"COUNCIL MEETING 10/21/13"
Pretty uneventful.
Started out with councilman Flock wanting the minutes of the meeting to reflect more than a paragraph on his presentation of Prairie State. Clerk of Council even asked for notes and figures for the minutes of the meeting. Council -President claimed that minutes only reflect what transpired at council meeting. Councilman Flock claimed the minutes are a history of what transpired at a council meeting and he wanted the numbers and facts to show this. Council-President Hada stated that his response to councilman's Flock was one a short paragraph also.
It has been my understanding that Council-President Hada has a point. I also believe a person giving a comment or presentation has the right to ask that their full statement makes it into the minutes. Council agreed to add councilman Flocks presentation as well as Council-President Hada's rebuttal into the minutes of the meeting.
Seems asking for the Attorney General looking into a contract is redundant but a solution to stop Asian Carp isn't?
As far as the Resolution concerning an investigation of Prairie State was left on first reading. It seems at least city officials and maybe four council members will be attending the AMP-OHIO meeting next Monday in Columbus that deals with Prairie State. Councilman Fodor is trying to get someone from AMP-OHIO to the second council meeting in November.
On a presentation concerning Recreation/Public Lands. It appears were back at Millstone again. Now the residents have been paid, the condos as well as other building have been torn down and it back to it's natural state? No we must remove anything that wasn't there before the condos. Roads pipes walls. We have another grant to do this for a little over $931,000 to bring it back to nature. What we will have in this 'Park' when completed is a half mile trail and a place to park some vehicles? A sigh posting on how this all came about? I thought it was in a flood plain why spend $931,000 here.
Hey it's your money.
Speaking of money the city 'found' another grant to be used for Main Street streetscape this projected is slated to now start in March 2014.

Has anyone heard about structural problems at the Lake County Jail?

Odd, When JaHada claimed your numbers were wrong. They were included in the minutes? Flock came up with the same numbers you did and they weren't recorded? I think we all know why. He doesn't like to be found wrong.
I've heard of several issues at the jail from various county employees and public officials. There are no floor drains, and the inmates constantly jam things down toilets and drains causing some major flooding and forced relocation of inmates. There are plenty of other issues, and I think they are going to need to build a new one.
Of course, where will the money come from? Between the State and County, the sales tax has increased 0.50% in past few years. I wonder why Geauga County is able to build a jail under budget that actually makes money from other counties, and we build one that is basically obsolete after 25 years. Maybe it is time to look at our Sheriff who has been in office WAY, WAY TOO LONG!
4:29 I believe that jail was built in 1989? Needs to be replaced already?
I really don't see them replacing the jail, sounds like rumors running wild. Besides we also have the former minimum security facility out by bacon road that I do not believe is currently being used.
There has been no talk of replacing the jail. Except here on this blog.
12:05 I've been told to stay tuned?
Bet your friends at city hall aren't to happy with you today? That was quite an editorial in todays News-Herald. My wife asked me if this was all true? I had to confess yes it is.
Checked the Painesville GOV website and looks like the most recent meeting is not there.
The video that is there is the previous meeting from October 7th.
Just viewed this at 10:45 this evening.
Any ideas???
7:51 It's called selective viewing. Someone doesn't maybe want that whole council meeting aired? Who could that be?
Same with the July meeting what a farce that meeting was?
Look it appears to more people than myself the city has an obligation to make these meetings not only to be viewed but also to be heard.
I guess it comes down to everything else in town. You only need to know what we believe you need to know? Most residents of other communities would never put up with this, but we do.
Hey, it's snowing planters all over town still there as well as the ones on Main St. bridge? When was that project planned to be complete. Soon we will be asked to pay for a fire truck that was left out and rusted. Gota love Painesville.
It now time for our new city manager to get his department heads in order.
Off the subject anyone know who the people are that are moving equipment into the old Coe Mfg. building? It's the building on the northeast part of the property?
They are going to build a new jail, and it will be on the north side of Erie St. they have had many things go wrong with the new Jail and it has to be replaced, there is no way around it.
Wait until the story about LEC is made public? Seems they have financial issues.
7:51 The council meeting can now be viewed at the city's website. As far as for TV viewing it must be a lost cause? I would like to see someone held responsible for this. Another Conspiracy? Just let the people watch the council meeting. Is that asking that much?
I've lived here for over 20 years now, and it is my opinion that they have always manipulated what people can see of the council meetings on TV. Any time there is a contentious issue or meeting, there will be difficulties with all of the transmission to the masses, or just the parts that they do not want people to hear.
After all of these years of filming the meetings and putting them on air, we should be able to do a better job of filming them in general, even when they are NOT manipulating what we see. And we do need to figure out now how to make this city accountable for assuring that the citizens can clearly hear and see every moment of every meeting with no more purposeful funny business. If it can't be done in the current location, then let them move the location ASAP to make sure that this ridiculousness is stopped quickly and forever. If you watch the meetings over all the past years, you can see just how purposeful it is. They love to manipulate things, and I agree that it is time it is ended. I think a review of the whole procedure of filming is in order, and I would like them to explain just who has been at the head of the films getting distorted (or worse) when they feel it is to their benefit.
