Fred Sokol's - Contract
With Residents
Since 1960 - Rocky River residents lived under ‘strong mayor
rule’ that controls our money, city government and us. Rocky River city
government is our master. Below is how we are going to break Rocky River
city government's grip.
I Support:
1. CUT CITY INCOME TAX - FOR ALL ROCKY RIVER RESIDENTS AND
BUSINESSES
– In 2003 - $42,474,266.00 is Rocky
River city government’s ‘Total Net Assets’. $26,635,650.00 is Rocky River Waste
Water Treatment Plant’s ‘Total Net Assets’. $69,109,916.00 is the combined
‘Total Net Assets’. YES! Rocky River city government can afford tax cuts.
2.
VOTER APPROVAL OF ZONING CHANGES IN ROCKY RIVER –
A major Rocky
River Master Plan is now unfolding. Residents must know and decide ‘zoning
changes’ that affect their home, neighborhood – and throughout Rocky River.
This doesn’t include variances.
3.
LIMIT
TAXES, SPENDING AND SURPLUS OF ROCKY RIVER CITY GOVERNMENT. REFUND EXCESS
'SURPLUS MONEY' TO TAXPAYERS.
Rocky River City
Government will spend less taxpayers keep more. No devil in the details here!

4. GUARANTEE
JOBS FOR ROCKY RIVER RESIDENTS –
City Government will require contractors who work
on 'city government funded projects' within the city - to hire Rocky River residents
for 'a minimum' of 20% of the jobs. In which the contract is - or above
$100,000.
5. PROTECT
ROCKY RIVER CITIZEN’S RIGHTS
- City Hall
once considered a ‘criminal trespass law’ for almost anyone walking on a Rocky
River Private or Public Lawn (like a city park) - without permission. City
Hall once considered restricting citizen speech at council meetings.
6. 'INDEPENDENT
AUDIT WITH CITIZEN OVERSIGHT' YEARLY - from
1990 to 2005 a total of more than ‘half a billion dollars’ or
($555,557,352.99) showed in the City of Rocky River’s ‘proposed (spending)
budgets'. I will find out where every nickel and dime of the taxpayer’s actual
money went - from 1990 to the present-and for every year after.
7. EQUIP
ROCKY RIVER FIRE AND POLICE –
New ‘around the
clock’ fire substation in the Beach Cliff Area and Northern part of Rocky
River. Solve Rocky River Arson Fires.
8. HELP
NEEDY ROCKY RIVER RESIDENTS - WITH NEW 'COMPASSIONATE PROGRAMS'
– There are many in need in Rocky River.
Yet afraid to ask for help. We may know and want to help that someone.
9. ESTABLISH
CITIZEN SAFETY AND HEALTH BOARD
to find and
remove - safety and health hazards that threaten Rocky River residents. Remove
‘waste site’ on Lake Road across from Bradstreet’s Landing
10. REQUIRE
TOWN HALL MEETINGS IN WARD AND NEIGHBORHOODS –
so citizens
can plan, decide and carry out our Rocky River future – not power elite!
