Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Shaker Heights public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Sewer project impacts and bond debt service
Council formally appropriated $2.087 million for sewer bond debt service, and a resident living at a sewer easement site described months of disruption, pumps and poor lawn restoration.
Sewer flow monitoring and illicit discharge detection
A three-year AECOM contract will monitor sewer flows during rain events and hunt for illicit discharges — part of the ongoing effort to fix the city's 100-year-old sewer system and bolster grant applications.
Electric aggregation program supply contract
The city locked in a new electricity supplier for residents in the aggregation program starting June 1, 2026, keeping 100% renewable power through wind credits. Council debated whether the green credits program still delivers value if Ohio-based or certified credits aren't available.
