Regular Council Minutes <br />5/16/OS <br />Page 12 <br />Mrs. Mills said strangely enough, you don't hear anything about what is going on in Gates <br />Mills because they have wells being drilled there. What bothers me is when these wells go <br />dry and you try to get the state to come in and cap them, and it takes forever for them to <br />act. <br />Council President Buckholtz said that stuff sat on my front yard for 2 years. <br />Mrs. Mills said they were very tardy in doing it. It is just like when they did strip mining. <br />They took the minerals out of the land and that was it. They didn't go any farther. <br />Council President Buckholtz said I guess what I wanted from Council tonight was if you <br />want to discuss it more we will just put it on Caucus for June. But I would at least like to <br />send a message through-we could do a Resolution in title. If that is okay with everybody, <br />Joe, could we do a Resolution in title of our giving our support. And if we want to get <br />involved more we can just put that then for discussion at Caucus, unless anyone wants to <br />do that tonight as an ordinance. <br />Dr. Parker said I don't think we have enough information to do anything tonight or to have <br />a Resolution supporting it. We may want to allow it but only under circumstances instead <br />of saying flat out no. obviously there may be situations in which a person, perhaps in a <br />remote area of their property or something and it is not going to be an eyesore, etc. etc. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked are you talking about Mayfield Village? <br />Dr. Parker said Mayfield Village; I thought what we need to do is find out what the <br />regulations are from the State (I thought it would be nice to get their regulations) and then <br />maybe look at creating our own. <br />Mrs. Mills said but it is state regulated. <br />Dr. Parker said we have to look at their regulations first, I think <br />Council President Buckholtz said before we do an ordinance, correct. <br />Mr. Marrie said from what I read, they have the right to drill, basically, wherever they <br />want. The last place you figure they would be drilling is in the cemetery and they are and <br />have and they have gone on private property. I understand, personally that is, if somebody <br />has 40 acres and they want to put it on the back two acres or something like that, that is <br />fine but the state-and correct me if I am wrong, Joe-has the right to put it wherever they <br />want to go. <br />Mr. Diemert said they have usurped all local control over it. <br />Council President Buckholtz said we can allow it-but it is the idea that right now we have <br />no say-
