Greetings Ward 3 Resident,
The year is off to a good start here in city government with much to report below. Before I get into more details I just wanted to share with you the following announcements:
Committed to Serving Ward 3 for Another Term
On January 5th I pulled my petitions from the Board of Elections to seek a second elected term on the North Royalton City Council. Read More. I am committed to continuing to serve the over 5,500 residents that call Ward 3 home. I want to keep the positive momentum taking place here in North Royalton through my experience, dedication and proven record of service to my residents. Over the next several months I will be going door to door throughout our entire ward to meet with residents. I look forward to hearing what concerns or suggestions residents may have regarding our ward and city’s future to come. See you soon!

Fight Against Oil Drilling Update
Back in December the city received good news that the Ohio Oil and Gas Commission had ruled in our city’s favor regarding the mandatory pooling case involving Cutter Oil Company.The commission ruled that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) should have considered the city’s serious concerns with past safety issues at Cutter wells in the city. However, last month ODNR announced intentions to appeal the commission’s ruling. The case will head to the Common Pleas Court of Franklin County to be decided. I will keep you posted on this issue.

Regional Deer Control Update
Last year Council unanimously passed Resolution 14-116, a resolution requesting the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) to exercise its authority to control deer population in Cuyahoga County. Specifically the Ohio Revised Code 1531.02 states that the “ownership of, and the title to, all wild animals in this state, including deer, is in the state”. Since then Mayor Stefanik has been urging fellow mayors in Northeast Ohio, through the Cuyahoga County Mayors and Managers Association, to work together get the state to address this issue.
