Stormwater Management

Dear Residents,

Although this is our winter newsletter, I thought I would take time to write about the Village Park.  The park is located off Solon Road with an entrance near the Solon Road Bridge.

Councilperson Wendy Gillund who has been chairperson of the Parks Committee will be assuming new duties as chairperson of the Utilities Committee in 2012.  Wendy has done an excellent job coordinating several Village- sponsored events at the park during her time as chairperson.

I encourage village residents to visit the Village Park and take advantage of this resource in our own community.  We have our own slice of the Metro Parks right here in Bentleyville.

The park is available for picnics, outings, parties, family reunions, class reunions, children’s parties, hiking and just plain relaxing near the river.  There are picnic tables, grills and a covered pavilion.

Not only do I encourage you to use the park, but I welcome your ideas on other possible uses or village- sponsored events for this facility.  Feel free to email me at lspremulli@villageofbentleyville.com or email our new parks committee chairperson, Christine Comstock at ccomstock@villageofbentleyville.com.

Finally, we are always looking for residents to serve on the parks committee. If you are interested please contact Christine or me.

Prior to our January Council Meeting, Bedford Municipal Court Judge Harry Jacob, III swore in Councilpersons Kathleen Hale and Jonathan Slain.  Congratulations to them both.

Also, Judge Jacob swore me in to begin my second four year term.  It has been my sincere pleasure and an honor to serve as your Mayor, and I look forward to the next four years.
 

Very Truly Yours,

Leonard A. Spremulli, Mayor
