Police leadership and several council members said the county plan requires municipalities to staff two dispatchers at all times — a standard the chief described as unique among Ohio counties — and that the county’s approach represents an intrusion on home rule and could impose additional costs.

At the June 23 meeting, a council member summarized SB 86: it would require intoxicating hemp products to be sold only at dispensaries that limit access to people 21 and older; classify intoxicating hemp above specific delta‑9 THC thresholds per serving and per package (0.5 mg delta‑9 THC per serving or 2 mg per package, with related thresholds for other THC forms); exempt topicals such as lotions; permit licensed retailers (breweries, restaurants) to sell THC‑infused drinks at low concentrations (0.42 mg THC per ounce; individual servings capped at 12 ounces); impose a 10% sales tax on these products with revenue to the state; and criminalize driving under the influence of intoxicating hemp products.

Council members said local “smoke shops” had sold low‑THC products and had advertised as dispensaries, prompting enforcement steps. The council clerk prepared a letter of support for Ohio House consideration; members present were invited to sign individually or as a group after the meeting.","Council discussed Senate Bill 86, which would classify and regulate intoxicating hemp products and criminalize driving under the influence of those products; members offered to sign a letter supporting the bill when it reaches the Ohio House.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6188048,"Council sends trailer‑parking and truck‑terminal language to committee after mixed views",2184,332000,2516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064135-7d285945bcab372def81c44a223f3fc4&start=332&end=2516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064135-7d285945bcab372def81c44a223f3fc4/thumbnail_332000.jpg","/articles/6188048/Ohio/Council-sends-trailerparking-and-truckterminal-language-to-committee-after-mixed-views","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188048-e600f54623efa204a5974ba4f4bb088c/orig.mp4?Expires=1777102542&Signature=fXiIkdW9xRCDj7D~ADhHQ6L1s-pGJZ~wWazznuGeuE5~BJYhVUAjGROeyrOx6ONOBGcidBrNPbwMLc5F86mSC-jeQ6ClLvVTuvgJM9EVtelSf2Xn6rew~czcORBhBA4ZEZIfZKpnHjE6q37bNBjNh~lLcv2eR-cZDtH-5JvFPWuSjhV8Jp2PcsYHI4dlXyQ7bIh8aAoZrgMEz9HvS2t4CWp3A9EPtyxkcwJoJBxq8tDdHwGHVs7vrgo-yiDoDWIn02bG5oeHgybtIN8zrRDG2sDdnNVj5h1nlqPI6kMkaIeRJ11sd1A95KLfiJELE8mn-759cdFIMUlEJvjJIOjt~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members discussed recurring complaints about trailers parked in a commercial‑manufacturing lot near the Euclid Avenue corridor and instructed the law director and staff to clarify the city’s code definitions for trailer parking, outside storage and truck terminals.

Council members said the current ordinance language is vague and does not clearly distinguish permissible short‑term parking or ancillary storage from prohibited truck terminals. Some members argued that empty trailers parked in a lot were not the same as a truck terminal, which typically involves loading/unloading and maintenance, while others said the use resembled outside storage that is not permitted as a standalone business in commercial‑manufacturing zones.

The council voted to place the trailer‑parking item into committee so staff and council can clean up definitions and propose clear limits on trailer parking and outside storage. No ordinance was adopted at the June 23 meeting; the committee will return recommendations to council.","Council members asked for clearer ordinance language distinguishing trailer storage, truck parking, and truck terminals in commercial‑manufacturing zones and moved the item to committee for redrafting.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6188053,"Council deadlocks on short‑term rental ban; suspension vote fails",1049,1964000,3013000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064135-7d285945bcab372def81c44a223f3fc4&start=1964&end=3013","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064135-7d285945bcab372def81c44a223f3fc4/thumbnail_1964000.jpg","/articles/6188053/Ohio/Council-deadlocks-on-shortterm-rental-ban-suspension-vote-fails","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188053-6c66066417480382f176a6bc8c6f7487/orig.mp4?Expires=1777102542&Signature=LJuxOd0btoHDBgLfXjPwTLNHU7C~gRDE-qfK~ki9R32lvUkcSAIm~A6thcJiq1EBWWolCBji3G2wQGhr3weiuWFBUW~~3rrJHB-M4gz~qU10jHLtDB1HmToNnsd4oE6p2GqJF39iC9wYS2N8hIE-DMN5hVTMk5aveKaSKS11lL3lYRSm-lfXhjBinTIvximJ10mKPX43bceDOpnUWxoCRzSnoohzjoclSdZKnrVKnbmGJlTmNdkzQc0jNUm6sIpEvHBI1zZJyDQ1UQ~M-MTa0V244gRAo2s~dJCy0Gsiy1hjWoqisGFtuXPJo0nrGXClaCu60DJuzn3tOmj~dssEeg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wickliffe City Council debated an ordinance (Ordinance 2025‑35) to prohibit short‑term rentals in residential districts and voted on suspending the rules to move the measure immediately to third and final reading; the suspension motion failed.

