PUBLIC PORTION
Andy Rattray, 37942 Sharpe, Willoughby - Regarding lighting requirements fore-bikes, Mr. Rattray explained that while riding his bicycle on Wood Street after dark several weeks earlier, he encountered two e-bikes with limited lighting and expressed concern about their visibility and safety. He asked whether lighting had been considered during Council's recent discussions and requested that the issue be reviewed to help improve rider safety. Mr. Mcconville stated that lighting was not specifically addressed in the recently enacted legislation; however, existing code provisions concerning bicycle lighting may also apply to electric and motorized bicycles. He stated he would look into it and report back to Council.
Heath Wenzel, 4404 River Street, Willoughby - See Exhibit A.
In addition to Mr. Wenzel's written statement, Mr. Wenzel requested Council to convene a Public Safety Committee hearing, require an annual transparency report, and review the policy before the contract is renewed or the system is expanded. He stated this is not an objection to effective policing; rather, it is a request that powerful surveillance tools be governed by clear rules, measurable results, and public accountability. Mr. Wenzel provided the Clerk with a signed copy of his statement and a supporting packet, and respectfully requested that the materials be incorporated into the minutes.

Purpose
This packet follows the September 1 public-records requests concerning Willoughby's Flock Safety program. The records confirm a program that grew from a free pilot into a five-year surveillance agreement, but the production does not fully answer questions about the original paid deployment, the pre-authorization contract sequence, program auditing, data sharing, effectiveness, and the specific basis for emergency passage.
The immediate request is straightforward: complete the public record, place independent oversight around the program, and require Council review before renewal or further expansion.
Packet Contents
• Three-minute public statement
• Findings and unresolved questions
• Requested Council actions
• Follow-up public-records request to the City
• Follow-up public-records request to the Police Department
• Source record index
Central finding The police chief reported signing the $183,000 agreement with the mayor's approval before Council authorization. Finance then advised that legislation was required. Council approved the agreement in one evening as an emergency measure, while the final DocuSign copy was executed after the vote.
Good evening. My name is Heath Wenzel. I am a Willoughby resident and small business owner. At the September 1 meeting, I asked for records concerning the city's Flock camera program. I appreciate that the city and Police Department produced documents, and I have now reviewed them carefully.
Those records confirm that Willoughby's program began as a free 60-day pilot for ten cameras in October 2020. It later became a $25,000 annual expense and, in 2023, expanded into a five-year, $183,000 agreement covering ten license-plate readers and four live downtown cameras.
The records also reveal a serious process concern. On August 23, 2023, Chief Schultz wrote that, with the mayor's approval, he had signed the new five-year contract that morning. The Finance Director responded, quote, 'You signed a new contract for $183,000? I believe we need legislation.' Council did not authorize that expenditure until September 5. The final DocuSign version was executed after the vote, so I am not accusing anyone of an illegal contract. But it is fair to ask why the administration appeared to commit to the deal before the public's elected representatives approved it.
Council then declared the matter an emergency, suspended three readings, and approved it that same evening. The written justification was public safety and unspecified 'time constraints.' Yet the records identify no deadline, immediate threat, or reason normal public review was impossible.
The production is also incomplete. It does not include the paid contracts from 2021 and 2022, the August 23 version reportedly signed, historical policies, sharing configurations, audit reports, or data supporting the claim that these cameras produced hundreds of arrests. The current policy says audits should occur regularly, but no audits were produced. The contract also permits statewide and nationwide searches and access to participating private cameras, but we were not told who can search Willoughby's data or which private cameras Willoughby can access.
