Councilmembers
Councilman Rodney Minter
Rodney Minter, age 46, Married, wife Pamela, one son Jarred, employed 23 years with Cinergy in Customer Billing and Collection.
I was born in Lincoln Heights to Oscar and Elsie Minter. I was raised in Woodlawn, attending Riddle Road, Old South Woodlawn Elementary, and Princeton junior High. I later graduated from Mount Healthy Senior High in 1972. After graduation, I went to work and received Technical Training to help in my job along the way. In 1987, married my wife Pamela and moved back to the Village of Woodlawn. Shortly thereafter, I became active and served on the Recreation Commission for 3 years as a Member and Chairperson. After having gained such valuable experience, I wanted to make a much greater impact within the Village. In 1995 I ran and was elected for Village Council in precinct A and was subsequently reelected in November 1999.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the supporters of change in the village for your vote.
