A meeting will be held this morning at 11 in Westlake Mayor
Clough’s office to discuss a grant the
four Westshore cities received to study a regional fire department.
The State of Ohio Local Government Innovation Fund (LGIF)
rejected the first grant application in December 2012. In June 2013, they approved a second request
for $100,000 that was based on revised cost/benefit figures.
In November 2012 Bay Village voters rejected Charter
amendments to make way for regional civil service. Mayor Clough and Mayor
Sutherland have both stated it is possible to move forward without amending
city charters.
