Regular Council Meeting Minutes 3-15-10 Page 6 this something we might have a meeting in between and then have a discussion for Caucus? Mr. Marrie suggested we put it on Caucus. Council President Buckholtz agreed, put it on Caucus. Then you guys meet and discuss it. Get some feedback from department heads -through Doug. Then we will have something to talk about at Caucus. Historical Society - Mrs. Mills distributed a brochure to everyone. Also included is a bookmaxker we give to the children and a little card done on our printing press. We have two printing presses, one they have electrified and the other one is still a foot model which you pump. This is the brochure we give to the children to send home. Mrs. Mills is happy to report that we received Mayfield Heights' donation today in the mail. She is working on Highland Heights. It does not look too promising, but we are working on them. Hillcrest Council of Councils - Council President Buckholtz reported that they met Saturday before last. It was a greatly attended breakfast. The Fire Chief from Highland Heights gave a nice presentation. Several Chiefs were there. With regard to the fire forces in general in this area, they talked about their accomplishments. The word was skirted, but regional kinds of efforts. They talked more about cooperation and associations and doing things together, one municipality having a piece of equipment; another municipality having something comparable that fits together. Safety services in general, fire and EMS, by nature have been doing this for a long time. A lot of other departments need to either follow or take note of this. He can't call it anything but a regional type of inelding of services. It was well attended and the spirit of conversation. It was very productive. The Council plans on pursuing that based on their bringing in other groups and continuing that line pretty much as their focus. Council President Buckholtz stated to Chief Mohr, nicely done being a part of it, even though you were unable to attend the meeting. M.A.R.C. - Dr. Parker reported that M.A.R.C. met on March 4th. The Treasurer's Report shows the balance of about $27,000. Program updates included: floor hockey is finishing up for the younger kids; floor hockey for the older kids will be going through May; the cheerleading program is underway. In the past, it did not have enough participants. It was nice to see they were able to get that going. Mr. Thomas did report that the Mayfield Village Parks and Recreation brochure was completed. The next meeting is April 8th at 7:00 p.m. - the second Thursday of the month, not the typical Thursday. Ordinance Review Committee - Mr. Saponaro reported that Ordinance Review met on March 9`'. The gas and oil well drilling issue has been sitting on our agenda to see if there are any new developments. Ms. Calta has been reporting on that. A special purpose flood damage reduction ordinance being worked on by Tom Cappello with ODNR, was revised by the Committee. We are looking to get this approved so we can get it taken care of. With regard to the Beautification Ordinance, a written revision of the Ordinance was provided to the Committee members. We have looked at and now want to take it to Beautification Committee and discuss it with them and then we will go from there to see if everyone is in agreement with the proposed changes.
