Architectural Review Board - Mr. Marrelli stated, there was no meeting last month. There will be a meeting this Thursday. Board of A~~eals - Mr. Marrelli stated, Board of Appeals was scheduled to meet tomorrow. The attorney for the applicant sent us an e-mail today asking to cancel that until further notice. Council President Buckholtz asked, let us know when that is. Mr. Marrelli replied, as soon as we reschedule it. Cemetery -Mrs. Mills reported, the Garden Club planted mums on the outer edge of the fence. Citizen's Advisory Board - Mr. Jerome reported, our last meeting was on September 22na Mrs. O'Brien came by from Community Partnership on Aging. We talked about the topic of seniors staying in their home, modifying their home or some other options such as moving to Governor's Village or other assisted living facilities. A couple interesting facts was she said that 80% of senior population wants to stay in their home. The State has championed that idea. It saves the State and people a lot of money if they can stay in their home rather than go in to a care facility. Also, we discussed the fact that seniors staying engaged socially is very important, whether at home or in a group home situation. Another point was that in the future, seniors being able to stay in Mayfield Village -what are some of the options? Obviously Governor's Village is one of them, but what are some other options? Shirley Jay was talking about a couple of friends of hers that lived in Mayfield Village. There were no options for them. They had to move out of the Village. Other than that, upcoming events were discussed. You Got Hate Mail was in the Civic Center at Civic Hall. It started on Friday and will be running for three weeks. Council President Buckholtz asked, how did that go? Mr. Jerome replied, Diane said she went. She said it was all right. Not a huge crowd, but it was the first week. Safety and Service -Safety and Service met on October 6a'. Mr. Jerome stated, in addition to other items, we discussed the Drainage and Infrastructure Committee. I brought some ideas of whether it is something we need to expand, or if it needs more money put into it; what's the future of this Committee? At the next meeting, we will talk about some of those issues and see what everyone on the Committee thinks. Council President Buckholtz suggested that the Committee look at more holistic approaches to the problem. Maybe Drainage and Infrastructure can identify a pattern, between Service and Administration and Engineering. Another alternative is just building up the coffers which I agree with. It's going to take more money. There was a memo prepared a few years back which stated it's going to get to a point where it has to be handled by not that Committee.
