4. Rust Belt Riders Information Session:
Zoe Apisdorf gave an informative talk about Rust Belt Riders. The company began 11 years ago
and has grown to a 30+ employee food/green waste compost processor, which produces soil
products (Tilth). They have many community and corporate sponsors. She talked about the issues
with food waste which comprises a large % of landfill inputs which in turn is a contributor to
increased methane emissions. There are two local options for utilizing Rust Belt Riders services.
These sites take a greater variety of compostable materials than can be put in local yard
composting. Meat products, bones, dairy are examples of this.
The first is a municipal option where the local city/village finds a location and pays for the
containers. A code is provided to local residents for use of the containers. The current price is
$85/container/week but that pricing is currently undergoing revision. …

Steele Residence — Dormer Addition
35655 Miles Road
Architect Josh Cunningham was in attendance to present the project. Mr. Cunningham said the homeowners
wish to create a better bathroom and a new suite over the garage. Those changes require a dormer addition
on the front to create more headroom. It will match the existing dormer on the rear of the home.
Mr. Richman noted that reviewing architect Richard Kawalek approved the design, noting there were several
alternate versions but that the version shown as the concept rendering would be most in keeping with the
style of the house. Mr. Cunningham said they agree to signing off on the preferred elevation, which has
windows to match the house.
As there were no additional comments, Mr. Richman made a motion seconded by Mr. Kochis to approve the

Mayor —
Mayor Spencer stated that he wanted to first talk about the power outage issues. He and Mr. Janke
met with First Energy and he did a follow up with them and he received additional information
from them that he shared with Council. A summary of that communication was posted. It just so
happens that the power went out again today, which was a result of an accident that occurred
between Hiram and Chagrin Blvd. A tree fell down and hit a truck; there were 3 people in that
truck that incurred injuries. When the tree fell, it landed on the power lines, so the power needed
to be shut off in order for it to be fixed. Information was posted about it on both the Village and
Police Department social media pages. Mayor Spencer stated that he did write about the power
outages in the July newsletter, which they should be receiving today. The information is a little
older now, but it is still relevant. Residents have told him that th …
