'COUNCIL MEETING 10/05/15
In a word nothing!
No legislation, no resolutions nada.
No new Business Councilman Flock explained Levelization
Council Lady DiNallo had nothing presently to add to Sidewalk Replacement.
Brian Belfiore gave a presentation on different public works projects being undertaken in the city.
In the visitors recognition I questioned if council would consider the State Treasurer's program
Ohio Checkbook.com.
A program that would make Painesville's finances more transparent? Well I was met with stares. Let's face it this council really doesn't want the people to easily view the city's finances. There in cahoots' with the administration. Really ever wonder what those fake brick sidewalks cost us?
They were upset when I mentioned a few months back about the kickback, payola what ever it was from Waste Management of $96,000. What did they ever do about that? Nothing! Thank-You citizens for a non voted on tax.
Now that I think about it what proposed legislation has a 'council person' brought to the table recently?
Presently the only ones I can think of was to change the ordinance that Pit Bulls must no longer be muzzled.
A letter written to God knows who with regards to doing something about the immigration problem is this country?
Who proposed the Stormwater fixes? I believe that was the administration as well as the county. NO councilperson proposed it, they voted on it that's all I can see.
The way our city budget is without a line item you will never know exactly what something costs us or compare it to other municipality's. What does say Mentor pay for a patrol car compared to Painesville wonder why they don't go through the state agency like we do? Currently the way things are done sucks.
Who benefited the most last night? Councilman Fitzgerald he didn't attend . I don't believe anyone excuse him but who can tell, the sound system junk.
And finally our new Parks & Recreation Director was in the audience, yet neither the Council-President nor City Manager introduced us to her?
Welcome to the jungle Michelle, I wish you the best.
Alabama, like many states recently made voting harder by requiring voters to present an ID at the polls. But then, they went a step further, by closing 31 driver's license offices throughout the state.
COINCIDENCE?
Every single county where African Americans constitute 75% or more of registered voters had its office closed.
EVERY, SINGLE ONE.

With only six members of Council in attendance, it is a good thing that there was nothing to do.
TERM, please refresh my memory. What was the $96k from waste Management called?
Well best I can tell it was for extending the contract for the fourth and fifth year. Also that the city would send liens to the county to recover unpaid refuse bills.
Interesting now the county wants no part of this.
The way the charter makes the contract out is that the council later the administration must secure the best contract for residents, I guess no mention about what was best for the city coffers?
And come this June chances are all of us should prepare ourselves for another screwing. Thanks council.
No one on council should be re-elected on the principal they don't do NOTHING about this situation!
I will bet Painesville's next contract will be the highest in the county. All because of a lazy council.
They have time to hug their opponent before a council meeting but no time for you? Nice touch Mike but hardly sincere.
Would you still make this statement
"No one on council should be re-elected on the principal they don't do NOTHING about this situation!"
If Andrew Flock was running for reelection?
I think one of the worst things about the contract with Waste Management is all the many rules to make sure that each property is paying them no matter if someone lives/works there, or not. I think someone even has to notify them if you are on vacation, etc. If you read the rules, it's unbelievable. This ridiculous gouging of the citizens needs to stop, and for one thing, if a property is not getting service, then just leave them the heck alone. This is insanity.
1:45 100% correct, but they do nothing.
12:07 If he was running YES, this man has run the gauntlet for over 20 years. The has seen this council from angles we will never know. He is serving with people that he has to wonder who are they serving? No Andy's seen enough and is counting down the council meetings when he no longer gets an upset stomach every first and third Monday of the month. Andy's will be missed by most he's in the Final Countdown. He won't miss the pettiness.
Just seen the billboard by Mr. Chicken. Mike must finally realize he's in a race.
