Resident Nimet Jeruzalmi was sworn in as the newest member of the Village Planning Commission during a ceremony at the February 8 council meeting. Nimet has served on the Storm Water Advisory Board.

Ms. Jeruzalmi is a proud 57-year resident of the Village, where she and her late husband raised four children. She is excited to serve the community she loves, and is committed to seeing it thrive and prosper.

Congratulations on your appointment, Nimet! We're happy to have you!

Residents and visitors to the Village Courts will notice a few changes, not the least of which include new card reader access points. New signage, striping and verbiage in the Village Code will now refer to the courts in generalized terms to include both tennis AND pickleball courts. Under the new rules, permission to use the courts is granted to anyone holding a key card, or as authorized by the Village Manager. Each group using a court must have at least one cardholder as part of the group. Additional rules for court use can be found via the website link below.

March's banner (pictured above) encourages residents to look out for each other. With this year's warmer weather, we're seeing more cyclists, pedestrians and dogwalkers than usual for this time of year. Amberley Village reminds drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and dogwalkers to be on the lookout for one another as we're all important to each other's safety!

Amberley Village recognized two employees for 25 years of service, and said goodbye to a third as he retired following more than three decades with the Village. The recognition program is part of a new initiative by the Village Manager to strengthen employee retention and loyalty by shining a light on the positive assets Village employees bring to our Community.

The next National Prescription Drug Take Back Day will be Saturday,April 22, 2023. National Take Back Day is a safe, convenient, and responsible way to dispose of unused or expired prescription drugs. 

Amberley Village will participate from 10 – 2 p.m., allowing residents and neighbors to drop off unused or expired prescriptions. Please note that unused prescriptions must be removed from prescription bottles and placed in plastic zip-lock bags before they can be accepted.

The DEA will also accept vaping devices and cartridges at any of its drop-off locations during Take Back Day. It is important to note that DEA cannot accept devices containing lithium-ion batteries. If batteries cannot be removed prior to drop-off, DEA encourages individuals to consult with stores that recycle lithium-ion batteries.

Check DEA’s official Take Back Day website below for more information. Amberley Village is a year-round collection site.

Amberley Village Tax Department reminds residents of required policies and procedures related to income tax. Please note that ALL residents are required to file a return, even if no tax is due or you have no taxable income.

Reporting issues with Rumpke pickup to the Village Administration can assist in faster resolution and helps us better serve our residents.

Amberley Village works closely with Rumpke and our residents to ensure regular, reliable pickup for trash and recycling services. However, there are times when pickup services are missed or homes are unintentionally skipped.

While this is definitely the exception rather than the rule, we have received an increase in reports of missed pickups. This is largely due to workforce challenges that often result in changes to regular route drivers.

If you experience a lapse in service, please contact Carolyn Wallis in the Administration Office at 513-531-8675, or cwallis@amberleyvillage.org. Carolyn tracks service requests and works to assist residents in resolving any issues with Rumpke services, and can often expedite resolution to your issue. While we hope it never happens to you, please take a moment to let us know if your trash or recycling has not been picked up.

Sgt. Tim Schmidtgoessling (above left photo, center) and Sgt. Ryan Shaw (above right photo, center) display their CLEE certificates flanked by Chief Charles C. Chandler, LEF Chair & President (left) and Chief Thomas Pyle II, CLEE (right).

Two Amberley Village Sergeants recently graduated from the Certified Law Enforcement Executive (CLEE) program hosted by the Law Enforcement Foundation. This rigorous program is a formal leadership training program open only to those who rank sergeant or higher and wish to progress to executive levels in their agency. Sergeants Tim Schmidtgoessling and Ryan Shaw studied ten different learning modules over 14 months and gave oral presentations at the conclusion of the course. They must now maintain their CLEE certification by re-certifying every three years by demonstrating involvement in: law enforcement and executive experience, formal education, continuing education, and professional related experience, including professional service, community service, schedule speaking and instruction, articles published and honors received. Congratulations to Sergeants Schmidtgoessling and Shaw on this outstanding accomplishment!
