The seats were full at Monday night's Conneaut City Council Meeting as City Manager Robert A. Schaumleffel, Jr. admited that he did apply for the position of Mentor City Manager.
Schaumleffel stated "I did apply..."I have an obligation to my family to keep my options option." and further continued, "I am not going to apologize for that." The admission came after Ward 1 Councilman Dave Campbell asked the city manager if the rumors were true. Campbell didn't want to proceed with the proposed $1.3 million dollar AMR project if there was a potential to "lose our captain."
Department Head's Robert Howland and Robert Mannion were on hand to answer questions regarding the Lake Road Waterline and AMR projects and Safety Director Jon Arcaro disccused Pending Legislation in regards to text messaging while driving.

Conneaut's D-Day Details...
D Day Conneaut, August 22, 2009
D Day Conneaut is a cultural reenactment of the WWII era. For 10 years historians and patriots from across the United States and Canada have gathered in Conneaut Ohio to relive D Day, June 6, 1944, the largest amphibious landing in history. Recreating the landing in every detail, that is possible, allied troops are brought ashore by landing craft similar to those used on D Day. Upon approach, the serene and tranquil shoreline of Lake Erie erupts with the fury of hundreds of reenactors. In support of this recreated landing, fighter aircraft patrol overhead as the allies assault the axis emplacements affixed on an elevated bluff. The defending troops of “fortress Europe” are armed proportionately to repel the invasion with artillery and machine-gun fire. Simulated explosions with pyrotechnics add to the realism of what some say to be the most impressive recreation of one of the most pivotal moments in the twentieth century.
This free to the public educational event is funded strictly by the generous donations of re-enactors, veterans groups, and individual contributors just like you. All work is accomplished by unpaid volunteers. This year marks the 65th Anniversary of D Day, June 6, 1944 and is the 10th Annual D Day Conneaut Commemorative. We have established several ways for folks to help. Please check out our website at http://ddayohio.us to help fund this event. If you are interested in volunteering please check the list below for several volunteer opportunities. Please feel free to contact the Chairman, Lisa Torey for any questions or if you would like to help.
