The attached Broker's Opinion of Value shows a $10M value for the properties located on the west side of Belle Ave owned by the City.

So the buildings located on the 2.7 acres of land to be "sold" to CCF are worth $10M.

There has never been a listing or an offer to sell the properties to any party other than CCF. But City Hall says nobody wants them?

Please recall that the Master Agreement requires LHA/City money of $3.6M to demolish the buildings for CCF and an additional $2.5M to be given to CCF to help CCF build their own garage on that land.

Its is estimated that CCF will pay only $2.7M for the cleared land.

So in the west side of Belle transaction alone (called the "FHC Site Sale" in the Master Agreement) the City is giving away net money and property of $13.4M to gift CCF the land.

Please note that I made public records requests back on December 8, 2015 that were partially complied with today with the attached BOV.

It appears to me that Kevin Butler and City Hall are engaged in a classic political tactic of "telling only a part of the truth slowly--very slowly"

WHY HAS CITY HALL KEPT THE TRUTH FROM US?

So I have a broker's opinion that Columbia Rd is worth $12M-$13M.

The City has one that the west side of Belle is worth north of $10M.

I've been told the equipment in the hospital is valued at $30M

12+10+30=52 So to get to Subsidium's $71M valuation is not hard if we could get just $19M for the buildings on the east side of Belle.

HMMMMMM! Is there someone else besides CCF making some money here?

According to the report the parking garage only has an average of 117 paying cars per day. Since the garage is normally full that ads up to a lot of free parking for the Cleveland Clinic.

Councilman Juris excused the lack of maintenance on the garage because the Hospital spent the money on Hospital maintenance. So a $10 million City investment was left to rot. Now the City must spend millions to build a new parking for the Clinics Medical Office building.

Perhaps it's time for Council to meet once every couple of years and rubber stamp the Mayors actions instead of going through the motions of fake oversight.

Perhaps it's time for Council to meet once every couple of years and rubber stamp the Mayors actions instead of going through the motions of fake oversight.

In my opinion, it has been far more advanced than "fake" by several members of Council. Its been an active fraud of their colleagues on Council and the public.

For example, I've been told that in those numerous "executive sessions," Madigan et al blocked the rest Council from having legal counsel review the evidence of decanting etc.

If true, it begs the question: What possible legitimate motive could there have been for Council leadership to deny a full and fair analysis of the evidence against CCF and LHA while Council was allegedly "deliberating" only the litigation and not the "competitive bid" and "LOI"?

Like much of what has happened, this points to widespread corruption and a fraud upon the public.

Love the tagline bro.

Jealous Much?

Not site your sources much? I WANT to believe you, I just can't without a source.

I can just hear it now:

Judge Wapner: "Those are some damaging claims, please site your source."

Essi: "What is a source?"

Judge Wapner: "It's just not valid without a source."

Essi: "If I give you a lot of stats, will you believe me then?"

Judge Wapner: "No."

I do have a phone...and email. Thanks for asking. Do you? Corey 1:6:16

The charity has been around 11+ years and has written many checks to organizations such as CCF Children's Hospital for Pediatric Cardiolgy, the Ronald McDonald House (both Cleveland and Houston, TX), the American Heart Association, Congenital Heart Information Network, Brake for Kids, Lakewood City Schools, Flying Horse Farms and more. Look us up. We'd love to accept a donation from you and your family to help children with heart diseases.

Since you like to change subjects...I read a post from someone on another thread that the only reason you are so intent on the Hospital matter is because it is harming your household income. Is this true? Is that the real reason you are involved?

Caught in a lie? You have no names. You just made all that crap up. Just admit it. "I Corey Rossen lied when I claimed people joined Summers and BL because of the Deck and SLH--I have no names or evidence of that. I just made it up to get attention."

You are too funny!

Now, words in my mouth? I have never said that people joined BL or Summers. Your anger gets the best of you, you're not thinking straight.

You only have to name one person and you can't. What kind of a liar does that make you? Your credibility is fading. Keep up the flood of stats, it's all you have.

Your games are getting old. Get a hobby!

Caught in a lie? You have no names. You just made all that crap up. Just admit it. "I Corey Rossen lied when I claimed people joined Summers and BL because of the Deck and SLH--I have no names or evidence of that. I just made it up to get attention."

I'll give you one: Brad Humphreys (and 6 of the 7 council members from 2.3 years ago).

Lurk around the observer Facebook page and you will find where I expressed my concerns that CCF manipulated this situation to suit their needs (ala decanting). I was not actively involved in either SLH or BL. I had hopes that SLH would exhibit some leverage to strengthen a negotiating position, but alas, we got the "Essi" show.

Who knows, maybe I'm just one of few, but the "screaming" embellished information only undermined your arguments. Jim O'Bryan's post calling it "stupid" to be asking the question of what happens if Issue 64 passes, gets some credit too. The other "Observer Half Dozen" can split some minor credit also. This is not a black and white issue, selling it that way, may impress some, but not me. Some people do respond to emotion, some need comfort in the veracity of the information presented to them. I have never really considered political messaging/pr an honorable profession; I can thank-you for proving to me otherwise.

I'll turn this back over to Corey to continue doing a great job of pushing your buttons. But I just could not help myself to not post when you are tossing around "liar"... "no names"... "you made all that crap up". It's like this kid I knew in 4th grade.... except he is still in 4th grade. That brings me to my other reason for posting: to get my Observer "label"... shall I be a Troll, A shill, conspirator, member of the Illuminati?

