FRED SOKOL SUPPORTS - ROCKY RIVER COMMUTER RAIL SERVICE!  Why?

"Cuyahoga's exodus rivals that of Katrina Counties"

"Cuyahoga County saw the sixth-largest drop in population among American counties, losing about 16,000 people between July 2005 and July 2006." ...

"Cuyahoga County has lost about 80,000 residents, or 6 per-cent of its people, 2000 Census, ..." (Plain Dealer, Thursday March 22, 2007 "Cuyahoga's exodus rivals that of Katrina counties")

Where has Rocky River City Hall, Rocky River City Council and all You Rocky River Civic Leaders been, in trying to stop this reported 'population loss' not only in Cuyahoga County but assuredly in Rocky River?  'Commuter Rail Service' with the transportation and development/ redevelopment it will bring to Rocky River and the West Shore.  Will give residents and businesses a reason to come, stay and thrive here and not leave to somewhere outside of our area of Ohio.  Time has come today."

(READ FRED'S LETTER)

Saturday, March 10, 2007 FRED SOKOL:

"Who got paid what and why as a Rocky River city government employee?  Who okayed, it?

$38,970,500.00 was the combined ‘budget total’ for Rocky River city government employee (1.) salaries (2.) fringe benefits – proposed by Rocky River City Government – from 2006 through 2007.  (See Rocky River City Government Proposed Budget Totals 1990 – 2007)  That averages more than $19.4 million dollars per year."

Saturday, March 3, 2007 FRED SOKOL:

" I will replace all Rocky River city department directors.  Yet I will accept their resume for any other 'city job' opening, if they wish."

FRED SOKOL - ROCKY RIVER MISSION STATEMENT: "SWEEP OUT CITY HALL!"

Proposed Regional Water Service and Economic Development Agreements Rocky River Council February 5, 2007!

Mr. Brian Hagan - President, Rocky River City Council, City of Cleveland Water Commissioner J. Christopher Nielson made a presentation on February 5, 2007 to council that mirrored information that was printed on a power point handout he gave to mostly everyone that night.   That read,

"Proposed Regional Water Service and Economic Development Agreements Rocky River Council February 5, 2007

Water Service Agreement Amendments

Economic Development Agreement

Asset Transfer Agreement

Water Main Renewal Selection Process and Evaluation Criteria"

I understand that Cleveland will replace when needed, 'main water main connections' in Rocky River in return for Rocky River approving said agreements.

It appears to me Rocky River is giving Cleveland a lot more in return.

Council President Brian Hagan and Council Members,  I, Fred I. Sokol As A Resident and a Taxpayer of the City of Rocky River respectfully urge you to vote NO on the "Proposed Regional Water Service and Economic Development Agreements" that were presented to you on February 5, 2007 at your Rocky River City Council Hearing - or any amendments of said agreements.

Furthermore Mr. Hagan I would like you to contact me and tell me what you see as a plus for Rocky River, if said Rocky River/Cleveland Regional and Water Agreements are approved by Rocky River Council.

I will be waiting for your answer.  Thank You.  

Fred I. Sokol, Resident - Rocky River, Ohio

January 27, 2007

Fred Sokol will ask Rocky River City Government for 'all' Public Record ...

 

  • Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 149.43 (B), from the City of Rocky River regarding the Rocky River/Cleveland ‘said agreement’ that will include ‘income tax sharing’ and ‘regional cooperation’ with Cleveland.  Why?

 

  • To see who in Rocky River brought this ‘regionalism agreement’ to Rocky River Council anyway.  

 

  • I will expect an answer from my ‘request for public information’ before the Rocky River/Cleveland Agreement meeting on Monday, February 5th.   That will take place in Rocky River.

 

 

December/2006

Next week a letter will go out asking Rocky River residents to volunteer to be a part of the 'vote sokol committee' for Fred Sokol for Mayor 2007. 

Committee Positions such as media, message, volunteers, publicity, signs, poll workers and a 'campaign manager'. 

As I mentioned this morning to you Tom, there are no I's in Team!   We are in it together. 

Lakewood Jaycees taught me a very important point!  That is, WORKING TOGETHER.

Rocky River’s Social Contract

(How Good Is It?)

What Is A Social Contract? 

'An agreement' between citizens on how they and their government should act.  Example: "Rocky River's Charter."

  1. Will our 'Rocky River Social Contract' (Charter) that citizens agreed on in 1960 - that directs our city government to protect "The Health, Welfare and Safety" of Rocky River citizens - continue?