I am submitting focused follow-up requests tonight. I am also asking Council to hold a public Safety Committee hearing, require an annual transparency report, and review the policy before this contract renews or the system expands. This is not opposition to effective policing. It is a request that powerful surveillance tools be governed by clear rules, measurable results, and public accountability. I am providing the Clerk a signed copy of this statement and packet and respectfully request that they be incorporated into the offici,....................................................... �

RE: Development Moratorium and Formal Notice of Ethical Conflict & Request for Third-Party Engineering Review For The Windermere Village Major Subdivision 1200 Lost Nation Rd and The Windermere Dr Brownfield Located at 1230 Lost Nation Rd / Windermere Dr Willoughby OH,44094
To the Administrative an� Legislative Officials of the State of Ohio and City of Willoughby in the County of Lake County Ohio 44094
This correspondence serves as a third formal public notice and inquiry regarding a substantial conflict of interest governed by Ohio Ethics Law (O.R.C. § 102.03) concerning the proposed major subdivision layout situated within 50 feet of the Lake County Land Bank Property ( A Private Nonprofit, Non-Governmental 501c3 Corporation) Brownfield Zoned Property and The Windermere Village Major Subdivision Located in Willoughby Ohio 44094
County Auditors plat ID: 2780560000130 (Brownfield )and County Auditors Plat ID: 27B056C000660 (Windermere VIiiage Major Subdivision)
Public record$ indicate that the City of Willoughby utilizes private engineering firm CT Consultants for municipal oversight, with Tim Lannon acting as the designated City Engineer. Concurrently, CT Consultants is providing a State Grant Funded Private Technical Services , Environmental Studies and Remediation Planning to the Lake County Land Bank (Lake County Land Reutilization Corporation) a "Private Nonprofit, Non-Governmental 501c3 Corporation" for the adjacent Brownfield Zoned Property's Delineation, Testing Phases 1 and 2, and to make Sound Scientific Recommendations for the Future Remediation of the Brownfield Site.
Under established Ohio Ethics Commission rulings, a contracted municipal engineer is legally prohibited from reviewing their own private work product, as they cannot maintain indMdual loyalty to a private client white protecting the fiduciary interests of the municipality.
Because the structural preliminary plat layout and Hydrologic and Hydraulic / Drainage (HACE) engineering rules for the subdivision are heavily dictated by the environmental boundaries, toxic runoff vectors, and soil integrity of the neighboring brownfield zone, any review performed by CT Consultants or Tim Lannon constitutes a facial violation of O.R.C. § 102.03.
Consequently, We the Community demand that the City of Willoughby produce public
Documentation confirming that City Engineer Tim Lannon and CT Consultants have been entirely recused from these Development Projects . Secondly, We request confirmation that the city has assigned a completely independent, neutral engineering corporation to conduct the HACE evaluation and plat verifications to guarantee public safety and legal compliance, Thirdly We Request that all previously premature actions taken by the City Administration, City Planning Commission, City Council Pertainin� To The Major Windermere VIiiage Subdivision While Having Known Knowledge of the Active Testing and Before the Proper Scientifically Backed Remediation Had Been Completed or Signed-Off Wrth a Documented NFA,{No Further Action) CNS, (Covenant Not to Sue)or a COC ( Certificate of Completion ) also without the Final Sign-Off By The Director of the Ohio EPA be Deemed NuU and Void. Lastly We Request a Development Moratorium be placed on this Development until All of The Above have been Satisfactorffy Completed.
Please submityour writtenresponse andfileconfirmationstomy addresslistedabove. Respectfully submitted,
I am formally submitting this written, signed and notarized copy of my testimony directly to the City Clerk of Council, Mrs. Novak, to be hard copied and entered permanently, accurately Into the official pubHc record and minutes.

NEW BUSINESS
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-121 Motion carried 7 to 0
A resolution authorizing the Mayor to request proposals from qualified persons or firms to provide an update to the City of Willoughby's Comprehensive Master Plan and Zoning Code, and declaring an emergency.
Mayor Fiala explained that Council had previously discussed undertaking a comprehensive review of the City’s planning documents, including the development of a new master plan, a review of the zoning code, and an update to the comprehensive plan. He noted that the project is expected to span two budget years and that the current legislation would authorize the City to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify and select a qualified consultant.
