Who Buried This Story?

Below is a portion of a police report regarding an incident on May 1st, 2012.  This was not reported anywhere.  It did not appear in The Sun Messenger's police blotter, The Plain Dealer or on any local news channels.

“On Tue. 5-1-12 at 1028 hrs. cars responded to CVS, 4460 Mayfield Rd. , for a report of two b/m’s fighting and a gun being fired.

While enroute we were advised that a red, Ford Mustang type car left e/b on Mayfield Rd. I was s/b S. Green Rd. and Mayfield Rd. Ptl. Camper said that a red Pontiac Grand Am was n/b on Dill Rd.and turned w/b onto Edmond Rd. I headed that way and then was advised that the car just crashed at Edmond R. and S. Green Rd.and that two males were running from the scene.

As I was w/b on Edmond Rd. and passing the FD drive there were two firemen pointing and yelling towards the cell phone tower. Pt. Singerman pulled up and I told him about the firemen. We both pulled into the lot and the firemen said that a b/m went towards the courtyard. We turned the corner in time to see a b/m in a black coat and camouflage shorts climb the tree in the courtyard and get onto the police garage roof. We went through the courtyard, into the SEPD lobby, and out the door into the police parking lot.”

The entire police report is below.  Please note, South Euclid Oversight has redacted the names, addresses and phone numbers of the suspects involved in the incident.

It is unknown why the Service Director’s vehicle has “covert” license plates. That does not appear to be in accordance with Ohio Revised Code.  Please click here to view information about other city-owned vehicles bearing “covert” plates.

Swimming Pools On Last Leg

Below:  Highlights of a discussion regarding the swimming pools.

Council President, David Miller:  “Realistically, how much life is left in that pool?”

Service Director, Jim Anderson:  “At Bexley?”

David Miller:  “Yes.”

Jim Anderson:  “Not much.  The sand filters are rusted, the metal, we needed to replace the sand filters.  We need to replace the pumps, the motors, the boilers, the heaters are old.  I mean there’s a lot of issues with the pool.  The pool’s cracked on the bottom, the decking’s failing" … "We’ve been patching them every year.  Some of the walls, the dividing walls that caved in we had to rebuild the bricks on it.  Over the last couple of years we’ve done it in-house; but they’re old.”  

Finance Director, Joe Filippo:  “My suggestion you get a committee going like right after budgets are over and start having a plan to do something with those pools.  Don’t wait till September, October, November”… “a recreation committee just for a serious look at what we need to do with these pools.”

David Miller:  “So, worst case scenario, come June when kids get out of school, get ready to hit the pools; we have a hot summer.  Worst case scenario is that our pools could die.”

Jim Anderson:  “We’ve had problems the last two years with opening.  I know at Bexley last year the expansion joint, there’s like a big expansion joint; it failed.  So we had to drain the pool, pull it out and replace it.  And we had to have a company come in and re-grind the whole pool because there was so many leaks and it’s concrete you know, it’s kinda failing underneath.”

At-large Councilperson Marty Gelfand:  “It sounds like all this talk is leading to a discussion we need to have about a pool levy.”

Ward 4 Councilperson Jane Goodman:  “We passed the road levy…part of the road levy promise was…”
