Regular Council Meeting <br />1-29-07 <br />Page 5 <br />Ordinance Review Committee <br />1. Wes Marrotte <br />2. Ron DiNardo <br />Planning and Zoninsz Commission <br />1. Wes Marrotte <br />State of the Village Address <br />Mavor Bruce Rinker: <br />A couple years ago in its wisdom the Charter Review Commission and the voters in their <br />collective wisdom agreed that it would be appropriate for me to deliver a State of the Village <br />address. <br />We have a lot for which we can be proud. One thing that is useful from my perspective is <br />that in about three days' time on February lst, I will have been the Mayor of Mayfield Village for <br />14 years, since 1993. One of the first things I recall when I took that office was walking in to a <br />letter on my desk from the Federal Government advising that Mayfield Village was now under a <br />mandate to convert septic systems to sanitary sewers. My first task in office was to deal with <br />sewer'systems. <br />Over the last 14 years, I have had to learn a whole lot about what Mayfield Village has to <br />offer. I have enjoyed every minute of it, I can tell you that for sure. But I thought it would be a <br />little illuminating to provide a little statistical information. Even though Phil has a hard time with <br />numbers, he was able to work up a few of these at my request. <br />Our population in 1993 was 3,462 people. We have gone down to 3,435 people. That is <br />the 2000 census, so maybe we are pushing 3,462 again. <br />Number of employees - in 1993 full-time we had 40. We now have 54. Part-time we had <br />58 in 1993. We now have 55. <br />. Seasonal help - they did not make it on to the radar screen in 1993, though we did have <br />seasonal help. As of 2006, we had 102 seasonal employees. Predominantly, it is when <br />the weather turns semi-decent. This is between our Service Department and Parks and <br />Recreation; between our swimming pool, all of the activities that we have, like our <br />camps. All of you know that we have gone from a town that has had a lot of nice <br />programs to some pretty impressive and extensive programs. We employ a lot of area <br />young people, high school or college students. We find a way to put all generations to <br />work in Mayfield Village. 102 seasonal employees is very interesting.
