Joan Gotchley of the Mayfield Township Historical Society thanked council for annual support, described a capital campaign that has raised $19,000 toward a $25,000 first-phase goal for building upgrades and programming, and asked for outreach; resident Sharon Currier raised concerns about small-business yard signs being left in place beyond the 30-day limit.
Joan Gotchley, president of the Mayfield Township Historical Society, thanked Highland Heights for its annual contribution and described the society’s 50th anniversary activities and educational programs that serve local third-graders. Gotchley reported the society’s capital campaign had raised $19,000 toward a $25,000 goal for electrical upgrades, accessibility improvements and door/window replacement, and asked the city and residents to help recruit volunteers and membership. "I am here to thank the city for your continued annual support of our organization," Gotchley told council.
Resident Sharon Currier of 1016 East Long Drive asked whether there are regulations for small-business yard signs that remain posted for months; Building Commissioner Perno said the time limit is 30 days and will investigate. Police Chief Matejcic suggested residents report violations so officers can photograph and document signs, which can then be forwarded to code enforcement for follow-up.
