Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, October 17, 2016 Page 8 Council President Saponaro suggested the flier be put on the website to snake sure it is available. Council President Saponaro asked Mr. Williams to update Council on the recent NOACA meeting he attended. Mr. Williams reported, Mr. Jerome and I attended the Annual Northeast Ohio Area-Wide Coordinating Agency meeting. This group is responsible for planning and designing the transportation requirements of our area, the highways and byways and all of the improvements that go on. They coordinate with ODOT. This was their Annual Meeting. The highlight was the keynote speaker, Mr. Mark Fenton. He spoke about designing healthy active communities with a focus on including biking and walking in your communities as a way of moving forward into the years to come that communities should consider for generations that are coming behind us and what they will need. We should start thinking about those things today. He mentioned the Mayfield Village Bruce Rinker Greenway Trail as an example of a cormnunity that has taken the first steps toward including healthy active living in our design. It was a very informative forward-looking presentation on what communities should be thinking about in the years to come to improve their neighborhoods. Mr. Marrie stated, I would like to elaborate a little bit more on what Bill mentioned for the Parks and Recreation Board and why the change for the registration on the party. At the Easter Party as Bill said, the extra 150 that showed up weren't even residents. Some of them weren't even close residents. A lot of our children who were Mayfield Village residents got squeezed out. No gifts, no Easter egg. The little ones come for that. That's bad news. Last but not least which is also extremely important we were concerned very much about the fire laws, about the capacity. It kind of scared us that day. It was way over capacity. I don't want a visit from Mr. Girbino about the capacity. We wanted to make sure. And let's face it, this started off for residents' children and grandchildren only. There was a group there that sent the word out somehow and they came from near and far. We are now going to go and keep it for residents for the children. Council President Saponaro asked, are there any other reports? There were none.
