MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL Mayfield Village June 15, 1998 The Council of Mayfield Village met in regular session on Monday, June 15, 1998, at 8:00 p.m. in the Mayfield Village Senior Center/Community Room. Council President Mark Fixler presided.

OPEN PORTION Mar~Peto, 927 Beech Hill and Laura Lynch, 934 Beech Hill, said they supported the proposed sidewalk/bike path east on Wilson Mills between Beech Hill and Hanover, on the south side, for the safety of many people, both young and old. They feel that as it stands, that stretch of road is dangerous to bicyclists and walkers alike. They feel the south side of the road is very uneven and hard to navigate. They along with many of their neighbors support the sidewalk and urge Council to do the same. They believe it would be an asset to Mayfield Village. Jim Philips, 856 Hardwood Court, said he echoed the comments of the first two ladies and supported the sidewalk/bike path on Wilson Mills east to the Gates Mills line. He feels it is a safety issue and a current problem. He would encourage Council to seriously consider putting the sidewalk in on that section of the road and would get petitions signed if necessary. Ed Hoeningman, 6820 Wilson Mills Road, said he lives right next to the bio filter and stated the grass needs to be cut on a regular basis, there are dead trees and shrubs that need to be replaced and said there are odors coming from that site. He said that prior to the grass being cut, both times he had to complain to the Mayor's Office before anything was done. Craig Neyman, 6858 Wilson Mills Road, said he and his family are very much in favor of the sidewalk. He has witnessed many people, including children walking in the street and witnessed roller bladers on Wilson Mills, and it is a hazard. His house is directly affected by the proposed sidewalk and due to safety issues, he supports this issue and urges Council to do the same. He understands that if they have to move a fence or cut down some branches or trees, that is a small sacrifice to afford the safety for the children and adults. CONSIDERATION OF NIINUTES