 

  1. Or will that ‘social contract’ (agreement) be pushed aside by Rocky River city government - and then will Rocky River city government ‘serve’ “The Health, Welfare and Safety" of a ‘Regional Cleveland Megalopolis’?

 

  1. Will ‘Of, By, and For The People’ eventually become ‘Of, By and For The Regional Cleveland Megalopolis’?

 

  1. Will the ‘individual resident’ of Rocky River eventually become just a part (of it takes a village) for 'The Regional Cleveland Megalopolis’?

 

  1. Will our Rocky River 'elected officials' defend our ‘Rocky River Sovereignty’ or surrender to ‘The Leader of the Regional Cleveland Megalopolis’?

All Of This Is Very Possible!

Coming Soon, Stay Tuned!

Happy Veteran's Day!  

Pray For and Thank Our Women and Men (1) Who Paid The Ultimate Price and For Their Families (2) Who Are Now Serving in The Protection of Our Country and Us - and For Their Families (3) Who Have Already Served and For Their Families!   

 

Lastly I am proud to ask you if you so wish, to click onto my website and join me in, Honoring America!  Rocky River Honor America!   

Thank You.God Bless You All! 

God Bless The U.S.A.

Fred I. Sokol, Resident - Rocky River, Ohio

Monday – September 25, 2006. 

‘Elected and Appointed Rocky River council members’ did not put my two (2) letters - I previously requested - onto the public record for the September 11, 2006 council meeting.

My said letters were sent earlier to Mr. Brian Hagan, Council President – on Monday September 5, 2006 - requesting public financial record from Rocky River City Government.

Why didn’t council put my two (2) letters - in their public record for the September 11, 2006

Don’t we have Free Speech in Rocky River?

FRED SOKOL declares,

"I seek ‘REFORM AND LIMIT OF ROCKY RIVER’.

Neither Republicans nor Democrats will ever 'reform and limit' Rocky River city government for residents. 

Unless they are opposed by a third party competitor that threatens their rule.

The 'competitor' is here.  He has a 'simple and dramatic' message for 'all residents' to hear and embrace. 

THE COMPETITOR:  IS ME!

MY MESSAGE:  'REFORM & LIMIT' ROCKY RIVER CITY GOVERNMENT!"

STAY TUNED THIS WEEKEND FOR "FRED'S LETTER" FOR ANOTHER ROCKY RIVER ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE 'REFORMED AND LIMITED'.

WHY AREN'T ROCKY RIVER CITY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS CONTACTING FRED SOKOL?

ABOUT HIS 'OFFICIAL REQUEST' FOR 'PUBLIC FINANCIAL INFORMATION' FROM ROCKY RIVER CITY GOVERNMENT

- that accounts for every penny: (1.) That Rocky River city government received and the names of who gave the money and (2.) What Rocky River city government spent and the names of who received the money - from fiscal year 1990

through fiscal year 2006?

As soon as I find out I will let you know!

Fred I. SokolResident - Rocky River, Ohio

Fred Sokol asks the question? 

"Does The Rocky River Charter allow council to pick a new Rocky River Mayor to start another elected mayor's 'new term'?

In my 'non-attorney' opinion.  I don't think so.  Read Article II - The Mayor Section 1. Term and Section 4 Vacancy and Absence in office of Mayor.  You be the judge!

ARTICLE II - THE MAYOR

SECTION 1. TERM.

The Mayor shall be elected at the regular municipal election in the year 1961, and every second year thereafter, for a term of two (2) years. His term shall commence and he shall assume office on the first day of January following his election and shall serve out his term or until his successor is elected and qualified, whichever occurs last.

SECTION 4. VACANCY AND ABSENCE IN OFFICE OF MAYOR.

(b) Vacancy. In the event the office of Mayor becomes vacant for any cause or reason, the President of Council shall become Acting Mayor until the Council meets and appoints, by a majority vote of all members, a person to serve as Mayor. Such appointment shall be made within sixty (60) days of such vacancy. Such appointee shall qualify under Section 2 of this Article and shall hold office and serve for the unexpired term and until a successor is duly elected and qualified. During the period until such vacancy is filled, the President of Council shall not cease to be a member of Council, but the President pro tem shall preside at meetings of Council. If the Council fails to fill such vacancy in the office of the Mayor within said sixty (60) day period, the President of Council shall become Mayor and his seat on the Council shall thereupon become vacant to be filled in accordance with the provisions of Article III, Section 7 of this Charter.
