xegular Council 1Vleeting Minutes <br />12-21-09 <br />Page 4 <br />With regard to the health issues, Mr. Triner wanted to bring to Council's attention that there aze new <br />health concerns that have come out of Texas. What's interesting about this report is this is actually . <br />documented information about the health hazards of living near gas and oil wells. What's most <br />revealing is that the community is reporting health symptoms that overlap significantly with the <br />chemicals detected. They are seeing not only respiratory ailments and headaches, but brain disorders, <br />pre-cancerous lesions and impaiiment of motor skills. <br />This is a community in Texas that is living neaz operating gas and oil wells. This is just coming out <br />three years after the wells were put in. People were looking at gas and oil well activities for <br />economic gains and then they have experienced health concerns. This is real proof now for <br />communities that our going hot and heavy with this type of activity that health hazards do exist in <br />those sort of activities. Mr. Triner is glad that things aze as they are in the Village. <br />With regard to that, we still have to keep a vigilant eye on Aintree because there are two active well <br />sites very near Aintree. If we iose our focus, oil and gas well companies will try to come iYi and sign <br />leases in those areas. <br />Mr. Triner submitted the report on the health issues to Mary Beth. <br />The last thing is, vvhat is happening with Bonnieview and Stonecreek. Have we heard any official <br />word on that? <br />Mayor Rinker stated he received semi-official word from Linda Butler. She can share that with us <br />tonight, what she heard about Bonnieview and Stonecreek. <br />Ms. Butler stated it is all hearsay. She does not have anything direct. <br />May,or Rinker stated he is not going to put anyone on the spot, but it sounded like that thing has been <br />put on hold. It's encouraging to see that. We will see what turns up. <br />Mr. Triner_ asked if the Village has heard any official word on that at all. <br />Mayor Rinker replied, no. We have not. John said there was some feedback from downstate. <br />Mr. Marrelli confirmed that he received feedback from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources <br />that due to an alleged forgery of a signature, the pernut was denied for Bonnieview. He spoke with <br />Mike McCornuck this afternoon who stated that there was an investigation done on a signature from <br />Stonecreek. Three handwriting experts checked the records and decided that it was indeed a forged <br />signature. So, ODNR has denied the pernut for Bonnieview until everytlung else is straightened out <br />through the criminal situation with Mayfield Heights. The Detective Bureau is supposed to <br />investigate how the forgery took place and why it was notarized. They are supposed to report back to <br />ODNR.. The way it is shaping up is, this permit application for that particular site is denied until <br />fiuther notice. Unless the drillers come back and put another unit together and submit that, tlus issue <br />for now is dead according to ODNR. <br />; ?
