Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, August 19, 2024 <br />Page 4 <br />- Swearing -in Ceremony of Firefighter/Paramedic Makyle Grant <br />Mayor Bodnar administered the oath to Firefighter/Paramedic Makyle Grant. Following that, his <br />Mom pinned him. <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, congratulations. I would also like to thank the Fire Department for the work <br />you do every day, in particular the work you did during and after the big storm that we had two <br />weeks ago. <br />- Swearing -in Ceremony of Service Director Frank Stupczy <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, I have the honor of swearing in Mr. Frank Stupczy as our Service <br />Department Director. Frank has been with our Service Department by my calculations for almost <br />20 years. He has served in different roles as our Municipal Forester and Certified Arborist. He is <br />also a Certified Pool and Spa operator. Frank has a Bachelor's Degree from Cleveland State <br />University and a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Kent State University. He has <br />been a crew leader, Assistant Director and Acting Director here in Mayfield Village. <br />One of the greatest things is Frank has been really excellent in writing grants for the past several <br />years. Last year Frank wrote for and received a grant for the purchase of two new leaf vacuum <br />trailers. This year Frank wrote for, and to our surprise because we didn't think we were really in <br />the running, Frank obtained from the State of Ohio a $75,000.00 grant which will pay for three <br />quarters of the cost of our salt shed. We appreciate that. <br />Again, to all of the members here on the Service Department, thank you for your support. So many <br />people, most of whom I didn't know, came up to me since the storm we had and just didn't sing <br />your praises loud enough. When you ask Frank or Gino or Chief Matias, they will say, that's just <br />part of our job. Yes, it is, but you went above and beyond. You did things for people that they <br />really appreciated in a time of need. Thank you all for doing that. <br />Mayor Bodnar administered the oath to Service Director Frank Stupczy. <br />Mayor Bodnar asked, Council President, is it okay if we take a break so we can take some quick <br />photos of these two gentlemen and their teams here? <br />Council President Schutt stated, absolutely. <br />Council took a break at 7:15 p.m. <br />Council reconvened at 7:20 p.m. <br />
