Regular Council Meeting 9-15-08 Page 4 ARCHITECT - Ron l)iNardo There was nothing to report. HUMAN SERVICES - Eunice Kalina Mrs. Kalina reported that Judge Bozza's talk which was originally scheduled for this Wednesday has been postponed to January 7tl' The Lake County trip which was to have taken place last Friday was cancelled due to not enough people signing up for it. On the other hand, they have a trip October 13th to Middlefield Amish Country. They already have a waiting list. If they get enough people, they will take a bigger bus, but the transportation costs just make it too prohibitive to go ahead with it when we don't have enough people signed up. They are getting ready for flu shots. Registration is this Friday here from 9-11 and next Monday from 1-3. The shots will be given on Wednesday, October 22°d from 1-3. STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS: Activities Committee - Mrs. Mills reported that a meeting is scheduled for October 29tn Architectural 12eview Board - Mr. Marrelli reported that Architectural Review Board met on the 4t and finalized the proposal for University Hospital's Georgian Center office building. Beautification- Mr. Saponaro reported that the Beautification Committee met on August 25tn They went over the hanging baskets and containers for 2008. Everything went well and everyone is pleased with a few tweaks here and there. There was an area set up by the Stabile and Hejcl property with a bench. Service did a wonderful job. The Committee is looking at that and talking to the people about purchasing and personalizing benches for memoriam or with the name of their family and finding locations along the trails. The trees were planted along the 271 corridor. They are now looking at the next phase which is wildflowers. They are working with a gentleman from Ohio Prairie who is going to help with the different choices of flowers along those areas so that they are not eaten by deer and can withstand the weather. It's a lot more complicated than one would think. They have scheduled a Fall Bulb Planting for October 4th at 10:00 at Wiley Park. Everyone is welcome. Community service hours will be available for anyone who needs it for school or different organizations. They will be planting around the pavilion, around the area by the east side of the wall by the Hej cl/Stabile property. Anyone who would like to participate is welcome. Hopefully everyone received the flyer in the mail. We are looking to become Tree City USA, which is a program we want to participate in. We are in the process of completing the application. One of the things the Committee talked about bringing up to Council was trash receptacles being placed along the various corridors and trails so that people put their garbage where garbage belongs. Stay tuned. Someone from the Committee has taken on the project of obtaining prices and styles. Our next meeting is September 22°d at 7:00 p.m. We received our bid from Eagle Creek who did our flowers last year. The cost is $7,055.00. We will be discussing that. The cost is less than last year because we already paid for the containers and liners. We will talk about that. They did an excellent job and were wonderful to work with.
