Council Update
Highlights from Council Meetings Some highlights from the Council Meetings for the month of March. Council approved Ordinance 19-12 authorizing the transfer of property owned by of the City of North Royalton on Bennett Road to the Cleveland Metroparks for a new public park. Read More. Council approved Ordinance 19-13 regulating short term rentals by a 5-2 vote. I am glad to see this legislation I co-sponsored was passed into law by the majority of Council that will both keep our neighborhoods safe while still respecting property owner rights within reason to make some extra income. No one wants to see residential homes being turned into motels. Read More. Council also approved Resolution 19-28 authorizing the Mayor to enter into a final contract with the Ohio Department of Transportation for the construction of sidewalk from City Hall on State Road to Royalton Road and State Road. Council approved Ordinance 19-30 selling the city’s old compost facility property to the North Royalton City School District for their bus garage. Read More. (Note this is the same property the City has been leasing to the School District the last few years on Royalton Road for their bus garage).
Police Body and Dash Cameras Discussion As Chairman of the Safety Committee at the request of the Council President Antoskiewicz we had discussion on Police Body and Dash Cameras at our March meeting. It was a very positive discussion. The administration is looking at a number of options and will provide a recommendation back to our committee soon which types would be good to go with as a city.

Thank you to the Rotary for all the great things they do in the community! Also Happy Chinese New Year of the Pig!
Senior Center St Patrick’s Day Luncheon On March 18th attended the North Royalton Senior Center St Patrick’s Day Luncheon sponsored by Mayor Stefanik! It was great to see a number of Ward 3 residents having a fun time at the luncheon and catch up with them.
Congressman Gonzalez Office Grand Opening Event On March 19th I attended our Congressman Anthony Gonzalez’s Grand Opening Event of his Strongsville Congressional Office. It was nice to meet him and I look forward to working with him in addressing the needs of our city and Ward 3.
Northeast Ohio City Council Association’s March Forum On March 21st attend the Northeast Ohio City Council Association’s March Forum that featured a panel discussion about Workforce Development, Education, Equity, and Transportation. I learned a lot of great new information.
Regional Leadership Position Announcement Also on March 21st I was elected as the new Treasurer for the Northeast Ohio City Council Association at their Annual Membership Meeting held at the Doubletree by Hilton in Independence. The Northeast Ohio City Council Association (NOCCA) is a regional organization made up of elected municipal, township and village council members that are dedicated to developing solutions towards common regional issues and concerns. There are approximately 300 members representing over 40 communities throughout Northeast Ohio. I have been a member of NOCCA for six years and am excited about the opportunity to be in a regional leadership position with such a prestigious organization. It is my hope to building upon my efforts to work collaboratively with other elected officials throughout Cuyahoga County to advocate for common issues that effect all communities.
Intersection of York Road & Albion Road Traffic I have gotten some complaints recently from Ward 3 residents about the increased traffic and congestion at the intersection of York Road and Albion Road due to the Route 82 construction. Since 2013 and even before my late predecessor Councilman Don Willey has looked for possible solutions for the intersection from a possible widening of the road, adding a lane, or even a new traffic control system all of which then and still remain not economically feasible. When there is possible funding available I have advocated for something to be done. In a few years the traffic pattern will change when Albion Elementary School is demolished and no longer in use due to the new centralized elementary school being built on State Road and Valley Parkway. Which will help decrease congestion. However as Chairman of the Safety Committee I brought the issue up again this time at our March Meeting since the Route 82 widening project has begun and it is worth looking at this again. I requested that the administration see if some possible solutions could be changing the timing of the lights or even having an officer do some traffic control during peak times to help with the flow of traffic. The Safety Director and Police Department Traffic Unit will take a look at this again and return back with some recommendations. I will keep you posted.
Exterior Property Maintenance Reminder As your Councilman I get reports from the Building Department on various violations by Ward 3 property owners, which city building inspectors have found during their inspections. A common violation I start to see this time of the year as the weather gets warmer is of non-compliance with Section 660.14(a) (b) (c) (d) of the Codified Ordinances of North Royalton titled “Weeds and Grass”. A majority of these are properties that appear to be either vacant or in foreclosure, in which the grass has not been cut or the weeds have become overgrown. Here are some helpful reminders about what property owners are required to do for exterior maintenance of their property. Property owners are required to cut any weeds, grass, underbrush and non-edible grass or woody vegetation in excess of 6 inches. Ensure that any ditches are kept clear of any type of grass, underbrush in excess of 6 inches. Exterior of property areas of all premises and lots shall be kept free of any debris, objects, material or conditions which may create a health, accident or fire hazard. The exterior of every structure or accessory structure including fences, shall be maintained in good repair and all surfaces shall be kept painted. Storing abandoned or junk vehicles on your property is not allowed. If you know of any properties like this in our Ward that may have an issue, please report them to the Building Department at 440-582-3000.
Beware of Solicitors and Scams As the weather gets warmer I start to get complaints from residents about people soliciting without permit selling things to curb painting scams. Also I get complaints about folks taping fliers on their mailboxes soliciting as well. If you see someone doing this report them to the North Royalton Police Department on the Non-Emergency Phone # at 440-237-8686 so they can check them out. As you know I fought hard to increase the penalty of people soliciting without a permit and want to keep our neighborhoods safe. Read More. If you do need a reliable address sign the North Royalton Fire Department does them for residents. They offer a reflective metal address sign that can be attached to your mailbox that can be seen by emergency responders year round in any weather. The cost for the sign is just $15.00 to cover the cost of materials. The Fire Fighters will even install the sign for residents if they are unable to do so themselves. Click Here if you are interested purchasing one.

