Live-streamed Council Meetings
I want every resident to be informed and have the opportunity to participate in our meetings. I have worked tirelessly to bring Council meetings to your living room. The only reason Council meetings are Live-streamed is because of my efforts.
This has not been easy! My efforts have not had the support of City leadership and I am going to continue working to allow you to participate in the meetings remotely. In addition I hope to make Committee meetings live-streamed as well.
I am also working to make the City website more user-friendly so documents and summaries of meetings are easily accessible. Again this has met resistance with top leadership but I think it's important for you. In the meantime I will continue summaries of Council meetings on my Blog
Increased safety!
I am committed to Pepper Pike's safety by strengthening our police force.
Just this past year I have voted to renew our contracts with Axon for updated police body cams, purchased 2 new police vehicles, and added to our police force!
In the Spring of 2026 we will have 20 fully trained police officers on the force (up from 17 just 4 years ago) :)
Keep pepper pike the place we all want to live :)
