The Camera Doesn’t Lie


Video below: On March 28th, 2011, SEOversight attempted to obtain some answers from city officials.

Question: “There is currently no signed contract between the Coral Company and the City of South Euclid, correct?”  Council President David Miller can be heard responding, “Correct.”  Law Director Michael Lograsso contradicted Dr. Miller but offered very little explanation.

It was reported that the city’s Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) proposal is currently in front of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District.  The Law Director also said the CHUH District had requested an extension until the end of April.  

The city Finance Director confirmed the amount still owed to the taxpayers for the Playground of Possibilities is approximately $90,000.  When asked about the costs for the rubber surface groundcover, Mayor Welo stated that those costs were unknown due to an “angel donor” that arranged for payment through a non-profit organization. 

Questions about privately owned commercial vehicles perpetually parked at city hall resulted in a surprising discovery.  According to Mayor Welo, permits can be purchased that allow commercial vehicles to park in city lots, which apparently includes the city hall parking lot.

    CEDAR CENTER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 




    Video below:  July 14, 2008 - Mayor Georgine Welo explains the purpose of Ordinance 31-08 - $150,000 will be loaned from city funds to pay for items needed "on a timeline" for the Playground of Possibilities.  Mayor Welo states that the loan is intended to purchase among other things, the rubber surface "groundcover" and "ramping."  It is unknown if the ramping being refered to is the wheelchair ramps which were donated to the playground on September 02, 2008 by then County Auditor Frank Russo.  It should be noted that city officials accepted that donation roughly 5 weeks after the FBI raided Cuyahoga County administrative offices in downtown Cleveland.  It was widely known that the main targets of the investigation were Frank Russo and County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora.

    As if that wasn't enough, look at what the school board has done. A collective $18,272 raise for administators and paper pushers.
