KEY ISSUES
1. Unresponsive City Hall Action:Departments Change Council Structure
Council Members Charter Initiative -
7 Council Members
4 Chosen by Wards
3 Chosen at Large
Term limits - 2-3 (Total 8-12 years)
New Mayor each year
(After 1 year, Vice Mayor
becomes Mayor and council
votes for a new vice mayor)
2. Defeat School Levy Action:
Mobilize grassroots effort
Group discussions set up
throughout city
Flyers distributed door-to-door
Posters
3. City Finances - audit Action:
Create Team to perform a
Citizens' Audit
4. Review City Charter - last done 1982 (?)
5. Section 8 in Cleveland Heights
- Investigate how city implements/accommodates this
voucher program
- Pros and Cons to Residents
- Complaints w/documented support (pictures, video,
police records)
6. Create support for specific groups of citizens
Elderly: - What happened to the Chore Program?
- Better access to Community Center
Oxford-Noble Neighborhood - area north of Mayfield; east of Taylor to Monticello, then areas east of Selwyn. City officials, in action and words, place very little value on these two neighborhoods, with the exception of the Inglewood District and the new Bluestone development (both areas of which, historically, are part of the Noble Neighborhood).
