The Roll on this was the following: Ayes: Miller, Caupp, Louderback, Mills, Felton, and Propes Nays: None motion carried. Items for the Law Director: Mr. Lewis thanked Mayor Pennewitt and President Propes for their service as Elected Officials. It is a tremendous commitment of their time and resources. Their compensation is laughable and almost insulting. The compensation should either be zero or something that is respectable. Councilwoman Felton said it beats $150. Mr. Lewis said he knows the time they both invested was considerable. They both will be missed and he certainly hhas enjoyed working with them. President Propes said it has been an honor and pleasure to work with Mr. Lewis, He appreciated everything Mr. Lewis has done for him and thanked him for his service. READING OF COMMUNICATIONS AND DISCUSSION: Councilman Louderback noted the City of Xenia. He asked how the public could have access to the results and if they were available on the city’s website. Mr. Bazelak thought the results were available on the website. Councilman Louderback thought it would be expensive to print the lengthy report, but he wondered how people that do not have a computer could have access to the report. He will discuss the detailed survey in the future, Mr. Percival thought they could print summaries of the results or that copies could be shared with citizens who call requesting one. Vice President Miller suggested the full survey or summaries be made available at the Greene County Library. Mr. Percival said that could be done. Councilman Louderback said it has been a pleasure working with President Propes and Mayor Pennewitt and he wished them both the best of luck in the future. He also wished everyone a “Happy New Year.” Councilman Caupp wished Councilman Louderback a belated “Happy Birthday” since his birthday was last Friday. He thanked President Propes for his service to the City. As Mr. Lewis stated, the compensation paid to members of Council is laughable; they obviously do not do it for the money. He also thanked Mayor Pennewitt for her years of service as a Councilwoman and Mayor for the City. He met Mayor Pennewitt in 1999 when he first ran for Council. He wished her the best in her “real” retirement, He also wished “Happy Birthday” to his sister who tumed 42 today, Councilwoman Mills wished President Propes and Mayor Pennewitt the best and hopes they appreciate the extra time they will have with their families, She will be looking forward to serving with Mayor-Elect Bayless and Council-Elect Smith. She and President Propes ran for office together the first time. They were both nervous at their first “Meet the Candidates Night” because they did not know which questions they would be asked. While President Propes was sitting behind her, he tapped her on the shoulder and asked if she was as nervous as he was. That question broke the ice. From that time on she knew President Propes was the kind of guy she would like to work with on Council, He cares and sees things from a personal perspective and not for the glory of it all. It has been a real honor working with President Propes. Vice President Miller wished everyone a “Happy New Year.” Council made it through one more year; it was not easy and sometimes it was not fun. Mayor Pennewitt, Councilwoman Felton,
