ROLL CALL: AYES: All Motion Carried NAYS: None Minutes Approved ABSTAIN: Saponaro' COMMENTS FROM MAYOR BODNAR Mayor Bodnar stated, on behalf of the Village of Mayfield, I just wanted to officially welcome the Republic National Convention and all of its representatives. I hope everyone who is coming to the Convention or is already here for it enjoys the City of Cleveland and comes away better than they were before. Thank you to the members of our community who have extended and stepped forward with their courtesies to help out of town guests and guide them. Garry Regan is one of them. He has welcomed a Louisiana contingency who is staying in Mayfield Village and he has taken them to our restaurants and businesses. Finally, last, but certainly not least, special thanks to our own first responders. I know that you have spent a lot of time preparing for this Convention getting ready for it and making sure we are all safe. I want you to know that at Mayfield Village you have our support and we are open and training for a peaceful and non- violent convention and for peace and non-violence after that. Thank you. One other thing, I met this morning with Sari Feldman; the ~ Director of the Cuyahoga County Public Library. She talked to me about a great many wonderful programs at the Library. One of the things she mentioned to me was that Mayfield Village is one of the three Innovation Centers in the whole Library system. An Innovation Center are creative, collaborative and educational spaces that provide access to advanced software, emerging technologies, production studios and working spaces. They are there to help small businesses. They are there to help entrepreneurs or people that want to be entrepreneurs that can't necessarily afford the expensive software and hardware that you need to proceed. I know that you have to take your orientation course and complete that before they let you use the software, but they have some wonderful things. We will get something into the Voice of the Village or on our website. If you know anyone that can benefit from the use of that technology, please let them know. Thank you.