At committee of the whole, members discussed approaches used by nearby cities and whether to prohibit short‑term rentals outright or regulate them. Council members expressed differing views: some said short‑term rentals create burdens on safety services and enforcement, while others urged caution and argued that well‑managed short‑term rentals can be legitimate lodging options. Council President Levon and several members noted other cities’ practices and suggested using other jurisdictions’ ordinances as templates.

On June 23 the council moved to suspend rules and advance Ordinance 2025‑35 to third reading; during the roll call the suspension motion failed (several members voted No).

Finance Director Hunter told the committee the plan is an early draft and the administration will revisit it in August; she said the city could not afford the ladder truck at this time and that proposed state legislation to reduce property tax millage could lower city revenue by “at least $1,000,000” if passed. Several council members, including Councilman Hartstein, said they opposed purchasing the ladder truck now and recommended postponing the purchase.

Fire Chief Grossman said the department will continue to use the current ladder truck “as long as possible” and that if a new vehicle is needed later, the likely next major vehicle purchase would be a squad or engine. Committee members discussed regionalizing fire equipment with neighboring cities and noted existing mutual‑aid arrangements.

The committee asked the administration to break the capital plan down by department and by year and to return with a revised draft. No final purchase decision was made at the June 23 council meeting; the ladder truck item remains under committee review.","City staff presented a five‑year capital improvement plan that includes a $2.2 million ladder truck for the fire department; committee members and Finance Director Hunter said the city cannot afford the purchase now and recommended postponing rather than removing the item.",{"_33":125,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":126,"_41":127,"_43":128,"_45":116,"_47":129,"_49":130,"_51":131,"_53":132,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":133,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":134,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6188063,"Finance committee backs 50% tax-exemption draft for Stanley Steemer, defers Premier CRA",191,1600000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5064135-7d285945bcab372def81c44a223f3fc4&start=1600&end=1791","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5064135-7d285945bcab372def81c44a223f3fc4/thumbnail_1600000.jpg","/articles/6188063/Ohio/Finance-committee-backs-50-tax-exemption-draft-for-Stanley-Steemer-defers-Premier-CRA","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188063-08afe9c2c5a7dceda7ac15cb6870ed54/orig.mp4?Expires=1777102542&Signature=acS8XaMaZ2EsV34ZPM5LIw6Gi-LcEs9ntaYasGDCL-owM4xoo3ozxs6UWY3CwmFXhYKkcYD4gvz68GnXSe~WU1y0hFBQ8tkaGuP2WyTnIV8IKrLCBb~9czwDKA0jkFAtrMTmRPY-F4xeneDPxH5uOdsCZQ1FJAj4CBEdQW0kZ52DnpwModSWVjoEp48op9rAXLZsGNAq338mT6TEwjEcscCI9Ehtl9R6hiNm5Ud5UkbuOb8axmTPLY0msyB9j7nj5X427zMvw3N0qym5cOPf3SdTwYnqUBEBPxQKhjU0NHk9VdFGCfcQCmJRaFBeZdbChAAYGNYmeHtfkKYm7ayuWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Wickliffe Finance Committee recommended creating legislation for a Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) that would offer Stanley Steemer a 50% property tax exemption on decreased property value over 15 years, and declined to approve a separate Premier CRA proposal at this time.

The committee reported at the June 23 City Council meeting that members, including Mayor Sackas and Finance Director Hunter, had reviewed the Stanley Steemer proposal and had no objection. The committee recommended the law director draft legislation to implement the 50% exemption over 15 years.

The committee separately considered a Premier CRA request that would have provided a 100% property tax exemption over 15 years. Committee members noted state rules requiring school-board approval for exemptions above 75% over 10 years and said the school board was likely to challenge approval. Committee members also said the Premier proposal had not passed planning commission and that the city’s CRA council — required by a 2019 resolution to give a recommendation — had not met and the city lacked a current housing officer to advise the process.

Assistant Finance Director Nes told the committee the city had a partial list of five CRA council members but was short two appointed positions. Premier representative Spencer Pazak of 29801 Euclid Avenue attended committee to answer questions and said the project was early-stage and that a CRA exemption would be necessary for participation.

The finance committee reported its recommendations to the full council but did not enact legislation at the June 23 meeting; the recommendation was to have the law director prepare the Stanley Steemer CRA legislation and to defer the Premier CRA until further details and school-board considerations are resolved.","At a June 16 finance committee meeting reported to the City Council June 23, members recommended drafting a Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) for Stanley Steemer that would offer a 50% property tax exemption over 15 years and declined to approve a separate Premier CRA proposal pending more details and possible school-board involvement.","actionData","errors"]
