ROCKY RIVER/CLEVELAND REGIONAL QUESTIONS!


To: Rocky River City School District, Rocky River City Government, Rocky River Business Community and Fellow Residents,


MR. ANDREW BEMER – DIRECTOR OF LAW

 

I AM REQUESTING PUBLIC RECORD – REGARDING WHAT TOOK PLACE BY WHOM AND WHY, THAT LED TO THE ROCKY RIVER /CLEVELAND REGIONAL AGREEMENTS.  THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH AT 7:00 P.M. AT ROCKY RIVER CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS.

 

On November 10, 2006 Mayor Frank G. Jackson of Cleveland, Ohio sent Ms. Bobst a letter.   That said, "The City of Cleveland is asking that you consider ... the principles of ... income tax sharing and regional cooperation in revitalizing our economy." 

 

On Monday, February 5th at 7:00 P.M. at Rocky River city hall council chambers, a Cleveland city official will talk to Rocky River city council. 

 

About, ‘three (3) economic regional agreements’, the city of Cleveland want Rocky River to enter into with Cleveland and for possibly up to twenty (20) years.

 

‘Said Agreements’ are:

 

1.      Amendment to Water Service Agreement for direct service between the city of Cleveland and the city of Rocky River:

 

2.      Asset Transfer Agreement:

 

3.    Joint Economic Development Zone Agreement Between The City Of Cleveland and The City Of Rocky River, Ohio:

 

WHAT TOOK PLACE BY WHOM AND WHY, THAT LED TO THE ROCKY RIVER /CLEVELAND REGIONAL AGREEMENTS THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED ON MONDAY FEBRUARY 5TH AT 7:00 P.M. AT ROCKY RIVER CITY HALL CHAMBERS.

 

That Mr. Bemer, is why my request for public information to Rocky River city government - is as follows:  

 

Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 149.43 (B), I respectfully request ‘Full Public Disclosure’ of 'all' Public Record maintained by the Municipal Corporation of the City of Rocky River, of the County of Cuyahoga, and of the State of Ohio that shows WHAT TOOK PLACE BY WHOM AND WHY, THAT LED TO (1.) On November 10, 2006 Mayor Frank G. Jackson of Cleveland, Ohio sent Ms. Bobst a letter.   That said, "The City of Cleveland is asking that you consider ... the principles of ... income tax sharing and regional cooperation in revitalizing our economy." AND (2.)  On Monday, February 5th at 7:00 P.M. at Rocky River city hall council chambers, a Cleveland city official will talk to Rocky River city council. 

 

About, ‘three (3) economic regional agreements’, the city of Cleveland want Rocky River to enter into with Cleveland and for possibly up to twenty (20) years.

 

‘Said Agreements’ are:

 

1.      Amendment to Water Service Agreement for direct service between the city of Cleveland and the city of Rocky River:

 

2.      Asset Transfer Agreement:

 

3.    Joint Economic Development Zone Agreement Between The City Of Cleveland and The City Of Rocky River, Ohio:

 

FINALLY, IN MY OPINION!

 

I see a day, WHEN ROCKY RIVER RESIDENTS WILL DECIDE ISSUES LIKE the Rocky River/Cleveland ‘said agreement’ that includes but not limited to ‘income tax sharing’ and ‘regional cooperation’ with Cleveland.  RATHER, THAN HAVING THESE SAID TYPE OF CITY ISSUES BEING DECIDED BY A BAND OF ELECTED CITY OFFICIALS.

 

IN CLOSING:
