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. …

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.