Short-Term Rental Legislation Update Council President Larry Antoskiewicz and I are co-sponsoring Ordinance 19-13 that would provide some basic regulations to short term rental properties in the city. I do not want homes becoming hotels in residential zoned areas but at the same time, want to protect homeowners’ rights to such rentals and do not want the city’s current short-term rental moratorium to be dragged any longer than it needs to be. The legislation is currently on third reading and in the Building & Building Codes Committee for further discussion. Read More.

A positive statistic to note is in 2018 there were 51 deer related car crashes that were reported. This is a decrease from the 95 that that were reported in 2017. Overall the third year of this program went well with minimal issues.
Route 82 Widening Project Update Work continues on widening of Route 82 between W. 130th Street and York Road. I have received some complaints last month about the center line being hard to see. Working with the County and Engineering Department they have re-stripe the center line of the road a few weeks ago to ensure motorist safety. The contractor has a standing order to re-stripe the center line as often as it is needed. Unfortunately, the weather has not always been cooperative. Weather too cold, or too wet, does not allow the paint to dispense or adhere. The replacement water main is approximately 75% installed and should be be completed by mid-March. Installation of the sanitary sewer extension across the street from the Service Center has been completed. Storm sewer work has begun and will continue over the winter months. The large storm culvert near the Service Center has been replaced, and the storm culvert west of Abbey Road is scheduled to be replaced soon. In order to minimize disruption to the traveling public, this work is anticipated to be performed at nighttime. Also beware of speed limit changes from 35mph to 25mph as well. The Cuyahoga County Public Works Department is responsible for construction of this project. Any questions should be directed to their field office in North Royalton at 440-628-9229.

Safety Reminder
The North Royalton Police Department has seen an increase in thefts of items from unlocked vehicles in recent days. Entry is gained into these vehicles by opening unlocked doors and gaining access to steal anything of value. Residents should try to park in well-lit areas and lock all vehicles when left unattended; please remove purses, wallets and anything of value. Most of these thefts are made when criminals sneak around and peek into car windows and open garages. If they do not see anything good, they will move on to someone else’s property. Call the North Royalton Police Department at 440-237-8686 if you see something or someone that looks suspicious.
Ward 3 Recycling Tip of the Month Did you know plastic bags are recyclable? Since our curbside recycling program does not accept plastic shopping bags, most people believe that they can’t be recycled at all. Thankfully, most people are mistaken. When dropped off at many local retail locations, such as Giant Eagle, Lowe’s, Marc’s. Target, Kohl’s and Walmart. Check with your local store to confirm the types of plastic bags and film they will accept as the list may vary.

