PROCLAMATION
St. Thomas Episcopal Church and St. Thomas School
WHEREAS, Medina City Hall underwent an expansion and renovation project between
October, 2010, and July, 2011, displacing City meeting facilities for City Council,
Boards, Commissions, Committees, the Public and City Staff, and
WHEREAS, St. Thomas Episcopal Church and St. Thomas School graciously provided
the City of Medina with meeting room accommodations for approximately 85 general
and public meetings and hearings held between October, 2010, and July, 2011, and
WHEREAS, When meeting rooms at St. Thomas Episcopal Church were unavailable
for City Council meetings on Monday evenings, St. Thomas School allowed the City use
of its Commons Room, furniture and audio/visual equipment, and
WHEREAS, St. Thomas Episcopal Church allowed the City use of its facilities for
meetings including City Council, Park Board, Planning Commission, Hearing Examiner,
Emergency Preparedness Committee, Development Services Department permit intake
meetings, and City Staff meetings and trainings during the day and in the evening, and
WHEREAS, It would have been extremely inefficient for City staff to drive to other
locations to set up and conduct meetings, as well as confusing for the Public to hold
meetings in multiple locations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council, Boards, Commissions,
Committees, and City employees thank the entire Staff of St. Thomas Episcopal Church
and St. Thomas School for their assistance and support in cordially allowing the City of
Medina to schedule and hold meetings in their facilities over the last nine months.
DATED, this Eight Day of August, 2011.
Bret Jordan, Mayor
