Minutes of the Council Meeting <br />December 17, 2007 <br />Page 6 <br />in between of being strictly a private problem or one that is too small a public works project to <br />really kind of get your arms around to try to identify how to address these, what really is a <br />problem where we should be applying taxpapers dollars has always been kind of a dynamic we <br />have had to work with. We set about collectively to establish some kind of criteria to evaluate <br />just how to score and respond to the problems because face it we live in an area where we know <br />stormwater management is a major problem. Officially across our state it has become much <br />more of a mandate that communities address these problems in a comprehensive fashion. <br />Overall, what Mayfield has done is pretty unique in the way we address these kinds of issues. <br />The continuing challenge is to refine it. We have seen some instances where on reflection we <br />probably would have liked to redone them the way we did it, but they met the criteria we <br />established. It behooves us to make sure that we are addressing these standards in a sensible way <br />so that we can still complete the mission of reaching these households in a way that lifts a burden <br />from residents in a pragmatic way and yet at the same time that we are really gearing it in the <br />proper fashion. <br />Safetv and Service - Mrs. Cinco reported that Safety and Service met on Monday, December <br />3` . At that time we reviewed the lease proposal from Ohio Valley Energy. We received the <br />preliminary DOPWIC results with the Raleigh and Beta alignment and Seneca Drive. <br />Thornapple did not quite make it. We reviewed for the police department the CRIS monthly <br />service and LEADS for 2008. Approved tonight in Finance and discussed in Safety and Service <br />was the three new police vehicles, radio equipment for the Fire Department, the animal warden <br />contract in the Service Department and wetlands monitoring. <br />Fanance Committee - Mr. Saponaro reported that the committee had 12 motions recommended <br />for approval, two ordinances recommended for approval, two resolutions recommended for <br />approval and one ordinance that was defened. Council President Buckholtz asked which <br />ordinance. Mr. Saponaro responded Ordinance No. 2007-29, which will be a subject of <br />discussion later. <br />Iiistorical Society - Mrs. Mills reported that the Historical Society had their annual potluck <br />dinner on December 12th. They always invite the South Euclid Historical Society to come down <br />and visit them because their membership is low. It was a very nice evening. We are not quilting <br />until after the first week in January. <br />Hillcrest Council of Councils - There was no report. <br />M.A.R.C. - Dr. Parker reported that the M.A.R.C. meeting was called to order on December 6rh <br />at 7:05 p.m. Some items of note were that Shannon Zajec from the Punt, Pass and Kick <br />competition won her division at Brown's stadium. Floor hockey and flag football are finalizing <br />their season. In February there will be a hotshot contest run during halftime at the high school <br />basketball game.
