Thanksgiving Updates

Westlake City Council will hold a public hearing on an ordinance that modernizes how residents are notified about Planning Commission hearings.
Currently, notices must be published twice in a newspaper. The proposed change would give the city flexibility to either publish in a newspaper OR post notices on the City Hall Bulletin Board, in the Clerk of Commissions office, and on the city website.
This update helps ensure residents can access important public hearing information through multiple channels while maintaining transparency in city planning decisions.

We are in the final stretch! 🎁🚨

Westlake City Hall is proud to partner with Toys for Tots to bring joy to local families in need—but the deadline is approaching fast!

🧸 Toys for Tots: Please drop off new, unwrapped toys at City Hall by Tuesday, December 2nd. We are accepting donations Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM.

🦁 Lights for Lions: While you are stopping by, bring your broken or old holiday lights! We are collecting them for the Lights for Lions program. Instead of throwing them in the trash, recycle them with us to help support lion and cheetah conservation at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.

Let’s come together to make this holiday season bright for everyone (and our zoo animals too)! 🎄🧡
