Minutes of a Public Hearing On Proposed Charter Review Revisions 8-10-10 Page 22 You're not supposed to be required to come to every meeting and watch every move. That's what you elect your officials for. But just like we appoint people to a Commission like this, we let them do their job. We see what they come up with and that's it. So, again, that's what happens. Dino Marino 687 Bramblewood I have lived on Bramblewood for 23 years. My only concern is the language on these proposed changes. Would a"yes" mean a no and a"no" mean a yes or is it going to be plain English? I come from Italy. Sometimes I get confused. Mr. Diemert replied, that's a good question. Each ordinance has the actual language on it Dino and it's very clear that if you vote yes, the adoption of the amendment will occur. If you vote no, it will not. Mr. Marino continued, I didn't know at all that this was going on. I played golf today. Mr. Saponaro asked, you didn't know the public meeting today was going on either? Mr. Marino replied, I just found out today. Council President Buckholtz stated that several years ago, he does not know if this was the Board of Elections or who it was, but just a couple of years ago they started right on the ballot, it says something like this, "shall this happen?" there's a question mark, it says, "do you want this to happen?" so it's real easy to read that and say, yes I do or no I don't. That was an issue for many many years, I suspect, a long time ago. Jim Triner 829 Hanover Road I am a recent Village resident, just 21 years here. First of all, I would like to thank the Council for putting the 2020 Plan on the website just this afternoon around 5:00. It's great to see that. Also, you talk about the greenspace - Mayor Rinker stated, it's been on there for a few years. Mr. Triner stated, it has not. Because it just hit the computer on the website this afternoon because we've checked it. Mayor Rinker stated, it's been on there for a few years.
