Car crashed into chambers in June, causing thousands of dollars in damage. Repairs already begun.
The Strongsville City Council in a special council meeting Tuesday approved funding for a $116,000 project to repair damage to council chambers from a runaway car that smashed into the chambers on June 20.

Strongsville City Council has approved legislation that makes it a minor misdemeanor to remove recyclable material from the curb while it is awaiting pickup by a refuse truck. It's not a big problem, officials acknowledge. But the police department occasionally gets a complaint from a resident upset about the disappearance of blue-bagged cans, glass or plastics from the tree lawn. Councilman Joe DeMio said people who spend time separating and packaging their recyclables often feel the city should get the money the materials generate. The measure will be complaint-driven.
