1-28-02 Page 2 Roll Call: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Minutes Approved Organizational Council Meeting - January 7, 2002 - Mrs. Mills, seconded by Dr. Parker, made a motion to approve the minutes. Roll Call: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Minutes Approved COlVIMENTS FROM MAYOR RINKER Mayor Rinker said it is nice to see such a good turnout tonight. Council will be considering various appointments, both for contract positions as well as all our volunteers. I would like to sound, what I believe is a very optimistic note for the year ahead. Apart from what has been a long-developing project on S.O.M. Center Road which we think will start in earnest later on this year, we also have started to review our future. The 2020 Vision group that I talked about a couple of issues ago in the Voice of the Village is starting to form up and will be a reality-- hopefully as soon as February 1 lth we will be convening something of an organizational meeting. This is a process that is intended to take part in the next year or two years. It is not something that is time-driven but I think it is time that we look at issues all across the board--about the quality of life in Mayfield Village--the things that we like, the things that we feel could be improved upon, and generally get a good sense of direction and point the way toward the future. That process will begin this year. Otherwise, I look forward to working with this Council and working with all the volunteers on whom we rely so very much. Having participation within our community is essential; it is not just something nice to do, something good to do, it is something that is very necessary to do. The more that you know, the more that you understand and participate, the more that we all benefit from it. I congratulate you for your involvement and look forward to the year ahead. COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT BUCKHOLTZ Council President Buckholtz said he would like to thank everyone that is here. In the 7 years that I have been on Council, this is probably the most number of new faces joining committees and that is what we want to see. If there are more people that you know that want to get involved, that is why we put out these chairs and we would like to see them filled for all the meetings. Thanks for coming.