Mr. Tomaselli asked about the qualifications the City would seek in a consultant. Mayor Fiala stated that the field is highly specialized, consisting of a relatively small group of firms focused on urban planning and design. He noted that several nearby jurisdictions, including Lake County and the City of Mentor, have recently completed similar planning efforts, and the City intends to review those experiences, advertise the RFQ publicly, and actively solicit proposals from qualified firms.
Mr. Tomaselli further asked whether any consideration would be given to consultants or team members with local experience. He expressed concern that the City’s unique history and development patterns could be overlooked by outside consultants unfamiliar with Willoughby’s character and past planning decisions. Mayor Fiala agreed that local knowledge would be valuable and suggested that the City could require a selected consulting firm to partner with individuals who possess institutional knowledge of the community. He noted that blending specialized planning expertise with local insight could strengthen the final product.
Mr. Carr asked whether any of the consultants involved in previous planning efforts remained active. Mayor Fiala explained that the firm previously led by David Hart had since been acquired, although some individuals associated with those earlier projects, including Ms. Hopkins remain active and may submit proposals. He acknowledged the benefit of retaining individuals familiar with the City’s planning history.
Expanding on the need for the project, Mayor Fiala stated that the review would be complex and encompass multiple areas. In addition to updating the comprehensive plan, the City has identified numerous sections of its code that require revision due to age or changing conditions. He noted that the historic downtown design guidelines, for example, were adopted in 1980 and do not address modern technologies such as LED lighting and signage. As a result, several planning and zoning documents will need to be updated concurrently.
Mr. Tomaselli reiterated the importance of incorporating local perspectives into the process, noting that consultants often rely on standardized methodologies that may not fully reflect a community’s unique circumstances. Mayor Fiala agreed, observing that consultants frequently apply similar processes and solutions across multiple municipalities. Given the complexity of issues facing Willoughby, including matters related to the Lakefront District, downtown development, and site design review, he emphasized that involving individuals with local and institutional knowledge would help ensure the recommendations are tailored to the community’s specific needs and character.
ORDINANCE NO. 2026-122 Motion carried 7 to 0
An ordinance declaring that any funds remaining unclaimed for a period of five (5) years are hereby- forfeited and the Willoughby Building Department is hereby authorized to transfer said funds into the Willoughby General Fund, and declaring an emergency.
Mr. Carr noted that, although the ordinance references a five-year period, the funds at issue have been unclaimed for approximately 10 to 12 years and total nearly $100,000. Mr. Tomaselli stated that, while the City is legally entitled to recover the funds, he recommended removing the emergency clause. He explained that doing so would avoid the perception that the City was rushing to claim money that originally belonged to others, even though the funds have remained unclaimed well beyond the statutory period. Law Director McConville clarified that an emergency ordinance takes effect immediately upon passage, whereas a non-emergency ordinance becomes effective after 30 days. Council agreed to remove the emergency clause.
ORDINANCE NO. 2026-123 Motion carried 7 to 0
An ordinance amending Chapter 947 of the Codified Ordinances of the City of Willoughby, Ohio, titled, "Parks"; specifically, Section 947.03, titled "Hours" and Section 947.08, titled, "Prohibited Acts".
Ms. Keller stated park hours were discussed at a committee meeting, setting specific times for park hours. This ordinance also incorporates the prohibition of e-bikes in parks.
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-124 Motion carried 7 to 0
A resolution authorizing an expenditure in the amount of $78,140 to purchase and install four (4) new light poles at Osborne Park Pool from A.J. Goulder Electric, Inc., and declaring an emergency.
Mr. Carr stated that the funding appears to come from the capital budget, where approximately $80,000 to $82,000 had been allocated. He asked whether the request was intended to provide additional lighting. Ms. Keller confirmed that the existing lights are approximately 12 to 15 feet tall and are designed primarily to illuminate directly below. She explained that the proposed fixtures are sport-style lights that will project light across the pool area and water, improving visibility and safety during evening events and pool parties. Ms. Sievers asked whether the new lighting would improve visibility during periods of heavy rain, noting that a prior event had been suspended because staff could not adequately see swimmers. Ms. Keller responded that any decision to clear the pool during heavy rain would be based primarily on safety considerations.
