Willowbrook City Council appoints Tom Robinson to Civil Service Commission

In a recent Willowick City Council meeting held on April 1, 2025, the council unanimously approved the appointment of Tom Robinson to the Willowbrook Civil Service Commission. This decision comes after the long-serving member Bill Wittenger moved to Willoughby, creating a vacancy that needed to be filled. Robinson, a resident of Willowick and a recently retired fire chief from Gates Mills, brings valuable experience to the role, having previously chaired the commission.

The council expressed gratitude for Robinson's willingness to step into this important position, especially given the ongoing developments within the fire department and civil service matters. Mayor Manning welcomed Robinson back to the commission, highlighting the significance of his experience in serving the community.

In addition to the appointment, the meeting included updates on city operations. Justin, a representative from the city's waste management team, reported that the city is currently managing approximately 24 tons of garbage per day, with few complaints from residents. This positive feedback reflects the city's efforts to maintain efficient waste management services.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to addressing community needs through effective governance and the importance of experienced leadership in local commissions. As the city moves forward, the council aims to continue fostering a responsive and engaged community.
