Regular Council Meeting 1-2400 Page 2 this news tonight), part of our ongoing approach in this Adxninistration is finding ways to have other sources of money help us achieve our goals. I have just received notification from Commissioner Jane Cainpbell that our application to the District One Public Works Integrating Committee (this is State Issue II funding; for those of you who have had some sewer work done, you will know that Issue II funds from the State have been instrumental in greatly reducing costs for those two projects that we had earlier.) This is for S.O.M. Center Road Widening. We have been recommended by DOPWIC (which is Cuyahoga County; this has to be approved by the State) for a$350,000 grant (that is straight payment to the Village) for the widening project and another $635,504 in a zero interest loan. This is a pretty cool gnillion dollars that Mayfield Village adds on to the $9 million we succeeded in securing already from O.D.O.T. This is recognition that this is an ambitious project; it's an important project not only to those of us in Mayfield Village, but it has a profound irxipact on our region. What we have is an excellent opportunity for us to take dollars that are recognized statewide as important to a larger community, nevertheless to have a very positive impact for our community. I think this is something we should all feel encouraged -that we are working toward some good common goals. Again, thank you all for coming here tonight. CONIlVIENTS FROM COUNCIL; PRESIDENT MARQUA.RDT Council President Marquardt said I want to thank all the people here that came to the swearing in ceremony. We have a lot of volunteers in the Village. I also want to congratulate Phil Brett. He has worked on this grant and low-interest loans for several years now. T'his is a remarkable accomplishment. DEPARTMENT HEAD REPORTS Service - Mr. Metzung said he wants to thank the gentlemen in my Department for what they take on as a typical occurrence, but when we have a snowstorm that lasts several days like this last one, it really is a lot of work for those men. I would really like to thank them publicly for the job that they take for granted. Building - Mr. Samac said at the next Caucus meeting we will have the plans submitted from Progressive for a substantial parking garage at their 300 North Commons Boulevard site. . . = Fire - Chief Mohr said we are getting ready to sell bicycle helmets to the community again this Spring.
