Employee Recognition Award for Michaela Voegelin
Mayor Yoder presented an award to Ms. Voegelin for her years of service to the Town of
Avon Public Works department.
Citizen Input:
Ms. Chris Ekrem, resident of Eaglebend Drive, approached the Council. Her concern is
that her property taxes keep increasing, but her quality of life does not. She feels that
with the Village at Avon development that quality will not improve. She feels that if the
town does decide to put a cul-de-sac at the end of Eaglebend Drive, the residents should
not be charged to do this.
She also questioned why the police department is allowed to park on Eaglebend Drive
without getting ticketed, but all other residents do get ticketed. Staff will look into this.
Citizen Input:
Ms. Amy Phillips, resident of Eaglebend Drive, approached the Council to discuss the
McGrady Acres annexation. Town Manager Elting stated that Ms. Phillips should attend

premature to do this to the Town Council. Mr. Elting provided her with a schedule of the
annexation procedures and hearings.
