Regular Council Meeting Minutes 4-20-09 Page 4 in a residential area, everyone, including the Village, loses. You will be hearing more specifics from others. We believe the Mayor and the Council could have taken a much more proactive approach with the residents 14 months ago to keep the drillers from getting to this point. Well, better late than never and now is the time. You definitely, the Council and the Mayor have our attention and at last through residents uniting, we tlunk we finally have yours. Rather than drilling that's been considered by some a breach of trust in the Council and Mayor working our best interest, we would like to move forward and ask the Mayor, the Council and a11 the people in this room to work with us to make up for lost time. You are going to be hearing more again exactly what we are going to be asking for you to do. There are about eight people or so that you are going to hear from and we hope you will really listen and join with us on this major effort going on to educate people in Mayfield Village. We have people from Highland Heights who have been working tirelessly on this and there are wonderful, wonderful things that can be done to make a difference if we are united and informed. For the audience who wants to help, please let one of the people speaking know before you leave tonight and please urge your neighbors to come back May 4t' for the Caucus meeting where you hopefully will get to hear the Mayor and Council's response to what the next eight people or so have to say. At this point, Mrs. Triner turned it over to Linda Butler. Council President Buckholtz stated, Jean, if I may, because I am actually running the meeting. As said, we are very liberal people here in terms of time, but Council President Buckholtz just wants everyone to get a grip on kind of the time sense. That was 10 minutes. Mrs. Triner apologized. Council President Buckholtz said, it is what it is, but his suggestion is a lot of what you said, he does not know if he is the only one that's read the e-mails today but a lot of it has already been spoken, it's already been said and Council President Buckholtz knows that he personally had a dialogue with Mrs. Triner and several other people in the audience, so we do applaud your efforts. What he said to Council was let's not make this a dialogue, let's hear from you. If there's less, who said what, when, where, and just exactly what is going on like what you're finding out in all this research from the drilling, because Council President Buckholtz tlunks we are going to have a fabulous video to take down to Columbus to show the powers that are really allowing this to go unwatched if you will. If there are other people that are going to speak, we are going to need to keep it in that timeframe. Mrs. Triner asked if she should turn it over to Jim then. That's her husband. Council President Buckholtz said, just everybody state your name and address.
