Minutes of the Special Meeting of Council <br />Monday, June 7, 2021 <br />Page 3 <br />regarding zoning, land use, and building issues that affect Mayfield Village, <br />spending numerous evenings at meetings and becoming a friend and mentor to <br />many new members; <br />WHEREAS, in addition to the everyday tasks of issuing permits, <br />reviewing plans, and performing inspections, John spent the past 17 years artfully <br />dealing with a diverse range of people and neighborhood disputes, always with an <br />eye toward resolving issues through diplomacy rather than escalating tensions. <br />He has truly been a neighborhood ambassador; and <br />WHEREAS, John has provided leadership and guidance for many of the <br />improvement projects completed in and by the Village, including improvements <br />to the Civic Center, planning, design and construction of the Police Station, the <br />Community Room, and the Parkledge and Montebello residential developments; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, John has distinguished himself as a dedicated public servant, <br />at all times committed to helping the community, administering building code <br />regulations with a sense of fairness, and building cooperative relationships with <br />residents, local business owners, contractors, and other government organizations; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, John's colleagues know him as a calm, steady co-worker <br />and friend who takes pride in his work and is always ready to lend support or help <br />when needed.
