Mayor seeks to revitalize his city cers were put on patrol after Onunwor's administration, led by chief of staff Eric Brewer, reshuffled duties to get more police on the streets. Acting Police Chief Joe L. Dixon, whom Onunwor says "doesn't take any nonsense," is expected to take the top job permanently. Criminals are not the only element to fall within the scope of Onunwor, who swaggers about City Hall with his police badge, which comes with his role as safety director, attached to the pocket of his sports jacket.
He is launching a crackdown on proprietors operating businesses without permits. During the last. couple of weeks, several have been temporarily shut down, including an automobile shop, a deli and a liquor store on Euclid Ave. "We have to provide a safe business environment for good. businesses," the mayor says.
"And we will do this by tracking down the crooked businesses and running them out." But such crackdowns are not enough, he acknowledges. East Cleveland needs money to make a change, and efforts to lure development have been elusive. "It worries me," Onunwor says. "We need jobs, industry. Things will change, but they will not happen right away.
East Cleveland A DIFFICULT FROM 1-B Critical to change is redevelopment, the new mayor says as he rides shotgun in an unmarked police car cruising the streets of East Cleveland, which are marked by vacant lots and the hulls of abandoned, condemned retail stores and apartment buildings. Although he could not provide an exact number, Onunwor says dilapidated and abandoned houses are scattered through many parts of the city, particularly north of Euclid Ave. Yet to the south, there are streets with charming houses and groomed yards. Onunwor resides in one of them with his wife, Pamela. Condemned and abandoned structures will have to be restored to market condition or else the city will seize them, says Onunwor, who doubles as the city's safety director.
"We will go after them aggressively," says Onunwor, who was City Council president until elected mayor. "They have a choice to rehabilitate those homes and rent them to good citizens, or rehabilitate them and sell. them." The city also has increased efforts to remove abandoned automobiles from the streets, and is determined to drive out drug dealers, many of whom do business along Euclid Ave. Onunwor calls it the "midnight shopping plaza." additional police offi- I- Children's Hospital Physician Associates invites you to a Community Open House Sunday, June 28, 1998, 1-4 p.m. Meet the pediatricians W.
