"RIDERS ON THE STORM" doors
Maybe writer of the storm?
I will share with you a letter I received on October 2, 2006 this letter was sent to me in response to a letter as well as an opinion stated at a Council Meeting. Wanting future construction of any kind be stopped for the City to assess information on the flooding that took place in July of that year.
Please you residents in Liberty Greens and Heisley Park pay close attention to the third paragraph. Along with the word 'new' in that paragraph.
October 2, 2006
Mr. Angelo Cimaglio
477 Owego Street
Painesville, OH 44077
Dear Mr. Cimaglio:
You recently requested that the City Council enact a moratorium on new construction until resolution of the City's storm/sanitary sewer system issues are achieved. I oppose such a moratorium.
Although rehabilitation of the City's sewer system is a priority, I believe that stopping all future City development until the sewer issues are resolved would be counterproductive to the City's best interests.
During the past few years, the City has experienced unprecedented growth. New residential construction, including residential construction on land recently annexed to the City, has helped the City expand its tax base and reinforced its image as a growing community. Further note that the new construction within the City suffered no water damage during the recent storms. This fact confirms that new City policies concerning the design and construction of sewer systems will work to eliminate current and future problems.
Since continued development and reconfiguration of the current sewer systems are not mutually exclusive, the City should simultaneously move forward on both fronts. I will oppose any legislation to the contrary.
Very truly yours,
William Horvath, President
Painesville City Council
WH/gak
c: City Manager
City Council
Well some of you in Liberty Greens as well as Heisley Park it give me no satisfaction to tell you 'Your one of us now' Hopefully this for many of you is a one time event, lets hope so. At the same time the City Administration seems to have had its own agenda? When will that tax base materialize? Who helped Mr. Horvath compose this letter?We can only hope that with a new City Manager, as well as new residents on council this letter will only be a memory. City's best interest, or your's and mine whom are they looking out for?

Took me a second reading to realize that this was 7 years old.
Wonder what he might think today?
Isn't it great when a plan comes together?
BTW, as long as the City Engineer heads west at the end of the work day, what does he care?
7:34 And what's been done? What happened to the 'NEW' neighborhoods?
Empty promises, or empty results you decide.
7 years and pretty much things have become worse.
HOW does council get by NOT having a plan, for the roads and sewers? I cannot believe them, my my my.
12:51 The plan is to get you to pony up some more cash. Look Its to the point you can't believe anything.
I see a Willowick resident filed a class action lawsuit against the city over the flooding there. Can we do the same thing? Your letter would prove to a court that Painesville has been negligent as that city was.
10:10 I guess we could. But first who would we sue? Ourselves? Don't expect any council person or city administrator be held accoutable?
No doubt the city has been negligent, but as voters we kept electing them. So we ended up with the same administration. One thing the new city manager should do is reevaluate his department heads. Off hand I know of atleast three that should be shown the door.
In the Willowick case the winners will be the lawyers, watch and see.
