Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, November 18, 2019 <br />Page 3 <br />Council President Saponaro stated, join me in congratulating Cheryl. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, I would like to take about 5 minutes. We have a long agenda, <br />but I would like to take a break. We have cake in the back to celebrate Cheryl. I know her <br />family and friends are here and those who support her. Let's take a 5 minute break and <br />congratulate Cheryl. Thank you. <br />Council took a break at 7:10 p.m. <br />Council reconvened at 7:15 p.m. <br />OPEN PORTION <br />— For Public Comment (5 -minute limit imposed by Chair) <br />Derek McDowell <br />6543 Highland Road <br />I am able to talk now about the other item that I wanted to talk about in the last meeting? I just <br />wanted to make sure, yes? <br />Council President Saponaro stated, the other item that you are talking about is a private agreement <br />with the school board and other parties so it has nothing to do with Mayfield Village. <br />Mr. McDowell asked, so I am not able to talk about it? <br />Council President Saponaro stated, you can say whatever you'd like to, but we can't speak on it <br />because it has nothing to do with us. <br />Mr. McDowell stated, okay, I am going to go ahead and take my 5 minutes. So, I read an article in <br />the paper, Cleveland.com, about a property swap for the high school. Part of what Mayfield is <br />engaged in was they wanted to ease traffic on Wilson Mills. In exchange for that, Skoda Construction <br />would be able to use the property on Wilson Mills for, I guess, realigning the intersection of Miner <br />and old Center School would be given to Skoda, or sold to Skoda. So, my question is —I guess you <br />guys can't answer questions. <br />Council President Saponaro stated we can't answer questions because it has nothing to do with <br />Mayfield Village. <br />Mr. McDowell stated, I understand that. <br />Council President Saponaro stated, so you are addressing something to the public, okay, that has <br />nothing to do with the body that you are addressing it to which is perfectly fine I guess. It just <br />doesn't make sense. You are better off going to a School Board meeting and addressing it with the <br />School Board because the School Board is the one that's entering into it. We are not the School <br />
