The City of Twinsburg Council Meeting on March 11, 2025, highlighted a significant moment for the local fire department as they welcomed a new full-time firefighter-paramedic, Jeff Liars. Chief Mason expressed gratitude for Liars joining the team, emphasizing the competitive nature of hiring in the fire service. Liars, who has long aspired to work in Twinsburg, took his oath in front of family and friends, marking a proud moment for both him and the department.

In addition to the swearing-in ceremony, the council discussed pressing public safety issues, particularly regarding roundabout safety. Councilman Bellen reported that new signage has been installed at the Meadowwood Roundabout, with plans to monitor its effectiveness over the coming months. He noted that past incidents at the roundabout were largely due to driver error rather than a lack of signage.

The meeting also covered updates from the police department, revealing a record number of calls for service in February, totaling 2,626. Chief Mason highlighted the department's ongoing commitment to mental health training for officers, with a significant percentage now certified in Crisis Intervention Training (CIT).

Council members shared updates from various committees, including the upcoming community events such as the Easter egg hunt and Arbor Day celebrations, which aim to engage residents and promote community involvement.

As the meeting concluded, the council reiterated its commitment to public safety and community engagement, with several upcoming meetings scheduled to address ongoing issues and initiatives. The next safety committee meeting is set for May 13, while the finance committee will convene on March 25.
