On one hand, most people would probably agree that it’s important to be informed about local government. On the other hand, most people would probably say that keeping up with Norwood City Council isn’t always easy or fun. Meetings can run long and procedures can be confusing, and the overall effect can leave people feeling disengaged with their communities.
Toward the goal of making it easier for the average citizen to keep up with the action, I’m trying this new concept: Norwood City Council in 9.
On the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, I’m going to watch the Council meeting and boil it down to its most essential parts. That way, you can keep your two+ hours and still get the meat and potatoes of what happened at the meeting.
On this edition of the show, we’ll cover highlights from the June 9, 2020 meeting, including:
- An update from Chief Kramer of the Norwood Police Department
- The decision to buy a “new” ladder truck for our fire department
- A $30,000 grant to explore the revitalization of Montgomery Rd.
- And a lightning round with updates from Mayor Schneider and more

Since this is the maiden voyage of Norwood City Council in 9, I would love to hear your feedback. If it’s not helpful for you, I don’t need to spend all this time producing it. If you do find it useful, then please say so. I’m just taking a shot in the dark and will be curious to see what you think.
