Council Minutes of 1/7/Z003 <br />Sandy Weir, 26869 Sweetbrier <br />^ She is the school guard at Sweetbrier and Canterbury and is concerned about the <br />speed limit for children and herself. Cars are going 35, 45 mph and are not paying <br />attention to her or the children. This just made it more dangerous. The area where <br />she stands is similar to a driveway apron with no curb. It is dangerous for her and the <br />children. There isn't even a curb to slow a car down. This is a safety issue and she is <br />very concerned and unhappy about it. <br />Charles Dial, 27959 Gardenia Drive <br />^ People working on the recall campaign feel strongly it is not a Democratic or <br />Republican issue, but an issue of what is best for the city. No responsible partisan <br />would want his party represented by a person who is a political liability. Nor does a <br />wise partisan gloat over the other party's misfortunes because he knows his own <br />number will come up soon enough. He is supporting the mayoral recall campaign <br />with great sadness because no one should take pleasure in recalling a person who has <br />many talents and accomplishments. Earlier this evening, Dennis Lambert spoke <br />about what appears to be almost a courlxoom like paradigm for proceedings. It is an <br />inappropriate paradigm. He is very disappointed that the city is being operated by <br />continuous continuances. The recall petitions will not remove the mayor from office. <br />It is only a request that an election be held to decide if he remains. He wants to make <br />it clear that he does not support all of the ten reasons, as currently written, to recall. <br />Some of the reasons are just strong opinions while others involve unresolved ethical <br />and money issues that are still under investigation. No matter how bad the stench <br />might be, this is still America where all are innocent until proven guilty. He noted the <br />amount of rancor and ill will currently surrounding the Service Director is a big <br />problem. He asked everyone to support the recall campaign by signing and <br />encouraging friends to sign also. <br />Marvin Stotz, 6b57 Bretton Ridge Drive <br />^ Read 10 reasons to recall Norman T. Musial <br />1. Inappropriate delegation of authority. Many individuals involved in the activities of <br />the city allege that Service Director Creadon seems to have been given almost full <br />authority to run the city. She was a former secretary and paralegal in Mr. Musial's <br />law firm. Ms. Creadon does not appear to have the qualifications, background or <br />training to be Service Director. Moreover, her management style seems to be one of <br />intimidating, humiliating and publicly belittling city employees. <br />2. Integrity. Many Police, Fire and Service Dept. personnel feel they have been <br />repeatedly and intentionally misled about past, current and upcoming policy and <br />personnel changes. <br />3. Firing and not replacing qualified city directors seems to be a continual pattern that <br />has left many city workers without effective leadership. Rec Center needs major and <br />minor repairs and upkeep but has not had a commissioner for months. <br />4. Complaints, ethics commissions meetings and investigations into falsification charges <br />suggest the Mayor has ethical and moral challenges that do not allow him to be an <br />effective administrator of the City of North Olmsted. <br />16 <br /> <br />
