A Message from Mayor Mark A. Tyler
It's official! Spring has returned to the City of Kirtland!
On behalf of the City, I would like to once again express
my heartfelt gratitude and sincere appreciation to the
residents of Kirtland for the passage of our recent road
levy. Improved roads enhance our ability to further
pursue economic development and provide increased
mobility to residents and visitors. We are committed to
enhancing the safety and beautification of the City of
Kirtland while protecting and developing the future of
our community.

Kirtland PD Wins AAA Traffic Safety Award
We have a fantastic Police Department dedicated to Kirtland. Over the past years
the efforts of their work have been rewarded by the American Automobile
Association 13 times with 5 Gold Awards and 8 Platinum Awards for Community
Traffic Safety. The activities of many City Departments have helped to reduce
accidents and make our streets safer. Examples of the programs and efforts that
have improved our safety are the Lakeland College intersection improvements and
turn lanes, culverts filled and piped to prevent rollover accidents, campaigns such as
“Click it or Ticket” to encourage seat belt use and “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,”
motorcycle awareness and Safety Town provided by our Recreation Department.
Accolades to Chief Baumgart's Administrative Assistant, Lynne Kravos for initiating the
annual reporting to AAA. These efforts were rewarded by the City achieving the
Gold and Platinum Awards. Thank you Lynne!

Road Improvement Planning to Begin Soon
Starting this spring, all roads in the City of Kirtland will be evaluated by the
Public Works Administrator and the City Engineer. A prioritized list of roads to
be resurfaced and repaired will be established. A schedule of work will be
developed to ensure the City has an effective road improvement program
in place before work begins. The Public Works Department will work
diligently to keep the roads safe for residents and visitors. Safe and reliable
roads are critical for a successful community.
Fire Department Implements
Lock Box Program
The Kirtland Fire Department has recently implemented a new lock
box program for its residents. The Roper lock box, (left) hangs over the
resident’s door and has a spare key inside. In an emergency, the Fire
Department can gain entry into the home without any damage to
doors or windows. The Fire Department is the only department that
has a master key to these boxes. The program is ideal for elderly
residents who live alone or have medical alert buttons. The lock box is
affordable at $25 per box. For more information, please call the
Kirtland Fire Department at 440-256-8979 and ask for Vicki Grinstead.

Mayor Tyler’s Message Continued from Front Cover
Congratulations are extended to one of Kirtland’s beloved
residents, Mr. Joseph DiFranco. On Sunday, February 22, Joe
was presented with the Knight of the French Legion of Honor
medal by honorary French Consulate Stephen J. Knerly at
American Legion Post 214 in Willoughby. Created by
Napoleon, it is the highest honor that France can bestow
upon those who have achieved remarkable deeds for
France. Joe was honored for his courage and bravery while
serving in World War II as a member of the Army’s 862nd
Engineer Aviation Battalion. The City of Kirtland is proud to
call Mr. DiFranco one of our own and is forever grateful for
his service.

Mayor Tyler’s 2015 Budget Recap
Kirtland Finance Director Keith Martinet and I
presented the Mayor’s Budget for Fiscal Year
2015 to City Council on February 18th for review
and approval. I would like to share with you
some of the highlights of the City Operating
Budget and how it will impact the Kirtland
community.
Revenues to the City for 2015 are estimated at
$7,218,750, which represents an increase of
$555,921 compared to the actual 2014 receipts of
$6,662,829. This rise is mainly due to additional
revenue of approximately $460,000 generated
from the 2014 Road Levy.
Welcome
New Kirtland PD Officers
Jose Carrillo
Municipal tax revenues for 2015 are estimated at
$5,438,100 reflecting an overall increase of
$579,456 over last year. Property tax revenues in
2015 are estimated at $2,113,100, resulting in an
increase of $423,895 from last year.
The City will be paving Sperry Road from Route 6
to Kirtland-Chardon Road this year, in large part
through grants from both the Ohio Public Works
Department (OPWC) and the Lake County
Stormwater Management Department (LCSMD).
The OPWC assistance alone will provide 50% of
the cost for the project.
Recommended expenditures in 2015 will total
$7,635,675, which reflects an increase of 2.70%
from last year’s appropriation of $7,435,265. This
modest increase is due to the purchase of a new
snow plow for Public Works, two new cruisers for
the Police Department, a new vehicle for the Fire
Department, and needed upgrades to the
Community and Senior Center.
The 2015 budget is a financial plan that
emphasizes “Programs of Services” aimed
primarily to better the community. The council
and City administration continue to work
diligently to provide the residents with the best
services possible.
I hope you found this information helpful and I
welcome any comments you may have.
Everyone here at City Hall is committed to
making the City of Kirtland a great place to live
and work. We hope that 2015 will be a
productive and prosperous year for our
community.
Eric LaTurner
Michael Martin
In July Jose Carrillo
became a full time
officer with Kirtland
after having been
part time for over a
year. Jose’s smile
will be seen
around the city
throughout his
career.
In August, Eric
LaTurner joined us
full time and we
hope that he too
will continue a full
career in Kirtland
and become a
recognized face in
our community.
Michael Martin, is
currently finishing
testing and he will
soon become a full
time officer in the
department. We
are proud of
Michael and
expect good
things from him
over the coming
years.
The Kirtland Police Department wishes all
of our residents a safe and happy 2015.
We shall endeavor to continue bringing
you quality policing with a heart. We
encourage you to drive safely and to call
us for any policing needs you may have.

10:00AM-hunt begins
Mark your calendars for the annual Easter Egg Hunt! The event is on
Saturday, March 28 at 10:00 a.m. at the Kirtland Community Center for
Kirtland children 10 and under (adult chaperones required). Kids can
bring their Easter baskets to collect eggs. Outdoor hunt begins promptly at
10:00 (dress appropriately!). Prize baskets are awarded to the finder of
the Golden Egg. Indoor activities include kid tattoos, stickers, live rabbits
and friends, games, crafts, and a visit with the Easter Bunny. In addition,
the Kirtland Senior Center is hosting an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast
from 9:00 -- 11:00 for a nominal fee.
In case of inclement weather, the outdoor hunt is cancelled and eggs are
handed out indoors on a first-come, first-served basis until they are gone.
However, the pancake breakfast, a visit with the Easter Bunny and all of
the aforementioned children’s activities will still take place indoors.
Registration is not required. Please join us.
