Greetings Ward 3 Resident,
School is officially back in session. I like to wish all the students who love in Ward 3 a great 2016-2017 school year! The summer went by so fast this year and there is a number of things to report.
Ward 3 Picnic in the Park Event
I will be hosting a Ward 3 Picnic in the Park Event this Saturday September 3rd from 1-3pm at Memorial Park Pavilion #2 located at 14600 State Rd in North Royalton. In the case of rain the event will be held inside the community room at city hall. I invite all North Royalton Ward 3 residents to come out to enjoy a fun afternoon in the park. Filled with FREE food, games, and a chance to meet fellow neighbors too. Special appearance by the North Royalton Fire Department for the kids. Residents will also have an opportunity to explore all the recent improvements to Memorial Park such as the new fountain by the pond, playground, and city hall. Donations are welcome at the event to help support MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) which mission is to improve and help save the lives of the more than 1 million Americans affected by muscle diseases.

City Update
2016 Operation North Royalton Cares Program
Thank you to all those who donated to the Seventh Annual Operation North Royalton Cares Program. This years program was able to provide school supplies to 61 children in our community in need and the North Royalton Salvation Army Unit provided $335.00 in clothing vouchers to be used at its store in Strongsville.
Medical Marijuana Moratorium
The Ohio General Assembly recently passed House Bill 523 which legalize medical marijuana in the state of Ohio. The law officially goes into effect September 8th. When City Council returns back into session on September 6th we will pass what is expected to be a six month moratorium before the law goes into effect. The moratorium would prevent medical marijuana businesses from opening in North Royalton during that six month period and would give the city more time to study this new state law so we can make the best policy decisions in the interest of the community as a whole. House Bill 523 authorizes local governments to establish some of their own marijuana regulations. Local governments can restrict locations where marijuana is cultivated, process and sold, or they can ban the growing and sale of marijuana altogether. However, local governments can’t stop patients from using medical marijuana. The state law already provides some restrictions on medical marijuana. Such as no one can grow, process or sell marijuana within 500 feet of a school, church, library, playground or park. Also, no one is allowed to grow marijuana in their homes. I will keep you posted on this issue. Read More.
Around Ward 3
11th Annual North Royalton Pet Carnival
On August 7th attend the 11th Annual North Royalton Pet Carnival sponsored by the North Royalton Animal Hospital. It was nice to see some fellow Ward 3 residents and furry constituents too. Read More.
North Royalton Community Festival Parade
On August 21st marched in the North Royalton Community Festival Parade. I hope everyone enjoyed the Community Festival, parade, and fireworks!
Back to School Safety Reminders

Schools buses are back on the roads and students will be crossing streets throughout Ward 3 to catch these buses. Please be mindful of the posted speed limits of 25mph in the residential areas of our ward.Also maintain the appropriate distance away from buses when they come to a stop. Also when parking on city streets to wait for the school buses. Do not park your vehicle within 30 feet in front of a stop sign.
