Regular Council Meeting Minutes 6-15-09 Page 2 couples separately stated that they lived in aparhnents in Mayfield Village and wanted to live in Mayfield Village and wanted to buy homes here, but if there was drilling, they didn't want to live here. That Ms. McGreevy found kind of interesting. One of them is willing to say that if necessary. Many people who knew a l.s.ttle bit about it thought that it was okay. They would point to the Golden Gate well and they would point to a few other things so they figured it was okay because of being permitted. There was an interesting conversation she had with a man from Gates 1Vlills. She is not sure if you are aware of this, a few of us went to the Gates Mills Grendell meeting and we found that although most of us thought there were around 40 wells, there are 67 permits in Gates Mills right now. There's more coming around. Ms. McGreevy spoke to this gentleman. He was going to drill. He didn't know anything about it. His comment to Ms. McCrreevy was, well, the city put it in, there's one behind city hall, so it's got to be fine. So, Ms. McCrreevy kind of quizzed him a little bit. Do you understand about the optic waste? Do you understand about mandatory pooling? Some of those things. He didn't know anything about it at a11. So, her sense was that once there's a critical mass, it's just kind of, you know it's going to go because he's probably not going to drill now. Ms. McGreevy gave him that great piece that Jim Triner put together about the tale of two houses. He is going to take that and look at some websites and he may not do it. Ms. McGreevy would like to congratulate everyone for keeping this out of Mayfield Village as long as you have. Her good neighbor there Tommy Marrie thought she was a little bit nuts because she knew nothing about this until April of this year and he said, where have you been a11 your life? Ms. McGreevy knows a lot now. Basically, Ms. McGreevy would like to really thank everyone for that because she thinlcs it's made a significant difference because we have also become familiar with Broadview Heights and what's happened there and they have 60 some wells and there's more coming along too, so it seems to Ms. McGreevy from what she has heard from some of the comments is if it's permitted, people think it's okay and they just don't understand all the issues around it. So, we got those signatures. We want to continue working on signatures and we are trying to get a ta.ble at Heinen's. There's also some other areas like Chesterland, some other places, where they're going to take our model in putting this table together for letters. What we are doing is getting letters to the Governor signed. That's what the 75 were. They are going to take our model and they are going to put that in some other places and try to do the same thing. Council President Buckholtz thanked Ms. McGreevy very much for that report. Council President Buckholtz asked if there was anyone else. Gordon Nichols 6460 North Aintree Drive Last December, we brought up some of the issues that he was talking about throughout the year. He extended it to the time limit. He was told to put everything in writing and bring it to the office. He brought it to Mary Beth. She made copies and distributed it to all of the Council people. He believes
