Video below:  On October 26, 2009, the discussion of Ordinance: 50-09 reveals some interesting things:

South Euclid taxpayers have paid approximately $60,000 per year for the past 3 years on the original $1.8 million borrowed for the Greenvale 9. None of that money has gone to the principal.

Mayor Welo callously spoke that the foreclosure crisis didn't yield the opportunity to acquire more real estate: “Everything changed. When this first happened the market was quite different. We had two developers looking at it. However, at the time we weren't sure if we really wanted to turn it into housing. A lot of the residents liked the openness of it.

The photographs below were taken in November 2009.  In these pictures, a different city vehicle is shown emptying its contents onto the ground near a storm drain located in the yard of the Service Department garage located on Monticello Boulevard.

According to SEOversight sources, all city vehicles which engage in sewer and catch basin cleaning are discharged into the storm drain in the same manner, despite the contents of the truck.  This area is also used as a parking location for equipment and dumpsters.  The dispersal of the truck contents into the drain causes the entire paved surface and surrounding area of the service yard to be enveloped in the wastewater from the vehicle.  When the flooding recedes, the solid material is left to dry.  It is reported that the source of the wastewater varies, but the contents at one time or another meet one’s expectations of such a vehicle’s cargo, including raw sewage, catch basin debris and “grease from the restaurants on Mayfield Road.”  Once any remaining material has become coagulated by the outdoor elements, it is then shoveled by hand into the on-site dumpsters.

The City of South Euclid is still utilizing this procedure to date.
