17 <br />MINUTES OF TBE REGULAR MEETING OF COUNCIL <br />Mayfield Village <br />February 17, 1992 <br />The Council of Mayfield Village met in Regular Session on Monday, February 17, 1992, at <br />eight o'clock p.m. (8 p.m.) in the Council Chambers at the Village Ha11. Council President <br />Bruce Rinker presided. <br />ROLL CALL: Present: Mr. Basile, Mr. Busa, Mrs. Cinco, Mr. Fixler, Mr. Flynn, <br />and Mr. Rinker <br />Absent: Mr. Ferrante <br />Also Present Were: Mayor Pietrafese, Mr. Amendola, Mr. Diemert, <br />Mr. Hovancsek, Lt. 7ay, Chief Mohr, Chief Stevens, <br />and Miss Heath. <br />The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was given. <br />OPEN PORTION <br />Andrew Hudacko - said he is a home owner and a resident of Mayf'ield Village. He wants <br />to address Council as a Whole with concerns about the Debbie Hudacko Memorial <br />Scholarship Race and Run to be held July 19, 1992. Mr. Hudacko said his wife and <br />himself have been informed by representatives of the Recreation Committee that as far as <br />monies collected from the race, the format would be changed. Of the monies collected, <br />only $1,000 would be set aside for two $500 scholarships. The other monies collected <br />would be going towards Mayfield Village. Mr. Hudacko said when he talked to the <br />Recrearion Director, he was told one of the projects they were looking into was the <br />purchase of playground equipment for Wiley Pazk for $21,000. He said they already have <br />$4,000 in the fund that was not used for scholarships. They had over 400 runners last <br />year. His families' concern is if we open this fund up, that in all honesty we can't tell <br />people as we have in the past, that monies would be going strictly for a scholarship. He <br />thinks that is what it was intended to do and thinks it would be an infringement on what the <br />original idea of this project was all about. Mr. Hudacko said he has communicated his <br />families' concern of this change in writing to the Mayor, President or Council, and the head <br />of the Recreation Committee. They feel this would not be honest with the people who have <br />supported it. His families' position is if it will be expanded for things other than <br />scholarships, they can no longer lend the name of Debbie Hudacko to this project. He said <br />if they are going to continue to do it at this point he wishes them well, however, if they are <br />going to change it, they do not want to be a part of it. <br />Mr. Rinker asked if the inirial intent was simply to have a scholarship fund. <br />Mr. Hudacko said the family was approached with the idea that this race would be used to <br />generate funds to fund this scholarship fund and that was what the money was to be used <br />for. <br />Mr. Rinker asked if there was a misinterpretation regarding how large the scholarship fund <br />should be. ?
