Minutes of a Public Hearing <br />On Proposed Charter Review Revisions <br />8-10-10 <br />Page 31 <br />Frank Sirianni <br />800 Hardwood Court <br />I just wanted to say that one of the things obviously great minds have said is the only fear I have <br />is fear itself but one of the fears was fear of the unknown and this proposal takes away what will <br />be known and I think that's what's on the mind of all these people. <br />The other night there was only a handful of people in one room and in a couple of days you <br />already have this many of the concerned citizens. Citizens of Mayfield Village are very <br />concerned about our future as well as the Commission that worked on this, I'm sure. Again, Mr. <br />Jochum mentioned. Yes, all these people here are very appreciative of people who volunteer <br />their time, who work and have the same goal of making Mayfield Village the best place to live <br />in. It was rated number one several years ago. I think we've dropped to 14. But, again, we have <br />valuable greenspace. We have amenities in this community. Progressive worked out. We still <br />have one large organization. But the other thing is again you mentioned, yes we seceded from <br />way back when and became Mayfield Village. If we were part of Mayfield Heights, I think we'd <br />start seeing strip stores going all the way down SOM Center. So, people are very concerned and <br />realistically everybody here is here because they only have the best interest of Mayfield Village <br />in mind. Thank you. <br />The audience applauded. <br />A1 Scaccia <br />6705 Glenview <br />I have been in the Village on and off for the past 45 years. I have a question. I would like to <br />find out. Did you say five years on committee, every five years we do the committee? <br />Mr. Diemert replied, yes. <br />Mr. Scaccia asked, well how come our Charter says every 10 years and we have to have 8 <br />people? <br />Mr. Diemert replied, I think it's been probably amended by a Charter Review Commission <br />somewhere along - <br />Wes Marotte <br />Glenview <br />I was on the last Charter Review Committee. The proposal was made to change from 5 to 10 <br />years. The vote to change from 5 to 10 years was a dead heat. I believe it was tied. <br />Unfortunately it got printed in the new Charter and it is incorrect. I checked with the Board of <br />Elections at the time because I was concerned having been on the Charter Review Committee <br />and I was told specifically that it was a dead heat and therefore it should not be in the current
