Regular Council Meeting Minutes <br />2-16-09 <br />Page 7 <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, Mayor Rinker represents Administration and he represents <br />Council. He won't speak for everyone on an individual basis. But, since gas leases have come <br />up on the far east side of Cleveland or Mayfield Village, he has not heard one councilman at any <br />meeting at any time call him and go, oh boy, gas wells, can't wait. No one has been promoting <br />this. This is kind of like something dropped in our community that we felt had to be dealt with. <br />Council President Buckholtz does not want to say everything the Mayor said, but when he read <br />the petition, he was out of town today, so he got it on the fly, and the first line is "opposition of <br />Mayfield Village Council approving the negotiation of drilling or non-drilling leases involving <br />Mayfield Village residential properties", we don't control that for the ones that we don't own. <br />That's the first line. The second line, point well taken. You brought up that at some point there <br />was a plan put forth where if we drilled it might make it better for the houses, but that's the only <br />way that that morphed into that. Again, there has been so much information. It's hard to know <br />what people want to hear in terms of what's new. We keep hearing it over and over and keep <br />putting it through the mill, looking at it, and sending it to Law Department and getting it back <br />with more information. It's hard really as the Mayor said, the perspective that we have on, oh, <br />here's something new that the residents should be advised of. <br />That's all he wanted to add. Otherwise, he will turn it back to the Mayor for Mr. Feudo. <br />. Administration of Oath of Office to Vince Feudo, Esq. as Village Prosecutor <br />Mayor Rinker stated Mr. Feudo is our prosecutor and he has prosecuted his duties well over the <br />years. We look forwaxd to another year. <br />Mayor Rinker administered the oath of office to Mr. Feudo. <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS: <br />SERVICE - Douglas Metzung <br />There was no report <br />BUILDING - John Marrelli <br />There was no report. <br />ENGINEERING - Tom Cappello <br />There was no report. <br />LEGAL DEPARTMENT - Joe Diemert <br />T'here was no report.
