2022 Election – CAC Commissioner Positions for Districts 3, 6, & 8

,

Elections for seats on the Clintonville Area Commission will be held August 27, 2022. Elections had previously been held on the first Saturday in May but the CAC decided to join in a City-wide project to have area commission elections on the same day each year.  The Election will be held in the Whetstone Library’s Meeting Room.  Districts on the ballot this year are numbers 3, 6, and 8 for seats currently held by Libby Wetherholt, Joe Motil and Jim Garrison.  Boundaries for these districts are:

District 3: Bounded on the south by the center line of Weber Road, on the east by the railroad tracks just east of Indianola, on the north by the center line of Oakland Park Avenue, and on the west by the center line of High Street.

District 6: Bounded on the south by the center line of Hollenback Drive and its westward projection, on the east by the center line of High Street, on the north by the south line of Sharon Township and its eastward projection and on the west by the Olentangy River.

District 8: Bounded on the south by the center line of Garden Road, on the east by the railroad tracks just east of Indianola, on the north by the south line of the State Schools for the Deaf and Blind and the center line of Georgetown Drive and its westward projection, and on the west by the center line of High Street.

Residents interested in running for a seat on the commission must pick up a Candidate Petition which will be available at Whetstone Library beginning June 18, 2022.  Interested residents will have to submit a completed petition by July 23 including signatures of 25 people in their district wishing to nominate the resident for a seat on the commission.

Blueprint Clintonville 3 Update (Meeting 3/16 via Zoom)

,

From District 4 Clintonville Area Commissioner Hugh Crowell:

The first (virtual) public meeting for the Clintonville 3 Blueprint Columbus project has been announced.  The March 16 meeting is important because it will be the first opportunity for residents to see where the City is considering installing rain gardens and pervious pavement – remember that one of these projects may be located on your street, or in front of your house or your neighbor’s house. There are excellent science-based reasons for doing this project, but construction may be disruptive for many residents.
Here are the details of the meeting:
