Speaker Terry Lazar, who said he owns a business on Lakeland Boulevard and is building a new building nearby, asked about the status of a tax-abatement application and said he had been told building prior to receiving an abatement could jeopardize eligibility. The mayor replied that the applications were not yet discussed but that they had been placed on the committee agenda for consideration that night and would be scheduled in finance committee.

At the end of the meeting the mayor announced a finance committee meeting for Monday, June 16, at 7 p.m. to discuss the Premier Development CRA application, the Stanley Steemer CRA, and the five-year capital plan. He also noted a 2026 tax-budget public hearing scheduled for June 23 before the council meeting.

A resident and Fire Chief Grossman raised the issue during new-business discussion about the pond at the Laredo (Old School Village) development, saying the bank dropped sharply and that, with water in the bottom, the slope could present a hazard for children who visit the library’s outdoor programs. The mayor said he had spoken with Laredo and the developer’s representative and that, while the planning commission found no fence requirement in the developer’s approvals, Laredo agreed to place a temporary five-foot black chain-link fence this week and to install a nicer permanent fence around the library in the fall.

Councilman Jaworski and Councilman George emphasized the safety concern; Jaworski said the grade was steep and the area was not a finished play area. The mayor said the developer had previously not been required to fence similar ponds, but that the company offered a temporary solution and a permanent fence later this year.

Discussion only: the council added the item to new business and received assurances from the mayor and the developer that temporary and later permanent fencing will be installed; no formal ordinance or enforcement action was taken June 9.","After a resident and the fire chief raised safety concerns about a steep, dry detention pond near the library at the Laredo (Old School Village) development, the mayor said the developer agreed to install a temporary black chain-link fence this week and a permanent perimeter fence by fall.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6209680,"Wickliffe council refers short-term rental rules to committee after members report complaints",318,2773000,3091000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3734158-ae12c1985af3f3bd754a53152c5f9d89&start=2773&end=3091","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3734158-ae12c1985af3f3bd754a53152c5f9d89/thumbnail_2773000.jpg","/articles/6209680/Ohio/Wickliffe-council-refers-short-term-rental-rules-to-committee-after-members-report-complaints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6209680-e4bf407a9855b7d12a6a2015275b4814/orig.mp4?Expires=1771188380&Signature=HZxo6y1XH9829U0tVKRbM8PD0l01HWYbGOEF9Ozj-vuu0EO1zV3cmKc6aqWH08GtvCq~CBXjSq0Womq6WJOLeHyW56ILpQP~k5XSL9NxYb2sqyJl4u3d0SiczCTEI5U-YsSZmBdi1nkgTZt4x82juh9hmeWf9M5uB6~PR5wIOUtkxxv9oW8DJQ3v9NHkYonsiBL1PIefgZe1XdVANEyYpJEBm~h4XjyluJihTXXNKLsQ9DbVOMtOx4Pk0wDZA6s1AAUj4oKDjsXu4MJOoXo3~cVXt3lYslg42BVMhRMoXbHrQ~2iSk5DncfODECxDYb2Aik~ISLMutV4pK6TbP5VTA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WICKLIFFE, Ohio — The Wickliffe City Council on June 9 placed short-term rental regulations into the Committee of the Whole after council members described local complaints, enforcement activity and examples in nearby cities.

Councilman Gerhardstein raised the issue after noting that Mayfield Heights and Eastlake had adopted ordinances restricting short-term rentals. The city’s building commissioner said staff have issued several cease-and-desist letters to properties operating as short-term rentals and said he “fully support[s] anything legislation that you can put on the books for that.”

Council members discussed options used by other municipalities. Councilman Newhart said Mayfield Heights uses a 30-day minimum stay rule — “you cannot reside in a home for less than 30 days as a short term rental” — and said he reviewed that city’s ordinance and had no issues with it. The council agreed to place short-term rentals on the Committee of the Whole so members and staff can review sample ordinances and draft potential local rules.

