Eastlake Employees Using City Vehicles After Hours

Written by Brian Massie

Residents of the City of Eastlake have contacted us to help resolve a situation that they believe is a problem in their City. We sent the following records request to Ms. Carol-Ann Schindel, Finance Director for the City.

We have addressed other taxpayers’ concerns in the City of Eastlake when we tried to help the City address the need to have a formal records retention schedule. We are happy to help the City be more transparent with their taxpayers.
