Regular Council Meeting Minutes 8-16-10 Page 10 Mrs. Triner replied, that's great. That's good to know. I don't know if Linda wanted to clarify when she mentioned some outrageous amendments. I'm not sure she meant all of them. There's some very good ones, as Phil Stella mentioned last week about the change of the language, the he-she stuff. I have a sense that, first of all, I appreciated the Marquardt/Parker amendments because I think that that stimulated some discussion. Not that I heard from Bill or Steve on that, but it got things out more in the open and so I think that was very helpful for them to have that amendment. I thuik some of the other ones seem to us maybe to be rushed, or that we were not informed because not having some of the Council meetings and Caucus meetings posted. I just wanted to ask, kind of a related question. I am under the impression there's an awful lot of Mayfield Village-owned property including that 15 acres that I guess Progressive was going to use, thought about using on SOM north of Wilson Mills. There's a huge amount that the Village owns there that we have bought a lot of houses and I'm not sure where to find information about what we own, what's going to be done. I know there's a 2003 2020 Plan, but I'm not sure if that's totally up to date or if the updates are there. We are just not clear on what the Village has planned for all of the land or how much land we really own. I can't speak to that. Going in reverse order, Mayor Rinker stated I'm not sure why you wouldn't know how much we've owned because we've published that. It was in the VOV two issues ago where it talked about the tota.l number of acreage. There was a full sheet. Mrs. Triner stated, that's good, we are all so busy, working or - Mayor Rinker stated, with all due respect, I have heard that line probably one time too many. You're talking to the wrong person about being busy. But I appreciate the fact that not everybody is going to be able to look at records. Historically, as a community we've kept record of just about everything we do. By law we have to. We have always tried to make it clear to folks that if they contact us we can copy that. I know that Mrs. Betsa's done that over the years. We all have done that. Mrs. Triner replied, she's great. Mayor Rinker stated, well, good, I'm glad you agree because they've always been diligent. I think last time I took to heart because it was a legitimate concern that we didn't have Minutes posted. We really did try to rectify that as best we could. We are getting better in terms of what we can make available on the web. On the other hand we have a lot of feedback from people that say they don't use the computer, they're not computer literate, so we do have a lot of different ways that we've tried to make it available. I thinlc a lot of times people just don't particularly know. We don't try to discourage it. It's just a lot of times the day-to-day stuff just escapes a lot of us. I understand that when people say they're busy, that I fully understand and we appreciate it. But we have tried over the years to show people that the lands that the Village has acquired has been to aggregate for park purposes. A lot of it is for infrastructure, stormwater areas, streams, for example, the Parlcledge property that is north of Fisher's Tavern. That was the properly that was rezoned that was a referendum issue. It had gone through a pretty long process for about two years beiween
