Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, April 21, 2025 <br />Page 7 <br />is a graduate of Lake Erie College and I we are looking forward to working with Logan and hoping <br />her much success in her long tenure here at Mayfield Village. <br />Our Service Department continues to do a fantastic job in keeping Mayfield Village in tip-top <br />condition. Just having come off of a busy plowing season, the Service Department is now getting <br />outdoors and getting them in shape for the Spring and Summer activities. <br />Parks & Recreation continues to operate successfully and with panache. Our Recreation Director <br />Shane McAvinew and Assistant Recreation Director Danielle Echt are doing an amazing job with <br />special events and programming, along with our newest Recreation employee, Samantha Clark - <br />Cartwright who has settled into her job as our Senior Program Coordinator. <br />At the Building Department, work continues at the Montebello subdivision on Highland Road with <br />21 homes already occupied there and three new homes built there last year. This year, the <br />subdivision is building their third St. Jude's Dream Home. Overall, last year saw a decrease in <br />home construction which we believe can be attributed to interest rates climbing. On the <br />commercial side, we saw a modest increase in permits issued for major improvements. That was <br />mostly due to renovations at Progressive Headquarters at Campus 2 where everything's been <br />consolidated. <br />I often receive compliments, not only on the programs and services that we provide, but also on <br />the professionalism and the courtesy of the people who provide them. That is a testament to our <br />members of Council, the Administration and to all of our workforce team And because of our team <br />efforts, despite the financial challenges we've faced coming out of the pandemic, Mayfield Village <br />remains in a strong position to continue delivering top-notch services to our residents and our <br />businesses. <br />Thank you. <br />Resolution of Appreciation for Paul Jablonski <br />Mayor Bodnar stated, now we are going to bid farewell to our retiring Police Lieutenant Paul <br />Jablonski who has the biggest smile in the room. After that, we are going to swear in our newest <br />patrol officer, Davor Karac. Chief Matias, I believe you have a few words to share for Mr. <br />Jablonski. <br />Chief Matias stated, again, we just all want to congratulate Lieutenant Jablonski after 29 and a half <br />years of service to Mayfield Village. He will be retiring this Friday. He has a couple more days <br />to go. During his almost 30 years, he served in just about every capacity as Patrol Officer, <br />Sergeant, Patrol Sergeant, in the Detective Bureau for a while, and then the past 14 years he has <br />been our Lieutenant. One of the key things I would like to point out and I said this from the <br />beginning, all of our big events here in Mayfield Village are always high profile between Cruise <br />Night and Fireworks, all the Grove events. One thing I learned quickly after I became Chief is I <br />don't have anything to do with that. That's all Lieutenant. Over the past 14 years, all of these <br />great events we have had, he has organized them, put everything together, and made sure we are <br />
