The Solon City Council set to meet tonight at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall
There's a good chance the Solon City Council will take up two of its most controversial items today: the deer management plan and the rental inspection ordinance. The city council has avoided the topics at its recent meetings because some members were absent, and council wanted everyone there before discussing some of Solon's biggest issues. The meeting is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, with pre-meeting caucus scheduled for 7 p.m. But City Council will also hold a special meeting at 5:45 p.m. to discuss redistricting the city's seven wards, a result of population changes revealed by the 2010 Census.

"If we're asking the apartments to police themselves, what's the point of doing it?" said Ward 3 Councilwoman Toni Richmond. She …
Work session to continue deliberations on the rental ordinance continue today at 5 p.m.
The Solon City Council will continue its discussion today of the proposed rental inspections ordinance. That discussion began earlier this month, when City Council met and read through the controversial ordinance line by line. The meeting is set to begin at 5 p.m. today in City Hall. A four-vote majority of city council is leaning toward including inspections for the city's rental properties in the ordinance, while three councilmen don't like the idea. The supporters are council members Toni Richmond, Ed Kraus, Nancy Meany and Robert Pelunis. Rick Bell, Bill Russo and Bill Mooney are leaning against it.
