Create a working relationship with our county, state and federal elected officials.

It is absolutely imperative that place North Royalton establishes working agreements with neighboring communities. These agreements would help to reduce overall costs various services and recreational programs to our residents. Our city must remove the invisible walls around our community and work in unison with our neighbors.

Let’s not just say these words, let’s take action! Late last summer I represented our city along with representatives from Stow, Berea and Olmsted Falls, to work on the noise and flooding issues pertaining to the Ohio Turnpike. By “working together to make a difference,” we were able to receive a commitment from the Ohio Turnpike, within a matter of eight months, to address the noise and flooding problems.

I have spoken to the Mayors of Broadview Heights and Parma about joining forces to explore the option of providing trash collection and recycling services under one master contract. Although there is still work to be done, the initial findings are exciting. Our city could save thousands of Dollars annually. Such a contract would have to be competitively bid for, utilizing the combined buying power of these three great cities. Unfortunately, such an idea hasn’t been explored in the past, but my Administration would make this and other joint community efforts a top priority for North Royalton’s future.
