"BACK IN THE U.S.S.R" beatles

 
Man I had a dreadful flight (night)
I'm back in the U.S.S.R.

You know you have to be a masochist to sit through some of these council meetings?
That was the case Monday night.

Legislation;
The ordinance to increase funding to the DPO was left on second reading. Must decide at July meeting.

Resolutions both passed Phase II  includes State St. paving from Chester to Elm St. Levan St. and a few others.
As well as bathrooms down in Recreation Park.

Myself and another lady question 'new' cemetery procedures. We were told they are not new just being enforced due to a new director as well as they are not new just being enforced.
Later Parks and Recreation Director Michelle LaPuma explained in her presentation that items like solar lights would add to vandalism in our cemeteries? Also Rosary beads could damage or  could injure  equipment or employee's.   Also the lady that questioned in a phone call to the department to not only the removal of her angel but she found it broken at the cemetery garage. She was told that the cemeteries were beginning to take on a "Carnival Atmosphere?" and these changes were needed. My suggestion if you have anything questionable go out and collect it before the city sends an electric plant worker with nothing to do to remove it.

The Housing Task Force see no changes needed. for the Vacant Property Ordinance. BUT.....suggests the city use their meter reader's to identify and report possible vacant property. The city will check utility usage and if they find it low. Will send the property owner a postcard asking for an explanation?  So I guess they might want to know if your "shacking" up with a boyfriend or girlfriend? Only paying bills, taxes cutting grass as well as just doing your wash a home because she or he won't do it? Talk about over reach!
Wonder if those same meter readers will report excessive utility use? High electric, water say four or more families living in a structure? five cars parked on the lawn or other out of the ordinary items?
Wonder if Aqua Ohio or First Energy provides this service to Mentor or Willoughby. Remember these city utilities are to act as separate entities?

Sidewalks God help us! Over 30 minutes on sidewalks it was unbelievable. First off to sell your home in starting in 2017 your sidewalk must pass city mustard. Then in 2019 we are bringing back a blast from the Past! Agent Orange to X-O sidewalks in all wards. I suggest to be politically correct he will be marking in green. Green Meany. Another job for a electric plant worker who has free time on their hands? Council suggested the cost of a new cement sidewalk block would cost $150.00? Have any of you ever called for a cement truck?

This council brings new meaning to the term "Nero fiddled while Rome burned"

Speak of burning, as promised home sale prices in the PCLS district;

Elm St.            $31,500.
Ridgelawn      $60,000.
W. Jackson     $63,770.
Stockwell         $19,000.
N. St. Clair      $18,000

Now exactly how strong is that loyalty to a Trump  surrogate ?
