New Council Term has Begun!
On December 31, 2017 I had a special Ceremonial Swearing In with family in which the oath of office was administered by wife and the amazing First Lady of North Royalton Ward 3 Marissa Langshaw. Then on January 1, 2018 I was officially sworn into my 3rd elected term of office as North Royalton Ward 3 City Councilman. Special thanks to Ward 4 City Councilman Paul Marnecheck for administering the official oath of office to me!
Greetings Ward 3 Resident,
School is officially back in session. I like to wish all the students who live in Ward 3 a great 2017-2018 school year! The summer went by even faster this year and there a few things to update you on.
Ward 3 Picnic in the Park Event
Back by popular demand. I will be hosting again a Ward 3 Picnic in the Park Event this Saturday September 2nd from 1-3pm at Memorial Park Pavilion #2 located at 14600 State Rd in North Royalton. In the case of rain the event will be held inside the community room at city hall. I invite all North Royalton Ward 3 residents & their families to come out to enjoy a fun afternoon in the park. Filled with FREE food, games, and a chance to meet fellow neighbors too. Fire Truck Pizza Company will be serving up their famous pizza. Special appearance by the North Royalton Fire Department for the kids. All those who attend are encouraged to make a donation at the event to help support a local hometown charity of John Owen’s Adventure (JOA), which is working hard to raise awareness for Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy and other chronic childhood illnesses. They are also working to develop funds for finding a cure, sustaining the quality of life for these affected children and educating the general public about such illnesses. More than 1 million Americans affected by muscle diseases. For more information about the event please contact me by email at ward3@northroyalton.org or call 440-785-4240. Hope to see you there!
Ward 3 Resident,
I have gotten several phone calls and emails from residents on a few issues. So I just want to again give a few important reminders and update you on some items as well.
City of North Royalton Shred Day
City of North Royalton Shred Day will be this Saturday April 22nd from 9:00am to 12:00pm at City Hall 14600 State Road. The event is a public service open to all North Royalton, non-business residents at no cost. Please bring proper identification indicating you are a North Royalton resident.
Ward 3 Resident,
Hope everyone had a great Easter! Just a few quick items to update you on.

I have been getting phone calls and emails from residents about this issue, so here is a quick update. Back in December City Council authorized the Mayor to go out to bid on rubbish & recycling collection since our current contact with Rumpke that expires in May 2017. The bids for a new contract included three different methods for collection: manual pick up as it is currently for both trash and recycling, semi-automation which is manual trash and automated recycling, and full automation for both. At the January 3rd City Council Streets Committee the bids were reviewed. Rumpke, Kimble and Republic Waste Services all bid, and Rumpke was the lowest and best bidder for all three methods. As part of Rumpke’s proposal, manual pick-up would cost $7.3 million dollars total for all five years combined. If the city switched to semi-automation of recycling only and provide residents with a free 65 gallon bin with wheels at the bottom but recycling participation remained the same it would cost $7.7 million dollars. Full automation of both rubbish and recycling would cost $8.2 million dollars. The more the city recycles the less it pays in sending rubbish to the landfill. If recycling in our city increases by just 15% then semi-automation would cost $7.3 million the same cost as the manual pick-up proposal. If recycling participation increased to 30% then semi-automation would cost just about under $7 million dollars. Some important things to note. About half the cities in Cuyahoga County charge their residents a fee for rubbish/recycling collection. North Royalton does not charge any fee to residents for rubbish/recycling collection. About 37 out of 39 cities in Cuyahoga County have fully automated rubbish and recycling collection. Only two cities Brooklyn Heights and Lindale have semi-automation with recycling only automation and rubbish being manual pick up. With all that in mind Council is not in favor of full automation. Read More. City Council is considering a new five year contract with Rumpke for rubbish and recycling collection. The contract would have rubbish collection remain the same as it is with manual pick up. Recycling collection would change to semi-automated pick up where residents can only use a free 65 gallon bin with wheels provided for recycling only. The City Council Finance Committee will be discussing this further at the January 17th Meeting at 6pm and City Council Meeting at 7pm.
