close friends and that he is sure Brian appreciates how well the resolution was written.
Mayor Hruby said that the Administration did its very best to have Sarah Benza

Resolution of commendation for her service to the City. Mrs. Benza retired from the
Brecksville Records Commission last year and lives in Florida part of the year. She said
that she served because she wanted to help the community and does not expect praise.
Mrs. Benza has already received her clock. The Resolution of commendation will also be

will retire on March 4, 2016. Mr. Swasey has served a total of 33 years in the Brecksville

asking the Civil Service Commission to conduct a test for the position of
Firefighter/Paramedic.

recommendations for appointments, possibly at the next City Council meeting so that the
new Patrolmen can be enrolled in the next police academy.
The Mayor said that interviews are also being conducted with candidates on the
Civil Service Commission eligibility list for the position of Police Lieutenant. A
recommendation for the appointment of a Police Lieutenant will be forthcoming to City
Council for the March 1, 2016 meeting.

CITY COUNCIL COMMENTS: Councilmember Mike Harwood recognized and CITY
thanked Tom Tupa, Bob Pliske, Pete Kormos and the Community Center staff for their COUNCIL
efforts on the day of Tony Niccoli's funeral services. He said that Meg English and the COMMENTS
youth organization teams also provided a great deal of support to the Niccoli family which
is a real testament to the programs.
Brian Stucky of the Bees Soccer Academy said that Betty Jo Niccoli was unable to
be present this evening. On the day that her husband Tony passed away, he said that the
number one thing she talked about is how very thankful she is to Mayor Hruby and the
City of Brecksville for naming the turf field at Blossom Hill the "Tony Niccoli Field".
Tony Niccoli dedicated 30 years of his life as a teacher and coach and led the BBHHS
soccer team to four (4) state championships. Brian said that he heard Mayor Hruby did not
get a photograph of the dedication ceremony and presented one to him.
The Niccoli family is also very appreciative that they were able to receive family
and friends at the Brecksville Community Center after the funeral services, as over 400
people were in attendance. Brian said that it especially meant a lot to Mrs. Niccoli because
celebration of the BBHHS soccer team winning the 1993 state championship was the first
big event at the Community Center after it opened. He also thanked Mike Harwood, Tom
Tupa, Bob Pliske, Pete Kormos, Jinny Farr, and Carolyn Jatsek on behalf of the Nicolli
family for going "above and beyond" the day of the funeral.
Mayor Hruby thanked Brian Stucky for the photograph and said that he would
cherish it. He told Brian that he thinks he is selling himself short in all of this because
Brian helped orchestrate everything that has taken place on behalf of Tony Niccoli. He
said that Brian and Tony Niccoli were great friends and that Brian has also been a
wonderful support to the Bees soccer program. The Mayor said that he is sure that the
Niccoli family will never forget Brian's efforts to make everything the best it could be
under sad circumstances.
Council President Skaljac told students in Mr. Brennan's class that a sign-in sheet
has been provided to confirm their attendance this evening and so that their names can be
