I beg to differ with you Professor Presta, my learned friend. My poetry had nothing to do with the Sardinians nor did I receive my education from the University of Sardinia. I prefer to categorize my poetry as Middletown briarhopper ghetto slang with just a touch of ditty-boppin'hip hop. |

Don't know. Guess we could get excited about this if they would actually sign something and get some commitment from CS and HEP. 3 or 4 times of hearing that "we're close to signing" kinda takes the luster off of things. Until then, it remains a non-factor for this town. Don't think there will be some last minute change with either CS or HEP balking at the idea? |

Congratulations to City Manager Gilleland and her crew.
Now, Phase 2... Is there a contract signed as yet? If so, what are the commitments made by CS? Long term or can leave at any moment? What type of classes will be offered? How many students have or will be signed by their estimation? Will this number keep the ball rolling or temper any new attempts at expansion? Time and area student interest will tell whether this will be long term or not. Let's wait a year or two before we get all giddy with delight. Still alot to play out here. City Manager Gilleland states that this is "another major step forward for Middletown" How many steps have we taken back, Ms. Gilleland? Ms. Gilleland further states, "2012 is going to be a great year in our city"......We are a third of the way through 2012. This is the first event that has the potential to be positive for the year. Are we going to use one event that hasn't been activated nor expectations seen as yet to define having a "great year"? Premature optimism perhaps? |

“According to the unsigned but council-approved city contract with Higher Education
Partners, work on the CG&E building and the senior center must be completed
by The “unsigned but council-approved
city contract”??? Exactly when was this contract “council-approved”??? Certainly not at any of the meetings that I
watched on TVMiddletown!!! Did I miss
something, or did this action take place in an ILLEGAL
city council meeting??? What about this Mr. Landen, Mr. Picard, Mr. J.
Mulligan, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Adkins, or any of the other attorneys who may have
been involved and who are officers of the court—sworn to uphold the law??? |

This makes no sense. How can work be completed when there is no binding agreement? This charade is really making a mockery out of Middletown....or rather, a heightened mockery out of a city already an embarrassment.
AJ Smith is also an embarrassment. Why isn't the Mayor asking him to recuse himself from voting on the public safety levy when Smith goes to school to become a foreman, and clearly, he has a conflict of interest in shilling for the passage of the levy in such an underhanded manner, when he want/ desires a job. Does he get one? Does he get a letter of recommendation? I cannot believe Mr. Mulligan and Landen have not pointed this out. I believe council gave approval for Greg Pratt to do anything he wanted with HEP. |

Watch for Pratt to be retained by CS or HEP in an ongoing "consultant's" role.

I watched a Council meeting where the as of then un-signed, unknown agreement was voted through said Council. Mr.Pratt mae the plea/recommendation, and Council jumped all over it. Wanted the arrangement pre-approved, so that work could begin immediately after the agreement was reached without any further delay waiting for a Council meeting.
Relax--AJ will never be a fireman Let's hope for the best! |

Bill....good observation. Pratt will be retained to make sure all those Cinci State students pay their fines in Middletown so the SWAT team doesn't break a car down or apartment down to come and get them for missing their $10.00 a month amortized payment. I understand a black woman dying of cancer and on chem-therapy had her door broken down a few days ago by the SWAT team, and they roiled her out on a gurney for missing her fine payment, as she lay awaiting to die in 6 months. Where's the NCAAP when you have a legitimate issue?
swohio75----You posted the listing of all of Cincinnati State classes. I have called their admission office and Middletown will be nothing more than a hub for directing online classes taken in Cincinnati. All of the courses you referenced which they state "Middletown" will be taught in Cincinnati. spiderjohn----while AJ Smith may never be a firemen, perhaps a community organizer, he has certainly "burnt" enough of his bridges in Middletown. Someone is stuck putting them out. Is a lobotomy an option? Councilman A.J. Smith, chairman of council’s public safety subcommittee, disagreed. He said the voters will be “die-hard fans” of public safety, those who vote against any tax and the uninformed voters who Smith added can be convinced of the need. “August is our best chance to get it, a continuing levy would make the most sense,” Smith said. |

