Regular Council Meeting <br />9-22-03 <br />Page 10 <br />or three-almost think of a necklace where you've got them linked together but spread out <br />enough so no one lot becomes an eyesore or overburdens the area as far as drainage goes. The <br />other question is what should the makeup be. Do we want it paved? We've seen in a couple of <br />instances but I think we've not taken good enough advantage of the geoblock (which is <br />something that is-we've looked at it for example up at the AlterCare facility and the Assisted <br />Living facility on the north side where the fire lane was-we were very seriously looking at <br />making that fire lane out of this geoblock where grass can grow through it so you sort of screen <br />it. Then that ended up not succeeding because the concern from the Fire Department was that per <br />the heavier equipment that it could prove to be problematic. Yet when you look on the north side <br />of that facility, it is really kind of a shame. There's this huge slab of asphalt which hopefully <br />never gets used, but there it is. As far as I am concerned it is pretty much an eyesore. Yet that is <br />an impervious area, it is non-productive, it doesn't look very good and kind of defeats the <br />purpose in a park-like setting where you have this expanse of asphalt. Again, keep in mind some <br />of the modalities maybe that rather than asphalt paving, maybe gravel is going to be sufficient or <br />maybe some geoblock and something on a smaller scale where we could calculate the total <br />number of parking spaces and you could spread it out maybe in 3 different locations. Again, keep <br />an open mind to some of the permeations of this. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked if everyone is satisfied. The conversation we had at Caucus <br />was just concerned with if we wanted it paved that they would be willing to pave the whole thing <br />and this letter serves to do that so that would be the maximum responsibility for them. But I <br />concur, there's lots of creative ways to deal with that down the road. Council President <br />Buckholtz asked if there were any other comments and there were none. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />Agreement Authorized <br />^ A motion to authorize a 3-year contract between Mayfield Village and Zambelli <br />International Fireworks Mfg. Co. Inc. for fireworks an expenditure in the amount <br />of $10,000 <br />Mr. Riter, seconded by Mr. Marrie, made a motion to authorize a 3-year contract between <br />Mayfield Village and Zambelli International Fireworks Mfg. Co. Inc. for fireworks an <br />expenditure in the amount of $10,000 [per year for 3 years.] <br />Mrs. Mills noted the motion should read "10,000 per year for each of the three years." Mrs. <br />Mills, Council President Buckholtz and other members of Council expressed thanks to Mr. Vara <br />for the work he did through this. Council President Buckholtz acknowledged Mr. Vara in the <br />audience and said it was a wonderful deal he worked up with him; a wonderful letter we got <br />back. He understands we got more than we even asked for when we went back to them. Mr. Vara <br />said yes. Council President Buckholtz and several other Council members expressed kudos to <br />Mr. Vara again. Council President Buckholtz asked if there were any other comments; there were <br />none. <br />
