2003-2009 SALARY ORDINANCES.


Below: Ordinance 12-07:
An ordinance fixing the salary of the mayor... 

Video below: June 28, 2010 - Mayor Georgine Welo states that in lieu of reducing her salary mid-term, which is not permitted by law, “…I’m using furlough days, I’ve written checks for different bills and things like that…”

A new Mayoral term began January 1, 2012. Where was the legislation to lower the Mayor’s salary?  Apparently Mayor Welo’s statement about wanting to lower her salary was disingenuous.  (video below)

Where is a current Salary Ordinance reflecting Administrative pay reductions? The last Salary Ordinance was passed in 2009. Why is that?

Video below: Do not miss this video. Amazing and true, the citizens of South Euclid allowed these outrageous salaries to continue when few wanted to get involved.
