Thank you for signing up to receive the City of Highland Heights e-newsletter. This will serve as a meaningful way for us to provide you with city news and brief updates in between our newsletters. Please spread the word to your fellow neighbors and friends to sign up for our e-newsletter. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who came out to vote in the General Election on November 8th. While I am disappointed Issue 58 did not pass, I remain committed to being fiscally responsible, ensuring we adhere to our budget, and closely monitoring expenses. I am happy to report the Lander Road Extension Construction project is complete. I want to thank the Lander residents for their patience during this long process. We hope that all of our residents are pleased with the results of this much needed improvement to our city, as well as all other improvements that took place in our community this year. Due to the ongoing supply chain issues, several sidewalk projects that were scheduled to be completed this year, will now be pushed to Spring 2023. Again, thank you for your continued patience. While our revenues for 2022 are close to being down $500K, I am still pleased we were able to maintain all city services and programs in an efficient manner. I commend my Administration as well as City Council for their diligent work throughout the year. As we enter the festive season and prepare to begin a new year, I would like to take this opportunity to wish each of you much enjoyment as you gather with your families and friends, and have a safe and healthy holiday season and a Happy New Year.

Chuck Brunello, Jr. Mayor/Safety Director

From the Highland Heights Police Department The Highland Heights Police Department officers practice a community-oriented method of policing. This approach employs a partnership between the officers and the community to identify crime concerns and jointly develop solutions. Effective community policing reduces the fear of crime and improves the City’s quality of life. Whether you’ve lived in your home for two weeks or two years, use this helpful list to make your home a safer place for you and your loved ones. If you are like most homeowners, you may not know about all of the things that would make your home vulnerable. This Home Security Checklist helps assess possible weaknesses. The boxes you mark “no” indicate areas you can improve to make your home more secure.     Our department offers a Residential Security Survey, that is a free service, providing safety and security surveys to assist residents in protecting their homes from intrusion. The survey includes an inspection of the residence by Crime Prevention Officers. Contact the Police Department to make an appointment, 440-442-8825.

From the Highland Heights Building Department This time of year, everyone is busy decorating either inside or outside for the upcoming Holiday Season. As a reminder, check all your lighting cords for any type of cracking or missing wire insulation. Also, exterior lighting should be plugged into a GFCI protected outlet. With the cold temperatures upon us, remember to check your furnace filter to make sure it is clean so that air can flow thoroughly.

From the Highland Heights Service Department Make sure you have checked the condition of our mailbox. Consider installing a snow shield to protect your mailbox from snow damage when streets and driveways are being plowed.