RESOLUTION NO. 2026-125 Motion carried 7 to 0
A resolution approving Change Order No. 3 in the Osborne Park Coastal Improvements Phase 2 with Mark Haynes Construction, Inc., and declaring an emergency.
Mr. Carr stated that this was an opportunity to utilize excess fill material from one City project at another location that required fill. Mr. Tomaselli asked whether additional fill was still needed at the shredder plant site, particularly in the area east of the driveway. Mr. Knecht responded that there is still some capacity remaining, although it is limited. He explained that recent projects have utilized much of the available space.
The Legislative Caucus adjourned at 6:59 p.m.

MAYORS REPORT
Mayor Fiala thanked Council for confirming the trustee appointments to the Little Red Schoolhouse. He stated he and Council President Carr attended the organization's celebration two Saturdays ago, and they were impressed by the facility and all it has to offer. He stated it is an important community asset, and he hopes the City can identify additional opportunities to collaborate with the organization in the future. He stated that last weekend he attended a welcome event for Amy Sabath, the new executive director of the Fine Arts Association, who recently assumed the role. He looks forward to working with her, and he is optimistic about developing a strong, lasting collaboration between the Fine Arts Association and Andrews Osborne Academy.
DIRECTOR’S REPORTS
Law Director Mcconville - Mr. Mcconville reported that Cheri Lory retired with her final day last Friday. Several candidate interviews have been conducted this week and there are additional interviews scheduled for next week. He is hopeful that the City will be able to extend an offer and have a replacement in place soon.
Mr. Mcconville confirmed that the gas station moratorium ordinance is scheduled to expire on November 5th of this year. To allow time for continued consideration, he will include a proposed ordinance extending the moratorium on the next agenda. Mr. Luciano asked if the moratorium would be for six months or one year. Mr. Mcconville stated it was his understanding that the extension would be for six months, although the final decision is, of course, at Council's discretion. Because moratoriums extending beyond one year may be more likely to face legal challenges, he would recommend a six-month extension.
Service Director Knecht - Mr. Knecht reported that the northeast section of the Ohio Water Environment Association held its fall sectional meeting at the WPCC facility on September 24th. The event brought together 135 wastewater-industry professionals, who toured the plant and attended well-received presentations by Matt Turosky and Mike Brooks. He appreciates the staff at the WPCC for the substantial work required to host the meeting.
On behalf of City Engineer Lannon, Mr. Knecht reported that the Ridge Road slope repair was awaiting final pavement, guardrail installation, and striping, with an anticipated opening date of October 14th. Work on the River Street Soil Stabilization Project remains on schedule, with pile installation progressing during favorable weather. The Lincoln Avenue Storm Sewer project began several days early and was off to a strong start. For Phase Two of the Lakeshore EQ Basin, the final roof panels were being installed; although the project had initially fallen slightly behind schedule, the contractor was recovering time. The 2026 Concrete Pavement Slab Replacement Program was expected to conclude by Friday. The Ridge Road sidewalk project associated with Laketran was awaiting a Lake County Water shutdown so that a hydrant could be relocated. Because the shutdown would affect several area businesses, the parties were coordinating the schedule to minimize disruption; once the hydrant was moved, the remaining work was expected to be completed quickly. Surveying and excavation have also begun for the SOM Center Road sidewalk project near Walgreens, and the contractor expected it to finish on time.
Mr. Garry asked whether a retaining wall would be installed near Walgreens, noting that a substantial portion of the embankment had been excavated. Mr. Knecht confirmed that a wall was being considered to retain the slope.
