IT APPEARS THAT MR. PAYDO, SHOWN BELOW, HAS SOME REASONABLE BUSINESS SENSE, UNLIKE NEWBY MEDINA COUNTY COMMISSIONER BILL HUTSON AND TODD GERBIL, A SELF-IMPORTANT, SELF-PROCLAIMED "CHAIR" OF THE "INNOVATION PARK COMMITTEE" AT THE MEDINA COUNTY PORT AUTHORITY.
BASED UPON THE CHAIN OF EVENTS, PRESENTED BELOW, IT IS FAIRLY OBVIOUS THAT NEWBY COUNTY COMMISSIONER BILL HUTSON, TODD GERBIL, AND "SNAKE OIL" JERRY FIUME ARE ENGAGED IN A MENAGE-A-TROIS! IT IS UNKNOWN, HOWEVER, WHO IS GIVING AND WHO IS RECEIVING.
FOR EXAMPLE, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING EMIL MESSAGE FROM TODD GERBIL TO THE POTENTIAL BUYER OF INNOVATION PARK.
I presently serve on the Medina County Port Authority and recently began chairing the Innovation Park committee. I am in receipt of the "Letter of Intent" that was shared with our broker, and understand that you've reached out to other members of the Port Authority recently for a special session.
As you know, the Park is not zoned for residential development, and we are focused on continued efforts to bring appropriate business facilities to the location.
As a steward for the Port Authority and County, however, I do want to ensure your opportunity to position the project and would be willing to meet an evening this week to better understand your proposal. This would not be a negotiation - our broker ["SNAKE OIL" JERRY FIUME] would continue in that capacity - simply the opportunity to have a conversation to determine if/how we can mutually move forward. If you'd prefer, we can also communicate via email or phone.
Thank you,
Todd D. Gerbil [Gerber]FROM THE ABOVE-EMAIL MESSAGE, IT IS CLEAR THAT TODD GERBIL WANTS TO STICK WITH "THEIR BROKER," "SNAKE OIL" JERRY FIUME WHO, ACCORDING TO THE "SELLER'S AGREEMENT" PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AT THIS BLOG, STANDS TO PROFIT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00) FOR THE "SALE" OF PUBLIC LAND BELONGING TO THE CITIZENS OF MEDINA COUNTY.
TAKING A MOMENT TO REVIEW THE SUCCESS OF TODD GERBIL, THE SELF-PROCLAIMED "CHAIR" (MORE LIKE A TOADSTOOL) OF THE "INNOVATION PARK COMMITTEE," READERS NEED ONLY TO TAKE A DRIVE ALONG OHIO ROUTE 162 AND, LOOKING NORTHERLY, OBSERVE THE HUMMING HUB OF INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE ONGOING IN INNOVATION PARK . . . NOT!!!
BEST GUESS IS THAT TODD GERBIL NEVER CONTEMPLATED THAT TACKING ON AN 8% SURCHARGE TO CONSTRUCTION COSTS, PAYABLE TO "SNAKE OIL" JERRY, MIGHT BE A DISINCENTIVE TO DRAWING BUSINESS TO INNOVATION PARK.
POSING A HYPOTHETICAL, WOULD YOU, THE READER, AGREE TO CONSTRUCT A $5 MILLION DOLLAR BUILDING IN INNOVATION PARK, EVEN IF THE LAND WAS GRANTED TO YOU FREE OF CHARGE, WELL KNOWING THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY "SNAKE OIL" JERRY AN 8% CONSTRUCTION SURCHARGE, AMOUNTING TO $450,000.00 FOR DOING NOTHING AT ALL? ABSURD!
FOLLOWING THE RECEIPT OF THE ABOVE-EMAIL MESSAGE, THE POTENTIAL BUYER MADE A PRESENTATION, BY INVITATION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER PATRICIA GEISSMAN, THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AT THEIR REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING. UNFORTUNATELY, AND PERHAPS BY DESIGN, PATRICIA GEISSMAN WAS NOT PRESENT FOR THE MEETING.
DURING THE MEETING, THE POTENTIAL BUYER MADE HIS PRESENTATION, AFTER WHICH NEWBY COUNTY COMMISSIONER BILL HUTSON REJECTED THE POTENTIAL BUYER'S LETTER OF INTENT WHILE COUNTY COMMISSIONER ADAM FRIEDRICK SAT SILENTLY BY.
HUTSON REAFFIRMED HIS POSITION THAT MEDINA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS INTENDED TO STAND BY THEIR MAN, "SNAKE OIL" JERRY FIUME, APPARENTLY UNDER THE BELIEF THAT AUTHORIZING FIUME TO PROFIT SUBSTANTIALLY FROM THE SALE OF PUBLIC LAND TO THE TUNE OF TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00) IS PERFECTLY ETHICAL AND LEGAL. HUTSON, IT TURNS OUT, IS GOING TO BE PART OF THE PROBLEM RATHER THAN PART OF THE SOLUTION WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC CORRUPTION IN MEDINA COUNTY POLITICS.
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG FOR HUTSON TO PICK UP ON AND IMPLEMENT THE MEDINA COUNTY CIRCLE JERK!
