mayor’s messageFirst, I would liketo congratulate ourgraduating seniors fromhigh schools, colleges anduniversities and extendon behalf of the Cityour very best to you asyou embark upon highereducation or your careers. We hope that youwill enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime momentwith your families and friends and withoutany tragedy. It seems that we often hear whenthe jubilation of graduation results in overindulgence of alcoholic beverages which canresult in loss of life. Please use common sense,enjoy this great time of your life and may it bethe beginning of a wonderful future for eachof you.Looking Back at Memorial DayMemorial Day was an outstanding time ofremembrance by this community. The numberof people who lined the parade route and thenattended the solemn ceremony at BrecksvilleHighland Cemetery was remarkable. I thankeach and every one of you for attending andthose who participated in this year’s parade.It truly was one of our largest gatherings aswe remembered the 60th anniversary of theArmistice that ended the Korean War, thecoming of the 150th anniversary of the Battleof Gettysburg in July, and the service of thegreat men and women of this communitywho went off to war and made the ultimatesacrifice. We remembered those who servedthis country and by the grace of God returnedand became integral parts of our community,and also those who came back from war withwounds to their bodies or minds and todayare still impaired with limited quality of life.We remembered those still missing in action,the POWs and, of course, we pray for thebrave men and women who are in harm’sway each and every day defending our idealsboth here and abroad. We were pleased tohave Congressman David Joyce participatein the parade and extend Memorial Daygreetings at the ceremony. Also attending wereall members of City Council and membersof the Brecksville-Broadview Heights CitySchool Board. We were also honored by thepresence of a graduate of the United StatesMilitary Academy at West Point, who 48hours before our ceremony graduated and wascommissioned a Second Lieutenant. DavidG. Hamski, a graduate of BBHHS in 2009,was our Memorial Day speaker. We offered toSecond Lieutenant Hamski and all who haveserved this country, our full faith and trust intheir courage, dedication and love of country.Also present and honored were MidshipmanJackson P. Morgan, Naval Academy Classof 2016 and Cadets A. J. Cook and BradleyErnst, Class of 2016 at West Point.We were again honored by World War IIveterans – First Lieutenant Homer Farr andCaptain Ben Jeremiah, U. S. Army Air Corps,who led the Pledge of Allegiance. We thankthe Brecksville-Broadview Heights HighSchool Marching Band, Brecksville AmericanLegion Excelsior Post 196 and the Women’sAuxiliary, our Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts,the Brecksville Women’s Club and all thosewho participated in the parade and ceremony.Finally, we recognize the names of thoseburied at our cemetery who perished in thewars our nation has fought since the AmericanRevolution. We made special note of DennisRust, a Brecksville young man who died inKorea, and we remembered that one yearago, Gold Star Mother Paula Kancler spokewhen we unveiled the monument for SergeantDennis E. Kancler, our Marine who died inAfghanistan in 2011. Lest we never forget.Our cemeteries and City grounds all lookedwonderful on Memorial Day because of theefforts of our Horticulture Department andour City’s Beautification Committee whotogether with our summer employees, design,plant and maintain our flowers and shrubsthroughout the community. Thank you foryour efforts and for beautifying our City.Summer Is Finally Here!Summer was teasing us in May butnow it is time to sign up for the summerprograms at the Community Center and theHuman Services Center. I encourage yourparticipation throughout the summer and intothe fall. Please remember, both at work andplay, to be safe and don’t forget that accidentsat home can be avoided with proper care andattention. I also caution you when traveling,to always be aware of your surroundings anddo not make yourself an easy victim for theftand other crimes that often occur as a result ofcriminals taking advantage of those traveling.Please use caution during whatever you aredoing throughout the summer.The Color OrangeOur road program is well underway; manyphases of our concrete repairs are completedand soon we will begin repaving our asphaltroads. I continue to commend and thank ourservice workers who do the bulk of our roadprogram. We are one of a few cities who paveour streets with asphalt by utilizing our ownmanpower and equipment. We contract outthe milling of the current surface but replacethe milled area with asphalt with our owncrews. We also do smaller concrete repairs,mainly sidewalks, aprons, areas around catchbasins, as well as crack-filling and othergeneral maintenance to our roads, saving ourtaxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollarsin manpower and equipment rental eachyear. We are in the process also of replacingall traffic signs to comply with the newfederal reflective regulations as well as heightregulations. (Yes, that is why the stop signsare tall.) Each year our roads are reviewed andgraded and those receiving the lowest gradeare the ones first repaired. In locations wherewe are repairing concrete roads we often dojust sections of the roadway at a time to limitthe inconvenience to the residents and at thesame time “spread the dollars” so that we canattend to as many streets as possible in areasthat are in less than optimum condition.Please have patience with our workers andunderstand that there may be delays, butwhen the work is complete you will have yearsof use that will be uninterrupted. I commendService Department Director Ron Weidigand his staff as well as thank the Streets &Sidewalks Committee of City Council fortheir support throughout the road programseason.There’s a Knock at the DoorRecently, residents have expressed concernregarding door-to-door solicitations. I haveasked our Assistant Law Director Sergio2

