Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, May 20, 2024 Page 5 done showed a negative impact to the Village from a property valuation standpoint. Tonight we are faced with the issues of allowing marijuana production and distribution in the Village. There's a big question about the economic benefit. The jury is still out on the economic benefits and the quality of life economics dealing with this issue. Therefore, because of the uncertainty surrounding this, I strongly ask Council to vote in favor of the ordinance banning the retail outlet or production in Mayfield Village. Thank you. Kathryn Baker 826 Hanover Road My husband Benjamin's also here. In the interest of time I will just speak for the both of us since our position is the same. I was definitely spurred to come tonight because I was very concerned there may be some Council people that are not in favor of the ban. Two points, I am an attorney and also work at Progressive Insurance. I would be very disappointed to lessen the integrity of Mayfield Village. My husband and I actually lived in Chardon, Ohio for many many years. For us, Mayfield Village became a destination. We are actually both attorneys. My husband is in real estate. So, I would really be disappointed. I thought the Mayor's e-mail we received was very well thought out and definitely makes a lot of sense. Thank you. Eileen Callahan 6592 SOM Court I too am in favor of opposing this. We live right where the manufacturing facilities could back up onto our property. In no way, shape or form do I want that in my backyard. I don't want the dispensing of it. I don't want the smell of it being manufactured. I don't believe it fits in the culture of our community. I am a new resident. I moved here almost 3 years ago. Council President Schutt asked, any other comments this evening? There were none. Council President Schutt stated, thank you all. Department Head Reports: Diane Wolgamuth (Administration) — Thank you Council President. Reporting for Citizen's Advisory, the Committee met on April 29th. We had a great meeting with Ron Wynne on our financial situation. John Marquart came with an economic development update. The next meeting of the Committee is Tuesday, May 28th. Dan Russell has agreed to attend that meeting to talk about some recent ordinances that have been passed to make sure people are aware of them and to answer any questions members might have about Code enforcement. That's all I have. Thank you. Council President Schutt stated, thank you, Ms. Wolgamuth.
