Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, March 19, 2018 Page 8 What I would like to see this evening is that this week I will reach out to Diane and schedule a ineeting. I have a proposal which I think will make everyone happy. It simply entails moving the existing light a few feet. I think it's going to avoid some problems down the road. Carla DiFranco 553 Zorn Lane I walk a lot in the neighborhood. The weather has gotten better and I have been walking and I nul into a lot of people with regards to the light. I had several people approach me and they wanted to know what Dino and I, because we have been long time residents of this Village, what we did to get this wonderful light, thinking that we wanted the light because some people like lights, some people don't. If we poll the whole street, I am sure we will get some people that want it and some people that don't and some people that are neutral. The point is, I pointed out to these people that I did not want the light. I•did not ask for the light. I never knew the light was going up. I was never told the light was going up. And they were appalled. They were appalled that this light occurred; it happened to be put up and no one was told about- it. Some of them were residents on Zorn Lane and they said, I didn't know a light was going up, it was just there. I think that there are the ones that asked for the light and they are thankful. I am sure they are very thankful Mayor Bodnar, but there's a lot of people that didn't want the light and the point here is the light went up unfairly. It's ridiculous that there's one light. People are asking why is there only one light and in all of this entire area you were chosen , with the light. It's ridiculous. There have been crimes and things that have happened in other areas of Mayfield Village. They don't have lights. It's just wrong. It's just completely wrong. That's all I have to say. Dino DiFranco 533 Zorn I am not going to say the things right now that I have here but I am going to make a proposal. I hope Council will seriously listen because one thing that it is coming to as my wife is alluding to, people are upset and they want their own light. So, this has set a precedent. I think you are going to be facing a lot of residents requesting lights. It's a big expense. A lot of the places, they want the lights on the telephone pole. So, I hope you will listen to my suggestion because my suggestion will be to move the light to the edge of our development, actually putting it on the adjacent development. It will look a lot better. It will function better. It will avoid the necessity to turn the residents from my development that are now going to turn up looking for a light. Thank you. . Council President Saponaro stated, thank you. Is there anyone else who wants to speak during the Open Portion? There were no further comments.
