May 16, 2021 <br />Chuck, please present the following comments to the administration <br />and council, to be read into the record at the meeting of council on <br />May 18, 2021. Thank You. <br />To Council and the Administration: <br />I saw that Elise Cassidy passed away this last week. She <br />was the wife of Parma Hts. Mayor, Paul Cassidy. Paul, <br />(Mayor) Joseph Gaul, and (Law Director) Tom O'Malley were <br />good friends and the City of Fairview Park, where she grew <br />up, hired Paul to represent us in negotiating our up coming <br />water agreement with Cleveland which was in my <br />committee. I remember Paul inviting me to have lunch with <br />him -- I didn't go but worked closely with him on that <br />agreement, hammering out the details, before it was <br />presented as legislation to council. <br />Fairview Pk. city council was a hands-on partner with the <br />administration — generating legislation and adjusting or <br />modifying what was sent to us in detail, including the city's <br />budget. There was nothing that the administration sent <br />down to us that was rubberstamped as -is -- yes or no. <br />Everything of substance was picked apart, examined, and <br />modified in committee meetings, where needed. This is <br />where I came from 28 years ago. So, with the upcoming <br />mayor's race, people need to be made aware of who is <br />capable of doing the job and who is just riding the wave of <br />an elected position. <br />Dennis Lambert <br />25057 Carey Ln. <br />
