Sammy Catania in Ward 14 / Sammy Catania en el Distrito 14 - (Submitted by dw on October 21, 2010 - 11:07pm.)Submitted by Quest-News-Serv... on Thu, 10/21/2010 - 23:58.
I have repeated this many times: council representatives need to legislate, and not be involved in the local/community development corporations. There must be a separation of "powers" of the elected representative, and the board of trustees that the director of the CDC report to. This means that a councilman should not be able to dictate to a CDC who they hire or fire, or what activities the CDC staff carry out.Sammy Catania in Ward 14/Sammy Catania en el Distrito 14Submitted by dw on October 21, 2010 - 11:07pm.
Too bad, Brian, that you and most Cleveland City Council representatives regards CDC's as an extension of your political offices. When you say about Sammy Catania "This does not detract from the services that are contracted for under the City's authority and ultimately have to be met by TWDC" you are failing to explain that you allotted $100,000 to TWDC and this is what was bought with that money. That you also set up a form of a new CDC located conveniently where your ward office is located furthers this perception of a CDC as an extension of your political office. It harkens back to the time when I first visited the Collinwood CDC to meet with their executive director. She is in the front, answering the phones and taking messages for none other than Councilman Polensek as he had the CDC and his ward office together. The staff of the CDC acted also as his ward office personnel, though the money came through the Cleveland Community Development office.
It is disheartening that in 2010, we have to listen to any council person hand our tax dollars over to a CDC and at the same time hear him disavow responsibility for both the quality of the character of that employee as well as the quality of the work, unless that employee annoys the councilperson and gets fired!
We all need to wake up here. Don't demand that a councilperson fire a staff person employed by a CDC, but do demand that the councilperson withdraw funds from the CDC. They pull it all the time, and can do it again.
Better yet, take the damn money away from the council representatives so that they can focus on their jobs at City Hall. Give the money to a general pot and let the residents decide if they want pot holes repaired or if they want to duplicate the services in a CDC that the City can and does provide: program outreach, code enforcement, safety issues, housing grants, historic preservation, and community planning. It is already available and we are already paying for this, and it is located at Cleveland City Hall.
En español:
He repetido muchas veces: los representantes del Consejo necesidad de legislar, y no estar involucrados en los ámbitos local y corporaciones de desarrollo comunitario. Debe haber una separación de "poderes" de los representantes elegidos, y el consejo de administración que el director del informe de los CDC para. Esto significa que un concejal no debe ser capaz de dictar a un CDC que contratan o fuego, o lo que las actividades del personal de los CDC llevan a cabo.
Lástima, Brian, que usted y la mayoría de Cleveland representantes del Ayuntamiento se refiere a los CDC como una extensión de sus cargos políticos. Al decir de Sammy Catania "Esto no va en detrimento de los servicios que son contratados con fines bajo la autoridad de la Ciudad y en última instancia, tienen que ser sufragados por TWDC" que no logran explicar que asigna $ 100,000 para TWDC y esto es lo que se compró con ese dinero. Que también creó un formulario de una nueva CDC ubicado convenientemente en la oficina de su barrio está localizado favorece esta percepción de los CDC como una extensión de su oficina política. Se remonta a la época en que visité por primera vez el CDC Collinwood para reunirse con su director ejecutivo. Ella está en el frente, respondiendo a los teléfonos y tomar mensajes para nada menos que el concejal Polensek como lo había hecho el CDC y la sala de juntas de su oficina. El personal de los CDC actuó también como su oficina de personal de sala, aunque el dinero llegó a través de la oficina de Desarrollo Comunitario de Cleveland.
Es desalentador que en el 2010, tenemos que escuchar a cualquier parte del consejo de más de nuestros dólares de impuestos a los CDC y al mismo tiempo oírle negar la responsabilidad tanto por la calidad del carácter de ese empleado, así como la calidad de la obra , a menos que el empleado molesta el concejal y es despedido!
Todos tenemos que despertar aquí. No exija que un incendio concejal un miembro del personal empleado por una CDC, pero la demanda de que el concejal retirar fondos de los CDC. Ellos lo tire todo el tiempo, y puede hacerlo de nuevo.
Mejor aún, tome el maldito dinero lejos de los representantes del Consejo para que puedan centrarse en sus puestos de trabajo en el Ayuntamiento. Dar el dinero a un fondo general y dejar que los habitantes decidan si quieren baches reparados o si desea duplicar los servicios en una CDC que la ciudad puede ofrecer y ofrece: difusión del programa, la aplicación del código, las cuestiones de seguridad, subsidios de vivienda, la histórica conservación y planificación de la comunidad. Ya está disponible y ya estamos pagando por esto, y se encuentra en Cleveland City Hall.
