October Council Meeting Summary

Dear U-Heights neighbors,

City Council held the regular October meeting on Tuesday. See the agenda and supporting documents here. Here are some highlights:

Presentation to residents: GG Land Group OCTOBER 16 7:00 PM University Club
It was brought up at council meeting that a mailing went out to residents Tuesday for a public meeting this Thursday evening. (I didn't see the letter until after the meeting) I strongly encourage anyone who can attend Thursday do so. City Council HAS NOT approved any plans. When GG group came to council last month we suggested they hold a public meeting.
Want a Street Tree?
Councilor Virginia Miller will submit  a 2015 Trees Please Grant. If you would like to receive a tree for planting in the city right of way at your property contact her at virginia@university-heights.org. She has lots of interest already so don't delay.
Farewell to Chief Ron Fort
Tonight was Chief Fort's final meeting as head of the University Heights police. Council and the public wished him well, and Mayor From presented him with a key to the city. Ron's final official day will be October 24th.
