<br />Council Minutes 10-21-2008
<br />would like it known in the public that I did speak with a representative from the Mayor's
<br />office about a month, perhaps five weeks ago, and indicate that I would vote in favor of
<br />2008-121. Recent events, the example of Garfield Hts. and some rethinking on my part
<br />caused me to change my position. But I at least want to acknowledge for the benefit of
<br />the Mayor that I did initially indicate support for 2008-121. Thank you."
<br />Ordinance No. 2008-105 introduced by Mayor O'Grady was given its second reading for

<br />creating a second "Employment Specialist" position in the Department, of Human
