RESOLUTION: SETTING FORTH THE CITY OF PAINESVILLE'S COMMITMENT TO ESTABLISH BUFFERING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA LOCATED AT 1450 WEST JACKSON STREET (11-A-016-B-00-22-0) AND 1393 WEST JACKSON STREET 9PPN; 11-A-016-B-00-022-0) IN PAINESVILLE TOWNSHIP, OHIO PETITIONING FOR ANNEXATION TO THE CITY OF PAINESVILLE THROUGH PETITION FOR ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY, FILED SEPTEMBER 13,2013

Now lets cut to the chase,  Osborne properties owns these two parcel ls and filed with the county to be annexed into the city. Now Painesville has 20 days to answer this request that was filed on 09/13/13 it was not on the agenda for the council meeting on 09/16/13 so the need of a special meeting. These properties want to be brought into the city so as to receive sanitary sewers to the property. Now as it was explained the owner of the property would pay for all costs to run the sanitary sewer to the properties. One building is on the property and the ONE employee is presently using a porta-potty. Now council asked some very interesting questions and seemed to be a bit confused. but went ahead and voted yes on the resolutions.

Now three members in the audience wanted to ask questions/comment on the annexation and in the wisdom of our Council-President that they were not allowed to speak on the matter, even after a councilman asked if the visitors could be recognized Mr. Hada's answer was  "not at this time."
After the vote was taken and council was to go into Executive Session a resident (not me) asked why there was no public comment? The answer from Mr. Hada was I didn't know anyone wanted to comment? Now Joe must have ignored the hand's raised in the audience but later stated to the resident  "I" decide at what meeting residents can speak and at what meetings they can't !
What procedure is this? Announce a council meeting send out emails regarding it and not letting residents comment?
Most of the questions from the audience were questions like would the zoning change? If they run the sanitary sewer past township property could they tap in the the line without being annexed into the city? No, your not allowed to ask . It would be nice if we were able to decide what we want or not want from the city?
After the meeting three people asked me what was wrong with the council-president? I believe more and more people realize the "Emperor has no clothes" and his reign is near an end, and going out under conflict is not the way he would choose to go.

Best guess why that property was annexed into the city? Would make a convenient site for another fire station?
