.. IVlinutes of the'Regular Meeting of Council <br />Moriday, January 23, 2017 <br />Page. l l . <br />tliis is a. Chaxter amendment. issue, then. it's a Charter ameridriient issue. We have no problem; . . with that. . <br />Mr. Powelsori stated; I am okay with that. I was just curious. Is there's something on this, and <br />maybe you don't know and if you dori't know, that'. s fine: Is there something on there that's not <br />accurate? I see some specific facts that talk about part-time being redesignatecl as full-time; <br />insurance being provided, in lieu of that, some sort of cash compensation. Is that 'stuffaccurate? <br />Council President Saponaro replied, some of the stuff.is parY of the proposed ordinance because <br />it's._based on the existing ordinance: That's what it's based on. So, I am not saying it's not <br />accurate. What the law deparhnerit did is they took the existing ordinance and made a change.to <br />it. They didn't create a separate ordinance for it. . <br />Mr. Powelson asked, so those things are accurate that are on there? <br />Council President Saponaro replied, I don't know. He knows. He can tell you more if it is <br />accurate or not. <br />Mr. Powelson stated, I think this is what has these folks riled up here. Re-classifications and the <br />whole thing. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, I ean't speak to you on that. That was all the point of having <br />the discussion so that we can talk this through and determine if this is something that we even <br />want. But we have to have an open discussion about it because it has not been out there: Council <br />has not put it out there to have an open discussion. It's hard to have an open discussion because <br />this is the concern because people will look at it like we are trying to be self-serving. <br />Mr. Powelson stated, I support you guys, you are 100% above board. I don't question any of <br />that. I think you guys have done an amazing job and I love living in Mayfield Village. But <br />honestly, that concerned me. The other thing that coricerned me was I thinlc the thing that you <br />said with the most frequency today is, you know what, this thing was sitting out here? <br />Council President Saponaro replied, it was. <br />Mr. Powelson stated, I agree. And it would have been irresponsible to continue to let this thing - <br />Council President Saponaro stated, it had just been sitting out there and it kept coming up so we <br />needed to take care of it one way or the other. <br />Mr. Powelson stated, beautiful. <br />Council President Saponaro continued, let's bite the bullet and let's do the hard job that you <br />elected us to do and deal with it. <br />1VIr. Powelson stated, absolutely.