Do you recall at
which meeting this occurred??? I realize that my memory sometimes fails me, but
if you could give me a time frame or perhaps some other topic that was
prominent at the same meeting, it could jog my memory enough for me to find
either the minutes or the BlipTV recording. Thanks in
advance. |

Thank you, Vivian (and Spiderjohn)!!! Well, I sit corrected!!! The agreement was indeed passed by council at the March 6,
2012 meeting. The ordinance, which was read for the first time at the
February 21 meeting, was changed to (and passed as) an EMERGENCY ordinance so
Ms. Gilleland could be ready to sign the contract as soon as HEP and Cinci
State signed their agreement, without having to wait thirty days for the
ordinance to take effect. |

It is all so ridiculous. Can you imagine if an actual company were moving to town to bring in actual jobs? What kind of over-the-top hyperbole would these local hacks be able to summon then? Likely we wouldn't hear too much about it because it wouldn't directly impact the downtowners.
After seeking applause for an encore, will these dramatic performers please just stop their histrionics and exit stage left? Still waiting for someone other than Lambaugh to give a ___ about the roads or even the east end which is now floating aimlessly like that nuclear Japanese ghost ship.

Happy Easter and Passover everyone. This is happening it seems the city is full steam ahead. I would suggest we try and focus on the East end. If involvement from the citizens isn't there THEY will muck this up. Phone calls and Emails to any State, county and local Reps. is needed. Don't roll your eyes or shack your heads to hard, it is a lovely day and I' m not going to ruin it with crazy talk. Just remember it's Monday Tomo it's going to still be here...our council that is.

From MJ: Sale to Cincinnati State gets city’s OKBy Michael D. Pitman, Staff Writer 9:14 PM Friday, April 13, 2012 MIDDLETOWN — The city has signed a contract to sell the former CG&E building to a developer in what is one of the final steps to bring a Cincinnati State branch campus to downtown. Late Friday afternoon, City Manager Judy Gilleland added her signature to the contract with Massachusetts-based Higher Education Partners to sell the building for $202,000. The deal also includes the donation of the former senior center at Verity and Columbia parkways. The contract has been mailed for Higher Education officials to sign. “As I was signing the document, I was realizing that we have reached another milestone for Middletown,” said Gilleland. “Cincinnati State contractors and personnel have been present in the Middletown for several weeks now on a daily basis.” Cincinnati State staff and contractor personnel will occupy an office and meeting rooms at the city building until their operation is up and running, Gilleland said. Last week, Cincinnati State and Higher Education Partners officials signed their deal to develop the downtown campus that is expected to revitalize downtown. The school anticipates more than 200 students will enroll in the first year of the first branch campus of the community college, but programming is still being developed though Cincinnati State Academic Vice President Monica Posey has said “there will be different opportunities.” There will be a range of programs offered and courses will feature online and classroom classes, and hybrid options. Higher Education Partners CEO Michael Perik said he’s anxious for the hundreds and hopefully thousands of students to start taking classes in downtown Middletown. “This is only possible because of the vision of (Cincinnati State president) Dr. (O’dell) Owens and Cincinnati State, and the vision of the local community of Middletown,” Perik said. “Middletown has been very committed of making this education center a core part of their downtown.” While the former senior center is not part of the first phase of the project, Perik said plans for the building are being discussed. “We’ve talked to representatives of the college about their physical therapy program because the senior center would be perfect for some of those applications,” he said. “We intend to utilize that (building) just as quickly as possible.” Gilleland said city staff has been working with Higher Education Partners for a U.S. Housing and Urban Development Section 108 loan application to assist in financing of the campus. According to the application, $1 million will be requested for the project that will cost Higher Education Partners more than $3.1 million. “This makes it one of the most potent and important public investment tools that HUD offers to local governments,” said Gilleland. “Such public investment is often needed to inspire private economic activity, providing the initial resources or simply the confidence that private firms and individuals may need to invest in distressed areas.” Through May 9, the public may view the application and make comments. A public hearing will be held from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday on the fourth floor of the Middletown City Building, One Donham Plaza. The contract will be presented to City Council at its May 1 meeting. |
