U <br />Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, October 17, 2022 <br />Page 11 <br />done lightly. It wasn't done haphazardly. It was done in the interest of everyone. You may not <br />feel that way. Again, this is public comment and we really are not here to debate on the subject. If <br />there are other public comments, we will certainly listen to them, but if not, we do have other items <br />to get to on our agenda. If you would like to make a comment, can you come up to the podium so <br />that we can get your name, your address and get your comments into the record? <br />Peggy Konieczny_ <br />6735 Thornapple Road <br />I have lived here for almost 40 years. I know Stuart just from the neighborhood. I retired from <br />the high school last year after 27 years. I have never seen that man do anything that was not <br />professional. Your comments about this is an open comment section, so our comments mean <br />nothing? The Villager staff, that means nothing to you, so you're telling us it's wasted breath, we <br />can just comment all we want but you don't value our opinion or opinions of the staff or students <br />or all of the e-mails that you received and yet his reputation really has gone down the drain. So, <br />is that fair to him when you hear from so many people? It's just wrong. And was there a full <br />investigation? I could see if there was a full investigation and he was found guilty of anything, <br />but seeing him on the street, I am going to say no. And I've never felt safer anywhere than I have <br />in Mayfield Village. I think it's a shame that obviously our comments mean nothing. They are <br />just comments and that's wrong. I still think you should reconsider. I think you should value <br />adults, former students, students who are there now instead of apparently this little situation that <br />happened that obviously he's not guilty because he was just reassigned. It makes me really wonder <br />about the Village. I appreciate the police force. They have been there every step of the way. I <br />have never felt safer with you guys, the Fire Department and the Village. I wouldn't have three- <br />quarters of my family living here if it wasn't safe. I wouldn't talk up Mayfield Village like I have <br />for 40 years if I didn't appreciate all of the hard work that everybody's done. But this really does <br />make me think about judgment here. Thank you. <br />Al Hess <br />5880 Highland Road <br />You made a comment earlier about this is not the appropriate agenda. When and where would it <br />be the appropriate agenda for this? <br />Ms. Calta stated, if I can clarify. It's not that it's not the appropriate agenda, I just wanted to <br />clarify what the role of Council is with regard to the matter that you are all speaking on. Council <br />doesn't have a role in making that decision. So, I just wanted to make clear that everyone <br />understood that. <br />I just was curious how and when the people here tonight could have a discussion, an appropriate <br />discussion with the Mayor or the Chief or whoever? <br />Ms. Calta replied, the Mayor and the Chief are always open to having discussions and are available <br />by phone, e-mail, scheduling meetings. <br />
