present agreed to cooperate with the administration and take the administrations word that they would reconsider their financial position during the first part of July. The employees of Mayf ield Village would like the Village Administration;:and the Village residents to know that because we are victims of circumstance in these economic times, this will not effect the service that the residents of Mayfield Village have come to know and expect. We will continue to provide the best possible service that we are capable of providing. We want you to know that even these hard economic times can not penetrate deep enough to damage the pride, dedication and professionalism that all of the employees feel. The employees of Mayf ield Village feel that we must all.do what we can to help see the Village through these difficult economic times, so that we all, employees and residents alike, can reap the future advantages that a financially sound community should enjoy. Thank you. 4 Respectfully,
