CLEVELAND, Ohio – Former Valley View Mayor Randall Westfall pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges involving the laundering of campaign contributions for his personal use.

Westfall, who served as mayor from 2000 until he resigned in 2013, could face more than 10 years in prison when Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge David Matia sentences him June 3. He pleaded guilty to attempted racketeering, tampering with records and theft in office.

Westfall, 63, earned $50,000 a year as mayor and $15,000 as safety director for Valley View, a village of about 2,000 people that often makes the news when the nearby Cuyahoga River floods. Before taking office in 2000, he served six years as a councilman while his father, Arthur Westfall, served as mayor.

Authorities said a special state audit of Valley View and Solon uncovered financial irregularities. In court documents, prosecutors said Westfall siphoned campaign funds to take several trips to Mexico, buy property, make car payments and pay property taxes.

One of the conditions of his plea was to turn over a tract of land he owns on Strathmore Drive in Valley View, which he bought for $6,000 in 2006. The property, valued at $8,200, will go to the city of Valley View.

The documents said Westfall pulled tens of thousands of dollars from his Friends of Mayor Westfall bank account from August 2005 to August 2008. Of that, $3,000 went to the Hawthorne Valley Country Club. Westfall also laundered campaign funds through his carpet company, Exact Carpet, “so that payments unrelated to running for office’’ could go for personal expenses, court records show.

The records said Westfall attempted to cover up what he did by falsifying documents and tax returns. One of Westfall’s attorneys, Mark Stanton, declined to comment, saying only that “we have a lot of work to do as we prepare for sentencing.’’

The village has been under scrutiny by state and local investigators for several years.

A Valley View audit in 2010 examined work from January 2002 to April 2009 and identified $169,645 in over-billing for inferior and smaller amounts of materials by two local contractors.

Following the audit, Valley View Engineer Paul Dey pleaded guilty to tampering with records and was given probation, but the Cuyahoga County prosecutor’s office has kept its investigation open.

That investigation, which also extends to paving contracts in Solon, was taken over by a special prosecutor from the state auditor’s office. On Tuesday, the special audit yielded charges against Marco Leone, whose family operates Chaney Cement Contractors.

Leone, 50, of Independence, pleaded no contest to tampering with records and two counts of bribery. Matia found him guilty, and he will be sentenced June 3. He could face nine years in prison. He was charged in 2010, but the case was later dismissed with authorities planning to refile it.

Leone has been ordered to repay Solon $1 million for overcharging the city on concrete work. He brought a check of $400,000 to court Tuesday.

As a result of the auditor’s investigation, Dominic Bisesi, a construction supervisor and longtime Solon employee, pleaded guilty to theft in office and tax charges.

Bisesi admitted taking thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks from Chaney Cement. He was given probation and ordered to repay $84,000 in bribes.
