Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, April 20, 2020 Page 7 set up at Mayfield High School to test or vaccinate large numbers of people quickly. Medical and non-medical volunteers are being sought to help with the POD and a registration form is available on the Village website. The Service Department is currently rotating shifts to minimize the number of employees at the Service Garage, however, by the first week of May, they will be back at full staffing to take care of outdoor work such as grass cutting, landscaping, mulch delivery and other outdoor maintenance. During this time of crisis, the Community Partnership on Aging has been more important than ever in helping to sustain our seniors. They continue to distribute meals through a curbside pickup model, and Meals on Wheels also continues to deliver meals, with some modifications. With the efforts of our Senior Programming Coordinator Donna Heath to check on our seniors and with the work of our partners, I believe that we are doing what we can to help our seniors to make sure that they know that we are here to assist them. We have cancelled all of our non-essential meetings, rentals and programming through May 10 and will re-evaluate as that date approaches. We have cancelled the Mother's Day Pancake Breakfast, as well as all senior programming and events at the Community Room. Of course, full refunds are being issued for cancelled programs and rentals. The annual Town Hall Meeting on Finances that Finance Director Ron Wynne and I host each year will be cancelled this year. However, the full version of this State of the Village report along with Mr. Wynne's report on the Village's financial position, will be included in the upcoming Voice of the Village which will be mailed to all residents shortly. We will be monitoring our revenue situation very closely in making sure we avail ourselves of all available assistance to municipalities from County, State and the Federal government sources. As I said, the Voice of the Village will be finding its way to your home shortly. In this issue in particular we will provide a wealth of information on a variety of topics, many related to COVID- 19. Please take a few minutes to review it and maybe even hang on to it as a resource. From all of us here in Mayfield Village to all of you, we thank you for your support, encouragement and many kindnesses during this challenging time. God bless you and good evening. Thank you. Comments from Council President Schutt Thank you Mayor Bodnar. I just wanted to also mention that I agree with everything she said. The Village is in a strong financial position so there's no need to worry there. I also want to commend our Department Heads for all they have done for the safety of their employees and our residents, so a special thank you to all of them. We will continue on down this path that we have never seen before. Hopefully everybody stays healthy and safe out there. Thank you. We do have one birthday that we would like to acknowledge. Our Parks and Recreation Director `a Shane McAvinew. Happy early birthday. His birthday is on April 23
