Regular Council Meeting Minutes 5-17-10 Page 4 the children. It was a very good turnout. Thank you to the Service Department. They do such an excellent job in setting up the room and making sure that everything is done right. When it's all over, they come in and re-clean and do their thing one more time. Mrs. Mills is passing around a volunteer sheet this evening for Cruise Night. Check to see if your name is on the list and if not, we would like you to sign up if you can. We have a meeting tomorrow night. We will be discussing the Summer Concerts and Fourth of July. Architectural Review Board - There was no meeting. There is no report. Beautification Committee - Mr. Marrie reported that the next meeting is Wednesday, May 25th Board of Anpeals - There was no meeting. There is no report. Cemeterv - Mrs. Mills reported that some of the women from the Garden Club, Jean Britton, Carole Marrie and herself have been working at the cemetery to get it ready for Memorial Day, etc. With the help of the Service Department, Mrs. Mills thinks we are going to accomplish it one more time. Citizen's Advisorv - Mr. Marrie reported that Citizen's Advisory met on May l lth. One of the items discussed was the Memorial Day Service at the Cemetery. We have volunteers to put the flags down on the 29th. We can certainly use more to make the job easier. There are thousands to be put down. The Service will be 1:00 on the 30th. All are welcome. Hopefully some of you can attend. One of the other things discussed was a Neighborhood Watch. At the meeting prior to this one, a member asked about a Watch in lieu of what had happened at CVS. Chief Dearden was good enough to come in and discuss it with the members during the meeting. It will be discussed more. Nothing was settled, but a Neighborhood Watch is only as good as the people that are involved in it, which is really the neighbors themselves. We are fortunate that Mayfield Village Police Department gets calls about suspicious cars or suspicious people, so our neighbors do watch out for each other. Chief Dearden will agree with him that they get a lot of calls just on that. He has encouraged them to do that. It's a lot easier and better to make a call to the police department on something like that than if they get a call after something happens. He encouraged everyone to do that. There have been more calls for their time and effort. Basically, people should use a little common sense. If something seems out of place and out of whack, someone should make a phone call or bring it someone's attention. We also discussed the tax levy and wanted to thank Ron and the Mayor for their effort with all of the meetings that we had. Not taking anything away from the Mayor, but Ron did an excellent job attending all the meetings, including all Village Board and Committee meetings, which adds up to a tremendous amount of ineetings. He attended them all to explain it to everyone. That went over very well. The Citizen's Advisory Committee agreed that that helped in a big way. The other thing they discussed about the levy was that it was a nice touch to have the "Thank You" signs across the levy signs after it passed. Usually it passes and someone pulls the signs out and that's the end of that. It was a nice way to do it. The Malachi House and Veterans collection went extremely well. We got a few items during Election Day. The bin was left at the voting location. We did very well during the Pancake Breakfast. A lot of things were dropped off. Overall, it's extremely gratifying that it was that successful. Mr. Marrie promised Bill he would get the
