Cleveland Heights reopened the search for the seat vacated by Phyllis Evans' resignation and received more applications.
Cleveland Heights Mayor Ed Kelley announced today that 20 people are now vying for the vacant Cleveland Heights City Council seat. Council decided to reopen its search in August after it determined that former Councilwoman Phyllis Evans, who resigned in May, would not be considered for the position. Evans, 67, applied for the role she left, hoping that she would be able to continue to receive her benefits from the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System and regain the spot she held on council for nearly 20 years. “We decided to reopen the search based on the fact that many people told us that they would have applied, but they thought that Phyllis was going to get the position," Kelley said in an interview in August. Kelley had said that …

Evans resigned in May and has recommended that Jeff Coryell, who ran for council in November 2011, replace her.
To the Editor: Much to my chagrin, it has become very clear that I will not be able to retain the Cleveland Heights councilperson position that I was elected to November 2011. It was a pleasure to serve the residents of our city after being appointed February 1993 to an unexpired term and subsequently elected November 1993 to complete the unexpired term. I am proud to say THANK YOU to the voters who re-elected me in 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011. I enjoyed the many years of service, and I am proud to have served the residents of our community for almost 20 years. There were many challenges throughout those years, but I always welcomed the opportunity to make the best possible decisions after adequate research and conversation. I enjoyed …

Phyllis Evans, who resigned from Cleveland Heights City Council in May, has applied for the vacant seat.
