Living in Northeast, Ohio you never know what to expect when it comes to our weather. Hopefully we have experienced our last of freak snow storms and can enjoy more fun spring activities! This update includes a number of important COVID-19, local government and community events happening this spring. I also have some exciting news to share with you.
Special Announcement
I wanted to share some good news with you all that the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections recently validated my petitions and I am officially on the November 2, 2021 General Election ballot to retake my North Royalton Ward 3 Council seat. Read More.
As I walked and drove around Ward 3, I thought about issues many of you residents shared with me such as paying high taxes and not getting much in return of city services, making our city more business friendly, and adding more checks and balances on the power of our local government. These are all issues I plan to address back on city council. Thank you to those who signed my petitions to get me officially on the ballot.
I plan in the coming months to meet with as many Ward 3 residents as possible, learn more how to best serve the community moving forward, and work even harder than before to address vital issues in North Royalton to get our city back on track regardless of the continued malicious politics in our city.

In early April Governor Mike DeWine announced that the state has simplified the statewide health orders, encompassing all of the individual health orders to date into one overarching order while also making it clear that proms, graduations and other events can occur. The new order found here https://coronavirus.ohio.gov/…/directors-order… contains the previous orders while still placing importance on wearing masks, social distancing and limiting large gatherings. Also Governor DeWine announced yesterday that any Ohioan who has been fully vaccinated will no longer have to quarantine if they are exposed to someone with COVID-19. This health order applies to all adults, except those who are in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or other congregate care settings. Nursing homes and long-term care facilities, including staff and residents, should continue to quarantine following CDC guidance. An individual is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose of Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines or two weeks after the single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
New CDC Masks Guidance
The CDC is updating its guidance on masks, saying that fully vaccinated people can be unmasked when exercising, socializing and dining outdoors in small groups. Fully vaccinated people can also gather indoors with other fully vaccinated people without masks or distancing. Read More.

CLE Market
The City will be partnered with Cle Market to bring an outdoor, artisan-style venue to our community once a month on the City Green. Established in 2020, the popular Cle Market pops up monthly around Northeast Ohio. Now we are bringing the market right here to North Royalton beginning in May. The market showcases 30 vendors, including local businesses, selling high-quality foods, baked goods, art, textiles, flowers and more. Every market will have a local, non-profit partner, so be sure to keep an eye out for who that may be. The non-profit partner for the first market May 8 is the North Royalton Garden Club, which will be featuring its annual plant sale and raffle then. Market dates and times are included on the above flyer. For businesses interested in participating in the market, an application is available on the Cle Market website under vendor application. 
The city Shred Days for this year are scheduled for May 8th and September 18th from 9:00am to 12:00pm at Memorial Park, 14600 State Road here in North Royalton. Due to COVID, residents remain in their vehicles and have shred materials ready to go in their open trunk for the safety of volunteers. Shred materials will be limited to five standard-size boxes or paper bags. Please, no plastic bags or containers that must be returned to the vehicle as this slows the line. Residents must bring proper identification, such as a Driver’s License, to verify residency. Acceptable shred items include financial documents, bank statements, tax returns, credit card statements, expired credit cards, insurance forms and records, junk mail, family records and confidential information. Staples and small paper clips are OK. Items that cannot be shredded include newspapers, phone books, magazines, binders, books, pendaflex folders, food and candy wrappers, wax paper, photographs, napkins and Styrofoam containers. Event is open to all North Royalton, non-business residents at no cost. Funding is provided through a grant from the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District. All documents are shredded on site by Shred-Rite LLC.
City Master Plan Committee Meeting May 11th at 7:00pm at City Hall.
The next North Royalton Produce Market will be May 11th from 2:00pm-3:00pm outside at the York Road Recreation Field Pavilion, 14631 York Road. The other outdoor season dates are May 11th, June 8th, July 13th, August 10th, September 14th and October 12th. Due to COVID-19, it will be necessary for you to remain in your vehicle. Place your last and first name on a piece of paper and display it on your dashboard so it is visible to volunteers. Keep your windows closed for the safety of the volunteers, community and yourself. We are requiring that you clear the trunk of your vehicle prior to the distribution. For safety reasons, volunteers cannot enter your vehicle to load food. Due to safety regulations, you must stay in your vehicle to receive food. The program is specifically geared toward serving the senior citizen population within our community; however, anyone who meets the income criteria, determined by the Federal Government Poverty guidelines, may receive fresh produce from the market. If you are in need of monthly food assistance, call Royal Redeemer Lutheran Church at 440-237-7958 ext. 130 or St Albert the Great Parish at 440-237-6760 for information on their food pantry requirements.
