Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council ` Tuesday, January 18, 2011 Page 4 COMMENTS FROM MAYOR RINKER Mayor Rinker stated, as the audience can see, Council .has on the agenda a sort of celebratory evening tonight. Setting the tone, it's my privilege to request that Council adopt a Resolution of Congratulations to Dr. Price. He has been our Superintendent since 1998 and as noted by the Buckeye Association of School Administrators, he received an award recently for the 2011 Superintendent of the Year. We couldn't let the opportunity pass to chime in and me too. Mayor Rinlcer read the Resolution into the record. First Reading of Resolution No. 2011-03, entitled "A Resolution of Congratulations to Dr. Phillip Price - Ohio's Superintendent of the Year". Introduced by Mayor Rinker and Council as a Whole. Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Saponaro, made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2011-03. ROLL CALL: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Resolution Adopted Mayor Rinker added that out of over 610 school districts, there were just over 100 that received the top level of awards for public school districts. Mayfield consistently scores there. We appreciate that. . Motion to approve the selections for the Committees and other administrative positions for 2011. Mayor Rinker will be swearing all of the Committee members in en masse. He asked that all of our volunteers step forward to be sworn in and to execute their Oaths of Office.. While the volunteers were coming up, Mayor Rinker stated, it's kind of an understatement to note that having volunteers in a community, especially Mayfield Village, which if you notice by the census, we are down to just over 3,000 people now: As a proportionate vote and proportionate participation, what you provide to our Village is even that much more significant. I think I'm preaching to the choir when I say that when you participate, that's probably the best form of citizenship, because I think we all know that in our country if you participate, government should work better and the work that you provide year in and year out, that you do for your community makes the community for all of us a much better place to live and it's my privilege to be able to swear you all in and look forward to another year of good work. So with that - (Members who were in attendance are noted by Other members were unable to be in attendance, but accepted their appointment. They will be administerecl the oath of office at an upcoming meet'ing.)
