REPORT OF THE MAYOR

Mayor Brick read a proclamation honoring David Griffiths, a former Councilman who passed away.

Mayor Brick said Chief Brosius, Mr. Subel, and I attended the Efficient Government Collaboration Conference in Akron on October 13th to be sure we are kept up to date on any possible collaboration projects that could help the Village. I was able to meet with Ed Jerse who is the Collaboration Director of Cuyahoga County to tell him we wanted to collaborate and, in fact, we were looking for grants for a dispatch center. And, I met Paul Alsenas, the Cuyahoga County Planning Director, and he is coming to my office this Thursday to discuss collaboration opportunities. So, I don’t know what those are yet but I will certainly keep you posted.

Mayor Brick said for a variety of reasons we now have openings on three of our commissions; planning and zoning, shade tree, and cemetery board. I am asking for volunteers to fill these spots.
Mayor Brick read a proclamation recognizing the work and wonderful impact that Connie DeGood has had on the Village.

Mayor Brick said I hope you will all enjoy our Halloween trick-or-treating this year, next Monday evening, October 31st from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
