Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, June 17, 2019 Page 3 Chief Matias (Police) — On May 17th, Sergeant Kathy Troyer graduated from the Police Executive Leadership College. It's also known as PELC. PELC is a graduate level course that focuses on development and application of leadership concepts for law enforcement supervisors. It's a three month program that they do while they are working. Sergeant Troyer is the first Mayfield Village officer to graduate from PELC so we are kind of proud of her for that. I just wanted to acknowledge her accomplishment. Also, as you have seen, we have our Open House coming up on July 6th. I just wanted to formally invite everyone. Come to our Open House on July 6th from Noon -4:00. If you have not been to the station, come and take a look and enjoy. Committee Reports: Citizens Advisory Committee (Patsy Mills): We met on May 28th. We had an update on the memorial benches and improvements at Parkview Pool, the Grove and Memorial Day Services at Whitehaven which were very very nice. Very well attended again. We had a Flag retirement last Friday night. We disposed of 1,493 flags. Some of the flags were held back. The ones that were at the cemetery that were in good condition. The Boy Scout Troop is going to. the Worldwide Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia in July and they will be taking those flags and using them there to put them around on their campsite. Last year, the Jamboree was just for the United States. There were 5,000 Boy Scouts there. They camp for the whole week. We have the Blue Star dedication coming up. Did everyone get their mailer that was sent out? I would like to invite everybody to join us in that. That is a very nice event. Council President Saponaro stated, why don't you explain it so everyone knows? Mrs. Mills replied, during the Second World War, people would hang these little three by 5 flags with a blue star for their members who were in the service. If a member was killed during active duty, a gold star was put there in place. This Blue Star Monument is something that the Garden Club of Ohio has promoted for probably the last 10 years. We decided to do it with the help of Mayfield Village which I thank Diane and the Mayor and everyone that has been involved in this to get it all together. It should be a nice service. We will have some of the officers from the Garden Club of Ohio joining us for that service. Council President Saponaro asked, what date is that? Mrs. Mills replied, it will be outside on the little patio outside the front door here. They have already started to put the flagpole up. There will be a flagpole and we have a plaque that they are mounting on a stone with a blue star on it and there will be a little garden in there. Hopefully the Garden Club ladies will maintain it, Doug? Council President Saponaro asked, and what date is it? Mrs. Mills replied, July 10th at 7:00 p.m. Council President Saponaro stated. e hops. c er�one ct311 joie;.
