Regular Council Meeting Minutes 5-18-09 Page 10 Mr. Diemert replied you can defeat them. That would be the only option to withdraw them once they are introduced. Council President Buckholtz stated what we will do is table them permanently. We will get them off the agenda. There's no reason, they speak to issues that no longer exist in terms of these particular offers that were made and then rescinded. If we have no interest otherwise, we don't need a motion. Mr. Diemert said you have to vote on it. Mrs. Mills made a motion to withdraw Ordinance Nos. 2008-25, 2005-26, 2008-49 and 2008-50. Mr. Marrie seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: AYES: All Motion Carried NAYS: None Ordinances Withdrawn Council President Buckholtz stated he would just like to take this time to mention that in lieu of this, in all of the conversation and all of the participation that we have had from the public and from Planning and Zoning and all of the Committees and Department Heads, the Mayor has written a letter that we have all seen and has been passed around to some extent to the public and will be addressed in the Voice of the Village, to initiate some sort of legislation right here in the Village, maybe a little cutting edge, maybe a little taking from here and taking from there of some of the communities that have been through this already, but coming up with some new ideas.

What we need to do is collect all of the information and say, in residential communities, there has to be special restrictions or special conditions that apply. We can get there with some of the help that has been brought forwaxd and some of the information that we have already. Council President Buckholtz would suggest that that goes on an agenda for Ordinance Review to start. Dr. Parlcer said since we are on the subject, he just wanted to remind people that Senator Grendell will be holding three forums on drilling in the area. These have been mentioned, but Dr. Parker just wants to mention it again. Thursday, May 28th at 6:30 p.m. in Mayfield Heights at the Middle School auditorium; June lst at 7:30 p.m. in Highland Heights; and June 4th in Gates Mills with the location and time to be determined. Mayor Rinker asked to amend this. When he spoke to the Senator Thursday, he had been under the impression that his office had indicated that Mayfield Village was to be the venue. Mayor Rinker pointed out that he had read in the paper that day that it was Mayfield Heights. He told me he was going to call his office. We were both out of town at the time. Mayor Rinker's understanding in talking with Diane Wolgamuth is that in fact his staff called on Friday. They