Mr. Anderson asked if someone could remove the sign stating that Route 84 would be closed for 60 days, stating that he's received a few complaints. Mr. Knecht stated he would have it removed. Mr. Tomaselli asked why the project had exceeded the original 60-day schedule and had continued for more than 90 days. Mr. Knecht explained that the contractor encountered unexpectedly poor soil conditions, which required significant additional work on the piles. Despite the unforeseen conditions, the contractor continued working without complaint and made every effort to complete the project as quickly as possible. He stated that a different schedule likely would have been provided had the soil conditions been known in advance and expressed appreciation for the contractor's persistence in bringing the work to completion. Mr. Carr recalled that Mr. Lannon had stated at the previous meeting that the contractor had not requested a change order for additional compensation. Mr. Knecht confirmed that no change order had been requested.
Fire Chief Ungar - Chief Ungar stated that Councilwoman Sievers had requested a review of Ohio's open burning laws as residents begin using outdoor fires in the fall. He explained that open burning complaints represent only a very small fraction of the Fire Department's more than 6,500 annual emergency responses. Open burning, such as a large, uncontained pile of material burning in a yard is prohibited throughout the City largely because such fires generally cannot meet the required 50-foot separation from structures in the City's neighborhoods. Recreational fires and permitted bonfires, however, are allowed. Bonfires are limited to approved celebrations, such as events at South High School or local churches, and may require a fire engine on standby depending on their size. He stated that the department most often responds to concerns involving backyard recreational fires. Such fires must be contained in an approved portable fireplace, chiminea, commercially available fire pit, or a properly constructed in-ground or above-ground pit no larger than three feet wide and two feet deep. Only dry, seasoned firewood may be burned. Many complaints arise when residents burn wet wood or prohibited materials. As a practical guideline, he advised that residents should burn outdoors only the type of material they would place in an indoor fireplace; leaves, pine, treated lumber, and similar materials are not permitted. When properly contained and fueled, a recreational fire may be located within 15 feet of a structure and may be used for pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, cooking, warmth, or similar activities.
Chief Ungar emphasized that merely presenting an activity as cooking does not make an otherwise improper fire permissible. He recalled responding to a large fire involving lumber from a dismantled pool deck, where the resident attempted to characterize the fire as recreational by holding a hot dog over it. Because treated lumber was being burned, the fire remained unsafe and prohibited. He explained that the Fire Department retains the authority to extinguish a fire or direct a resident to stop adding fuel when the materials or conditions do not comply with applicable requirements. He concluded that most local complaints involve recreational fires that produce excessive smoke or contain prohibited materials rather than true open burning.
Mr. Tomaselli asked when the City expected to take delivery of the fire truck. Chief Ungar stated that the City had neither rejected nor formally accepted the fire engine because several items needed to be completed before it returned from the factory. Delivery was not expected that week but could occur the following week. He noted that the manufacturer has a mobile unit capable of completing certain equipment installations. As an example, the traffic-signal preemption device had been installed in the warning-light assembly, but its mounting bracket had not yet arrived. He characterized the remaining work as minor items delayed by parts that were not delivered on time.
Police Chief Schultz - Chief Schultz expressed appreciation for the strong partnership between the community, local businesses, residents, and public safety agencies. He emphasized that maintaining a safe and vibrant community requires ongoing collaboration among all stakeholders. He reported that police and fire personnel responded to nearly 400 calls for service over the weekend, with only seven involving criminal incidents. Those incidents included two arrests resulting from proactive traffic stops, one shoplifting arrest, two theft cases in which suspects were apprehended and property recovered, and two isolated property-damage incidents. In addition, officers issued 16 traffic and minor misdemeanor citations and arrested two individuals on outstanding warrants. He noted that approximately 95% of all calls for service involved non-criminal matters, including community assistance, wellness checks, traffic enforcement, and other proactive public safety efforts.
