Public Meetings Report for the week of March 13, 2024
This week, Cleveland Documenters got a bit of a break from Cleveland City Council meetings. Much of council was in Washington D.C. for the National League of Cities’ 2024 Congressional City Conference. But, Documenters learned plenty from last week’s Cleveland City Council meetings. Including a Safety Committee meeting where council members discussed the effectiveness of ShotSpotter, curbing illegal trash dumping, and a program to offer free smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to Cleveland residents. Get the details in 5 minutes in this week’s podcast!