Jim O'Bryan's post calling it "stupid" to be asking the question of what happens if Issue 64 passes, gets some credit too. The other "Observer Half Dozen" can split some minor credit also. This is not a black and white issue,

The Hospital issue is black and white.

The original master agreement of many years ago called for the Clinic to:

Return the Hospital as an ongoing concern.
Return the Hospital in substantially same condition.
Return all assets of the Hospital to the City at the end of the lease term.
Continue to offer the services of Lakewood Hospital to people regardless of their ability to pay.

The modified agreement allowed the Clinic to remove certain services on the condition that the Clinic invest in Lakewood and make Lakewood Hospital a Center of Excellence.

http://www.cleveland.com/medical/index. ... eland.html

"The plan will also turn Lakewood Hospital into the hub of acute rehabilitation for Cleveland’s west side, ending those services at Lutheran and Fairview hospitals. Other changes include an expansion of the Neurological Institute and the creation of “centers of excellence” in areas such as diabetes and orthopedics. "

The Clinic never intended to keep any of those promises and defrauded the City.

The Lakewood Hospital Association worked with the Clinic to undermine the Hospital and so failed in its fiduciary duty.

Rather than challenge the Clinic and the LHA the Mayor worked with them to undermine the Hospital, refused to market the Hospital and focused on protecting the Clinic and the Clinics plans to the detriment of the people of Lakewood.

Issue 64, if passed, would have set up an automatic vote to approve any vote by council to close the Hospital. That's it.

What has the City gained for all it has lost?

Has anyone from Build Lakewood or the Mayors office revealed just what it is they want to build?

Brad

Brad,

That's at least one then.

I agree with you that my work with Corey is child's play--a needed diversion from the tiring work I'm doing. You accuse me of "screaming embellished information", but you cite no information that I have embellished So let's use the "facts" of this post that brought you to the Deck as an example.

First, I cited cold hard facts that our government gave away $13.4M in assets for free on just one part of the transaction--nobody has laid a glove on these facts. For his part Corey discounts these hard facts as "stats" Very telling avoidance and denial.

Second, I wrote a follow up comment: "For example, I've been told that in those numerous "executive sessions," Madigan et al blocked the rest Council from having legal counsel review the evidence of decanting etc. If true, it begs the question: What possible legitimate motive could there have been for Council leadership to deny a full and fair analysis of the evidence against CCF and LHA while Council was allegedly "deliberating" only the litigation and not the "competitive bid" and "LOI"?

Third, my post bothered Corey so he ignored all the facts and substance, but instead wanted to know my source for the executive session comment--a classic Corey diversion thread drift tactic. I assure you that it is a "fact" that the comment was made to me by a Councilmember, but please note that I used the words "if true"--in other words its a fact tat the Councilmember told me, but it does not mean that he or she was telling me the truth or that it really happened. While I believe that member's statement is true, I did not and do not want to reveal his/her name. Hence, I consciously engaged in the child's play of diverting attention to Corey's unrelated and unsubstantiated claims--an admitted tacit--in essence giving Corey a taste of his own medicine--I have done this before and it is like high school physics--stimulus-response. It spun into Corey being outraged and calling me a liar etc. which he has done before when I have, as you say "pushed his buttons." We can debate whose is better at pushing whose buttons, but I think its fair to say from the record that Corey's reactions to my button pushing is louder than mine. Thou think he doth protest too much--and quite often.

Fourth, Please be aware too that by calling me a "4th grader" you engaged in name calling. No worries Brad, I've been called a lot worse and as things unfold and I am proven right, I fully expect the anger at me will grow louder. Also, it was Corey above, not me who used the term "liar" so you aren't being entirely accurate. I simply pointed out to Corey that he could not come up with names---and he could not so that appeared to be a "lie." He then denied he had made claims--(similar to yours but you admit your don't really know), that I have single handedly turned the whole political tide against the SLH cause resulting in the hospital closure when it could have been saved. You suggested that you and 6 of 7 council may have been swayed by the "Essi" show. You are one, there could be thousands, and whether more support me or reject me is a matter of speculation wrapped around conjecture. Al that matters to me are the facts and getting to the truth. I am not prone to sugar coating things--especially ugly things like lies and corruption. Why would I do that?

I find this comment of yours to be most troubling from an intellectual stand point in the context of your post: "Some people do respond to emotion, some need comfort in the veracity of the information presented to them. A decent point that is torpedoed by embellishment/extrapolation is a lost point." Since objectively, I have brought a plethora of facts to the Deck and directly to Council in cogent documented form, what you suggest is that my tone and presentation make it all for naught. If we accept that premise, then doesn't that suggest that you and these alleged six Council members (and the others you suspect have been turned off by me) are acting on emotional reactivity rather than the facts presented? In other words, ignore all the facts and focus only on the style and personality of the messenger. That's the problem with politics in a nutshell. In that regard Brad, I'll let you in on secret---I'm not trying to be popular.

So Brad, I am curious, what have you done with your knowledge of CCF's decanting? Have written and engaged with Council? Did you try to support SLH? If so I applaud you.

Can you get real direct and specific with me about the facts you dispute and claim I embellish? That would be the best service to our community--- prove me wrong so that I can join Mr. Kenny and others lighting candles and we can put an end to the "Essi" show.
