The Cleveland Water Agreement discussion continued. From Councilman Tom Henderson : "Council
and the Mayor have been considering a proposal to transfer ownership of our
water lines from Bay Village to Cleveland Water. It’s a complex issue, but my
top concern is that Bay Village currently controls when the aging water lines
under our streets are replaced. If we transfer ownership of our lines to
Cleveland Water, they will decide when our water lines need to be replaced.
Accepting this proposal would also limit our options regarding water suppliers
in the future as the region’s water infrastructure evolves. What do you
think?"

"We just think council made a huge mistake, and
unfortunately the taxpayers are going to have pay for it," Sutherland
said.

Starting page 5 - some of the months long discussions on the
Cleveland Water Agreement are attached in the Council notes. The Mayor
mentioned that this had been discussed for 5 months – but now since the
newspapers got wind of it ‘for the sake of transparency’ they would not convene
to executive session – which allows no audience, but will discuss in public. 5
months and suddenly it’s decided to be transparent?
