Regular Council Minutes 10/23/06 Page 4 Village by providing them with a number of pieces of signal equipment that we had in surplus from the S.O.M. Center Road project and that was all replaced. So there was no financial cost to us and we look forward to a better and more efficient movement of traffic in that intersection. We are using the newest LED technology for the lights. Those have a longer life span with less problems. We are looking forward to having a better movement of traffic. PARKS & RECREATION -Bill Thomas Mr. Thomas reported that this past Friday from 7-10 p.m., Mayfield Village, Mayfield City Schools and Mayfield Heights sponsored the Fourth Annual Teen Halloween Event. We had 338 students participate. They all had a great time. Also, we had the 8t" Annual Halloween Window Painting Contest. The winners will be in the paper this Thursday. First place was the Mayfield Village Barbershop and second place went to Tikki Hut Tans. Mr. Thomas passed around the pictures and told everyone that if they have an opportunity to go around throughout the community and look at them, it is worth it. They are very impressive. With regard to the winter brochure, Mr. Thomas stated that it will be mailed around the first week of November. HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT -Mrs. Kalina Mrs. Kalina reported that the phone calls for flu shots have not left them a lot of time to do the transportation survey. They have done some. Mrs. Kalina will get back to us on that when it is completed. Mayfield Heights was contacted and they indicated that they are very happy with TC3. They are renegotiating a contract. They may be raising their prices because they have a very heavy demand. Highland Heights was contacted and they indicated reluctance to get involved as they are part of the Tri-City Consortium. That offers some transportation. They feel threatened by the idea that Highland Heights might be looking elsewhere for transportation. Mayor Rinker asked Mrs. Kalina what the Tri-City Consortium is. She indicated that is Lyndhurst, South Euclid and Highland Heights. Mayor Rinker asked if we could coordinate with those three. Mrs. Mills stated that we had an opportunity when Mayor Beebe was in office. He declined. We do not know how to get into it now. We will check in to that. Mrs. Kalina reported that the programs are going well. This Thursday morning, Bill Amendola from the police department will be providing a program on identity theft. Games continue on Monday afternoons. Tomorrow is the last of the computer classes for this year. They have been very well received. We are looking to do more classes with this organization next year.
