MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL Mayfield Village August 13, 2001 The Council of Mayfield Village met in regular session on Monday, August 13, 2001 at 8:37 p.m. in the Mayfield Village Senior Center/Community Room. Council President Bill Marquardt presided. ROLL CALL: Present: Mr. Buckholtz, Mr. Busa, Mrs. Cinco, Mr. Ilacqua, Mr. Marquardt and Mrs. Mills Absent: Dr. Parker Also Present: Mayor Rinker, Mr. Brett, Mr. Cappello, Mr. Diemert, Mr. Metzung, Chief Mohr, Mr. Samac, Chief Stevens, Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Roman The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was given. OPEN PORTION Council President Marquardt asked if anyone wished to address Council. Sharon Koren, 785 Village Circle - said she is here because of the pumping station on her cul-de- sac. In the last 30-60 days they have changed the appearance of the pump station. What had been a tower and kind of a metal box has turned into a very large green--larger than an outhouse. She distributed photographs she had taken. She called the Mayor's Office and his assistant has been very helpful in keeping her up to date in what supposedly has been going on with the County to help remedy what this thing looks like and try to hide it. But in continuing her fact- finding mission, she discovered that the County and their landscape designer have not been in touch. Her concern, and why she is coming to Council is because it seems that the common solution is to hide or cover these boxes with 4 Arborvite which are immediately eaten by the deer and then die. She said she is asking for Council's help and some activity on their behalf to try and cover it or hide it in a much better fashion than what has commonly occurred in the past. Mr. Samac said that he and Mr. Metzung have both been in contact with the County Sanitary Engineers concerning that problem which was very accurately spoken about. He personally has left no less than 4 messages with the Arrow Landscaping Company which is the company that does the landscaping for Village Circle and Village Trails' common areas. When he spoke with the County Engineers, their comment was that they had not heard from the landscaper as of yet. Possibly the reason lies because they can't do any planting right now; it will probably have to wait until September. If it were planted in August, it would probably die in this heat. He has not given up trying to contact the landscaper to get a proposal to the Sanitary Engineers. It was their recommendation that we submit the landscaper who does the work there to them, let them come in with a plan and they will pay for the landscaping to camouflage this "outhouse." We will not give up; I will call the man again.
