"COUNCIL MEETING 06/20/16

Before I get into the agenda of this Monday's council meeting.

Our City Manager Anthony Carson invited me to a public meeting the  Ohio State Treasurer's office was having Friday  at city hall putting the City of Painesville online in Ohio Checkbook. Yes you can now go online and see Painesville's expenditures.  Everything is there a check to Office Depot for $4.87 to a $400,000 Insurance expenditures. Mr. Carson, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Unetic as well as their staffs worked diligently to make this a success. As of now 2015 is online. With more to come. If your having problems feel free to contact the Finance Department. As of now only Mentor-on-the-Lake and Painesville are currently the communities presently on line. With Eastlake, Willoughby, Willoughby Hills joining shortly.
Riverside School District, Mentor Schools are also online. Along with Perry Public Library.  By the end of the year the Treasurer expects 25% participation from all entities.
Just a reminder Painesville in 2015 had a budget of over $66,000,000 and issued 29,000 checks.
Only one council person attended  the presentation Ward I Christine Shoop.

See You In July!


I expect Cleveland in July to be one to remember forever! Especially if this Dump Trump Movement gets legs.

I myself with his polling  going down, a need to spend his own money as well as his  "what's in it for me attitude" he might self-implode before  the convention?
