A Message From the Mayor

As I write this Spring newsletter it has been just over one year since the start of the pandemic and lockdown in our State and throughout the country.

During this past year of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 Council meetings have been held via zoom as permitted by legislation passed by the State Legislature at the beginning of the pandemic. Most recently we have been meeting in person following the guidelines for masking and social distancing.

I am pleased to report that Village personnel and members of Council have weathered this pandemic very well. We continued to do the work of the residents of our Village.

At Council’s organization meeting in January, Councilwoman Kathleen Hale was elected Village Council President.  Many thanks to Councilman Ken Kvacek for the three years he served as Council president and his efforts in that regard.

So Spring is finally here restrictions related to the pandemic are beginning to loosen as we all look forward to some normality in our lives.

Village finances remain stable, as we continue to hold Village expenses below budgeted amounts.

As you go through this newsletter, please review the road projects scheduled for spring and summer as outlined by the Village Engineer.  The Village Park has reopened and a schedule of events is included with newsletter. Also see the schedule from the service department for branch pickup beginning May 15, 2021 and please review the Kimble calendar enclosed for trash and recycling pickup.

Finally, thank you for your overwhelming support for the two Village Renewal Levies which were passed in November.

Have a wonderful summer.

 

Leonard A. Spremulli, Mayor
Village of Bentleyville

Connect 4 Seniors Chore Referral Program

Connect 4 Seniors Chore Referral Program provides seniors with referrals for dependable paid workers. You will be provided with up to 3 separate referrals for the type of assistance you are requesting (i.e. carpentry, handyman, painting, etc.). Your referrals will have had reference checks completed by our volunteers and staff. You may then contact the referrals to discuss your needs. You decide and hire whomever you choose. The Chore Referral Program will continue with ongoing reference checks, by following up with you and others who have utilized the Connect 4 Seniors Chore Referral Program. They will find out if the job was completed and if the outcome was acceptable.

Contact the Solon Senior Center at (440) 349-6363 for more information.

AUTO AND DRIVER REGISTRATION FEES

Just a reminder – when you register for your auto license or your driver’s license, be sure to specify “Bentleyville” rather than just 44022. That way Bentleyville will get the local portion of your fee rather than having it go to Chagrin Falls. Thanks for your help.
