Beachwood City of merle S. GorDen 216.292.1901 maYor vision 2014 and beyond On Monday, June 9, Mayor Merle S. Gorden scheduled a public meeting with City Council to discuss a conceptual plan of the city's “Vision 2014 and Beyond.” “These discussions introduced the possibilities and opened lines of communication to allow further development of Vision 2014 and Beyond,” said Mayor Merle S. Gorden. Components of this plan, currently under consideration, have been a result of collaboration and discussion amongst all 9 directors. We are now ready to further explore the possibilities. Vision 2014 and Beyond can be grouped into the following categories: FreD GooDman preSIDent 216.464.6624 martIn S. horwItz 216.464.6560 aleC ISaaCSon 216.291.2797 SAFETY SERVICES • proposed Fire Station #2 – Fire Station #2, currently located on Chagrin Blvd., is antiquated and undersized. This station serves the south end of our community which continues to grow. The City of Beachwood owns land at Richmond Road and Park East Drive, a site under consideration for a new station. Responding to an emergency in a timely fashion is our main priority. We will not compromise services for location. • police Headquarters – Police Department layout and operational flow need to be evaluated. A new station or extensive renovation will be necessary to operate more efficiently. Beyond space, the location of our evidence room, traffic-bureau, roll-call area, report room, locker rooms and dispatch areas all need to be taken into consideration. ...we will collectively evaluate options that will best benefit the future of the City of Beachwood. – Mayor Gorden melvIn jaCobS 216.464.1541 • area-Wide Dispatch – An area-wide dispatch center is being proposed. We are already doing business with Pepper Pike and are negotiating the possibility of bringing other cities onboard. If dispatch stays in its current location, it will be necessary to expand into areas currently housed by different departments. This is driven by the county to combine dispatch centers for more regional efficiency. • Jail – Currently 20 years old, our jail's control boards need to be updated or replaced. The Sally Port (secure, controlled entryway) and jail need to be enlarged and reconfigured to meet state mandates that will occur over the next 20 years. mark mIntz 216.360.0330 jameS paSCh 216.630.9671 City Contact Information City of BeaChwood 25325 Fairmount Boulevard Beachwood, Ohio 44122 216.464.1070 www.beachwoodohio.com like us on faCeBook www.facebook.com/ BeachwoodOH follow us on twitter twitter.com/ BeachwoodOH follow BeaChwood poliCe on twitter twitter.com/BeachwoodPolice tv programming time warner - Ch. 96.20 at&t u-verse - Ch. 99 emergenCy Dial 9-1-1 Clerk of CounCil 216.595.5493 mark I. waChter 216.765.1921