Discussion only: the council did not vote on an ordinance on June 9; the item was assigned to committee for further study and possible future legislation.","Councilmembers discussed short-term rentals June 9 after neighboring cities adopted ordinances and local staff reported enforcement activity; the council sent the topic to the Committee of the Whole for review and potential legislation.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_46":105,"_48":106,"_50":107,"_52":108,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":109,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":110,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6209685,"Wickliffe police warn NextGen 911 shift could raise local dispatch costs",550,1019000,1569000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3734158-ae12c1985af3f3bd754a53152c5f9d89&start=1019&end=1569","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3734158-ae12c1985af3f3bd754a53152c5f9d89/thumbnail_1019000.jpg","/articles/6209685/Ohio/Wickliffe-police-warn-NextGen-911-shift-could-raise-local-dispatch-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6209685-013479170f3ba5208b3517ff8d39b660/orig.mp4?Expires=1771188380&Signature=oL-NSxBJ0SzwL9zMTeMk-Jm5Gt20ci7CDRBBN5UaiMcSYSbLTbGRp9gT5W1M~j9vwxMOkhOsfxODgN2b-3e6Vyk7MvCf77pOKjIWllpbSO44vCnAIt4yz2nWFRJDQqgvbnCX6O89CND0lRj0b4NCmvYW5yGhIKeBBsPx~AhCE1SiKzUGKhYzgyK8xg99KYQsIWzYQ5JY69CyRcGl8if09ktnstYIw4D29SVVMb3vOznF6~fg7x5BoDoNBQCiNfqCEdsZwPrXPevkltvBfNBbMVXp7s2iuLtraGcetDOWoasVlgPbUUminAny1o4NWq3VZMcf99jpCyxlyH~2yWStTQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","WICKLIFFE, Ohio — Police Chief Bush told the Wickliffe City Council on June 9 that a planned NextGen 911 upgrade for Lake County would route cell-phone 911 calls directly to the city’s dispatch center and require a minimum of two on-duty dispatchers, a change that the chief said will increase local personnel and overtime costs.

The change could shift state funding from Lake County to Wickliffe, Bush said, but he warned the amount expected for Wickliffe — roughly $30,000 to $35,000 annually — would not cover the additional staffing costs. “It’s gonna cost the city,” he said, adding municipalities will get the money when the calls are routed to them rather than through the county.

The topic matters because the council may be asked to adopt a resolution supporting the NextGen plan at a future meeting; Chief Bush told council members that legislation and a resolution would be presented to the council at the next meeting and that the city is already partly prepared for the technical transition.

Chief Bush described the current process: Lake County dispatchers now answer cell-phone 911 calls, determine caller location and then transfer important calls to local municipal dispatch centers. Under NextGen 911, “they’ll go straight to Wickliffe,” Bush said, and the city will “be taking all those” calls directly. He said Wickliffe has purchased upgraded equipment and is “one step ahead” of most Lake County dispatch centers but stressed the personnel implications: if the county requires a two‑dispatcher minimum at all times, the city will need to hire and train additional staff and pay more overtime.

Councilwoman Koski asked whether the additional state funding would cover the costs; Bush replied, “No. I don’t want to say minimal, but it’ll be between 30 and $35,000 a year.” He said Lake County currently receives about $500,000 per year from the state for 911 services, which would decrease when municipal centers begin answering cell-phone calls directly.

Council members pressed procedural and authority questions, including which body mandates the two-dispatcher minimum. Bush said a committee created by the state enacted the plan and that Lake County’s committee is recommending the requirement; he also noted the state itself previously considered one dispatcher sufficient. He said municipalities would still need to secure staffing solutions, including part-time hires, but cautioned those shifts may be difficult to staff for overnight hours.

Bush said other area chiefs have opposed the requirement; he and other chiefs who studied Erie County’s experience reported that conversion to NextGen ran smoothly there and did not produce a large increase in call volume. He also noted the plan requires countywide approval by population: “When you guys vote on this, it has to pass by 60% of population for this to go into effect,” he said.

Discussion only: the council received the briefing and did not vote on a policy change at the June 9 meeting. Chief Bush said a resolution supporting the committee’s plan will be presented as legislation at an upcoming meeting; no formal council action on NextGen occurred that night.","Police Chief Bush told the Wickliffe City Council on June 9 that a countywide NextGen 911 change would route cell-phone calls directly to municipalities, shift related state funding to cities, and could require hiring more dispatchers — a cost the city says the modest expected funding will not cover.","actionData","errors"]
