The only upstanding decision City Council can make at this point is to postpone the levy request until August or November. Bringing this decision to the public a mere ten days before the Board of Elections deadline is inexcusable. To rubber-stamp Resolution: 03-10 at this point would enable Mayor Welo to game the system of checks and balances which are in place for situations just as these.

Below is an exact copy of the home page from the City of South Euclid website as it appeared on Friday afternoon, February 12th. Four days after the hasty decision to actually have a public meeting, even though the meeting is at a time of day guaranteed to yield as little public participation as possible – “Fencepiration” is deemed more important than a pending tax increase. Ward 2 Councilman Moe Romeo determined his February 15th ward meeting required notifying his constituents through the use of the reverse 911 system. So far reverse 911 has not been utilized to announce the road levy meeting. To date there has been no message regarding this public meeting on the electronic sign in front of city hall.

Dear taxpayers,
Please stop paying attention. Just pay the bill that comes.
Sincerely,
The City of South Euclid.
Have a look at this case (inadequate notice of a public meeting is a sunshine law violation) :
State ex rel. Cincinnati Post v. Cincinnati (1996), 76 Ohio St.3d 540