Dan Langshaw Ward 3 Councilman North Royalton City Council
Happy New Year! 2019 is off to a very busy 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 announcement:
Devoted to Continuing to Serve Ward 3
On January 3rd I pulled my petitions from the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections to seek a fourth elected term on the North Royalton City Council. I want to continue my dedicated service to you my residents and provide trusted veteran leadership for the community on Council. I know there have been some rumors about me possibly running for Mayor or Council President the last few months I like to address. Serving as Mayor or Council President of North Royalton is something I definitely want to do in the near future and would be an honor. Seeking higher local elected office would allow me to help so many more residents and give me the ability to make an even greater difference for my home town. I appreciate all of you who have been urging me to run. However after meeting with my family over the holidays, some personal prayer, and self-reflection I am committed to continuing my service to you my residents as the Ward 3 Councilman. At this point in my life since my young family has grown recently with the addition of my youngest son Derek, my dedication to working to complete some unfinished projects/issues in our ward, and ensuring your voices are heard on Council remain my continued number one priority. Just not the right time yet. However I will reassess again in a few years. As a US Army Veteran service is something that is in my DNA. I truly love what I do! I also think 2020 will be a challenging transition year for our city with a new Mayor, Council President, and majority of Council. As a leader I believe my proven experience, dedication to service and leadership will be an asset to our community during this time! As I a leader I plan to step up to the challenge by hopefully being selected to serve as Council Pro Tem and help mentor the new members of Council with my experience, so together we all can provide great service to our community. The Council Pro Tem position fills in for the Council President when they are absent and is voted on by the new council once they are seated in 2020. Read More. 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 you may have regarding our ward and city’s future to come. See you soon!
Have a great Weekend!

Council Update
Highlights from Council Meetings
Some highlights from the Council Meetings for the month of December. Council passed Resolution 18-124 a resolution strongly urging the Ohio General Assembly to pass Senate Bill 17 and restore back local government funding to municipalities throughout Ohio. Council also approved Ordinance 18-126 approving the Mayor’s appointment of Mark Smith to serve as the new Wastewater Superintendent for the City of North Royalton. Read More.

Council approved Ordinance 18-138 authorizing the Mayor to enter into an agreement with Senior Transportation Connection.
2019 Budget Update
City Council has recently approved the 2019 City Budget. The budget is extremely conservative and solid balanced budget. While dealing with an estimated $900,000 in additional state funding cuts and an economic forecast of a 0.19% decrease in income tax revenue for 2019. As such I do plan to travel to Columbus in the next few months to testify before the Ohio General Assembly to urge them to restore local government funding cuts and invest more funding into repairing our aging infrastructure as well with the next biennium State Budget.

The widening of Route 82 between W. 130th Street and York Road is underway. The contractor for this project, DiGioia Suburban Excavating of North Royalton. OH, has begun to place the temporary pavement along the north side of Royalton Road. This will allow for the shifting of two-way traffic to the north and allow for the widening on the south side to begin. A detour is in place so please follow this detour to avoid traffic delays during construction. The contractor will be working on the large storm culvert just east of Olesia’s Place first, and then proceed to replace the storm sewer system and water main along the project corridor. Expect delays during construction s this is a major widening project anticipated to last until July 2021. Also beware of speed limit changes from 35mph to 25mph as well. The Cuyahoga County Public Works Department is responsible for construction of this project. Any questions should be directed to their field office in North Royalton at 440-628-9229. The anticipated completion is July 2021. This includes work during two consecutive winter seasons. The City understands that this is going to be a major inconvenience. Please be patient as this long anticipated road project gets completed in Ward 3 and the City of North Royalton. Read More.

