🗳️ Cleveland Heights rushes charter amendments to November ballot. City Council introduced the first set of proposed changes that would clarify the balance of powers between the elected mayor and council. Despite criticism about the rushed timeline, officials scheduled two public hearings this week before voting on whether to forward the amendments to the Board of Elections by September 4. Some Charter Review Commission members expressed disappointment that certain recommendations, including ranked-choice voting, weren't included in this "first bucket" of amendments. Council President Tony Cuda defended the process, calling the proposed changes "relatively minor tweaks" after 21 hours of review meetings.
