Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Ivlonday, April 18, 2016 , <br />Page 2 <br />Council President Saponaro stated, it's not the same. All they are doing in this is referring an <br />application to rezone it. All that means is that it goes in front of the electorate. You, everyone can <br />vote on it. It's not - <br />Mr. Clu-istian stated, everyone in this Village, how many people come to these meetings? Half the <br />time there's only three of us here, okay? Nobody in this Village gives a rat's butt about what the <br />Village does. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, they do. I don't think that's ti-ue. I thinlc w11en it comes before <br />everyone where there has to be a vote, people will stand up and take notice. <br />Mr. Chu-istian stated, people will just say, yeah, go ahead, we don't care. I live down at the other <br />end of the Village, what do I care about this end of the Village for? I think this Council should <br />stand up and say no, we're not going to do it. Thank you. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, it's not this Council's decision. It's the electorate's decision. <br />Mr. Christian stated, it's Council's decision to put it before the electorate. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, the Council can put it before the electorate or the electorate can <br />put it before - a Committee can put it before the voters as well. It can be done either way, but it's <br />not been our position to stop residents from being able to weigh in and to vote on soinething. It's <br />their right to do that. They need to look at the infonnation and go from there.** Anyone else want <br />to comment, Joe, do you want to corrunent on this at all? <br />Mr. Diemert stated, just that the Planning Cominission's chartered duties are to look at these kinds <br />of requests and make their recominendation to Council and then Council inakes a decision, so we <br />are in the very beginning stages of this. It will be well-publicized. There will be public notices. <br />There will be all kinds of public awareness. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, very good. Did everyone hear that? Yes? Wonderful. Okay. <br />Anyone else? <br />There was no further comment. <br />***Clarification following ineeting: <br />"The citizens themselves can put it up for a vote before the electorate."
