Minutes of a Public Hearing On Proposed Charter Review Revisions 8-10-10 Page 20 anybody could go. It is just not the truth. Let's talk the truth. Because I'm standing here and I know if you had announced it, I would have gone. The audience applauded. Richard Davis Hanover We are a relative newcomer to the Village, only about 23 years. I am one of those that's unlike the last speaker, I only come to the meetings when I feel that there's a need for me to show up and represent my opinion. However, this afternoon I took advantage of a couple hours and read through the Council meeting Minutes which were forwazded to me by e-mail and the Caucus meeting Minutes for the two most recent meetings that had long discussions identified by individuals of these proposed items. First of all I would like to compliment the Council for the openness of those communications. It was a lively discussion. I could almost feel I was at the meetings from reading through those minutes and my compliments to whoever takes the Minutes. They had to be going crazy by the amount of stuff that was discussed. The dissenting opinion was very interesting and it reflected the different viewpoints and the possible proposing of a replacement for one of those ordinances that would be put to the ballot. The possible replacement went for the 2010-23, that had a possible replacement ordinance relative to the exclusion of residential rezoning as opposed to all rezoning. But I think the important thing that I wanted to convey is it's good to see that interaction and the discussiori amongst the Council members. I think that that, I would concur with Jean Triner, if those Minutes had been more available on the website to more people you might have gotten more feedback sooner. I also was unaware that the Charter Review Committee was open to other people for participation in their proceedings. But I am glad to see that Council decided to open up this forum to get feedback. I think based on the crowd that's here, you are getting positive response to an interest level in these ordinances much of which appears to be against those ordinances. Again, thank you for your efforts. Council President Buckholtz asked, so is that positive-negative or negative-positive? The audience laughed and applauded. Megan Parsons 513 SOM Center Road Corruption is nothing new to Mayfield Village. My parents lived in this Village since 1952. To wit: the Parkview Golf Course incident which resulted in a lot of litigation and taking it to the Ohio Supreme Court. Basically folks, I am with Mr. Christian. I do not trust you. You are asking for too much power and it sounds like something coming out of Washington these days.
