WCPN Cleveland City Council appointed Delores Gray to serve out Phyllis Cleveland s term representing Ward 5.
Cleveland City Council on Monday appointed Delores Gray, a community advocate in the city’s Central neighborhood, to fill Phyllis Cleveland’s seat representing Ward 5.
Cleveland recommended Gray as her replacement, following an often-invoked council tradition in which an outgoing member recommends a successor to serve out his or her term. Cleveland announced her resignation last week, citing health issues.
Gray is a community engagement coordinator for Care Alliance Health Center, a medical provider with offices in Central and Downtown Cleveland, she said. She serves on the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority’s Progressive Action Council, a resident advocacy organization. She also has served on the board of Burten, Bell, Carr, the community development corporation for the Central and Kinsman neighborhoods.
Six Cleveland City Council members back creating a time for public speaking at meetings Robert Higgs, cleveland.com, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Six members of Cleveland City Council have called for creating a time for public speaking during council meetings to let people directly address their government.
A grassroots organization has drafted legislation that would establish a public speaking time, something the council has never had. The legislation also would expand public speaking at committee meetings.
“You’ve got a right to petition your government,” Councilman Kerry McCormack said Friday. Residents often access that government through their council representative, but allowing public speaking would provide a greater connection and greater transparency of government, he said.
