Topic: General Conversation (1,707,630 views) Title: Re: Lorain County Issue 6 Message: Good afternoon Bacon, Well, my thoughts on the situation were similar to Cuyahoga County, but since we have less population probably need a smaller "council" than they would need. Say we have one elected "county administrator" (or any other term that may seem appropriate) and then a council of 4 to 5. I would guess that both Elyria and Lorain (being the two largest cities) would have a representative and then an east side rep (say representing Avon, Avon Lake and North Ridgeville, Eaton), a south side rep (Wellington, Grafton, Penfield) and then a west side rep (Amherst, South Amherst, Veermilion, Birmingham) would make up the council. My apologies if I left out any townships (and I know I must have missed at least a few). Anyway, that would constititute the county's governing board. The details of hieracrhy still need to be worked out (haven't read all of issue 6 yet), but I believe this would be a viable management system for our county. Any thoughts and comments are appreciated. Thank you. Written by: buddyboy on November 4, 2009 6:02 PM View other posts from buddyboy   Useful: Did you find it useful?
