Various items on the September Richfield Village Board meeting agenda are noteworthy. Reader has to determine which item fits the Good, the Bad, and the Funky.
Many attendees anticipated some rumble from an approaching rain storm. While the rain storm was less than expected there was, what some might describe as, a rumble from Danah Zoulke during the Public Comment item of the meeting.

The agenda is as follows. Comments regarding each item are paraphrased.
4. REPORT a. Scenic Pit LLC. vs. Village of Richfield et. al., Case No. 2015CV000374
Administrator Jim Healy read a prepared statement regarding the outcome of this case heard on September 1, 2015. The outcome of a 17 minute hearing by the honorable Judge Andrew Gonring was a ruling in favor of the Village of Richfield. The ruling confirms that local land use authority remains relevant and the village can use existing zoning laws. Mr. Healy ended by stating the village is ready, willing and able to respond to an appeal by Scenic Pit. LLC.
Danah Zoulek wanted to run a clean fill landfill without any restrictions, permits or licenses. This months legal bills regarding the case total $11,998.
5. PUBLIC COMMENTS Five people registered to speak. Rick Fleishman, Doug Felton, and Roger Kean thanked the village board and staff for supporting the greater good of the community in regard to the pit on Scenic Road.
Then Jeff Gonyo spoke taking exception to the restrictions during public comments and spoke in support of Danah Zoulek. In his normal manor he spoke in an attacking matter to the village board. Nothing new here.
Then Danah spoke in her usual manor demanding she get the 10 minutes to speak as she had requested. After three minutes were up she continued to speak showing posters. When she chose not to stop talking Village President asked the meeting go into recess. She finally sat down and continued to hold up boards during the remainder of the meeting. Sometime she was seen flailing her arms and rocking the posters.
Why should she get more time than anyone else who wants to speak during the Public Comment segment?
