Regular Council Meeting <br />1-29-07 <br />Pai;e 11 <br />On a final note, I have been very privileged to serve as Mayor. As you all know Mayfield <br />Village a number of years ago rescinded term limits and I can tell you tonight it is my intention to <br />run for another term. I hope that I have earned the respect of all of you. I look to our future as <br />one that is very very challenging but one that is very very doable. I think we all share that "can- <br />do" spirit. <br />Thank you very much. <br />CfJM1VVEN'TS FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKHOLTZ <br />Mr. Buckholtz stated that he has been on Council for 12 years. He owes it to everyone who <br />has come out tonight, taking their time out to be here. Mostly tonight, to his fellow Council members. <br />Council did something they never did before. T'hey met this year informally to discuss the way they <br />communicate with each other and the way they communicate with the Mayor and administration. <br />Individually and as a group they went over tivngs like the Village Charter and Ordinances. We can go <br />lirie by line. The concept of how we use the budget and how we work together in a very responsible, <br />open and communicative way was discussed. We put together a list of items. <br />Tom Marrie, President Pro Tem and myself inet with the Mayor. It was a very wonderful and <br />open meeting. We discussed ideas about how this year will be even better. We discussed how we can <br />set up ways of communicating and doing things. <br />During the holiday get together, Mr. Buckholtz, a promoter of the Mayor giving speeches and <br />ideas, pointed out to Council a11 of the communities that do not have that kind of leadership or ball of <br />energy. It is better to sometimes be explaining our position since we have a Mayor/Chief Executive <br />Officer who is burning the midnight oil and coming up with a11 these plans and ideas, than not to have <br />one at all. <br />Mr. Buckholtz stated that on behalf of himself, he would like to thank a11 Departrnent Heads, <br />staff, volunteers, our Mayor and his fellow Council for a11 of these things that have been done. If you <br />read the Charter, he can't do anything without us appropriating and approving the money. It has been <br />agreat effort. Mr. Buckholtz thanked everyone. <br />- Mr. Buckholtz advised that there would be a little break so that everyone could enjoy the <br />refreshments. Anyone wishing to sta.y for the remainder of the meeting, that's fine. <br />The break began at 8:45 p.m. <br />The meeting reconvened at 9:03 p.m.