Chief Schultz also highlighted a recent felony assault investigation involving a suspect who fled to Georgia. Through coordination with law enforcement partners and the use of license plate reader technology, authorities located, arrested, and returned the suspect to Willoughby. He stressed that while crime occurs in every community, success is measured by how agencies respond, collaborate, and remain committed to public safety. He commended the department's officers, dispatchers, and support staff for their dedication, integrity, and investment in the community.
Addressing recent concerns regarding late-night activity in downtown Willoughby, Chief Schultz stated that the department recently met with a downtown business owner to discuss strategies for improving safety and reducing potential issues. He noted that these discussions reflect the importance of proactive partnerships and community engagement. He concluded by reaffirming his commitment to maintaining strong relationships with residents and businesses.
Mr. Anderson inquired about the logistics of transporting the Georgia fugitive back to Ohio. Chief Schultz explained that, through the department's partnership with the Lake County Sheriff's Office, a sheriff's deputy and a Willoughby police officer traveled to Atlanta, took custody of the suspect at the airport, and transported him back to the area.
Mr. Tomaselli asked whether recent meetings with downtown business owners were prompted by a measurable increase in late-night incidents or were simply part of ongoing outreach efforts. Chief Schultz responded that the department has maintained an ongoing relationship with the Downtown Bar and Restaurant Association and regularly participates in meetings to exchange information and address concerns. While activity in the downtown area fluctuates, particularly during busy summer months, holiday weekends, and special events, the department's goal is to identify potential issues early and work collaboratively with businesses and residents to prevent problems before they escalate.
Mr. Tomaselli stated that public perception of increased downtown activity may be influenced by social media and online videos and questioned whether officers were spending more time downtown than they would prefer. Chief Schultz acknowledged that social media can sometimes make incidents appear more serious than they are. He emphasized that officers respond promptly when issues arise and that ongoing meetings with downtown businesses are intended to address concerns proactively and reduce the need for continual police presence.
Chief Building and Zoning Inspector Keller - Regarding City's short-term rental regulations following the adoption of the new legislation, Mr. Keller reported that Stacy Rentz has been proactively identifying short-term rental properties through platforms such as VRBO and Airbnb and notifying property owners of the applicable requirements rather than waiting for complaints to be filed. These efforts have been largely successful. In a few cases, property owners have chosen to appeal determinations to the Board of Zoning Appeals regarding the eligibility of their properties for short-term rental use, while in one instance the owner decided to sell the property. He stated that enforcement and compliance efforts are progressing well and encouraged Council members to forward any complaints or information regarding potential short-term rentals to the office. He noted that staff may already have information on the property and will continue to investigate and follow up as appropriate.
Parks & Recreation Director Keller - Ms. Keller invited the community to attend the Trick-or-Treat Trail on Saturday, October 24th, at 12:00 p.m. at Osborne Park. The Pumpkin Chunkin event will precede the trail and is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. She stated there are three high school teams and one open team currently registered.
Finance Director Hoffman - Ms. Hoffman thanked Council for the passage of amended Ordinance No. 2026-122. She stated that the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report has been released by the Auditor of State. The audit was completed with no findings, no deficiencies, and no internal control weaknesses identified. The report is available on the City's website.
COUNCIL REPORTS
Mr. Luciano - Mr. Luciano thanked PJ Turosky and Doug Pecarcik for meeting with him to discuss procedures for leaf pickup and snow removal.
ADJOURNMENT
The Regular Council Meeting adjourned at 7:48 p.m.
COMMENTS BY COUNCILMAN KARY
We were informed that the Gas Station build will begin on November 2, 2026 (corner of Lost Nation Road and Tamarac). They will start with the ground infrastructure. We are working with the city and the owner to address the temporary sidewalk so pedestrian traffic can return. I have worked on this over the past 2 weeks to remedy the poor solution initially put in place. I requested a change, and I will do my best to let everyone know when it will take place.
Keep an eye on the Planning Commission agendas, as some projects will be proposed for Ward 2 further south in the Light Industrial areas. I cannot share much at this point until they appear on my formal Agenda. Again, I will share all when I know the details.
Sincerely,
Ken
