News Briefs

• There will be a public hearing before the City Planning Commission June 2 on a proposed drive-through pharmacy for a new CVS at the southwest corner of Avalon Road and Chagrin Boulevard (17120 Chagrin).  2 drive-though lanes are proposed on the south side of the building near Avalon Road.  The store and drive-through are proposed to be open 24 hours a day.  Developer is the Zaremba Group.  CVS (11,850 sq. ft.) is currently located across the street near Shaker Hardware in the strip shopping center.  The City recently sold the parking lot (6 parcels, described as “not developable”) behind 3 privately owned retail properties on the southwest corner of Chagrin and Avalon, whose ownership was to be merged, to Bluewater Capital Partners (TWIS Vol. 7, Issues 11 and 12, March 2009).  Bluewater’s principal is also the COO of Allegro Realty, which several years ago [as Crescendo Properties] purchased 7 properties to the west of the firehouse on the south side of Chagrin Boulevard across the street from the strip shopping center.
• The fee the mayor charges for performing weddings is likely to increase from $30 to $50 effective June 1, if approved by City Council.  The fee was last increased under former mayor Judy Rawson.
• Street lighting and tree maintenance assessments will continue at the same rate through 2012 (street lighting is .88 per front foot and tree maintenance is $1.16, except for property owned by the City or the schools).
• According to a memo from Finance Department director Bob Baker to the Finance Committee, which met last week (TWIS did not attend), “Through April 30, expenditures exceeded revenues by $192,541 as opposed to 2008 when expenditures exceeded revenues by $1.018.475 [sic].  In light of the possibility of lower income tax revenue over the remainder of the year and the deficit already in the 2009 budget, the administration is reviewing actions that can be taken to deal with the current economic situation and to balance expenditures with the City’s resources.  Based on financial performance to date, it may be necessary for the City to take additional steps this year.”
• The Landmark Commission will meet with the Architectural Board of Review this week to consider “certificates of appropriateness” for Plymouth Church, 2 houses on Winslow Road, and the Kingsbury Building on the corner of Lee Road and Van Aken Boulevard, which has a hole in one of its awnings.  The property is owned by The Circle Group and is currently for sale, according to http://www.loopnet.com/Ohio/Shaker-Heights-Commercial-Real-Estate/.  One of the Winslow Road houses is on the Board of Zoning Appeals June 2 agenda for a variance to garage regulations.
• The Malvern Garden Club plans to “create a community landscaped entrance to the eastern section of Marchmont and Warrensville Center Roads” and “develop further areas of green spaces of the Malvern area that include Courtland Boulevard, the circle of Marchmont and S. Montgomery and the RTA stops on Shaker Boulevard.”

Planning Department:  2009

According to a “work plan” given to members of the City Planning Commission recently, the following activities are on this year’s agenda:

• Warrensville/Van Aken—hire and manage consultants and public process to develop transit program plan; send out RFQ, interview and select engineer for road work and supervise engineering work, which includes right-of-way acquisition and utility work; manage advocacy work in Washington, D. C., for federal appropriations and conduct resident letter-writing campaign; coordinate with adjacent communities (Highland Hills, Warrenville Heights and Beachwood)
• Shaker Towne Centre—parking meter research and bid (future year as budget allows); work with RTA to finalize design and construction planning of new station at Van Aken/Lee; assistance to the Economic Development Department on parking lot, building demolition and review of building renovations on south side; bus shelter installation in conjunction with RTA at Lee/Chagrin
• Stimulus Bill—manage advocacy in Washington D. C., and Columbus
• Greenspace—explore bike lanes on Lee Road in conjunction with EcoCity Cleveland and Cleveland Heights; tree house sign design installation at Horseshoe Lake Park; grant application for new entry sign and trail extension at Horseshoe Lake Park; research and apply for grant for trail extension along South Park Boulevard to Lee Road; explore funding opportunities for a study and implementation of a “lake-to-lake” bike trail
• Neighborhood Initiatives—apply for grants and/or assist Lomond Association with grant applications to implement plan at Gridley Park
• Miscellaneous—manage gas well coordination (“middle school, country club and other sites”);  “give Public Works info for future repairs on Chagrin, Lee and Center Street [sic] streetscape and City signage”; work with Law Department to develop aesthetic code; update sign at community building and options for new sign at Thornton Park; liaison to John Carroll University regarding 5-year plan; manage new ATT lightspeed box locations; local address update for 2010 census
• Historic Preservation—develop program for $30,000 incentive for historic district on Winslow Road; find a non-profit to take over landmark tour; landmark designation for Marshall compound

City to Contract from Different Transportation Company

Because TC3, with which the City has previously contracted for senior transportation services, is going out of business, the Community Life (Recreation) Department would like to contract with Senior Transportation Connection (STC) beginning July 1, if approved by City Council.

According to a memo from Community Life (Recreation) Department director Pam Quinn, STC currently operates a fleet of 24 ADA vehicles.  They currently deliver services under 8 contracts (14 different sites).  There would be the same number of rides each year for Shaker residents.

The memo notes that since the City receives Western Reserve Area Agency on Aging funding, residents will be asked for donations; they will not be required to pay the ride fare.  According to the memo, “STC offers limited weekend service at the present time.  However, their plans are to expand this service in the coming year.”

Quinn noted that “the Community Life and Health Committee reviewed this and recommended approval, but was unable to vote because a quorum was not present at the meeting.”  TWIS did not attend and did not receive an agenda.

Looking at the Budget

This Week in Shaker continues its examination of the budget of every City department, in alphabetical order.  All information has been taken from the 2009 Preliminary Budget produced by the Finance Department and approved by City Council March 23 except where changes and/or more current information have been provided in writing or via email; and the 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 Preliminary Budgets, which may not reflect actual revenue or expenditures. 

The City’s budget is a public record that can be perused in the Finance Department at City Hall or at the Shaker Heights Public Library.

For the first time since TWIS has been presenting these budgets, there is no detailed information on salaries and wages, just a lump sum for each department.  Presumably, that information may be obtained from the Finance Department. 

2009 revenue: $35,650,669 (general fund)    2009 expenditures: $38,489,751 (general fund)

2008 revenue: $38,437,086                           2008 expenditures: $39,121,163

2007 revenue: $37,882,797                           2007 expenditures: $37,597,569

Following Up . . .

·         ADA Improvements: The City has received a $100,000 reimbursable grant for ADA improvements from the Cuyahoga County Development Department; total project cost is expected to be $127,000, and the match is $27,000.  The City did not receive a grant from the County for Winslow Road improvements.

·         Library Strategic Plan: 100% goals have been “reduced to a realistic 90 percentile range and some items on the timeline were extended due to the renovations of the second floor not being completed.”  Among the deadlines that were extended are restroom remodeling and vending machines.  Some objectives have been deleted: “Teen center visits and registrations decreased because of fire code limits; deposit collections at community day cares and pre-schools are already at capacity; objectives relating to Play and Learn and the schools sharing information are beyond our control.”

• Fields: Courtland Oval - both fields have been graded, seeded and mulched; Chesterton - rough grading of the field took place last week; Shaker Blvd. median strip - field has been tilled and was to have been graded and seeded last week.
• $$: The Fire Department will apply for a non-matching grant from the Fireman’s Fund Heritage Grant Award.  The Department has been pre-approved for up to $6,895 to be used towards fire prevention and education programs.