Ward 3 Economic Development
The North Royalton Planning Commission has recently approved site plans which include two additions on the Shearer Equipment building for new tenants and razing the building that houses Olesia’s Place and the home next door to make way for a multi-tenant building as part of the new 82 Biz Plex here in Ward 3. The proposal for this future 82 Biz Plex also includes razing the building in front of Shearer where Olesia’s Place is located and the home next door to construct a new, single-story freestanding building, 11,520 square feet in size, that can accommodate up to eight new tenants, also for office/light industrial. A new driveway will be installed where the home is currently. The Planning Commission also approved consolidating all three parcels into one. Construction to begin in 2019. As a result the restaurant Olesia’s Place will be relocating to the former Taverne of Richfield in the summer. It’s great to see some re-development in this part of Ward 3 but I am sad see Olesia’s Place go but wish them all the best. Read More.

Ward 3 Recycling Tip of the Month
Do not place holiday lights (tanglers) in your curbside recycling. Tanglers, including holiday lights and power cords, cannot be recycled in your home recycling bin and will cause problems and shut-downs at the local recycling facility. During the Christmas season, retailers including Home Depot and Lowe’s Home Improvement have collection bins for holiday lights. Check at your local store. Christmas Light Source and HolidayLEDs also offer recycling and rebate programs for strings of lights. The Cleveland Metroparks Zoo collects Lights for Lions to support lion and cheetah conservation efforts. Drop off bins are inside the Zoo gates from January 1st-February 15th. Recycle your broken, burned out strings of lights, power strips and power cords during the District’s holiday lights recycling program. The Solid Waste District accepts strands of lights (holiday lights and other strands) at its facility located at 4750 East 131 Street in Garfield Heights. Drop off in our lobby during business hours M-F 8:30am-4:30pm. The recycling program runs December 1st-January 15th. No bags or boxes in the recycling bin, please. Place items loose in our lobby drop box and take all bags, boxes and containers home with you. Artificial trees, solar lights and outdoor spotlights are not accepted. Materials collected are recycled by a local Cleveland company.

Langshaw Addresses Rumors about Possible Run for North Royalton Mayor or Council President
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 3, 2019
(North Royalton, Ohio)— Ward 3 Councilman Dan Langshaw has been rumored for months about a possible run for North Royalton Mayor or Council President. Langshaw 33 years old is one of the few current city elected officials who have successfully won citywide office before. In 2009, at the age of 23 he became the youngest resident in city history to be elected and serve on the North Royalton School Board. Langshaw served on the Board till 2013 and then has been the Ward 3 Councilman ever since.
On January 3rd Councilman Langshaw ended all the rumors with officially pulling his petitions at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections to seek a fourth elected term on the North Royalton City Council for Ward 3 to continue his dedicated service to his residents and provide trusted veteran leadership for the community on Council.
After pulling his petitions Langshaw said “Serving as Mayor or Council President of North Royalton is something I definitely want to do in the near future and would be an honor. Seeking higher local elected office would allow me to help so many more residents and give me the ability to make an even greater difference for my home town. I appreciate all those in the community who have been urging me to run the last few months. However after meeting with my family over the holidays, some personal prayer, and self-reflection I am committed to continuing my service to my residents as the Ward 3 Councilman. At this point in my life since my young family has grown recently with the addition of my youngest son Derek, my dedication to working to complete some unfinished projects/issues in my ward, and ensuring my residents voices are heard on Council remain my continued number one priority. Just not the right time yet. However I will reassess again in a few years.”
A majority of City Council will be termed out of office. Langshaw plans to seek the Council Pro Tem position which is voted on by the new council once they are seated. The Council Pro Tem fills in for the Council President when they are absent. “As a US Army Veteran service is something that is in my DNA. 2020 will be a challenging transition year for our city. As a leader I believe my proven experience, dedication to service and leadership will be an asset to our community! As I a leader I plan to step up to the challenge by hopefully being selected to serve as Council Pro Tem and help mentor the new members of Council with my experience, so together we all can provide great service to our community” said Langshaw.
