Public Meetings Report for the week of April 22, 2024

The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the playoffs again. Meanwhile, Cleveland Documenters aren’t playing any games at these local government meetings. Last week, they caught a Cleveland City Council meeting packed with info to share with you, including residents speaking out against plans to build a new school building at Cudell Park, Council’s 14 week summer break plan, and complaints Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb’s hiring of his college roommate Phillip McHugh as public safety advisor. That and more in this week’s episode… in less than five minutes. Give a listen.

Their work has been compiled this week by Doug Breehl-Pitorak and Anastasia Vanisko. The Public Meetings Report is produced by Gennifer Harding-Gosnell.
