Council Minutes of 9/19/2006 Dennis Lambert, 25057 Cazey Lane, thanked the Finance Director for providing him with the information rgazding the Mayor's trip to Las Vegas. He didn't see anything unreasonable about it, but wondered if personal expense accounts had been used. He was assured by Finance Director Copfer and Mayor O'Grady that no personal city expense accounts were used. The Mayor said he pays for meals out of his own personal home accounts and does not charge the city. Regarding Mrs. Copfer's comments about the regionalized central dispatch in Columbus, he said Columbus occupies all of Franklin County and has been buying up and annexing territories even beyond that county. Is a one-horse town. Regionalization works well there-it has happened naturally-whereas Cleveland is quite diversified from one end to the other.
