Please Attend Cleveland Heights’ Charter Review Commission Meeting this Thursday

Leave a Comment

by Susan Efroymson

This Thursday evening, April 19th, from 7-9:30pm the Charter Review Commission of Cleveland Heights will be holding an open community meeting at the Community Center, 1 Monticello Blvd.

Civic-minded residents should attend!

Background: Cleveland Heights currently uses a City Manager to perform the executive functions of the city (actually running the city). The City Manager is not directly elected by the residents; rather, the city council hires this person. All 7 city council members are “at-large” – each is elected by all residents in the city. The mayor and vice mayor are selected by the other council members for two-year terms that are largely symbolic. The current City Manager is Tanisha Briley. In business, the equivalent would be that the shareholders (residents) vote to elect a board (council) who select and hire a CEO (City Manager) to run the company.

The advantage of using a city manager is that they have professional experience at running a city, and are dedicated to that job (city council members are part time).

At this time, the Charter Review Commission is evaluating whether this structure is still the best method for Cleveland Hts, and is considering alternatives.

Some items being considered:

  • Instead of all residents selecting all council members, the city will be divided into “wards”, and each ward will elect its own member. There would be 4 wards, and there would still be 3 at-large (city-wide) members. The motivation for this is to ensure that various neighborhoods have a council member who represents their interests, which may not be the same as the rest of the city.
  • A directly elected mayor with more influence (“Strong Mayor”). A strong mayor would run on a platform which gives them a mandate when elected. This helps them set the priorities and agenda for the city, representing the will of the residents. This option does not replace the City Manager; the CM still actually runs the city. Since the Mayor is not a council member, if and when they can vote on council matters is a variable. Shaker Heights is a model of Strong Mayor and City Manager (the “Hybrid Model”).
