Regular Council Meeting Minutes 2-16-09 Page 9 Citizen's Advisorv Board - Mr. Marrie reported that the first meeting for 2009 was held on January 27 . Jim Mason was elected Chairman again. Bill Thomas asked to be in attendance to discuss the Recreation Board proposals, one of which is the possibility of closing the pool earlier this year than last year because Labor Day is the 7th instead of a week earlier. For those six days alone, the cost on a conservative estimate, including labor and material, is $25,000.00 just for six days at the end of the season. It will not be totally attended like it would be in the middle of the summer. Citizen's Advisory as well as Recreation Board have recommend that we do that especially since we are watching the budget in so many areas. It seems wrong to go ahead and spend that money when it does not have to be done because the pool does not get that much usage after the kids go back to school. It would close the day after they go back to school. It would be open the full time that the children are out on summer break. There were comments about the snowplowing. People were very pleased compared to last year. This was passed on. We discussed the new businesses on Beta Drive. That got a lot of attention, especially some of the success stories. We also discussed the fact that we are creating an innovation zone which some of the people didn't know about and a few other miscellaneous items. Commission on Alziniz - There was no report. Drainage & Infrastructure/Stormwater Mgt. - Mrs. Cinco reported that they met on the 3`d of February. At that time, they discussed three applications, all of which were denied as they did not meet the requirements for the committee. Letters were sent out to those residents. We will have our next meeting as needed should any more applications come in for this year. Safetv and Service - Mrs. Cinco reported that Safety and Service met on Monday, February 2°d At that time, they had another long discussion on oil and gas wells with our Law Director present there for more explanation. The Fire Department dealt with Mobile Air and the replacement of the pick-up truck. Also discussed were the monthly CRIS service fees for the Police Department, rubbish bids and the Thornapple pump station. Rubbish bids are due in on Wednesday. That will be a big item on our next agenda next month. Finance Committee - Mr. Marrie reported that Finance Committee met earlier this evening and discussed 15 items, all of which are on the agenda for this evening. Historical Society - Mrs. Mills reported that last year, we were privileged to receive a grant from the Ohio Humanities for "My Town" tours for the third graders of the Mayfield School District. We reapplied for the same grant this year. It was declined by their Committee. We were a little disappointed, but that's how things happen. We also received a bill from the plumber for the broken water pipe which was $550.00. Hillcrest Council of Councils - There was no report.
