Further Request for a report listing the reports available to council
Request for the City's Investment Statements that Council has no detail on and no balance since March of 2026.
Response to request for the City's Statements from the beginning of the year to October for StarOhio and Huntington Bank.
After becoming Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee in July, I began requesting the financial reports needed to carry out meaningful oversight. Those requests initially went unanswered by the administration, and my frustration grew. The committee needs current and timely reports to understand the City’s financial position and historical reports to see how account balances, revenues, and spending have changed over time. Without that information, we cannot adequately assess financial trends, make reasonable projections, or conduct the informed review residents deserve.
In October, I received some documents in response to my public records requests, but the requests remain only partially fulfilled. I will seek five years of standard financial reports to establish a clear picture of the City’s financial trajectory, and the continued delays to my requests have left me doubtful that the administration will provide the complete record. Until we receive sufficient, reliable information, I cannot confidently assure residents that the committee has the information it needs to evaluate the City’s financial condition. Providing that assurance requires records we can examine and reconcile.

The website www.SheffieldLake.community is both a work of irony and a platform of ideas.
It playfully satirizes the hypersensitivities of those who zealously defend Mayor Rocky Radeff’s policies, while earnestly offering real-world proposals for improving life in Sheffield Lake.
This site serves two purposes:
To highlight, through gentle parody, the contradictions and overreactions that too often dominate local discourse, and
To present serious, forward-looking solutions for residents to evaluate and discuss.
While its tone occasionally employs humor and irony, the underlying intent is civic — to inform, challenge, and inspire thoughtful conversation about the future of our city.
Authorized and maintained by Jon Morrow, Councilman, Ward 1, City of Sheffield Lake.
