Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council May 22, 2006 Page 5 from the corner all the way down to the I-271 ramps was cleaned. About 15-20 garbage bags were filled by a great group of people from both Committees and people who really wanted to pitch in and beautify the Village. Everyone's comment was how you don't realize how garbage impacts even our Village. You may not see it, but they are in the trees and bushes. Bags of garbage were filled up because of everything thrown about. Mr. Saponaro congratulated all on a great job. It is hopeful that the committee can clean up the other side of 271. The next meeting is scheduled for June 19tn - Mr. Buckholtz added that it is true that we just get used to seeing garbage; you don't even notice it. Mr. Saponaro agreed, stating that you get desensitized to the fact that gaxbage is blowing along and you don't think to bend down and pick it up. We need to.
