Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, February 22, 2016 Page 4 agreement as long as that company continued to operate where Freedonia was, doing what Freedonia did. I talked to the CEO of Freedonia who indicated that there is no reason to believe that income tax generation at the location will go down as a result of the merger. In fact, there may be some opportunities for more personnel because of the merger. Chief Richard Edelman (Police) - Chief Edelman reported, yesterday the Police Deparhnent held another Concealed Carry Class and Handgun Safety here in Civic Hall. We had 15 in attendance. Everyone passed. It was a good exchange. Our Prosecutor was here to help us to explain some of the legal aspects. We had a lot of positive comments about it. Secondly, originally one of the items on the agenda tonight was to discuss the intersection at SOM and Sandalwood. I asked that be taken off the agenda tonight only so that I could get some additional information from the Traffic Engineer. There are some aspects to this that I just did not feel comfortable with until I had a chance to discuss this more with the engineer. I just wanted to vet this a little more thoroughly before I could give my endorsement to Council on this whole project. I am not trying to put the brakes on this at all. I just wanted to make sure I understood fully that this is right for the entire Village of Mayfield and not just for the schools. I wanted to have the opportunity to look at all the information thoroughly before I could recommend this to Council.

We gave away two of them to Highland Heights and kept the third. We have gotten that up and functioning and filled with calcium chloride. During the last real cold streak we were happy to apply some just to see how it worked. It is a tremendous tool that we will be able to use in the future. Not something we will use much of because it's pretty potent stuff. We don't need it very often, but when it gets down to the low teens and single digits and below, that's a product that will save us and certainly make the roadways a lot better. Council President Saponaro asked, any questions to any of the Deparhnent Heads? There were none.
