After further review of the previous SEO post, Stanhope Road Infrastructure Project, it became necessary to take a second look at some of the details surrounding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application as submitted by the City of South Euclid.
The application below is a request from the City of South Euclid for $100,000.00 from Cuyahoga County in competitive municipal grant funding. The CDBG application requires specific information from the applicant as shown in the following documents:
“Date of Newspaper Advertisement” - “Public Notice: June 19, 2009.” - Simple research confirmed the Sun Messenger publish date for that week was June 18, not June 19. The June 18, 2009 Sun Messenger did not contain a public notice regarding CDBG funds. The City of South Euclid did not place an advertisement in the Plain Dealer "legal notices" on June 19, 2009.
“Public Hearing Date”- "June 22, 2009.” - There was a "Public Hearing" held on June 22, 2009, but NOT concerning CDBG funding. The "Public Hearing" held that date was for Ordinance: 08-09, an unrelated matter.

The "Public Hearing" held on June 22, 2009 was NOT about CDBG funds, Stanhope Road or anything related to Cedar Center.
The notice shown below was posted on the City website.

Well either those South Euclid City Officials lie or they are mentally in-comp-o-tent.
Is there not a map via the internet showing where the unrelated Ordinance 08-09 is/was to take effect? What a lame website! Again, residents are either on a need to know basis or the truth is being shrouded.
It's a lot of both in both cases.
The plot sickens, ehh!
