Eastlake budget in limbo over disagreement on city pool  The few
residents who attended the Eastlake City Council meeting knew
from the beginning that no budget would be passed Tuesday night.
Instead of going through a full veto process, which Mayor Ted
Andrzejewski said he would do if the budget did not include the
city's pool, the council decided to put the budget on first
reading to try to further negotiate with the administration.  "I
am against the veto. This council is against the veto," Council
President Dennis Morley said.  But the state deadline for budget
passage is March 31, which is Easter Sunday. Law Director Randy
Klammer said the statute states the permanent budget must be
passed no later than the first day of April, possibly allowing
the city to take some budgetary action on Monday.  "Based on my
review with the law director, if there is no budget -- a
permanent budget -- adopted by April 1, I have no authority to
pay anybody for their work or anything else," Finance Director
Mike Slocum said
