Roll Call: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Minutes Approved COMMENTS FRQM MAYOR RINKER Mayor Rinker said he had a happy note and a solemn note. We will start with the happy. It is my pleasure to swear in the newest member of the Architectural Review Board: Ron Dinardo of Seneca. He is a 1988 graduate of Ohio State University School of Architecture. We are happy to have you here. Mayor Rinker administered the oath of office to Ron Dinardo as a member of the Architectural Review Board. Mayor Rinker read a resolution he had prepared in response to the events that happened on September l lth. (He read Resolution No. 2001-05.)

I don't know what else we can say except that we hope in the days to come and the years to come that this is a battle, a campaign, that we will all win.
