<br />July 4h Fireworks, Village Days, Cruise Night and Mother's Day Pancake Breakfast, donning the
<br />bunny suit for Easter Parties, developing the Village's first website, establishing the Records
<br />Commission to organize Village records, and, when needed, providing assistance to all
<br />Departments. In 1985, former Police Chief Stevens provided Donna with a Letter of
<br />Commendation after she provided "invaluable assistance" to the Police Department. He stated,
<br />"It is certainly nice to know that members of other municipal departments can pitch in to help out
<br />another department during times of need"; and
<br />WHEREAS, in 1996, Mayor Bruce Rinker presented Donna with an Outstanding Citizen
<br />Award, notably in the Award's inaugural year; and
<br />WHEREAS, in 2005, Donna's talents took her to the Human Services Department, which
<br />later became known as Senior Services, where she spent the remainder of her career assisting
<br />Mayfield Village's seniors, developing and overseeing recreational and educational programming,
<br />running the senior snow plow program, arranging bus trips, and most recently, during the COVID-
<br />19 pandemic, making regular calls to seniors at their homes to check on their health and well-
<br />being; and
<br />WHEREAS, Donna Heath has served the community of Mayfield Village with
<br />exceptional commitment for over 40 years and, during her tenure, she was instrumental in
<br />facilitating its growth. She watched over many Charter Review Commissions, helped develop the
<br />2020 Vision Plan, and supported many initiatives, most notably, the SOM Center Road Widening
<br />Project, the retention and growth of Progressive Insurance, and the development of the Parkview
<br />recreational complex.
<br />WHEREAS, Mayfield Village and its residents have clearly benefitted and prospered as a
<br />result of Donna's dedication and hard work.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF
<br />MAYFIELD VILLAGE, OHIO, THAT:
<br />Donna Heath be and is hereby recognized and congratulated for 40 years of
<br />dedicated and exceptional service to Mayfield Village. On behalf of residents,
<br />business owners department heads and staff, we wish her many years of health
<br />and hWiness enjoying travel dinners out with friends and family, golf, and
<br />yes heavy metal.
<br />Back to you Steve.
<br />Council President Schutt stated, it's my understanding that Donna's audio is not working so she's
<br />not able to make any comments. We just want to thank her for her commitment and dedication to
<br />the Village.
<br />Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mr. Marquardt, made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 2020-40.
<br />Council President Schutt asked, discussion? Any questions?
