Good evening everyone. I have a lot of ground to cover tonight so <br />I would like to begin by thanking a gentleman who has covered a lot of ground for Mayfield Village <br />literally for the past 25 years. I have a Resolution thanking our Service Director, Doug Metzung, <br />for 25 years of dedicated service to Mayfield Village. I would like to read it into the record and <br />then request that Council pass this Resolution. <br />A RESOLUTION THANKING MAYFIELD VILLAGE <br />SERVICE DIRECTOR DOUGLAS METZUNG <br />FOR 25 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO MAYFIELD VILLAGE <br />WHEREAS, in 1996, Douglas Metzung was hired by Mayor Bruce G. Rinker as Mayfield <br />Village's Director of Public Service; and <br />WHEREAS, before bringing his talents to Mayfield Village, Doug had worked for many <br />years as a Service Department employee in the City of Willowick, Ohio, ultimately being <br />promoted to the position of Service Director there; and <br />WHEREAS, Doug brought with him expertise in road maintenance and sewer <br />construction and he was immediately thrown into the septic to sanitary conversion project in the <br />Worton Park neighborhood. Notably, during Doug's tenure, septic systems have been eliminated <br />from all Village neighborhoods and replaced with sanitary sewers; and <br />WHEREAS, while the annual road salt bids, trash removal contracts, road improvement <br />projects and waterline and sewer installations that Doug oversaw are too numerous to mention, <br />Doug also had a hand in much of the transformation of Mayfield Village over the past three <br />decades, including: <br />• The construction or renovation of many of the Village's public facilities, most notably the <br />purchase of the United Methodist Church and its conversion into our current Civic Center; <br />• The development of Progressive's second campus and the widening of SOM Center Road; <br />• The addition of over 100 acres of land dedicated to public parkland, green space and <br />recreational facilities, which then, much to his chagrin, became part of his responsibility to <br />