1. Does the facility require up to date inoculations for animals?2. What is the procedure if your dog gets sick or injured?3. Do the dogs socialize with one another? If so, are they temperamenttested and properly supervised?4. Are unneutered animals accepted as boarders? (Unneutered animalsmay cause some aggression problems.)5. If your dog is on medication, will it be properly administered?6. What are the qualifications of the owner of the facility regardingdog behavior?7. Is the facility clean?The questions for boarding cats would be similar although I do notknow of any kennel that allows cats to socialize with each other.If you are appointing a family member or hiring someone to housesit with your pet, here are some recommendations:1. Make sure the sitter knows and is familiar with your pet and rousafety& serviceCritter Corner…Who Cares for your pet when you are awayPets are family members. Many dog and cat owners feel this way.Whether you have a cat or dog, you need to make sure when away fora long weekend or vacation that a responsible and knowledgeable personis taking care of your pet.If your dog is to be left at a boarding facility, here are a few questionsthat one needs to ask.Security Awarenessat Home and AwayEvery now and then an incident will remind us that burglars can andwill enter our homes. They are that brazen. Imagine getting up in themiddle of the night and discovering someone in your house! Many timesthis happens because residents do something as absentminded as leavingthe car in the driveway unlocked with their keys and/or garage dooropener in the car.Or, during the day, while you answer the front door and a con manengages you in conversation, his accomplice sneaks in the back and “takesyou to the cleaners.”You have better things to do than have the friendly detectives of ourBrecksville Police Department pay you a visit.Remember, even though Brecksville is one of the safest communities inNortheast Ohio* this can and does happen, especially if you take yourpersonal security for granted.* Ranked 3rd in the June issue of Cleveland Magazine.tines. It is important for thesitter to know the pet’s name.2. The pet sitter should never leta dog off leash when walkingor taking the dog out.3. Make sure the name andnumber of your vet, as well asan emergency vet is posted onthe refrigerator.4. Be specific on feeding, pills, etc.Cliffette Thacker, Animal Warden has seen numerous experienceswith dog and cat sitters over the years. Often the outcome has beensad. She has received a number of calls from pet sitters that have “lost”a dog or cat. One woman did not even know the name of the dog shewas sitting.Another person was bitten when she forced a dog through an indoorelectronic fence. Someone else “lost” the dog three times in one week.Another caregiver took a cat home rather than stay at the cat’ s home.Sadly, the cat escaped outside in that new neighborhood never to befound.Always have identification on your pet. Take care when planning atrip without your pet.Questions, comments, suggestions? Call Cliffette at526-8900.Power Outage?The severe storm season is underway and therefore an occasionalpower outage may occur. Remember that when there is a power outageBrecksville residents should call the Illuminating Company directly at1-800-589-3101 or 1-888-544-4877. They are the experts at getting youback on line.PLEASE DO NOT CALL the Brecksville Police Department. An influxof power outage calls prevents the dispatcher from receiving and processingtrue emergency calls as rapidly as possible.Also, consult the City’s Emergency Preparedness Manual.City Offices ClosedBrecksville City Hall, the Service Department and the HumanServices Center will be closed on Thursday, July 4.The Community Center will be open from 10 am to 5 pm.Calls to the Service Department and other City offices that cannotwait until July 5 can be directed to the Police Department’s non-emergencynumber which is 526-8900.Trash and recycling pick up is postponed until July 5.There will be no Meals on Wheels service.12

With warm weather finally here dogs tend to spendmore time outdoors and therefore a reminder of Brecksville’s regulations may be of help.A dog may not bark for an unreasonable and/or frequent period of time during the late evening,overnight and early morning hours, namely 10:00 pm to 7:30 am.Non stop barking during the day is prohibited.Dogs are not permitted to run loose off the owner’s property.

Brecksville City Ordinance on Door to Door SolicitationsThere are two types of door-to-door solicitations, commercial andnon-commercial. An example of commercial solicitation is doorto-doorsales. Examples of non-commercial solicitation are religiousgroups, political canvassers, and even trick-or-treaters.Door-to-door solicitation and sales have long been a part of ournation’s commerce. Valuable causes have been promoted by noncommercialsolicitation. Think of petitions, candidates, churches,and the free exchange of ideas which form the foundation of ourdemocracy.However, you may not want strangers approaching your home. Areview of federal law and City of Brecksville Ordinances concerningdoor-to-door solicitation can help you understand your rights.In 2002, the United States Supreme Court weighed in on the issueof non-commercial solicitations. In Watchtower Bible & Tract Societyof New York, Inc. v. Village of Stratton, the Court decided that aregulation must be narrowly tailored to a municipality’s interest inprotecting its residents from crime and fraud, but it cannot reach toofar in scope to prohibit noncommercial canvassers promoting a varietyof causes.In Watchtower, the petitioner was a religious organization thatcoordinated the preaching activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses. It sueda small town in southern Ohio, seeking an injunction against theenforcement of several sections of an ordinance regulating uninvitedpeddling and solicitation on private property in the town.The ordinance prohibited canvassers and others from going in andupon private residential property for the purpose of promoting anycause without first obtaining a permit from the mayor’s office.After striking down the town’s regulation on noncommercialsolicitors, the Court noted that the annoyance caused by an uninvitedknock at the door is the same whether or not the visitor is armed witha permit. The Court further noted that it was unlikely that the absenceof a permit would preclude criminals from knocking on doors andengaging in conversations not covered by the ordinance.One section of the town’s ordinance that the petitioner did notchallenge established a procedure by which a resident may prohibitsolicitation even by holders of permits. Where residents posted a “NoSolicitation” sign on their property, no uninvited canvassers mayenter the property unless they are specifically authorized to do so.Brecksville’s Codified Ordinances protect residents who do not desirecontact from solicitors:§ 705.01 DEFINITIONS.
