Regular Council Meeting Minutes 2-16-09 Page 19 Council President Buckholtz said absolutely. Mr. Coughlin said he would welcome them. He is a volunteer. He is a Trustee. He finds them to be very reasonable people. They don't yell at him. They don't fight with him. They don't threaten him. They don't lecture him. He just does what he is asked. He thinks you would find the same welcome there. You may be exactly right, that this is the way to go. We just need to know. If you are wondering what provoked what's happening tonight, it should be pretty clear that when you get a document that has that many names on it, and a homeowner's association officer showing up asking what gives, that there was, he thought we got past this, a failure of communication. He is here on behalf of our association. We would like to see that and we will work to cure that. That is all he has to say. He will sit down now. Thanks. Mr. Yaxbrough asked how soon we can do this? Can we expedite? Can we agree to vote after we get through this process? Mr. Giordano said this is very plain and simple. We have nothing to hide. Mr. Coughlin proposed that we get a room up here one night and we meet about it. Council President Buckholtz asked if he can take control of the meeting at this point. We have a system that works quite well and very respectfully that you are here in all good faith and we want to resolve this in all good faith. There's a homeowner's association. You guys call the office. We will have Mary Beth Betsa call you or any representative you select tonight after the meeting. We are not going to do this right now. We will set up a homeowner's association meeting. We will invite anyone and everyone that you guys collectively choose which may include your contractor or not include the contractor but anyone from our Village engineer, people from other communities, whoever you want. We do this all the time. We do this for a lot of issues. That's not a problem. We can take that one more step. Your appearance here is an exemplary example of showing us that you axe here and you are here now and it doesn't matter what happened last week or last month or last year or anyone else's motivations for wanting something done a certain way. We know what we have to do tonight. This is a clear indication. Council President Buckholtz said to Mr. .Coughlin that he sent out an e-mail that he would not have seen but it went to every single person which makes it public record, when he first saw this, his reaction was he is very glad that we got this. Better late than never. Because we might have voted on it tonight. We got this. That's not an option. Thank you Mr. Coughlin. Please do not feel that you came here in vain. Mr. Coughlin said he won't take the bait every time. Mayor Rinker said he promises he won't lecture you.
